Welcome to the Obama Economy(?)
Yeah, the one he inherited from Bush. The only thing that makes me thinks bad about Obama is that he wasn't smart enough to say "no thanks" to the job.

The "it isn't my fault, I inherited it" excuse is wearing thin. Obama has spent more money in this first few months than Bush spent in years.
That is simply a fact.

It's Bush and the Republicans' fault. End of story. Spinning it won't alter reality. Deregulation failed.
Bill, once and for all, Obama didn't inherit anything from Bush!!! He inherited it from the Democratic Congress that was in control for the last two years of Bush's administration! The House approves appropriations and taxes, NOT the President. He inherited it from Nancy Pelosi!!! Get over it. Now they want us to read Miranda rights to terrorists captured in Iraq and Afghanistan! Would McCain have allowed that????? What has happened to all the Americans?????

I hate to burst your bubble, but the banking deregulation began under Clinton in 1999. He has admitted that himself. No spin required.

Good one, Voyager. I missed that. These left wing idiots just don't get it. They can't see the 'Change' happening right before their eyes. We're getting CHANGE, alright! From Democracy to Socialism to Anarchy to Rebellion to chaos.

Funny you'd provide that link which mentions the congressional Republicans' hand in banking deregulation.
But I was talking about business deregulation in general, because it isn't just banks that are failing. You've heard about the auto industry, yes?
I hate to burst your bubble but deregulation began in earnest under Reagan. It was a Milton Freedman nutjob fantasy and it doesn't work. Freedman believed the market place is a natural force like wind, air, and fire and Reagan and you Republicans are too stupid to realize how stupid that sounds.
You guys are so pathetic in your desperate attempts to pin this crisis on liberals. It's a relief nobody takes you boneheads seriously anymore.

It is a natureal force. In a weather sense this is just an example of why we build houses instead of living in a tent. In a financial sense the other shoe has to fall and all the smug folks who want cheap imports and no stinking factory jobs are going to find out where the money ultimately comes from to pay their salaries. That part of the cycle is what is hitting now. I'm waiting for either California or New York to go bankrup next.
BTW, if you want to point a finger use the mirror. Both sides of the aisle are complicit in the mess.
Something fair and balanced like Fox with Beck, Hannity and O'Really!?!?631grant said:Same comment to you Miles!!! Wake up and watch something besides your left wing TV stations and maybe, just maybe, you'll recognize the truth.............

After asking Sara Palin?
'In a minute John dear, I'm busy choosing another outfit to wear'.
I didn't say 'fair and balanced' but I said the other SIDE OF THE STORY. How can you make an intelligent (oops, I forgot this is a newsgroup and intelligence is not a prerequisite) decision if you just listen to one side of the story. AND what makes you think listening to CNBC is 'fair and balanced???' Tune in and learn what is REALLY happening unless you can't get your head out of the sand or some other dark place.
One more moron Democrat who can't see what's happening. I hope Obama crowns a Moron Czar to get them all off the street. I just can't believe you Dems can't see what's happening! Instead, you keep looking back and trying to find someone to blame rather than opening your eyes and seeing where we hare headed. Stupid stupid stupid.
When did they deregulate the auto industry???? Chrysler and GM failed because they had Union labor getting paid way too much for what they did, they had cars that no one wanted at $4 a gallon for gas, their executives only cared about their bonuses, which is common today. They had no clue as to what the public really wanted in this economy. Rick Wagoneer (sp??) of GM gets on the podium and says the "new" GM would give the people World Class cars like the Cadillac CTS, the Escalade, SUV's, and pickup trucks. In an era of no credit, no money, rising gas prices, this idiot puts the future on gas guzzling cars that no one can afford to buy or run. He is just as stupid as you, Miles, since you are calling 'us' stupid.
Thanks 631 - I think I missed where you said "the other SIDE OF THE STORY." Could you please tell me where that quote is? What you did say was that if you "watch something besides your left wing TV stations...you'll recognize the truth." I think that this infers that the truth will be found on some other station and, having listened to enough of FOX to know that all stations other than FOX are "left wing" I just assumed that you meant FOX. Was there another station you were referring to? AND although FOX declares itself to be fair and balanced I'm unaware that CNBC (where/who brought that up?) also claims that. I always thought CNBC was a business channel. Oh wait, I'll bet you meant MSNBC, didn't you?
When my daughter was six and she would run out of logic she would say "shut up stupid". Is that the equivalent of "get your head out of the sand or some other dark place"? You really do know how to elevate a discussion.

Even though I am still registered Republican, I don't think either party gets it nor has for some time now. I'm very close to voting for a 3rd or 4th party next time around. I wasn't happy with ANY of the candidates fielded this last election.

I never said that the Republicans didn't play a role. I simply was point out the error in your statement.
But I was talking about business deregulation in general, because it isn't just banks that are failing. You've heard about the auto industry, yes?

So now it is Reagan rather than Bush. When will you find a lie that you like and will stick with?
You guys are so pathetic in your desperate attempts to pin this crisis on liberals. It's a relief nobody takes you boneheads seriously anymore.
I made no such attempt.
