and look who benefited! Remember “never let a crisis go to waste”? Thanks to the person who sent me this.
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was
actually January 3rd 2007, which was the day the Democrats took over
the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the
110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the
first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy
that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this: January 3rd, 2007
was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day…
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House
Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate
Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months
later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL
SERVICES!
Unemployment… to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping
5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in
2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie
Mac? OBAMA. And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.
So when someone tries to blame Bush. REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007….
THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and
the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &
2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused
them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush
entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running
until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a
massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that
very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he
signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the
last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After
that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted
for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since
January 20th.
Yep, lying leftists generate these crises and then use them to implement their evil agendas. Tell me again why I detest the likes of Zero and all the other lying degenerate leftist pieces of human excrement?!!
But still people vote for them, Kris. :rant
Look like the Obamaites are on their way to victory, heaven help us.
It does.
On tenderhooks KG. Florida and Virginia look to go Romney and he is gaining in Ohio. I am really disappointed it is this close. The Dems have been hard at breaking voter laws…posters of ‘The One’ inside voting stations, republican poll watchers forced out, a poll judge wearing an ‘Obama’ hat, Dems offering ‘Obama-phones’ for a vote. I have yet to see anything like this where a Republican is the perpetrator. If Obama does get in again, the USA is totally fu**ed! He will have the UN running the country in two years (if the Islamists don’t get it first).
I also have not seen one threat to riot or loot by a Romney supporter if he loses but the other crowd are in full throated howl.
Looks like four more years for that filth and his cronies, Michael.
I give up. When people can see the damage done, when they can put a disgusting ideology and welfare benefits before the last hope for liberty on earth, then what the hell is the point?
I predicted it would be close, but this result is a huge disappointment.
Test :vomit
Many thanks. Andrei. I owe you a beer or three.
‘Tis how I feel ……
….. especially with the bad news from America
It’s a sad, shameful day, Andrei.
Hope you feel better soon.
This cheers me up – remembering a glorious victory and honoring the heroes who won it that day 400 years ago.
The Poles got their butts kicked that day but don’t tell Lucia
:cheers Good one, Andrei. Can you give us some background?
Damn. It looks like Romney wins the popular vote, but loses the country. Although maybe those Democrats who protested in the streets for Bush’s 2000 electors to be faithless based on the popular vote will come out again?
Fat chance. I hope Romney takes it to the courts, just to make Obama’s mandate murky as it can be.
Fat chance, Moneo.
If Obama’s back, he’s back courtesy of a spineless GOP, the welfare vote and the media. Maybe those three factors are now simply too much to surmount?
America’s screwed. :vomit
An over-militarised, bankrupt welfare honeypot with an empty suit wearing the purple – and the whole bangshoot on life support courtesy of Chinese funding grants.
Politics at state level are now so polarised that my bet is that the fractures are tectonic-deep.
The smart little gnomes in Zurich will be clicking their mice now. Credit downgrade’s a-coming. Great Depression II.
Sick to my stomach.
Me too, Flash. I can’t find the words to express my disgust with those who made this possible.
The most terrifying thing is the US electorate has given ‘O’ permission to hand the country over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Thank God Patsy and I have the choice to NOT visit that desolate country!
Perhaps a secessionist movement or civil resistance will take hold, Michael. I don’t see any hope otherwise.
