The Occupy Wall Street protests

sourdoughman just explicitly stated he blames bush as well!

"I agree about what George Bush did also, its was wrong"...."I don't care for Paulson or Bush and these policies" -SDM

 

Call me when he does something right.

By the way, that was the Democrats' exact strategy vs. Bush.

Bush's fault....

 

you can draw a direct correlation between every nation that ever existed, their welth and the extent to which they had a free market.

also the housing bubble was in part pushed by a government that gave insane credits to folks and encouraged them to buy. bill clinton was especially fond of this. again, the government should not be weighing in on this sort of thing or encouraging people to buy over rent or whatever.

it isnt about who needs the money. it is about who earned it. stop thinking like a communist. also you are the one that puts so much money and power in the government hands, begging them to be bought. if it were up to me it wouldnt even be worth buying influence because the government would control far less.

and again, the government that can be bought is the problem, not the people doing the buying.

Are we talking about the government or the people?




Of the people, for the people........

Somehow this has been lost....

 

Because of Democrat policies. Fannie and Freddie were so overburdened that they pawned the mortgages off on Wall Street, who got greedy and thought they had discovered a golden goose. The mortgages were toxic and once the bottom fell out the sh!t hit the fan. But that's not on Bush. That's on Frank, Dodd, Clinton and greedy speculators. Bush and Paulsen prevented an even greater catastrophe.

 

This makes no sense, I haven't blamed him for how municipalities handle their own crime. Only pointing at that it is wrong for these occupiers to create violence and break the law by shutting down businesses, breaking windows, blocking roads, etc. Obama is the president and I would feel the same way if it was Bush, the president should address these people and remind them to do it peacefully and civilly. I am for people peacefully protesting as long as they break no laws and do no harm to others.

No, you are partly wrong in your statement here. Martin pointed out to you what I have previously said about Bush, Paulson and what I thought of those policies. You are trying to change history here including what I have said.
Obama did indeed give money to corporations and banks since he has become president. Instead of hope and change we have more of the same policies of the Bush Administration. Obama bailed out GM meanwhile some of the bond holders got screwed then they pushed for Ford and Ford wouldn't accept. I remember something about the Obama Administration forced some banks or corporations to accept the bailout but I could be wrong. How in the world do you defend this, many policies were carried over from the Bush Administration.
It makes you look anything from center of the road.
