And if Bush was currently being very visible and implementing even more drastic measures to help the economy, does anyone actually believe that Madden wouldn't be writing an article exactly opposite of this one lambasting Bush for NOT being a lame duck? Madden, you are laughable.
True, Barack Obama has not done much yet, and can not do much yet.
One has to agree with a number of the above escapees from Newsmax.
I do object, however, to those who tsk-tsk about anyone who does not honor Our President of the Last Eight Years, who does not want to be gracious to this shrewd incompetent! With his merry band of robber barons, George W. Bush, has ruined America in the eyes of the World, violated the Constitution in truly unspeakable ways, and the damage he has done to us will plague us, not for the next 50-odd days, but for several decades to come.
As Al Jolson sang in 1927: "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
The finest painter of all time couldn't produce a better image of This Nation's Two Presidents than this morning's two occurrences, Obama's press conference on the economic future of an entire country, followed mere moments later by Bush's press conference on the edible future of two turkeys named Pumpkin and Pecan.
I don't think the DOW agrees with you.
Uh, excuse me, Congress has been controlled by Democrats during the stock market crash. Bush was done over two years ago when democrats got the power in Congress. He was a lame duck over two years ago. Democrats got accomplished what they wanted, a decline in the economy ensuring their candidate would win, at the expense of peoples jobs and pensions. Now they can step in and take care of you demwits. Now you're setting it up for Bush to take the blame for years to come.
How about naming one thing the democratic Congress has done in the last two years to help the economy, other than to intentionally put us where we are.
If I thought it wasn't the case, all I have to do is read more of this garbage bashing Bush and then I get it. Journalism is dead and buried. The MSM elected a president that in my opinion is reminiscent of the election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The mere fact that you are trying to elude that he take over as prez before inauguration is an abomination to our constitution and shows immense journalism bias. Also, the MSM is doing it's best to keep the Berg lawsuit in the closet... If indeed there is a cover up there, not only is journalism dead, but so is our constitution...
I hope you "so called" journalists are happy to what you've done to our country.
"public schools offer free remedial training". Oh yeah, now there's a solution. "Public" education, otherwise known as government training compounds. If that is where you got yours, that would answer a few questions.
is STILL President for another 55 days!
:-)
CHEERS!
"One thing I have noticed, without exception, is the need of those who don't seem very happy with the incoming administration, to use foul language and hate speech. Why is that necessary?"
Easily impressed and led by their noses they have taken a lead from one of their spokes-gits - Joe Scarborough.
If I recall correctly, the 110th Congress was sworn in Jan 2007, so they'd been sitting for about a year and a half and in session for even less before the market crashed.
And Bush was(is) still president, meaning whatever the Dems negotiated and passed without Republican stonewalling or filibuster had to be signed by him.
How likely did you think that was, in a year?
For your reading pleasure: the 109th Congress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/109th_Congress
One line caught my eye in the article. "Bush should just quit"
Problem with that is, Obama could not "just take over"
Dick Cheney would take over and his first official act would be
to suspend the Constitution.
I thought the Constitution had already been suspended.
Thanks to you people.
Of course they are as they've NEVER seen a real president, that is one who speaks, acts, and thinks like the LEADER of the free world. Why do you think the entire planet rejoiced when it was announced Barack would be our 44th president? Can you imagine where we'd be if Bush had two years or so left? I don't even want to think about that nightmare. "lets cut taxes lets cut taxes lets cut taxes" Sorry GOP but cutting taxes is not the answer to everything. Unless, of course, you're wealthy.
I'm cutting out the personal insults from the comments I'm quoting...
@hawkpsd:
"Clinton did nothing of any import his last 4 months. And so on. Don't you remember ?"
Perhaps you don't notice the huge difference here - which is that today the economy is collapsing and everbody's panicking.
@billh:
"And if Bush was currently being very visible and implementing even more drastic measures to help the economy, does anyone actually believe that Madden wouldn't be writing an article exactly opposite of this one lambasting Bush for NOT being a lame duck?"
Bill. Read what you are writing. You're willing to insult a perfect stranger for the article they MIGHT have written in a different world with a more competent President.
When it comes down to it, both of you are implying that the President is right to do nothing and to be absent from the American people in their hour of need. Is this what you actually mean.
Do you remember that Bush vanished for six hours after the 9/11 attacks and it was left to the odious Giuliani to address a terrified nation? Do you remember how Bush also failed to act in the *five days* before Katrina when all the news media were screaming about the risk?
He's never been willing to act before, why should he start now?!
I think the world was rejoicing for a completely different reason than why you were rejoicing :)
Why do you think Hugo Chavez is so happy?? Why is Ahmadinejad?
Scary stuff, if you think about the real reason they are so happy. We will all find out in time... I hope he proves me wrong, but both those idiots don't.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
