So, how much of that was Bushs fault, and what is Barack going to do about it.

Y'know, I did a bunch of Googling on the subject and guess what? A whole bunch of contradicting articles. This indicates to me that spin is being applied to history, and not to trust any of it. What I would like to know is, how are we going to handle this BS going forward? I don't give a rats butt whose distant ancestors were abused by people long dead. What is important is NOW for us and our kids.

I don't claim to be either a repub or dem. I am a conservative versus a liberal. I don't believe in a nanny state. I do not believe in rewarding those who don't deserve it. I do believe working hard and enjoying the fruits of my labors. Sharing will be done at MY discretion. I do not believe in letting the gov control any more than is necessary, as they are wasteful, crooked and inefficient, regardless of party affiliation. I do believe in compromise, as long as it isn't the usual "we'll let you scam the public, if you'll allow us to do the same. I do not believe in legislating equality in all aspects. Some people are idiots, and should be treated as such regardless of the color of their skin or their religion, or political affiliation. Calling out these idiots is not racist, is not bigotry or homophobic. I believe my rights extend only as far as my neighbors fence. I believe the two party system is like trying to choose between the blind and the deaf. We need some quality people out there, not to rule us, but to look out for us.

I see one side saying "Boosh did it, proving all Republicans are stoopid", and the other side saying "Obama is breaking the bank and wants to control everything." Who is right? is there a happy medium? I would suggest a human sacrifice (Pelosi?) to appease the gods.

I am done with this subject. Things will be different when I am King (but not until then).

Been there, done that, the washing machine ate the T-shirt
