The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was
actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of
Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th
Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the
first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy
that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and
the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House
Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate
Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part
of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping
5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in
2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush..
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and
the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat
Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &
2009 as well as 2010 &2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused
them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough
on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush
entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running
until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a
massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that
very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he
signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the
last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After
that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted
for starting Jan. 2, 2007 and then I voted to expand that deficit
four-fold since January 22, 2009.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

BLAME IT ON BUSH
Friday, April 30, 2010
DON'T YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT
"On 1/20/2001, GWBush was sworn in as President. On September 11, 2001 George Bush flew planes into the World Trade Center Towers, knocking them down! On the same day, he flew a plane into the side of the Pentagon and another one into the ground in Pennsylvania!! On August 18, 2002 the nefarious Mr. Bush caused Hurrican... Andrew to demolish part of south Florida. He liked that so well that on August 29, 2005, he ushered in Hurricane Katrina. Then in 2006, George Bush burst the housing bubble. This caused depression to descend on the country.
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as President. Following that date, GW Bush caused further collapses in our economy. Due solely to the amazing action taken by the Barack, he encourage and authorized spending three or four times (depending on your sources) MORE money in the Obama's first year of office than George Bush did in his entire 8 year Presidency. That has resulted in an upswing in the economy of about 3%, and unemployment is down to 9.6%! (Compared to the appox. 5% number that Mr. Bush held.) This downswing in unemployment from the peak of nearly 10% has obviously angered George Bush43 so much that he exploded the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 21, 2010!

In other unrelated actions, George W. Bush also caused the entire northern Polar Ice cap to melt, resulting in the deaths of all the Polar Bears in the world (they eat ice, don'tcha know!)
I've got some soon to be Gulf of Missouri property for sale. More than thirty 1 acre lots are available! Order quickly, when these are gone, that will be it!!"

I had found the above on Facebook and had to share it as I've been thinking the same all day, with the oil spill and all. Notice how the MSM is already protecting the Gangster government from their already too slow action on the oil spills. Some things never change.
