He's already won the Nobel Peace award thing, and isn't he making millions from his Cap&Trade thing? I think he's better off now that he didn't win, actually.

You know, I honestly don't think our situation is Bush's fault. The economy collapsed because Americans tried to live outsied our means, and it was his fault because he was in office. I agree with our current position in the Middle East. But, I will say that if he was in office it would all have been his fault that our economy collapsed. Then, McCain would be in office now, and we'd have someone who knows what they're doing.
Americans like to pass the blame. We caused the economy to collapse, not Bush's policies. We just put all the blame on his shoulders.

People need to realize that there is only one person to blame for anything, ever, and it is themselves.

A republican couldn't help this country right now, they don't understand what it takes to actually pull us out of a situation like this. Mostly because they're all bought and payed for; then again, most of our politicians are.

Heheh, sounds pretty bad for America. But really, it has become a victim of it's own ideology. Once in the few decades the bubble bursts. America depends on living from loaned money, right? You buy buy buy, so the economy keeps growing. But there's a moment someone has to pay for the loan.
Also, true democracy still does not exist. There is no way any of us has a direct influence on what the policy of the government will be. The only moment we average Joe"s can be part of the democracy is when going to vote. Anyway, democracy is so old and still not perfected. Time for change and a new thinking!

Actually, I do blame the economic collapse on Bush's administration. Goldman Sachs' former CEO was the head of the Treasury at the time the uptake rule was repealed in the SEC regulations, leading to record profits for these banking companies that short sold their stock options, making money the ENTIRE way down. Then lol, you've got the market down low where all these mega corporations can buy up assets for pennies on the dollar. Bail-out money went to the government more or less buying a controlling stake in the auto-industry here, and then you've got the health care reform pushing people to spend their money so that the government now has more oversight into regular people's lives.
Fucking Russia is also trying to push economic reforms for a global currency. Is there any connection between that and them having the most billionaires in the world? I'd like to hope not, but something tells me its running a lot deeper than that.
I think what these fuckers are setting the world up for is Corporate Fascism under the guise of some "global democratic union."
Watch where the money goes people. Follow its trail and you should arrive at the core of the world's terminally corrupt ruling class.

Obama could be the anti-christ. You know, end of the world: a man will come and bring peace in the Middle-East. He's already won the Nobel-piece prize for Peace! (Which is odd considering he hasn't done shit) Peace! Peace! Peace! They will yell. And we will have chips in our bodies. And we all die! 2012... Things are actually looking quite bad... Things have changed the last decade and no-one can save us. The worst of the flu and crisis have yet to come. Or not? I have not noticed shit personally so beh. Isn't it a prejudice of me to think that political power can?(must?) be bought in America? How many millions did his campaign cost? Problem is the antichrist was supposed to have a Roman connection and Obama's heritage has none. |

Follow its trail and you should arrive at the core of the world's terminally corrupt ruling class. POEP Russia has so many rich guys cause Russia has a SHITLOAD of oil and gas in their ground. And they haven't even starting to exploit Siberia! America's golden age is over friends. The beginning was when they started folling around in the Great War to End All Wars, WW1 and the beginning of the end was set in when they invaded Iraq. Now look where they are. I heard fools got so much unemployment that the new ghettos are already being formed. 15 million people in a tent on a grassfield. How sad. Cause there will also come a powervaccum with the collapse of America as the world's greatest nation. Anyway, I recently found upon AWESOME news. Tells that the native americans or indians that were hanging around in North America at the times of the colonists were not from North America. Somewhere 12,000 years ago a meteorite came on that continent and wasted a lot of life their. Including possible humans. And what kind of people do native americans look like? That's right, all of those original chars are from South America. Ain't that cool? |
