Well, half of that is true. There was a housing reform bill that passed in the House around that time, but it was never voted on in the Senate because the creator of the bill, a republican, pulled it due to pressure from Fannie/Freddy lobbyists.

admin: “Obama and personal responsibility is an oxymoron. I don’t suppose he told the children he’s taking responsibility for the $10 Trillion deficit?”

The reasons for the increased government spending over the past year should be obvious to anyone. The economy was in a flunk and needed to be dealt with. Half of the GOP congressmen supported the spending, so I’m not sure where you’re getting that from. Now, we can all agree that putting a blindfold on and handing the major banks billions of dollars and saying, “Here you go, use your discretion.” was a terrible idea. There needed to be limits to what they could spend it on, but in all honesty we didn’t really have time for congress (a group of POLITICIANS, not experts) to sit around and deliberate how banks should use their money.

againstobama: “The country is worse under Obama, it became worse when Democrats had majority control. Learn idiot.”

So you’re saying if the country is in worse shape than it was under Republican control, then Obama and the Democrats are bad leaders?

However, complaining about this speech is absurd.

It was a good speech. He used his childhood and experiences as examples, probably to try to relate, considering he is the President and his target audience is age 5-18.

If anything, it was refreshing to see a politician attempt to tell people they need responsibility.

Find something else to complain about. You’re reaching here.

“You obviously have no idea how the economy works, once again, a true sign you are a democrat. Democrats have been in charge since ‘06, when the economy really started to tank. Then you have Bawney Fwank who screwed everyone in the housing mess, but yeah, blame Bush you moron.”

Ummm… First of all, you’re forgetting that the dems didn’t have the power in congress to overturn a veto, so the fact that they had a majority is insignificant. Additionally, if you go back and research, you’ll see that it was GWs actions that lead to the crash. Furthermore, the housing crash has been in the works since WAY before Bush Jr. was even on the board.

“If you want health care for every American, may I suggest you pay 100% in taxes to pay for it? Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? Obama can’t even tell us how it will be paid for, but with all liberals that doesn’t matter, it’s “free” to them. Conservatives give way more to charity than you liberals, so shut up when it comes to that.”

I’m more than happy to shell out for universal health care assuming a well formed plan comes along that I can agree with, so far none have been suggested that I find intelligent. However, the fact that there are citizens who can’t afford health care is a real issue for me, and I believe that we should definitely keep searching for a means to implement “universal” health care. I mean, how could anyone be against that?

The only people that bring up race are you idiot supporters of him. For you to say nobody made anti-Bush websites proves you are a mindless moron liberal who doesn't pay attention to anything. Move on troll.

You obviously have no idea how the economy works, once again, a true sign you are a democrat. Democrats have been in charge since '06, when the economy really started to tank. Then you have Bawney Fwank who screwed everyone in the housing mess, but yeah, blame Bush you moron.

The public is against Obama, have you seen his poll numbers. Obviously you are one of those idiots who believes Fox news has a bias, and the rest of the media doesn't. You people are something else. 2010 will be a sweep for republicans, they see that Mr. Hope and Change is another idiot just like the rest of the democrats.

If you want health care for every American, may I suggest you pay 100% in taxes to pay for it? Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?

Bye liberal troll.
