We should have worried about this elected leader, who led us into this mess with his incessant, psychopathic lies Right up to the R's defeat in November 08 What a true POS this ELECTED OFFICIAL was. As hard as it might be or even possible, imagine how much worse it would be had we let these scum continue. All these shitheads will lie to no end to stay in power. The R's are no better than the D's ----
George W. Bush, October 12, 2006: "I fully understand that energy is going to help determine whether or not this nation remains the economic leader in the world. We're doing fine now. We've got a really strong economy..."
George W. Bush, December 20, 2006: "As we approach the end of 2006, our economy is strong, it's productive and it's prosperous."

George W. Bush, February 6, 2007: "I want to thank you all for giving me a chance to visit with you. First thing that's for sure, this economy is strong. I hope you feel it."
George W. Bush, July 10, 2007: "Let me first talk about our economy. It's - our economy is changing and it's strong. I remember back to - early on in my administration, when we were confronted with some very difficult times. There was a recession, the economy had gotten overheated and it was correcting. Then we got hit by an enemy that killed nearly 3,000 of our citizens, which such an attack obviously would have an effect on the economy. Then there were some corporate scandals that had a psychological effect on our economy. People were beginning to worry about the system where people were not upholding the law, taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of shareholders. And yet, we acted and cut taxes - and cut them hard - (applause) - because one of the philosophical drivers of this administration is, is that if you have more money in your pocket to spend, save, or invest, the economy is more likely to grow. ... I'm not trying to elicit applause - thank you, but - (laughter) - and our plan has worked."
George W. Bush, July 26, 2007: "Real wages are going up; inflation is relatively stable. In other words, this economy is strong."
George W. Bush, August 27, 2007: "Cutting taxes has created a strong economy. We've created 8.3 million new jobs since August of 2003. Unemployment rates are down. People are working, inflation is low, interest rates are low, people are owning homes. This economy is strong."
George W. Bush, October 5, 2007: "I want to thank members of my economic team for coming in the Oval Office this morning to bring some good news here for America's families and America's working people. The - last month our economy added 110,000 new jobs. And that's good news for people here in our country. It's an indicator that this economy is a vibrant and strong economy."
George W. Bush, January 4, 2008: "This economy is on a solid foundation ... While there is some uncertainty, the report is that our financial markets are strong and solid."
New York Times, January 18, 2008: "While the chairman of the Federal Reserve told Congress on Thursday that a recession can be averted, Wall Street sent Washington a different message: it's already here. The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 306 points, capping a 14.2 percent slide from its all-time high in October. After 12 days of trading, the broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is off to its worst January on record. And the Russell 2000 index, which tracks small companies, sank into a bear market."
CNN, January 18, 2008: "President Bush proposed a series of short-term tax cuts Friday that he said would provide a boost for the struggling U.S. economy."
So let me get this straight... Our Great Leader says the same thing over and over again, and then it turns out that the complete opposite is true. Color me surprised! |
