SP4: well Monkey Boy, get out the yardstickJul 5th, 2009 - 16:01:15

Bush had a low of 4.7% unemployment, record tax receipts, record houseold wealth, freed 50 million from the worst chains of totalitarianism, all while the left undermined the mortgage market(read below..again). Now I will be patient, but the yardstick that measured Bush is coming to Obama and soon. When it is held up, just how do you think he's going to measure up?

Yes monkey boy you have backed a president and his minions who want to strip you of your search and seizure rights, feed corporate welfare on a scale that, compared to Bush has at least 5 more zeros in every figure ($75 bill for Gov't Motors...so far), and state that, if you're anything but black, the government can deal with you in bad faith. He has 5 unreturned serves with Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and is fast becoming the laughing stock of the world, a stinging lesson in the mistake of the libnazi to confuse love with respect. His promise to close gitmo was irresponsible due to his utter misunderstanding of the law.

This is the train you climed on Monkey boy, no surprise, since the concept of you actually having an opinion that is defendable is laughable.

Now run along and think about the yardstick coming. I can't WAIT for a Sara Palin or Joe the Plumber's next speech!
Oh yeah and this:


This was preventable.Sep 21st, 2008 - 01:59:13
John McCain predicted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crises, pushed 2005 legislation to prevent trouble:

The 'FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE REGULATORY REFORM ACT OF 2005' would have headed this off but it was killed in the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs by Chris Dodd who recieved the most money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

President Bush sought to rein in Fannie and Freddie in 2003.

The Democratic response to Bush in 2003:

“These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.

“I don’t see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,” Mr. Watt said.

I would rather see Judah Ben Hur Ambassador to the American Republic run for President in 2012 than former governer Palin..who should go back to being a small time mayor. Her ego is bigger than her daughters breasts!!!

Palin was given a little notoriety, and she ran with it. It went to her head bigtime, and she thinks she can play with the big boys. Well, she's in for a rude awakening.

To be fair, I must point out that Palin and her bunch, though retarded, are probably not any more corrupt than most politicians in the rest of the USA. It's only the isolation of Alaska that has led to her demise.

In any other state, most scandals just don't happen or there would be ten scandals a day. That's because in any other state, you know that if you blow the whistle on A, A will probably bring down B with him, who in turn most likely will bring down C.

C often happens to be someone who could bring YOU down, or one of your cronies, so the whistles remain, for the large part, unblown. That's in the contiguous US.

Not so up Alasky way, though! Palin is the Alpha Barracuda in those waters. There's barely a B and nary a C that might get pissed off at you and bring you down. Blast away!

As those scientologist assholes would say : Palin is 'Fair Game'. THe only game in town.

If Palin tries to run for President, it will be the biggest circus the US has ever seen with her hysterical theatrics and talking in circles without ever saying anything. People will fall for it the same as they did last year - for awhile. If all this nonsense was clothed in a different form - homely and overweight, she would get no where at top speed. Since she isn't, it will just delay her getting to the end a little longer.

she is quitting to finally get an education. Maybe then she can understand how to speak, quit lying, raise children with a real set of values, and pass a third grade grammar test.
