You bitch when Bush speaks up concerning his feelings on the curent events in the US AND the world while speaking!
Your President bitches about Bush incessantly, blaming him for everything down to a hang-nail and nothing is said!
Obama says 'Bush left ME with a $1.3 Trillion deficit!'
Let's see, $1.3 T, minus the $700 Billion TARP LOAN to Banks, Car Companies, and Insurance Agencies.
Deduct the $14 - 17 Billion gift to Chrysler from Obama.
Add back in interest paid at the rate of 3.5% (of gross) for the first three years AND 8.5% there-after.
Comes to something around $535 Billion deficit! This is well within the 3% of GDP threshhold!
Remember The current Treasury Secretary Geithner WAS directly involved with PAULSON and Bernanke in attempting to resolve these problems. That is PRECISELY why he was selected. He had current (?) knowledge!
This is NOT Bush's fault nor Obama's, YET! CONGRESS!
Not to pass, or even consider, proposed legislation, prepared to identify AND resolve large segments of the financial situation, amounts to irresponsibility or POLITICS at an extremely partisan level!
To prepare Partisan legislation, in the face of this Crisis, is utterly Stupid! We are preparing to drive the road to Perdition, all over again!
There was NO concern for the American people, and extended, the world, as this Crisis unfolded! Need to regain the spotlight!
I am NOT talking about the Executive Branch!
