Well now that we've had the final State of the Union address by our commander in Chimp, what say ye? Was there any news in the speach last night? After seven years of republican dominated earmarks Bush is not going to stand for the Pork in the budget. I guess we can't afford any more bridges to nowhere.

The "uniter" spent the first half slamming the Dems and the second half grinning after talking about each of the "accomplishments" he's achieved while in office. The guy seams pretty detached from reality.

That would only be because Jr has ruined any hope the family had for a Jeb run.

I am wisely staying out of this one. The only way this thread will become interesting is if you jump right in. Let's hear it...

If you guys think you're rid of the commander in chimp, I have some bad news for you. The consequences of his 8 years in office will live a long time. You will think of him often in the coming years. Sorry about that. Agreed. Whoever gets to clean up this mess is going to catch all the flak for this massive war debt that has now come home to roost. America is going to be feeling the cost of the Bush Family for a good decade or more, and with any luck we can have most of it paid off by the time the Baby Boomers go to cash in on Social Security... which is already starting. Americans have a piss-poor memory when it comes to sh*t like this, and whoever's up next is going to have to crank up taxes in order to pay for 6 years of War and massive tax cuts....(Like buying a house with a Credit Card and quitting your job at the same time...) and he'll be the one hated for it and the one the GOP will point the finger at, and the one who, as a Democrat (I hope), will be too much of a pussy to lay the blame where it properly belongs.

We are 13 months away from all the Republican blowhards....on TV, on the radio, and right here on the internet...blaming the country's woes on the new Democratic President...but we'll be dealing with Dumbya's destruction of our integrity, honesty, economy, standing in the world community, civil rights, and civility in general...for a long time to come.
What a jackass. I hope all of you who voted for him...especially the second time...feel really good about yourselves.
Fish on...
Todd

This country is brainwashed Republican. Especially most of the military. They campaign on lower taxes but then run up deficit spending which ends up costing more in the long run. Like George Stepanopolis said he will be remembered for one thing and that is Iraq. Where is Osama bin Laden?
I don't think the Dems can overtake the GOP machine in the presidential election. Obama and Clinton are just beating each other up. I had hope they would team up and run together. Edwards is too much of a liberal.
We're going to end up with another Bush and his name is McCain. Guliani just bowed out. Romney will not get the backing of the right wingers. Huckabee came in 4th in Florida.

Loved that video on the new Bush coins. Yes we have over the last seven years given our children a dept they can never repay. I'm sure they will thank us for it. Regan gave us a four trillion dollar deficit and Bush has more than doubled that. Currently it is $9.25 trillion. That is over $30K for each and every person in the U.S. http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ Soon the half of the US budget that doesn't go for defense will go to pay the intrest on the debt. That is one way to shrink goverment. Bush isn't a real republican, he hasn't shown any fiscal restraint in the 7 years he has been in office and the next president will have to cover for him. I pitty the fool.

trying to get as rich as possible in the allotted time but it backfired when the economy fell & the $ fell. If it keeps falling they just might be back where they started, ending up only as rich as they started – imagine that.
Making money on a falling dollar is easier than you think. People can be incompetent beyond belief – especially if they are appointed via connections- rich privileged people who have never thought about anything except their pompous, self absorbed pampered existence.
So they can't tie a blood knot or change a tire, doesn't mean they are incompetent. Most rich people, (real rich people, not politician rich), knew the economy was gonna do this for awhile, it's a market correction. They pull their money out way ahead and put it in another growth area, while we go into further debt mailing out $300 checks. They're not as concerned about joblessness, the interest on their residuals could support a handful of American families comfortably. I hope the rebate whether borrowed or not goes through. It could keep some families out of foreclosure & should help our economy.
It's another short term band-aid. When we get the money it will either cover one month's mortgage payment or go to buying more stupid sh/t from China. If families are already in foreclosure, they are probably owing a few months payments, attorney's fees and whatever may be unpaid escrow. And the money is definitely borrowed, so you'll just pay it back in taxes and higher fuel prices as our dollar drops again. It's one good last kick in the nuts to the next prez as this administration leaves the White House.
