TRUE or FALSE: Wall Street shysters and bankers who caused the mess get trillions upon trillions of our tax dollars, no questions asked, in bailout from US Treasury and US Fed Reserve, while the powerful Jewish Israeli lobbyist AIPAC fought gallantly and aggressively to protect the interests of everyday average Americans.

False the subprime crisis was caused by the Carter then Clinton administration in 1995 forcing banks to lend money to dead beats, with bad credit who lied about their non existant salaries to get a home they knew the couldn''t afford and would not be able to pay for.

Small Businesses employ over 75% of Americans. Where is their bailout? The huge corporations, banks, and failed industries are getting breaks so they can pay their CEOs and other executives their $MILLION BONUSES for doing such a fine job.

Small Business is the backbone of America -- not AIG, GM, Citicorp, etc. It''s the small stores, shops and factories that still build things and employ most Americans that deserve the bail out. They won''t see it though because Democrats don''t care about them. You see, small businesses don''t line democrats pockets with cash.

I guess it is fitting that Obama gets to repair the damage caused by Carter and Clinton.

But, where is all this money going to come from?!? Last report was $7.5 TRILLION. That''s only $25,000 for every man, woman, child in America.

I''m sure all those wealthy people will be happy to pay your part and, while their at it, give you a bunch of tax breaks, money and more in the process.

Tell me again about all this change we''re getting?

WHERE IS TOUGH-TALKING BUSH & CHENEY?

Oh, I know, now that the economy has turned sour and in the worst shape since the Great Depression, the dynamic duo is trying to make a "CUT & RUN" strategy.

Even if Bush never caused any of these national disasters, he is still accountable to the people to fix the problem, or to come up with solutions. Apparently Bush never heard the phrase . . . "The buck stops here".

BUSH IS COLLECTING A "COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF PAYCHECK" WHILE AWOL.

Congress has gone too far, their next mistake is to ignore the middle class any longer .The more foreclosures, job losses,and losses the middle class takes brings us closer to a showdown.when the masses march on Washington they had better take heed and listen to the peoples needs and not call martial law to quell them, it would be the first action of a revolution if they do.
