MJ, Here's a REALLY GOOD history lesson..Jan 3rd, 2007 The day the democrats took over was not Jan 22nd 2009, it
was actually January 3rd 2007, that's the day the Democrats took over
the House of Representatives and the Senate...the start of the 110th
Congress.
The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers
for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995. For
those who are listening to the liberals, propagating the fallacy that
everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
At the time:
1. The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
2. The GDP for the previous
quarter was 3.5%
3. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
4. George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember the day:
1. January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank
took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took
over the Senate Banking Committee.
2. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
3. Thank Congress for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5
GDP and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by dumping 5-6 TRILLION
Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac fiasco's!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie &
Freddie - starting in 2001, because it was financially risky for the
U.S. economy...but, no one would listen!!!).
And, who was it who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA.
And, who fought against reforming Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and his Democratic Congress.. So when someone tries to blame Bush... REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Bush may have been in the driver's seat, but the Democrats had their feet firmly
planted on the gas pedal and, they were in complete control of the
direction in which our Nation was being directed. So, let's set the
record straight on Mr. George W. Bush! In the coming weeks, as you
listen to all the commercials and media from the Democrats who are now
distancing themselves from their voting record and their party, remember
how they wouldn't listen to you when you said you didn't want all the
bailouts...you didn't want the health care bill...you didn't want "cap
and trade"...you didn't want them to continue spending money that we
don't have. Do not forget their complicity in getting us into this mess,
and mark your conscience and yourVote accordingly! "It's not that
liberals aren't smart, it's just that so much of what they know isn't
so"
