well at the end of the day, if the president wants a bill passed it goes through alot of people... but it's always easier to blame one person than many for a mistake

The "savings and loan" thing was in the 80's and early 90's. I doubt Obama had all that much to do with it.

George Bush has been in office for 7-1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2-1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%;
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000+;
5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure;
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ...
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE--ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

We the people need to take a portion of the blame for this. This country has thier collective head in the sand. I hope we wake up and it's not tooo late. We need to kick the ******** out of office and run this country the way it should be run.

McCain has plenty. Hell, it was recently in the news that McCain was part of a group that helped fund the Nicaraguan contras (I posted a link here earlier). They acted as a front while Gen. North sold weapons to our buddies in Iran in order for fund rebels in Nicaragua after congress said no.
The "savings and loan" thing was in the 80's and early 90's. I doubt Obama had all that much to do with it.

i am not going to sit here and argue with you when you know and i know that Obama has more ties to bad people then McCain does. That is pretty well known. Obama did not have much to do with the savings and loam thing? http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/...tributions.php
The savings and loan crisis (as it is known) happened in the 80's through the early 90's. As Bush Republicans (and I differentiate between Bush Republicans and Conservative Republicans because you guys embarrass the actual conservatives in the party) frequently point out, Obama hasn't been in high-level politics for very long, let alone 18-28 years ago. I'll go a step further: Obama had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the savings and loan crisis. I know you get all your information from Bushie-Blogs, but it wouldn't kill you to do some outside reading.

I know people like you don't bother to read information when it is put in front of you by people you're sure you disagree with. I'll just say it again and again until you get it.
