It is all Bush's fault !

[Sidney]

Wall Street Plunges on Economic Fears; Dow Sinks More Than 500 Points; S&P, Nasdaq Down 4%; VIX Soars 30%- Reuters Wall Street plunged on the worst one-day drop since December 2008. Stock investors face a number of worries. Congress and the administration must resume their debates over spending cuts to avoid a possible credit downgrade. Evidence of economic weakness has recently increased, raising fear of a return to a recession. A spreading debt crisis in Europe has also threatened to hit the global economy.... » read more

Man, you are asking for it with the title of this thread. I can definitely predict this will not turn out well.

[Kevy]

Obama isn't getting all the grey hair for nothing. And really it is the action of both of them and the ones before that led to this.

[Antonio]

where is Bush these days anyway?

its not going so good in europe right now eather with the euro...
luckely sweden still have the krone thou.

The monetary gimmicks by the fed via QE2 was just pushing on a string. The economy need directed jobs programs. Now the European debt and banking crisis is set to break out and there is no more flexibility left to the FED. Europe will have to solve its own problems this time and the are inept idiots. I am looking for riots in the street in Italy over the next two - three months.

Many banks in Europe lost 20% in their stock price recently. World financial institutions are avoiding new debt in Europe...liquidity is drying up and a financial crisis is emerging over the next few days...possibly... We are way way beyond blaming Bush or any one else...

[el toro]

It's a never ending cycle of blame.

Those that don't like Obama will blame Clinton for handing Bush a mess. Those that don't like Bush, blame the first Bush for handing Clinton a mess and so on down the line.

That's as political as I'm going to get on here.

And in Switzerland, where I'm from and where I'm at right now, we have the Swiss Francs which has reached a record high over ALL THE OTHER CURRENCIES

FOR REAL

[deep2001]

Yeah, and Switzerland is a socialist country, where people and corporations pay three times the taxes we do to finance programs that benefit their middle and lower class citizens.

I know I won't even need to reply with what you just said

Glad you got the joke!

[deep2001]

Yeah, it's gonna get ugly! It's probably a good idea NOT to mix mongering and politics!

Not really.

Clinton left the country in pretty good shape as I recall.

George W. Bush, OTOH, phucked us in the ass. And we'll be digging out of the hole he left us for a long time to come...

[FritoBandito]

I HATED Bush! In my opinion, the worst president ever. Bush and his cronies is one of the main reasons this country is in the shithole it is today. But the beginning of the start of the fall was Ronald "Bonzo" Reagan........

First of all, Sidney was being facetious.

Secondly, you guys can repeat the word Bush all you want but unless you look at the real numbers from the last two and a half years you're just kidding yourself. The debt and entitilments that he has pushed thru are staggering.

Businesses are afraid to invest, hire and expand. Taxing people who own private jets is not going to get the economy moving. That's a f'n joke.

"If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plan, then can. It's just that it will bankrupt them" and electricity rates will "necessarily skyrocket"
Barack H. Obama - 2008

We can't drill in Alaska or the Gulf because he's worried about harming precious Mother Earth, but he just loaned 2 billion of our fucking money to a Brasilian company to drill off shore in South America. Oil that we will buy. Please tell me how that makes sense to you.

Billions in stimulis (your tax dollars) to "shovel ready jobs" but when the moneys gone and unemployment hits 9% he jokes & laughs about the lack of "shovel ready jobs"?

Wake the fuck up people.
