"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," President Bush told CNN. He said he made the decision "to make sure the economy doesn't collapse."

That happened a long time ago. Remember when the U.S. put a tax on imported steel just to pander to Pennsylvania? I still do remember. It was very bad for Michigan. So fuck off Bush, you have been a socialist for a long time.

This just in from our Washington "The Sky is Blue" bureau. The "free market" hasn't been free for decades. In other news, we've learned that ice is essentially just frozen water. Now lets go to Jane with the weather...

At a G20 summit last month in Washington, Bush resisted some proposals for global financial regulation and argued free market principles still held true despite the global economic downturn.


Pay attention people, this "global financial regulation" being proposed is the first step toward the now world order.

Just remember, you heard it here first.

now world order = new world order

Ya........ I shot my son between the eys to keep him from killing himself. Is that stupid...... or WHAT!!!

"That happened a long time ago. Remember when the U.S. put a tax on imported steel just to pander to Pennsylvania? I still do remember. It was very bad for Michigan."

Perhaps if a tax had also been placed on foreign cars "dumped" in the US it would have worked out better.
WE are in an economic crisis caused to a great extent by the stagnation of wages and some folks think the answer is to further stagnate wages or even reduce them. Some folks is nuts.

Now lets go to Jane with the weather...

Thanks Bob. The sky is above you right now and the white things are clouds. If the sun is shining, then it is most likely day right now and probably bright. Those black things on the ground following you are called "shadows" and are perfectly normal. Back to you Bob.

So fuck off Bush, you have been a socialist for a long time.

Face it Member, there's never been a "free market" in the US. Corporate welfare has always been alive and well. Start with western expansion and fast forward to Pentagon spending, farm subsidies and tax "incentives" to industry.

The only times there wasn't regulation, there was monopolies and price fixing.

Monopolies and price fixing, like the Fed Res fixing the price of money. Yep, government sponsored/chartered monopolies screwing up the economy.

Bush: 'I've Abandoned Free Market Principles'

Free Market Principles

There's an oxymoron.

Wot a F*ing hypocrite Shrub is!

He was just running all around the world last month chiding world leaders for abandoning free market principles!!

GAWD this IDIOT we have for president is not going to leave quietly...

I'm all for 12-step programs -- they've been lifesavers for close friends and family members. But I wish he'd quit working his in public.

"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system"

LOL!!! What an ultramaroon!

Some other kooky sayings from lesser known world leaders:

"The only thing we have to fear is the only thing we have to fear"

"I Came. I Saw. I Ran away."

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what another country can do for you."

"He who lives by the sword dies by the laser guided smart bomb."

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer to your friends"

"Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake unless you are making a worse one."

"Speak softly and carry a big megaphone".

"If you can't stand the heat, burn down the kitchen."

"To be prepared for peace is one of the most effective means of preserving war."

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget to kill them later on."

"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time-- at least not all of the time."

"So fuck off Bush, you have been a socialist for a long time.

YEAH!
Well then I guess you are Just a Bush Hater(tm)!

Sincerely

You, Last Year

Dems want to socialize everything openly...

Reps what to socialize everything covertly...

It would seem that Anarchy is the only cure to this disease...and they said we wouldn't have the last laugh just wait until Greece happens in the US. Then we will finally be in charge.

ALL HAIL ANARCHY THE ONLY TRUE FREEDOM!!!!

"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,"

I've abandoned the system that fucks the consumer and have decided to fuck all taxpayers instead. Merry fucking christmas!

This asshole was mocked as he became president because he managed to bankrupt a few companies (not before selling his stock of course) but he was able to outshine those successive failures by bankrupting your country in 8 short years. Quite a feat. Probably made a hefty profit too. Actually makes the electorate look dumb: this numbskull fucked over 300 million of you from the first day he took office until his admin. breathes its last putrid breath.

ANARCHY will set you free!

So what?

Five weeks to go. Is there no end to this idiot's idiocy and his capacity to inflict damage? Apparently not.

Bush saying that he has abandoned free-market principles just reminds people that at some time in his life, long before he even became Governor of Texas, he had abandoned all principles.

Bush has obviously abandoned sobriety

Bob's not on vacation this week, he's been fired from the weather bureau for being a Global Warming denier...In other unrelated weather news, it's going to clear off clean, clear, cool and cloudy , then come a dry, drizzling shower mixed with intermitten periods of rain and some sunshine. Now lets go to Freddy for the sports...

"Now lets go to Freddy for the sports..."

We have a partial score from out west:

Cal State 17.






(h/t & rip, George)

What do you think your God Krugman wants to do with inflating the currency?

I'm Really Gonna Miss Systematically Destroying This Place

Just remove the words FREE MARKET from the headline and you'll have the truest statement Dubya's ever uttered.

Bushit has abandoned lots of things, the Free Market being the least of America's worries.

"but only for my friends, ordinary people can eat shit and die as far as Shrub is concerned".

Trillions for criminals in high finance, nothing for the suckers they feed on. Do it quick without discussion. Then when defense critical manufacturing comes begging, debate for weeks on end. Now that's a principal Shrub understands.

Can you imagine how much it galled Shrub's ass when Obama put his hand on Shrub's shoulder, while shaking hands.

Ya........ I shot my son between the eys to keep him from killing himself. Is that stupid...... or WHAT!!!

You voted for the asshat.

Let's just have out with it. The reps have pretty much decided that they don't know what the fuck is going on. First Joe the Plumber sells out McCain, then McCain sells out Paling, and then Newt tells them all to fuck off, and finally Dubya has concluded that he isn't going to pretend anymore!

It's like the repocalypse! Every man for himself and grab what you can on the way out! If Palin thinks she's going to win '12, with this kind of party she's sadly mistaken.

Pretty hard to abandon what you've never had or understood! The man had absolutely no clue the economy was in the toilet and he expects intelligent people to buy this bag of crap. Obermann in his recent rant got it right -- this guy is full of CRAP!

" Obermann in his recent rant got it right"
I suspect Keith is the primary reason that MSNBC can't draw flies for viewers. I can't stand to watch him either, but I can almost guarantee you that he got nothing right about anyone.

He's left wing idiot.

Fox is still the big dog in cable news, but your statement is either naive or ignorant. MSNBC and Olbermann ratings have been consistently growing while Fox and O'Reilly's have remained fairly stagnant, or slipped somewhat.

"Free Markets" are a Myth. A useful myth for developing elementary economic theory, but a myth none the less. We live in a world in which big fish eat little fish and the magic of compound interest routinely exceeds our economic growth. The Capitalistic Free Market Model is unsustainable, which never stops the financial sector from squeezing more and more profits out of our total production until they break it. In the real "Christian and Moslem World" money trumps human needs, the wants of the Rothschilds, Fauds and their likes trump all other considerations, populations rise with productivity keeping workers in a virtual standstill, markets are regulated or they fall apart, choices and opinions are engineered, TV is more cost effective means of control than guns.

It's awesome when people try to blame free market economics for the recent downfall. When did we have a free market? Was there some magical weekend when the government stopped interfering with absolutely everything for a brief shining 48 hours and that's where it all went bad?

Didn't think so..

Also, good luck saving a free market system that never existed George. That will be a real feather in your cap if you can pull that off!

Bush said it in plain English, "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system...". That is impossible. You can not adopt and put into practice socialist and fascist principles and have another outcome. Have the American people become that brainwashed? No amount of Socialism will save FREE markets or the big 3. It is time to restore the rule of law in this country, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Let these time honored companies restructure under the benefit and structure of the law, not the supervision and mandates of socialist bureaucrats, via the "Car Czar". My sympathies to all of the autoworkers, their affiliates, and their families. There will be pain, but from the ashes will rise the best of what these companies have to offer. The coveted assets, technology, products, and most of all, the greatest part of these companies, the people, will prevail. We will survive, after all that is what we do, as long as we remain free, because we are Americans.

In pursuit of liberty,

In a true free market, accidents of birth like Bush would be sweeping floors.

Sully -- good one!

Like Bush has a clue what free market principles are.

"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,"

I'd be thrilled to find someone in office who hasn't.

I've abandoned the system that fucks the consumer and have decided to fuck all taxpayers instead. Merry fucking christmas!

A true free market doesn't screw anybody. It is only when you let the moochers write the rules that a free market becomes a non-free market. It suddenly becomes a place where favor is the norm. A favor to let me do something you have no right to control in the first place. Only the favor involves me paying you somehow.

I don't know why you fucktards have so uch trouble understanding "free market" which we don't have. I guess I think I just answered my own question. You think we have a "free market". WE DON'T!!!

SATAN LAUGHING SPREADS HIS WINGS. OH BUSH, YEAH!
