Filed under: PolitikUhmmm…
This man is dumber than dirt!!!
George W. Bush actually thinks the U.S. economy is "growing."
What's he been smoking????
Click here to check out what he had to say today!

Economy sucks! (even though its "growing") With cost rising everything from daycare, housing, utilities, groceries and gas me and my family barely survive! We live in the ghetto for cheaper housing but with jobs making mroe than twice the minimum wage we still cant get ahead. Us poor and middle class people need a break or to win the damn lottery! Its depressing…
Re: Angie – amen!
George W. Bush went to Harvard..
where did you go perez? NYU..?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's a well known fact that Harvard is clearly a better school. AND.. the last quarter our economy DID grow. you dumb fuck. get your facts straight.
Oh, and maybe you should get some respect. It's okay to insult people like Heidi Montag.. But it's not okay to call the President of the United States dumb. It's inconsiderate and completely inappropriate. Democrat, Republic, Independent.. regardless, presidents put 8 years of their own personal life aside to accomodate you. And this is how you repay them? How dare you. You fat-ass ungrateful bastard.
Re: Me –
WHO SEZ THE PRESIDENT IS OFF LIMITS?
HOPE YOU HAVE THE SAME MENTALITY WHEN OBAMA TAKES OFFICE LEMMING!
Are you aware, Perez, that you have non liberal fans who have contributed to your fame and fortune over the past few years? Or that your constant and distasteful hatred of all things conservative is a major turnoff to independents and conservatives alike? I'm tired of the hatred that permeates your site. I'm a non liberal person who is open-minded and respectful of others, regardless of their political affiliations. You have every right to express you own opinion, especially on your own website, but I am also free to boycott your site. I was a faithful and supportive fan of yours for a very long time but I do not want to come to your site and be offended anymore, so I won't return. Goodbye, Perez, and good luck in the future.
Don'cha just love the Republican inability to accept accountability, or even REALITY??? It's the same old, tired tactic. Just repeat the lies, over and over again, and hopefully the gullible, diehard base will believe it!
Hey Republicans, repeat after me:
THE ECONOMY IS JUST FINE AND DANDY, AND EVEN IF IT WASN'T, IT CERTAINLY ISN'T THE FAULT OF THE MAN WHO'S BEEN PRESIDENT FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS!!!
Or, try this one:
WE'RE WINNING IN IRAQ, IN FACT, WE'VE ALREADY WON! FORGET ABOUT ONE MILLION DEAD IRAQIS, THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IT'S COSTING, AND THE FACT THAT THIS POINTLESS WAR WAS BASED ON LIES! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
There…now doesn't that feel better?
Hey Perez you fat fuck, the ECONOMY has been and according to recent numbers, IS growing. The growth has slowed, but it is growth. much like your fat gut
Re: REALI – THANK YOU!!!!
Re: DEAN – amen brother! me and my husband both work full time and with both of our incomes we barely survive. Daycare all of a sudden skyrocked now i cant afford child care for my two lil boys and mos of te time we are eating ramen noodles. god bless you dean!
IMPEACH!
IMPEACH!
Re: LettyB –
How can sombody that wrote: your a dumbass call GW dumb?
Anyone with a 9th grade education knows it's "you're" as in you are.
GW might not be the smoothest communicator in the world, but he is highly educated and smarter than 90% of the world population.
How is it that uneducated bafoons call a highly educated/highly successful person stupid? You can say he says dumb things or sounds stupid, but he is smarter/richer/ and much more successful than 99% of you!!!
Re: 27 –
YOU FUCKTARDS DON'T LIKE GAYS…. GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT! IF YOU DID, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HANG UPS ON GAYS MARRYING OR ADOPTING CALLING GAYS FILTHY DISEASE CARRIERS AND BEATING THEM WHEREVER THEY ARE. CLOSE-MINDED RELIGIOUS NUT JOBS! GO BUY A CLUE POMPOUS ASS. BETTER YET GO WATCH FOX! READ THE CHRISTIAN MONITOR SOEMTHIN! YOU COME HERE TO BITCH B/C U DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH THAT PEOPLE DON'T ALL THINK LIKE YOU?
FUCK OFF FIRECROTCH!
omg i hate him so much. he sounds like a child… "well, you're not economists" which basically translates to "so you don't know what your talking about" but yet we live in the real world economy, unlike him, and don't have to be economists to know that something bad is happening. i really hate him. it's because of people like him that this world is falling apart.
Re: RoyBo –
THAT APPLIES TO YOU TOO ASS KISSER.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT! WHY SULLY YOURSELF IN OUR PITIFUL POORLY EDUCATED POOR COMPANY? BE OFF WITH YOU STUPID BOY!
what a idiot!!!!!!!!!!!! McCain is his fuckin clone, he's just as dumb!!!!!!!
we're all SCREWED if he wins as president!!!!! OBAMA!!!!! Please save us….
The best part about all of the whinning about how dumb Bush is comes from people who either have not finished high school, didn't finish high school or didn't go to college. And no, community college isn't college, and neither is Arizona Stata.
Stupid is as stupid does and Bush has said and done some stupid things.
It's sad he's a product of our nation's two top universities… no wonder we import our intelligence but what do I know I'm the dummy with a computer graphics and design degree that's 10k in student loan debt and can't find a job.
Re: brand –
Quit blaming George Bush for your woes! It's not his fault you're eating Ramen Noodles and bread crumbs for supper. Get off your ass and do something about it!
I have only a high school diploma. I worked every low level job in the world when I was younger: laborer/garbage man/telemarketer/office clerk. But I did not sit and wait for my "handout" I worked hard, married an intelligent woman, and made a solid life for myself.
I just turned 40. I have ZERO debt. I make $150K per yr, and my wife makes $70K. We invest in my 401K and other stock. I paid cash for 2 cars in the last yr ($28 and $30K) Spent $30K cash remodeling my $400K home. And I'm still liquid for over $100K in accessble cash. Plus my investments. Oh, and my inlaws are worth $2M plus that my wife will inherit someday!
Hope you Libs don't take too much of that away in taxes!
We got to this point by being frugal and humble. I still only get $20 a week allowance. Despite making $3-$4K per week commission!
Gotta love AMERICA! The home of successful C students!
Re: DEAN – Dean, I have two children, one autistic, so I know a bit about the real world. My point was most people's misery is of their own making, and they don't want to take responsibility for their situation, which is especially grating on those of us who do try to act like adults and don't expect handouts. Everybody has a run of bad luck now and then, but a lot of people are just spoiled dumb asses. If you're the former and not the latter, my comment wasn't even directed to you.

If you're going to play grammar cop, I suggest you check own posts first. It's "buffoons", not "bafoons," LOL!
As for your contention that Dubya is some sort of intellectual giant, you can't be serious! Remember, this is the guy that infamously coined the term, "internetS," and is unable to pronounce the word, "nuclear." He can barely make himself understood in his mother tongue! Bush attended those schools for one reason only: FAMILY CONNECTIONS.
It's the same reason he conveniently jumped the waiting list for the National Guard, and thus avoided fighting in Vietnam. On his pilot aptitude test, he scored in the 25th percentile, the lowest possible passing grade, and also went AWOL. It saddens me to think of deserving candidates passed over in favor of such a dunce.
NONE of Dubya's accomplishments are the result of hard work or merit. He is THE perfect example of just how far someone can go in this country with privilege and the right connections.
Re: o –
You Assume a tad too much about the masses.
Also, since that's your opinion WHY ARE YOU SLUMMING?!
Re: loldo –
Thank you for an actual response.
We've been riding the wave since 2001…a little fluctuation/slow-down is a natural process of the growth in the economy. geez people–i recommend that you don't comment on the economy unless you have studied it in depth. it's a complex system…i don't think you could do better.
America is going down the drain and I saw it coming 10 years ago. We don't manufacture anything, all we offer is financial services which are based on fraud so once that collapses there is nothing left. Our dollar is close to being worthless, our debt is outrageous, our people are uneducated, we have too many illegal aliens that can't even speak our language and who leech off taxpayer money, and worst of all the oil situation is causing massive inflation. Pretty soon none of us will be able afford to live!!! This what greedy corporations outsourcing our entire economy did.
The attitude of republicans is that if you aren't middle class and can't afford a fancy college education you don't matter and should just fall in a hole and die. Black people and poor whites are just a nuisance to them. The people who flip burgers, man the registers at Walmart, clean the floors of their fancy offices and drive cabs are losers and it's all their fault they can't make enough to get by and pay a doctor $600 just to get an antibiotic. They're sociopaths.
Re: RoyBo – I'm 40, and my husband and I both get $20 a week in allowance, too. We've done that for at least 10 years. I've never heard of anyone else who does that. That's a huge reason why we're in great financial shape, not because I'm a spoiled little princess sponging off daddy like some have suggested.
Re: Ray – Thank you!
Re: Jill –
It depends where you live. If you live in the Midwest or the South where things are cheap it's easy, if you live in NewYork or Los Angeles forget it. Housing is crazy and you have all these taxes. Most southern states don't even have income or sales tax. Do you know a STARTER home in LA or NY is half a million dollars? Unless you are wealthy you are a renter for life and that ain't cheap either. Rent in NY or LA is $1,200 for a studio.
Re: Nicki –
"Speak the truth. I love you bush! Too bad im not a follower a listen to my democrat parents like everyone else does."
Maybe if you "listened" to your democrat parents you'd learn a thing or two about proper english….
trash.
Re: Jessi –
AGREED! I laughed LOUD when he said that….
then I threw up…
Re: Snook – "That's another reason industrial hemp should be legalized!" I'm not sure what that has to do with the Democrat's ethanol fraud resulting in 185% increases in food costs, but, nonetheless, I agree completely.
Re: Jill –
Doesn't change the fact that the ECONOMY is what effects our family. My trade is building automobiles, Ihave always been a tinker, always curious about the functionality of things that's why I do what I do. When Corporate companies flee out of our countries without regard to the people , hard working people they leave in devastation it makes you think why does te government allow this? with all the breaks and lobbyists corporate America has in its pocket they still rape the working class in the ass with no lubricant, running over seas to find cheaper labor.
My point is, we invested in the american dream, that's what a house is for and to turn around twice in a lifetme and be kicked in the teeth that your promising investment is not worth the land its sitting on is ridiculous. So yes my situation is the government's fault for acting like lap dogs to corporate America.That is why Enron got away with fucken murder.
i think we should have more respect in our president than saying he should die and rot in hell?? i mean c'mon hes our PRESIDENT. Hes not the best, but hes definatelyyy not the worst, and its sad to see Americans acting like this.
hes saying that these are uncertain times but that the economy is getting a little better than before, obviously its bad but hes doing what he can to make it better for now. Its totally up to congress anyways, so learn how to pay attention to politics before you start telling the president to suck hairy balls.
and if you dont like him, then study up real hard on the candidates because theres a new election in November !
I hope all of you asshole republicans acting like everything is AOK in America all lose your money in the next ban failure. America is full of selfish narcissistic assholes.
Obama will tax you dope smokin tree huggers to death and you won't be able to follow the PETA PEACE train. The economy is not in a recession, look up the definition in your college text books. Yes if you work at Mikey D's you may be hatin life but the economy is slow. NO ones economy is a 100mph freight train all the time 24/7, not natural or normal. We are some of the richest people on the planet earth, have ya been to oh let's say sub Sahara Africa lately? Have you gone down the river to fetch dirty water for your entire family to drink, cook and eat with? You whiney libs think it's bad now…go look up history and see what the jimmy CArter years were like. Grow up, educate your selves.
Re: RoyBo –
Well I'm 21 trying to get to where you are at. I went to the Ohio State University got my BS and you know what I can't find a job to save spit. I currently work at Starbucks so that I can have health insurance while still phishing for a career. You are clearly upper middle class and I will not knock you for making it but you know what, that Cinderella story your living is going to be harder for first generation college graduates like myself to achieve due to today's situation and some of the arrogance on here stating that it's the people's fault is absurd. There are people clearly willing to work especially those fresh out of college that can't their foot in the door and that is the reality of the situation. For the record I graduated Magna Cum Laude.
Bush perfectly represents the people that voted for him: Privledged Narcissists who will sell out their own community/people for $$$$. They allowed all this illegal immigration so Americans could lose their jobs to Mexicans who work for slave wages, allowed all our manufacturing to leave for China, made education so expensive only the wealthy could afford it and allowed the banking industry to commit fraud and bury people in debt. More bank failures are on the way assholes so don't think your money is safe.
Re: Ricky – Dude seriously, people who want jobs get them. No questions asked. If you want it bad enough then you will find a way to get the job you want and nothing will stop you. If you want someone to hand it to you or you think you are entitled to it, it ain't happening.
Re: Ricky – The days when "hard work" got you anywhere in this country are long over. Everyone I know works 2 jobs and they aren't getting anywhere. The only people getting anywhere are greedy doctors, lawyers, CEOS, politicians and Investment bankers. How can you make a life when you have to work 60 hours a week just to pay your rent? You can wait tables all dam day and you'll never amount to anything or even own a home. It's sad.
Re: MJ –
Never once asked for a handout and currently not getting one now. The reality is my student loans are going to kick into repayment December I BARELY got into Starbucks… Starbucks?! WHo goes to college to work for Starbucks and I'm still busting my ass looking for a second job for when my student loans kick in. What I do not like is reading people taunt other people of their wealth, presumed lack of education etc. I found myself going along with tat till I stepped back and realized this is ME some of these arrogant piss ants are talking about and I am not lazy, doesn't chane the fact I am poor though and thats a sobering thought. For those that want to pick apart my grammar and punctuation go right ahead. I'm so tired right now I don't have the strength to proofread. Good night all, I'm going to bed.
1st…people stop complaining about the economy. Work your ass off and you won't have to worry about it and if you deserve the money, you WILL get it. Believe me. I know someone who didn't go to college, got D's in high school, had a horrible family upbringing, and ended up with the best business in his field all because he worked really hard. You can do the same if you try.
2nd of all…STOP BEING MEAN. Holy crap some things people say about republicans and democrats are horrible. I'm more republican than I am a democrat, but I don't go around bashing democrats heads in with nasty comments just because they have political opinions. Grow up. Just because someone doesn't have the same views as you doesn't mean you should bring them down. Stop and think if what you are saying is really necessary.
I don't think it's America that's fucked up as much as the people. People are just mean and they never want to help each other. They just want to criticize because they want to make themselves feel better. I am 17 and I feel like I have better morals and I've learned more in my life than a lot of people who are twice my age.
Re: snort –
Yeah, my last comment was to people like that. It's sick that some people would be that mean to people they have never met.
I can't believe he went through two terms, nearly, without being assassinated. At least Cheney is articulate. Bush is such a fucking embarrassment to us all, republican or democrat. Did anyone hear that shit he was saying about "The president doesn't have a magic wand"? What the mother fuck??? Off with his head!!!
Re: jay –
This may come as a shock to you, but our elected representatives are supposed to be public servants, employed by the American people. When they screw up as badly as Bush has, it is our patriotic duty to criticize or even fire them! That's the way democracy works…this is not a dictatorship where citizens are required to sing the praises of their leaders, no matter what!
After 8 years of the Bush administration's lies, incompetence and greed, I, and many other Americans have zero respect left for Chimpy and friends. And sorry to break it to you, but lots of folks ARE saying he IS the worst president in American history. Traditional conservatives who still care about values like fiscal responsibility, civil liberties and limited government ought to be absolutely outraged by the damage Bush and his cohorts have done to our country and the Republican Party!
I can't even watch anymore. I had to turn it off when he was on the news this morning.
Re: MJ –
You need to raise your standards a little if you think sub-Saharan Africa is the yardstick we need to measure ourselves by. Personally, I tend to look at western Europe and the strong Euro. Compared to the healthcare, education, employment oppourtunities, and benefits available there, we in the U.S. have a long way to go! And please, spare us all the false sympathy for people struggling to survive in war-torn, developing nations. It's a little disingenuous, don't you think?
What I would like to know is why the richest people in our country aka our CONGRESS gets free tax payer funded healthcare for LIFE when they won't give national healthcare to low wage Americans? They give us this bullshit about healthcare not being a "right" while it is for them when they can well afford their own and we can't!!! Fuck, they even give it free to illegal aliens. And why do people in Prison (and illegals) get free college education while everyone else has to go into mountains of debt to pay for it? And why is gas $5 a gallon here when it's $1 in Mexico? Doesn't Mexico owe us some free fuel for taking in all their illegals? Just curious!!!
I think what Bush meant by "the economy is growing" is that HIS OWN personal wealth, along with that of the oil barrons who installed him in the White House, is growing. To hell with the rest of you peons in America!
BANK FAILURES ARE GOOD FOR AMERICA. -DUBYA
I think what he is saying is right. The need to pass a new Housing Bill to help people get out of crazy ballon mortgages and get into more traditonal loans is way overdue. We need to pass legislation to help citizens manage their debt. WE NEED TO DRILL OIL! We need to build more refinery locations or we will be paying 7 dollars a gallon for gas by late 09. Like him or not, he knows the oil business.
Re: Joel – i was just going to say the same thing.
i am the LAST person who would back up bush, but technically, there is growth between last year and this year. inflation is just so high and unemployment is up. therefore, people think we're in a recession. however, by definition, we're not. that being said, out economy is still fucked and it is bush's fault.
people need to take a damn economics class before you start having uneducated opinions.
GREAT DEPRESSIONS ARE GOOD FOR AMERICA. -DUBYA
BANKRUPTCY IS GOOD FOR AMERICA. -DUBYA
People want to punish the Republicans by voting for Obama. The consequence of that would make life in this country a living hell. Obama hasn't a clue what he's doing and he will foul everything up for sure. McCain at least will kick butt in the Middle East, keep taxes low and promote drilling for oil. Obama wants to lose in the Middle East, tax us to death and punish the oil companies to the point where they'll be unable to produce oil at all.
shut up shut up shut up shut up!
Did you listen to the entire press conference…did you listen to it at all or are you regergitating what you saw on cnn, abc & cbs…spoon fed by the media conglomerates. Did you listen to Bernanke? Did you - - - c'mon write what you have become famous for …gossip…no politics or sports…PUHLEEZ
I read the comments to this and I lmao…those who say Bush is an OIL BARON, or that Bush only went to war so he could make more money with the oil
YOU ARE FUCKING IDIOTS…he MADE money on drilling & trucking oil in Texas…NOT THE MIDDLE EAST! The only groups making hand over fist money are the refinery's and retail giants. You people are so blinded by your liberalism leash you cant' walk or think for yourselves.
Re: Hans –
Sorry Hans, but Dubya's forays into the private sector as an "oil man" are laughable failures. Google Arbusto (Spanish for Bush), Spectrum 7 Energy, and Harken Energy to see what I mean.
The first two ventures failed with Bush as CEO, in spite of investments and bailouts from Daddy's rich friends, while at Harken, Bush was eventually eased out of management duties and accused of SEC violations. When it comes to economics, Dubya's specialty is corporate malfeasance!
leave perez alone already…i dont understand why people come on this website and comment on how much they hate him if you dont like him then why are you taking your time to come on here, read, and comment! perez i think your doing a great job keep it up
rotten liberals, love you bush!
FIRST!!!
Huh. The economy is growing. That is, we haven't had a quarter of negative growth. Since, we have had positive growth, what he said is true. READ A BOOK.
i didn't vote for w the first time, but i did the second time and i've felt like a huge tool about it every day for years now. just for the record, u.s. growth in the first quarter was positive and the second quarter numbers aren't in yet. they'll suck.
loooser.
I am completely embarassed that this sad excuse of a man , is the leader of the free world. Such a loser. I never voted and he sucks.
He is an idiot..I'm still amazed that he was elected not ones but twice to e president. Nobody in Europe takes him serious. He is just a scary little dude whit to much power.
Re: batch – Don't call him the leader of the free world!!
He is your elected leader. The so called " free world " did not pick him. That is a title that is taken by the president of USA on his own. Nobody but the Americans picked him to be the leader of anything!!
Bush took away "The American Dream"
Damn straight he's not an economist. Maybe he ought to start taking advice from people who actually KNOW something! Now, he's pretty much just piddling around until his time in the White House is up… and it won't be soon enough!
Hey Perez - are you making money? Seems to me ever since Bush has been in office your popularity has grown - along with your advertisers. Have you been around 8 years????
So - are ALL you naysayers unemployed?
Re: loldo –
Well spoken. Thankfully, someone who has a mind of their own.
i agree with him
Re: snort –
'selfish, narcissitic assholes…'
You mean Congress? Let's not forget that they are responsible for making or breaking us with their bullshit legislation. Like, say, the more expensivle light bulb (LOL - they contain mercury) and their fraudulen save the earth crusade costing us billions.
Re: Awake –
Obviously you never traveled to Europe and don't know anyone who lives their — OR — you are filthy rich which means you make your money off of others.
Europe is a toilet. Go live their if you think it's so much better. I'll take up a collection for your ticket.
Re: batch –
"I never voted and he sucks"
Are you for real? What is your point besides sounding infantile. You can tell when the little kids who still live with their parents are texting.
He might be stupid, but he is right. The economy is growing, just not as fast as it used to be. Just because the growth rate has slowed down, doesn't mean that that it has actually decreased.
Re: Anna – Europe is a toilet?!?
I wonder what you mean by that?
I'm a proud European and compare to USA we are way ahead of you in every way. I stayed in the USA for 3 years and t tell you the truth it was fun and interesting but I would never stay there for the rest of my life and I would never raise my kids there.
Uh hate to break it to you Perez, but the economy IS growing. The growth has slowed say to, the 90's, but our economy is still on the ups. Stick to what you know- celeb gossip. Leave the weighty stuff alone.
Re: blonddudesf – People aren't "loosing" their jobs; they're "losing" them. You "loosen" a tie. "Loose" is the opposite of "tight." To "lose" is to lose an election, to be a loser, not a "looser." People, learn to spell. People are "losing" their jobs.
OMG!!! I ask myself every damn day how he EVER got elected in the first place, never mind RE-elected. If he's dumber than dirt, what does that say about the 'majority' of Americans who elected him? IMPEACH the man, then send him to prison to pay for his crimes against America, not to mention the world. Please, don't say it 'delicately'.
Bush is dumber than dumb
U Americans need to send him back to school!!
Then bring back caning for a semester and get all the kids to whip his ass for being so useless!!
Re: RoyBo –
I'm just curious as to how you bought 2 brand new cars for cash on your '$20 per week "allowance"'. Since it seems, by your own admission, that you 'married money', I don't suppose your in-laws gave you a hand up or anything? I'm older than you, a college graduate who has also worked hard her entire life, saved and invested as much as humanly possible, and am still nowhere near to having what you do. Of course, I also have children, was divorced from a 'dead-beat dad' when my youngest was only 1 year old, and I reckon parents don't do as well, especially after helping their children with college, etc. I have NO doubt I would be much better off now, as would my (also hard working) children if Bush had never been elected.
"I'm a uniter" meant "I'm going to tear this country to bits."
"They have weapons of mass destruction" meant "They don't have weapons of mass destruction."
"We don't torture" meant "We do torture."
So when he says "The economy is growing," he really means "It's growing worse by the day."
You have to understand the man doesn't really comprehend the meaning of words — or he hopes we don't.
Re: o –
How totally like a republican to assume that anyone who disagrees with him/her is uneducated. BTW, there's no such word as 'whinning', and what in heck is Arizona Stata? While I'm at it, @RoyBo: Calling the president dumb does NOT make us un-American. He is richer than us because his family is rich, he got into Harvard because of family connections, not because he was smart enough to make it there on his own, and there's no such word as bafoons. Neither of you is as smart as you hope to appear.
I'm honestly shocked that he hasn't been impeached. The fact that he has been the President of our country for nearly 8 years (AND miraculously made it into Yale when he was much younger and even more idiotic) is infuriating. This is the reason our country is falling apart at the seams. People lose hope when someone who is so uneducated and/or unintelligent can be the PRESIDENT of this country. The manager of the bookstore I work at isn't particularly bright, but she's a hell of a lot more intelligent than GWB. That's just too depressing to think about.
Re: Carol – I ask myself every damn day how he EVER got elected in the first place, never mind RE-elected.
=================
That's easy: he cheated.
Re: Me – presidents put 8 years of their own personal life aside to accomodate you.
===========
What planet are you from? Bush has not "accomodated" anyone but his rich friends and his own selfish self.
actually Perez, Bush is right. despite everything, the US economy is still growing, albeit at a rate of only 1% per year. a recession is technically two quarters of negative or no growth. so, despite what everyone thinks, the US is not in a recession.
Re: bub –
How dare you talk to people like this? YOU represent everything that's wrong with our country. It's full of hate-spewing, bigoted imbeciles such as yourself. The world is never going to get any better until people like you get some sort of education. To think that republicans think that democrats are the 'uneducated masses'. Look no further than people such as yourself, loyal republicans each and every one of you.
Re: Lizzz –
Even IF the economy grew nearly 1% (and, if that's true, big whoopeedoo!) inflation has grown by nearly 35% for food and 50% or more for gasoline over the past few years. It will continue to grow by leaps and bounds. So, even if you are earning 5% more than you were last year, you are still worse off than you were, say 10 years ago when you were earning significantly less. That's the problem that none of you who are supporting Bush's statements have failed to address. You are the ones who need to study economics again. The current rates of inflation are making it impossible to live even halfway comfortable lives despite the fact our actual paychecks are getting a bit larger. The majority of us have had to make significant cutbacks in our budgets just to afford to put food on our tables, buy gasoline to get to work and pay the much larger share of prescription costs our insurance has enforced. Of course, the cost of insurance has skyrocketed also, and the benefits have decreased. Please, don't lecture us on economics.
Re: Buckwheat –
Thanks for giving me the first laugh I've had since I've been here reading all the comments tonight!! I needed that!!
hahahahahaha…was he not at the g8 summit that was discussing the world recession…hahahahaha thats wat u get wen republicans rule the world…
Re: jd – You said: "Fuck the assholes and haters." Man, if YOU aren't one of the biggest haters I've ever seen, I don't know what a hater is.
haha. If anyone actually listened to what he said, whether democrat or republican, either way, Bush actually doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, and no, you don't need to be an economist to recognize the obvious. Either way, he should understand the concepts of a recession, if anything at all, he should know this much… wow, do I pity your country.
I'm so so sorry for you and the world that this man was ever elected
This is proof positive that Bush bought his way into Harvard and Yale. I know a few Ivey League graduates and NONE are as dumb as this dipshit.
As for this nonsense to not criticize the President, how can you not when he keeps providing the materials to skewer him with?! My 2 year old annunciates and speaks more intelligently than that!
The best excuse I have ever heard is that he tries to put his speeches in layman's terms LOL( heard that from a Republican)! If that's the case he thinks America is full of dumbfucks and we ALL need to go back to school.
Hope u guys remember not to criticize the President when Obama takes office!
I'm off to my mediocre job now to collect my meager mediocre check to pay for my ridiculous cost of living.
Re: heart – What about the underhanded things Bush has done….? Like Silverman or Ignite? You sound like Elisabeth Hasselbeak.
You know…as much as I think my president sucks, Brasil´s economy is groing. Now…you guys have an idiot president AND your economy is going down. That´s just SAD!!!!
Vote right next time!!!
"George W. Bush actually thinks the U.S. economy is "growing."
^ Because it is you fucking moron. A recesssion does NOT mean there is no growth, it just means that there is a slower pace of economic growth. Perez, stick to stupid gossip and shoving food into your fat, fugly face. What the hell do you know? You get your news off the back of an Icecream container. Putz.

Perez,
Stick to Hollywood - not politics- GDP grew 1% in the 1st quarter of 2008. Bush is spinning (obviously) but not lying. He's not my favorite, but you should do the research before you post. Teach the kiddies who read you to think critically…oh yeah if they did so, you would be out of a job.
The economy is fine. Fine if you are in the top 2%. That's why his approval rating is so low. The GOP is so desperate, because they know it's over for them in November.
