Default Thank you Republican Party

Cartoon http://www.reason.com/news/show/129965.html

We federalized credit, Nationalized the Banks, Grew the Government to it's biggest size ever,,,,,and now imagine what that Socialist Obama will do.

I am sitting here at 4:00 am. My ambian didn't work, my enormous Property taxes are due today. Business is down and so are cash flows. Thanks a lot Republicans. You have taken on the look and smell of the Democrats. I would prefer you get out of the way and let this economy recover without your screwups.

Bush wanted to be and acted like a Democrat, so I say let's give him and his legacy to the Dems.

Hey! That was uncalled for. I don't think there's any alternative than to give him & the legacy to Tex.

I'm happy to accept the responsibility. I also caused 9/11.

How much of this happened after the Dems reclaimed the House in '06?

weak excuse. Bush was an enthusiastic participant. The Social conservative wing of the GOP are economic liberals. Bush proved that.

Weak, but accurate.

Bush actually became a bit more conservative on spending after the Dems took control of Congress. He had to put up some token resistance.

But when push came to shove on the collapse of the economy Bush's true colors came to the surface and he had nothing but big government solutions.

The guy cannot leave office too soon for me.
