A Prayer for Obama

[Bartruff1]

You have got your antiseptic shorts all in a bunch !!! I don't have time for this crap...but here are a couple facts for you...During the Clinton Administration there was not only peace and prosperity...there was a BUDGET SURPLUS...welfare reform...full employment...no inflation....Strong Dollar...etc... Bush was a empty suit, if you can give him credit for not interning all the Arabs or Muslims in America, give Bill some credit for taking care of the interns.... I think it is telling that not a single member of the Bush Adminstration has written a book that defends him....not even the freaking (kill everyone) NeoCons and I suspect Cheney's book will not help his cause. At least his loony tunes idea of turning the SS account over to Wall Street got laughted off the stage, thank god....well, anyway, in closing, I thought Clinton was the greatest political mind of the last 50 years but he got beat by a skinny black kid with no experience and a very strange name off the streets of the intercity....the ONE we have been waiting for....and some people just can't deal with it...bye...

Clinton..."peace?"

Somolia, lack of response to WTC I, etc. Yeah, I guess if you do nothing or run, you can call that "peace."

Let us not forget that if it is mandatory (under threat of persecution from Janet Reno) that the banks make subprime loans to allow the American Dream for ALL.... the short fix would result in a building boom. The economy was peaches and cream until the sh$$ hit the fan and bankrupted the world.


Funny how the next guy gets caught holding the bag. :

BO may have inherited this economic problem but has ingeniously used it to advance his agenda.... At the same time doubling the crisis situation.

He has 3 more years to prove me wrong...and I hope to God I am.

Clinton WITH a Republican Congress did do a good job financially. But there was NO SURPLUS.

99 to 2000, almost even, but never a surplus. A common but erroneous claim OFTEN made by liberals. Compared to GWB or BHO, Clinton's numbers are terrific. Why tarnish them with false claims?
