Bush/Cheney lunacy?

For example,....

The prosperity of the 90s was actually the later 90s. Thank you Republican Revolution for forcing WJC to cut spending and taxes. It was well worth shutting the government down in late 95 and early 96 to force Bubba's hand. Consumer confidence was never higher, and government hadn't been that resposible in decades.

For example spending trillions to fight a war with a country that never attacked us and was a former ally, namely Iraq.

What was that obama said about a "brink" and "rescue"?

Obama is a corporatist, you do know?

Nobody should factor any recovery until we cut off the slave-wage goods coming in from overseas, and spend enough on a true Stimulus Bill.

That was stimulus. Even Obama will tell you that a spending bill is the same as a stimulus bill.

I remember back when every time we posted some bad news from Iraq, we were accused of wanting the US to fail.

Ah! Good times!

Most liberals did want the US to fail and you know it.

I think he guaranteed us if he got what he wanted unemployment would not exceed 8%.

It's now over 9.5% and I am convinced within a month it will exceed 11% due to the new minimum wage rate.

Question, is Obama a liar like Bush since Obama lied about unemployment?
