AS HE LEAVES BANKRUPTING OUR COUNTRY WITH 700 BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT OF HIS MILLIONAIRE CORPORATE BUDDIES AND OIL BARRONS!
GET HIM OUT,OUT,OUT!
"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject," Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for "challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again."

Next time you hear McCain and the Republicans say government should not regulate Big Business, hit them in the mouth. The greed of the filthy rich caught up with them, and now they want the victims of their greed to cover their losses. And Bush wants to borrow the money to pay the losses with your signature on the loan. Add billions more in interest to the $700 billion bailout, and prepare to shine the shoes of the Chinese.

Is this any way to run a business?

I guess so, if you are Dubya...

It also would raise the statutory limit on the national debt from $10.6 trillion to $11.3 trillion - making room for the massive rescue.

Anyone that thinks there will not be a hike in taxes and fees for everyone, regardless of which candidate wins, is seriously delusional.

"This is a big package because it was a big problem."

Bush is one of the neocons who posited that "Free markets" were the way to go, then skewered that with "trickle down" placing money where it wasn''t earned, thus distorting the "free market", then encouraged corruption with advocacy of deregulation, then insisted the economy was strong despite the decimation of the middle class which was the logical result of such policies, then ignored the facts as the data showed a growing problem.

It is indeed a big problem one of the neocon''s own making. Now they ask us to bail them out, so they can continue with the same BS policies that got us to this point.

Start the war crimes and treason trials.
