I have read a lot of these comments, although not all. I am not a Republican, so my comments are not intended to side with anyone. IMO, the housing problem started before Bush 43 took office, and although the Republicans should have paid more attention to what was going on, so should the Democrats, as the minority for the first 6 years of the Bush administration. The blame rests on both parties. During Bush’s 8 years in office, only 6 were under a Republican controlled Congress; the last 2 years were unter a Democrat controlled Congress. If anyone cares to look back at those times, the Democrats couldn’t get anything done during those two years, which is why things were overlooked.
Everyone wants to blame Bush for everything. Obama says that he opposed the war in Iraq, which makes for a great story, but he had not clawed his way to the U.S. Senate yet, so he did not have a vote. The people who did have a vote were forced by 85% of their constituents to approve going to war. It is easy to forget that now, and to say that everyone was lied to, but the fact remains that the majority of the country at that time wanted blood, and they didn’t care where that blood came from. I honestly believe that if Obama had been in the U.S. Senate at the time that vote was taken, he would have either voted “present”, or he would have voted with the majority because that is what the people wanted. Isn’t it so great to just feign memory loss and say that NOBODY wanted this war? Maybe that is what gets most people through the night, but know that at least 85% of you didn’t care which country we went to war with, as long as we got our pound of flesh for the attacks on U.S. soil.
I believe that Obama will end up being the worst President in U.S. history, and that whatever he does will set the African-American community back by at least 20-30 years. After he is done ruining this country, it will be a long time before another African-American will be trusted with this position of power. The sad part of all this, is that the MSM played along with him in calling anyone who questioned anything he said as racist. I never knew that it was racist to want the best for your country, but time and time again, when anyone DARED to question his lack of experience, his voting record, his affiliations with radicals in Chicago, all of that was deemed racist by an MSM who wanted to have the final say in who was elected. Well, they had their final say, and the way things are going in this country, the MSM will have the final say as this country may not be a country for much longer.
