Personally

Posted By George Andrew

I don’t care who is running the country. What I do care about is how it is being run. And the way Bush was running the country; we were all headed to hell in a hand basket.

The rule of law under Bush, like most republicans, was deregulation and under-funding. By deregulating and under-funding things like the FDA, EPA and the OCHA, cracks appear. Cracks that allow Peanut Corporation of America to get away with stuff like the Salmonella outbreak at their facility. I’ll also through in the jalapeño/tomato problem we had a couple of years ago. Can you say coal slag disaster? And Bush would never sign any legislation around problems that pertained to the steel industries. And people getting hurt from working there. By under funding branches of government that have oversight, these kinds of things happen.

I’m sorry to say you just can’t expect businesses to oversee themselves. They will cut corners when ever possible even at the expense of human life.

Don't get me started about Bush and global warming.

And another thing Bush also would never sign the legislation regarding equal pay for equal work. Also known as the Lily Ledbetter law. This was the first piece of legislation that Obama signed when he got in.

There’s a new sheriff in town.

Out of touch with reality.

The republicans need a good slap. The country, as I see it, has voted for a democratic president that was given a mandate to change things. The republicans keep sticking their 2 cents in whether we want to hear it or not. Their platform is so far right now its unbelievable. I don’t know how much further right they can go, as they’re on the edge now. Maybe some of them will start to fall off, Limbaugh and Hannity first I hope. Even Pat Robertson said Limbaugh was silly for hoping Obama failed as president.

Re: Be careful out there

Go into a movie theater and yell fire, then claim the first amendment.Freedom of speech has its limits Jim. Some people need to be reminded about it from time to time.

Now that Obama is President, we must all be very careful about what we say and the signs that we post. With Obama as President, it is throw away the first amendment and ask questions later.

Where can I find one of these signs? I am considering looking up the target of the Obama attacks to see if he needs any help with legal fees if he decides to go after the jack boot thugs of the Obama regime.

As the Obama Socialist Revolution continues some who are the target of the lefties are starting to revolt. Isn't it great?

The socialists are doing their best, but there are many who will resist until Obama and his socialist policies are thoroughly defeated. Obama's socialist and liberal policies are not in the best interest of this country. Let us hope that these policies are completely discredited and fail miserably. As the nonpartisan CBO said, Obama's plans will do more harm than doing nothing.

So who is to blame for this mess.

Posted By George Andrew

I think Bill Clinton is to blame for part of the housing problem, but not all of it. I think Bush is to blame for not helping to fix it when he had the chance. People that got into houses that they should have not been qualified for are also to blame. But the people that let their loans go through get some blame to. So I spread the blame around.

All politicians, generally, have no ethics.
