Comments on: Bush Defends His Economic Record

Says Admin. Has Been "Clear And Candid" About Nation's Economy; Dems Fault President For Ignoring Home Front

[jjp735i]

Only Bush and a few friends believe his bushit any more. People need to save their rebates. Winter heating rates have also risen and every penny will be needed to keep warm this winter.

[namesnames]

crude output isn''t what is controlling the supply, refined output is.

[mh4cbs1]

Bush has alot to be proud of:

massive tax cuts for the very wealthy

skyrocketing gap between the rich and the working class

a needless 3 TRILLION dollar war, based on LIES

huge deficits, raising the debt to over Nine Trillion

home mortgage fiasco

industry cronies running our EPA, FDA, Dept of interior...

$100 Billion Oil Company Pure Profits (last year)while the average sucker pays $3.50/gallon

Falling dollar

George Bush has done a tremendous job. We in the Billionaires Club love the guy! Stop whining!

[sleepyric]

what irritates me the most regarding price of gas...we rushed to save Kuwait during the first gulf war...then we see pics of Bush holding hands with Saudis, and for the past three years, they (arabs) have been reducing output?????? Hey Arabs...don''t you owe us a little bit??? Increase production, ok?
The irritation is, that all the hand holding, etc...by GWB didn''t get us squat...he''s an incompent, flaccid, prick...

[mcvet]

Ah, it''''s so refreshing to see people blame their own elected officials for everything under the sun. Don''''t any of you see your own part in all of this? Am I the only one that sees your own greed for bigger homes, more credit, bigger SUV''''s as the largest part of the cause of this economic implosion. Go ahead and blame a President who just happened to be in office when all these things occurred. It won''''t change a thing. Neither will electing any of the three idiots pretending to have a clue on foreign affairs or what to do when you get sucker punched by a camel jockey that has your money in his pocket funding his tantrums.

Duh??? This Piece of Human Trash YOU call a President was handed a Government with a BALANCED Budger, A Surplus AND at peace. Look at it now!! This trashy thing LIED us into a war set to cost us 2 TRILLION Dollars... HE LIED us into a War over nothing but OIL... guess what. IT didn''t work because NOW Gas is nearly $4.00 a Gal. What was it when the slime dog took over?? Me thinks it was somewhere around a $1.20 a gallon. Now IF, as Senator McSame said the other day, We''re going to have an energy policy whereby our kids will not have to be sent into the Middle East AGAIN, I''d suggest that policy SHOULD have come from THIS tired INCOMPETENT LOSER! Sieg Heil Bush

[prinzowhales]

One estimate places at 60% of the price of oil as due to speculation...the so-called "free market"...the one that is as contrived as the Enron Potemkin trading room used to gull visitors into thinking that a real market was responsible for the gouging of California''s power users.

"Make yourselves sheep and the wolves will eat you!" said old Ben Franklin. Americans have succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of the financiers who hold the sheers...and the silly beasts still support the Demopublican accomplices of Big Oil! "You can''t fix stupid," Ron White said...and the financiers are banking on it!

[crater7]

WHEN BUSH SPEAKS, NO BODY LISTEN''S. BUSH''S "WORDS DON''T MATTER."

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

[prinzowhales]

And what an impressive economic record you have, Mr. President! Four dollar gas, job exportation and people importation. "Mission Accomplished!" It will be winter soon in Paraguay...

[dinodavid220]

BUSH IS AN IDIOT, I HOPE THE FUTURE REMEMBERS THIS A.S.SHOLE

[apprxam]

I know, it''s too cool.

[apprxam]

When Bush say''s "there isn''t a recession", I think he really believes it. Remember his father in 1992 basically said the same thing. He''s not only in the proverbial "velvet prison" (Truman) of the Oval Office, but his friends, like "Kenny Boy", are doing exceptionally well and you are what you eat.

Thank, Magoo...I can''t count.

ApprxAm said: "I don''t think it''ll take 20 years for that to happens. The rich love him now."

True enough. Please keep posting, your knowledge is broad and deep, and I like drinking it in that way...

[fjinnw]

no doubt to him everything was a success

[magoo2u1]

Bush has an economic record?

"-Oil/gas has nearly doubled in price" ?
A barrel of oil is 112 dollars. When Bush was elected 8 yrs ago a barrel was 22 dollars. Thats not double , that''s 5 times or 500%.

[apprxam]

The worst dollar-to-pound ratio in seventy years, and worst ratio to Canada ever.

American companies build products over seas, take advantage of the dollar weakness and either taxed at the low Cheney-rate or not at all because of the Caymen Isl.

All they need is Prudoe Bay to give the veneer of oil security in order to fool the American people, like Reagan did after the oil crisis of the late seventies, into believing that all-is-well to keep them in big trucks and low milage vehicles. GM and Ford will need and get the boost.

Oh, so many things this great man has done, I don''t think it''ll take 20 years for that to happens. The rich love him now.

[apprxam]

He should be proud, he''s done exactly what he set out to do. Since he''s been in office:

-Oil/gas has nearly doubled in price.

-Started a war of profit and not security.

-Energy policy for oil, coal and power companies so favorable as to outpace any attempt to convert to renewable and placed in postions to either profit of slow its pace.

-Set the table for banks to acquire more protections from regulations.

Capital gains taxes cut to allow hedge funds to takeover weakened companies.

-Plentiful military contract to be in place before exit from office thanks to the Iraq War, force upgrade will be paramount.

We has no reason to consider himself a economic failure. Since "day one" he and his friends interest have been well in hand.

[gce65]

If his economic record was a success would there even be a need to defend it?
