President Bush conned the entire US public not only into bailouts for his rich banking friends, but also bailouts for his oil consuming auto friends, and his corrupt military contractor friends....

All at the expense of YOU!!!

Hey Danny, while you're passing out the Sleeze Awards, how about a few for all your Dem pals in Congress? You know, the ones that grant themselves salary increases on a whim, and a premium health plan for themselves, while rationing for the rest of us.

I found a fantastic document about one persons banking journey called My Banking Experience.

http://www.scribd.com/explore/Research/Busine...

Scribd is a great source of information that isn't in the news, especially in the research sections and stuff like this should be investigated before these bankers are allowed to pocket one red cent.

Clinton to Bush:

1. Pax Clintonia
2. Full employment
3. Robust economy
4. On track to pay off national debt in a decade...you know like NEXT YEAR.
5. WTC bombers in jail.

Bush to Obama:

1.$3Trillion in wars
2. Fasting rising unemployment in 25 years.
3. Second Bush Recession. Worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
4. Doubled national debt...instead of paying it off in 2010 we are looking at $12 TRILLION in national debt.
5. OBL still running around.

Those are simply the facts ma'am.

Perfect example of a mindless Leftist robot who refuses to see the hypocritical failings of his leaders.

Like a good proletariat, he blames AIG employees on cue, and blames Conservatives on cue, but never blames the REAL culprit - his Obama-ssiah and the Democrats in Congress.

NEWSFLASH: Goldman Sachs, Citibank and the Federal Reserve run the Washington. One look at how many people from those organizations are in the Obama administration would show you that.

Bush was not alone in causing this crash. Here in the Republic of Ireland we bought into the neoliberal free market policies propagated by our own governent and now like you in America we are in a massive ressession. What we have had for the last years was incopetent government. Government is useful but only if intelligent people are running it and it can communicate its message and not pandy to lobbyists,

The follwing should humble the arrogant self-righteous Leftists who spew their hate all over Topix, but that would take some intelligence. Instead, they just avoid this forum and go to the Wall Street Bonuses forums, where they mindlessly blame non-Liberals for the failings of Obama and the Democrats.

5th paragraph...

"ALL BUT ONE ARE DEMOCRATS"

"Among the 44 people arrested were the mayors of Hoboken, Ridgefield and Secaucus, Jersey City's deputy mayor, and two state assemblymen. A member of the governor's cabinet resigned after agents searched his home, though he was not arrested. All but one of the officeholders are Democrats.

Also, five rabbis from New York and New Jersey — two of whom lead congregations in Deal — were accused of laundering millions of dollars, some of it from the sale of counterfeit goods and bankruptcy fraud, authorities said."

When you think of a guy with a crooked stick trying to hit a Lil ball into a hole on manicured grass making multi millions...or a Guy in a kids game throwing another Lil ball for stricks...and making Multi millions...or a big bruiser linebacker's .doing violence ..making multi millions..or a some ugly SOB,with baggy pants screaming undecipherable words on stage..making multi millions....you come to the conclusion who really are the overpaid pigs?...where's the out rage with these non business wages??
Almost all of the Congress are made up of millionars...some many multi millionaires.

This whole category has nothing to do with us...Unless most are like senseless cows and bulls who will attack,get bent out of shape ,when a politician waves the Red Rag of class warfare around...the oldest game practiced by politicans...."Don't blame Me ..Its the Other guy"

So if all feel good chasing that red Rag of class warfare...Well your a jerk,a Meathead manuliped by Power Hungry crooks.

Get real.....Every thing is relitive..got rich Relatives? then you too can be an over compensated person...who is now required to give your cash to those who have not...fat chance...
hit the lottery..and stand on a corner giving out ten dollar bills to the Have nots..LOL!!

Meanwhile The Kennedy's,the Rockefeller's,the Pelosies,the Feinstiens, the Bushes,the Bidens,the Chennys, The Bloombergs,The Kerry's and others got more Millions each than you got ,or can ever dream off!No spreading of the cash here..its very old money,and they are attached to it..Ya Know!!.....the Joke is on us!...thats for sure...
