That hits the nail on the head.<br /><br />YES, Bush had a lot to do with the economy during his time, BUT - the Democrats were in bed with Fannie and Freddie. The Demos controlled Congress for TWO YEARS before Obama took office, and he voted for a bunch of stuff he is now blaming on Bush! (This must be why I keep finding myself calling him "Obushma" all day today.)<br /><br />It's just ridiculous. I disliked Bush intensely, but it just defies any logic that people forget the Dems were in control - Bush couldn't do ANYTHING without them for those two years.<br /><br />This is what happens when people care more abt what happened last week on "So You Think You Can Dance" than what Obama was doing before he took the White House. Really, really sad...<br /><br />Great comment - thanks!

After much pushing by him, I finally got him to understand that like other small retailers in the area, the one I work at is barely hanging on and sadly, we just can't this year. He then said, "Yeah, eight years of Bush really screwed up the economy."<br /><br />I just couldn't let it pass. I told him that, while I had no love for Bush at all, we now had a new President who needed to do more than throw money at his wealthy Wall Street and Banking friends.<br /><br />There was a moment of silence, and then the gentleman I was talking to simply said that these were hard times for everyone.<br /><br />Yep, Bush is the Blame Czar, and the kool-ade is still flowing here in the City by the Bay. And folks are still drinking it.<br /><br />Sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-39776771415965216922009-11-03T17:43:13.589-05:002009-11-03T17:43:13.589-05:00Nazareth Priest -

The point seemed to be far less one of "artistic expression" and far more your take on it (and no worries abt the language, friend. I swear, when I was in seminary, I think we all thought we had to get all of the cuss words out of our systems. I think what ended up happening is that many of us got into a "bad habit!" Ahahahaha! :-) ). <br /><br />But you said it best.<br /><br />And you are absolutely right - had it been any other religious or iconic figure, there would have been a whole lot of outrage. <br /><br />Huh.

The DJ asked where Obama was GETTING this money, and she said from his "stash." I kid you not. <br /><br />But here's the thing - she is not the first person I have heard who thinks Obama is literally going to give her money (or pay her mortgage as another woman said, or even buy her gas as yet another woman said). SOMEONE is telling these people this. Someone made these promises to these people to get their VOTE.<br /><br />So, yeah - it will be mighty interesting to see what happens when they realize they have been had...Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-39788404839522432242009-11-03T16:55:30.292-05:002009-11-03T16:55:30.292-05:00Rev.

Alleluia!<br />That Larry David thing was just disgusting and a really sophomoric as well as blasphemous piece of s***!Pardon my French.<br />If he had a picture of Mohammad or Martin Luther King, Jr. to "piss" on he would be dead meat. Dead meat.<br />Why, oh why, cannot this 'Present Resident of the White House' take responsibility for being the leader of our nation??<br />Stop the "blame game" and get to work.<br />Oh, yeah, I forgot.<br />"We" are beyond reproach.<br />Uh, huh.Fr.
