…in his own words.

Brian Williams, pretending to be appalled by AZ Governor Jan Brewer’s audacity to stick her finger in President Obama’s face comically asks, “Who have you ever seen talking to the President like this?”.

To which the reply is simply… “Well, YOU, douchebag.”

Over the course of 8 years, Democrats managed to blame Bush for everything… natural disasters, school shootings, car wrecks, wildfires, and now even oil spills that occur two years after he’s left office.

This mantra continues into the worst recession America has seen in 60 years. While ignoring the fact that their policies of increased debt, tax hikes, government takeovers, bailouts and entitlements do nothing to stimulate growth, they continue to simply “blame Bush”.

So in that context, let’s just see what Bush and Republicans are to blame for…

January 03, 1995, when Republicans took control of Congress, the Dow opened at 3,834.33. Twelve years later, on January 03, 2007, Democrats took over with the Dow at 12,459.54 - up 225%. And after just two years of Democrat control in Congress, the Dow had managed to shed 36%, down to 7,949.09. Yet, somehow this is Bush’s fault.

When Democrats took control in 2007, unemployment was at 4.4%… since then it’s more than doubled to over 10%. Yet, somehow this is Bush’s fault.

The National Debt was $4.8 trillion when Democrats seized control of Congress, and in just two short years, and with the help of gaining a Democrat colleague in the White House to provide a rubber stamp, they proceeded to skyrocket the debt to well over $12 trillion. Yet, somehow this is Bush’s fault.

Many DNC talking points not only blame Bush policies, but incorrectly claim that the financial meltdown was a result of those so-called “failed Bush policies”. In fact, George W. Bush publicly called for reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 17 times in 2008 alone. And who stood in the way? Democrats controlling Congress, of course.

And who were the top recipients of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

#1 - DEMOCRAT Chris Dodd
#2 - DEMOCRAT Barack Obama
#3 - DEMOCRAT John Kerry

Keep that in mind when you watch this video again…

Yet, somehow this is all Bush’s fault.

Democrats on the campaign trail keep asking Americans… “Do you want to return to the policies of George W. Bush and Republicans?”

I’d venture to say the answer is a resounding, “YES!” Bring back a DOW over 12,000, unemployment under 6%, and the greatest economic expansion in decades.

Si se puede!

In order to sell his new, bogus, financial reform bill, the Obama administration is orchastrating a kabuki theater civil suit via the SEC against Goldman Sachs. I bet he’s glad he’s got the MSM on his side… or this could’ve been messy in this election year.

But the mere $151,722.42 (inflation adjusted) in contributions from Enron-affiliated executives, employees, and PACs to Bush hardly add up to Obama’s $1,007,370.85 (inflation adjusted) from Goldman-affiliated executives and employees. That’s also not taking into account how much Goldman contributed to Obama cabinet member Hillary Clinton ($415,595.63 inflation adjusted), which was itself almost three times as much as Bush received as well.

It would be fair to say that the total amount the Obama administration has received from those affiliated with Goldman Sachs is ten times that of what Bush received from Enron.

Well, it is change.

…and don’t forget about all the Goldman Sachs’ employees who work in, or advise, the Obama administration making the very regulations that govern Goldman Sachs.

Obama claims he learned of the charges against Goldman Sachs via cable TV.

Yeah, right. Another lie of convenience… or another example of a President who is completely unaware of the world around him.

UPDATE: The good news… maybe this wasn’t a case of Obama being ignorant and out of touch… again. The bad news… looks like Obama was just lying his ass off… again.

While Goldman Sachs’ lawyers negotiated with the Securities and Exchange Commission over potentially explosive civil fraud charges, Goldman’s chief executive visited the White House at least four times.

White House logs show that Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein traveled to Washington for at least two events with President Barack Obama, whose 2008 presidential campaign received $994,795 in donations from Goldman’s political action committee, its employees and their relatives. He also met twice with Obama’s top economic adviser, Larry Summers.
…
Meanwhile, however, Goldman is retaining former Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig as a member of its legal team. In addition, when he worked as an investment banker in Chicago a decade ago, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel advised one client who also retained Goldman as an adviser on the same $8.2 billion deal.

Between this and his involvement the Blagojevich trial, this is shaping up to be Obama’s Enron, Whitewater and Watergate all in one. It’s amazing he has time for all this given how “busy” he is.

…on the golf course, that is.

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation’s president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.

On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio’s Mark Knoller.

Thirty-two rounds of golf in 15 months. Remember when President Bush caught so much grief for all the time he spent playing golf instead of leading the country? And yet…

Mr. Bush played just 24 times. His last time as president was Oct. 13, 2003.

Good thing the MSM has different priorities, or this could become an issue for our community organizer in chief while he oversees the “illegal war” in Iraq and another in Afghanistan.

Priorities, baby… priorities.

Sorry, D-baggers, much like all your other offerings, this one appears to be a loser, too.

46% of Americans now say they would rather have George W. Bush as President to 48% who say they prefer Obama. Although independents disapprove of Obama on balance, they do prefer him to Bush by a 49/37 margin and that’s what puts him ahead on that measure.

“George W. Bush’s approval ratings were horrid his final few years in office because even a decent number of Republicans and conservative leaning independents were unhappy with him,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Now those folks wish they could have him back over Obama.”

Despite the Democrats’ endless efforts to blame everything under the sun on George W. Bush, Americans would just as soon have him back instead of the current community organizer in chief.

Nice work, Barry.

Sums it up pretty damn well…

I couldn’t help but think, as I watched C-SPAN throughout the day Sunday, “If Ronald Reagan were alive today, what would he say to the American people about the actions of the D-baggers on Capitol Hill?” Then I remembered I needn’t wonder… for in 1961, Reagan told America what he thought of this health insurance bill disaster:

Timeless wisdom from a great leader. America sure needs a man like him again… now, more than ever.

Here’s what Nancy Pelosi had to say today in response to a government report showing 20,000 jobs were lost in January, and a total of nearly 3.3 million jobs lost since Obama took office and the trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ package was passed:

“And what a good morning it is as was indicated by the jobs figures this morning.”

I can’t figure out whether to chalk it up to complete idiocy or blatant partisanship…

…or both.

Take a look at how she addressed almost the same number of job losses back in 2003, when she asked, “Where Are the Jobs, Mr. President?”

Washington, D.C. — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ announcement that 470,000 people abandoned their job searches in July and that 3.2 million private sector jobs have been lost since President Bush took office:

“The fact is that President Bush’s misguided economic policies have failed to create jobs. Since President Bush took office, the country has lost 3.2 million jobs, the worst record since President Hoover. And today we learned that in July nearly half a million people gave up looking for a job.

“Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families. While Democrats are fighting for opportunity, jobs, and economic security for working families, Republicans continue to focus on helping those who need help the least.

“According to today’s survey, while the national unemployment rate dropped slightly, it still stands at a near record high. In addition, the unemployment rate for African Americans was still over 11 percent in July, and the unemployment rate for Hispanics was 8.2 percent in July.

“It is time for President Bush and the Republicans to get to work for all Americans, not just the elite few.”
