>>> 182 bilion to AIG no questions asked by bush.

It wasn't "no questions asked".

I saw Chris Matthews interview a NYT reporter who has written a book on the subject. While he was a liberal, he pointed out that HISTORY will treat Bush well on his actions to save the economy.

This is the clearly the case. Bush's actions, which I opposed, turned out to be what kept the economy from becoming a much more serious problem than what we've ended up with.

Contrary to popular belief, Obama stumbled ass backwards into good luck on the economy. He can blame Bush for it from now on, yet in reality, Bush solved the problem before Obama ever set foot in the WH.

Can't get luckier than that.

Koan, > Were you yelling when bush doubled the deficit?

Not yelling, but extremely disappointed that he did.

All you're trying to do is avoid having to defend Obama's tripling of the deficit. "It's OK because conservatives didn't yell with Bush doubled the deficit."

Except that conservatives did, and even if they didn't, it's not OK for Obama to go even further.

You always assume someone who is critical of O was suportive of Bush. That is a fiction of you imagination.
