What happened to the unemployment rate after 8 years of Bush? What happened to the financial institutions after 8 years of Bush's administration management? How has the SEC done under the Bush leadership. Is America better off today than we were 8 years ago?
Ummm Duh. I was just pointing out a small fact that a lot of people on the left and right forget about (People usually only bring up the bay of pigs invasion when it comes to JFK)
The markets began to crash a few months after Pelosi and Harry Reid took over Congress, which has more real power than the President. The markets rose throughout most of the Bush administration, nobody was complaining in late 2006.
I am SOOOOOO going to tune in to watch Cramer vs. Stewart, or as I will refer to it, "Dumb vs. Dumber." I am already praying and hoping that their meeting escalates into fight that culminates in a bloodbath with both of them dead on the floor at the end. Ahhhhhh, what a wonderful world that would be. Every day I am reminded that I watch CNBC all day when Cramer comes on and I scramble for the OFF button, he is a jackass that deserves everything his fellow jackass Stewart is throwing at him.
Okay, no one takes Cramer or CNBC seriously. If you do, then you're an idiot. It's bad jokes, a little soft porn and a lot of people talking their books. But, I don't watch much TV. Honestly. Who is the Joe Scarborough asshole on this video? And who is that absolutely mute, fake woman sitting next to him. And -- and this really killed -- did I spy, for a split-second, the master-fabricator, the white Jayson Blair, Mike Barnacle! Sitting on this panel! Wow, what a rogue's gallery!
Exactly. What the leftists did was pass the Community Reinvestment Act, which mandated, amongst other things, higher percentages of home ownership, higher percentages of ownership in certain areas, even if the qualifications of the borrower were questionable. No one required the hedge funds to overleverage these loans, as you said. But let's not give the "leftists" a free pass here. Without them, the qualifications of some of these borrowers would have never sunk to the level that they did. OldTrader
Thanks for outlining the most extreme spending habits of the Republicans. How come Democrats starts wars, yet budget deficits only soar when republicans are in office? Looks like the republicans are the ones maxed on credit while the democrats are living within their means. Don't bailout the republicans!
Fox News doesn't get nominated for anything because they support idiots like Karl Rove who come on their station and make absurd claims, like how the Obama Administration is assuming 5-6% GDP growth for 2010 . . . And instead of questioning such erroneous claims, Fox News just laps it all up. Get real people.
