    602

    Bush is an IVY league educated PRESIDENT. Where did you go to college + what is YOUR current occupation? Smoking getting the munchies, krispy kreme-ing your already fatass's and posting comments on here all day? *coughs* losers. No wonder you guys complain about the economy, eating ramen noodles, and having minimum wage jobs.

    603

    Re: 4True – The bottom line is: you will never come from a family that has an IVY league legacy. That must suck.

    Bush is right. GO BUSH. all the ingrate's should have been more conservative with their $$ then they wouldnt be complaining. Excuse me, while I go stimulate the economy by booking a weekend at the four seasons…

    606

    Technically he's correct. The GDP is still growing, by a fraction of a percent. It will not officially be a recession until it spends two quarters shrinking.

    He's still a shitbag.

    Oh fuck him Perez! Bush is a lying piece of shit! I'm just about ready to put a bullet in my brain over this economy! Times are tough, I'm going to lose my place, and my children might have to move in with their dad with the way things are going. I can barely feed them now. Everyone who voted for this pond scum has blood on their hands….

    Perez, you are dumber that crap. Why would the President of the United States talk the economy into recession? Of course he's suppose to say that. Clinton and Gore's recession happened in 2000 and they didn't talk the economy down and begged Bush and Cheney not to for the sake of the country….despite the fact that economy grew because of the Internet Bubble. JUST STICK TO HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP. THAT'S ALL YOU ARE GOOD FOR.

    Re: fuckU
    You're at work and have nothing better to do, huh? Just like your glorious leader! There's work to be done, but it's so much easier to let someone else do all the heavy lifting and really important stuff. Although it's doubtful that Chimpy could manage to access "the internets" by himself, let alone put together a coherent sentence!
    By the way, what's with all the rabid homophobia and class envy? Lemme guess: you're a closeted, drooling, toothless redneck who will never get to bottom for the waspy, white boys that you crave, am I right??? Projection is a bitch, Bubba. I feel for you!

    622

    I think it's a shame we have to suffer from the mess he's made of the place, just like people suffered when he made a failure of every business he ever ran. Why someone would vote for a man who couldn't run a dry cleaner's, I don't know.

    635

    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.

    President Bush is Ivy League educated, he's not as dumb as you guys are making him out to be. How many of you guys are in college, and no, junior college doesnt count. Do you guys really think you could endure the Ivy League? If not academically, then how about socially? It's tough.

    Perez, you're a fucking idiot "hello, can you say recession?" A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. We haven't had one quarter you fucking uneducated dipshit. Your blogging skills are weak, you're not original, you're not creative and you're a poseur. Stop talking about politics because you don't know shit about what's going on. The liberal media molds ignorant minds that vote based on all the bogus liberal propaganda they hear. As a matter of fact, a majority of them don't even vote so it doesn't matter. Learn your facts.

    Re: fuckU
    Still "at work," are you fuckU? O.K., whatever you say! Christ, you Bush lovers are nearly as delusional as your beloved hero. I guess the very few of you left are pretty much "bottom of the barrel," as the saying goes.
    But the fact remains, the economy is clearly tanking, and Chimpy has yet to do a damn thing about it. He won't even acknowledge there's a problem! Many of your fellow Americans are in dire straits and seriously hurting, and the best you Republicans can do is to call them whiners and losers! Your compassion is truly amazing…
    So do your feeble best, fuckU. Call me a community college graduate, or insult me by saying I'll never be president, LOL. Tell me I'm jealous of a man who I don't respect and wouldn't trade places with for all the American debt in China.

    Google voter turnout, primaries, and 2008. You'll see that Dems turned out in record numbers, while Repubs stayed home. Could it be Bush has disgraced and disappointed his own party to the point where they won't even got to the polls? Just a thought…

    Re: stacy
    Paranoid much? It amazes me how much the first 8 years of a man's life all the sudden cancells his remaining 30 plus he's experienced! Tell me something, did you have control of your life from birth to 8? Are your the same person you were when you were 15? 18? 21? The answer is NO! Life experiences changes you, people do not remain static they change!
    The man is NOT Muslim ( not that there is anything wrong with being Muslim), the man is mixed (classified as black in this country), is educated, comes from a working class family, grandpa served in WW2 & just finished paying off his student loans so, OBAMA IS US!!! JUST BECAUSE THE MAN PULLED A ALEX HALEY DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT! A lot of what I read on here is rooted in Irrational fear, racism and religous prejudice. I guess equality only applies to those that r white. In America, only white christians r fit for the job of President which disqualifies the rest of us, you know, the Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Indians, South East Asians, Muslims, Agnostics, Athiests, Spiritualists, Budhists, B'Hais & a plethora of others that live in this country as well.
    NOW Bush is a Boob I'm sorry, & as an ex. of what Harvard & Yale produces, Please people don't waste your $. Send ur kids to Brown, MIT, OSU, UofC, Northwestern, Berkley, MSU, Hampton University, Loyola University, Purdue, UIC, to name a few… Quality education at a bargain price!

  69. 669

    OK brainiacs (including YOU perez)… a "growing" economy is based on the GDP (gross domestic product) and employment. It has nothing to do with the price of gas or whether an individual is having a hard time making ends meet. Perez should stick to blogging about what he knows- Hollywood and sucking dick.

    Re: 99
    You've got some nerve! Dubya and his cronies have done absolutely everything in their power to undermine crucial civil liberties and human rights as provided by the United States Constitution and the Geneva Conventions. If you value free speech, the right to resist unlawful detention or the guarantee that U.S. authorities will not use torture, then you cannot, in good conscience, support the Bush administration. For God's sake, even McCain is firmly against the use of torture!
    .
    If, OTOH, Bush's assault on the Constitution is fine with you, then perhaps YOU ought to move to place where freedom is nonexistent and totalitarianism is the norm. Personally, I'll stay right here, thank you, where it is not only my right, but my duty, to see that corrupt and incompetent public officials get removed from office.

    It is reaching crisis but if he publicly states that then EVERYBODY will lose confidence and pull their money out of investments, overseas investments will pull out, people will stop spending, people won't purchase properties, businesses will lay off workers etc. Then what do you think will happen????

    672

    Re: Fran
    Fran, your ethics are a bit questionable but I'll humor you.
    Little white lies are what GM, Ford and Enron told ( to name a few), before shitting on hardworking Americans cutting out and running. Americans have now grown wise and hve been slowly losing faith in our politicians because of the "little white lies" revealed when TOP SECRET files were made public. The more lies from government the more disillusioned we have become. If your going to tell a "little white lie" tell it to a public that will deny the trends they are seeing and blindly follow their leader. I refuse to be "the Allegory of the Cave".
    Lastly if people listened to Bush's OBVIOUS "little white lie" and spent, when the shit implodes and hits the fan Republicans would STILL be on here saying it's your fault for spending when all signs pointed to a shakey Economy. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't and I refuse to be a lemming.
    WMD's was the last straw for me. Bush lost all my trust when America attacked an innocent country ruled by a sadist yes, but was not our target for finding Osama Bin Laden. There are a multitude of evil dictators out there and last I checked, since you hate giving "hand outs" it is not our responsability to be the world police.

    Re: jess
    No one is asking him to "balance their checkbooks". The fact is WHEN INFLATION RAPIDLY OUTPACES YOUR PAYCHECK, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE THE RESULT? We do not control the economy. Corporate America that have Lobbyists lining government officials pockets so to swindle the people control the economy. I'd understand if people aren't working etc. but that is not the case! I mean, look at our PILOTS! My father served in the 1st war in Iraq & after his honorable discharge, became a pilot for commercial airlines. Now, because of fuel prices etc., my father had to suddenly take almost a 40% PAYCUT IN ORDER TO REMAIN EMPLOYED. He did this before! After 9/11 his pay was cut 25% & he adjusted accordingly. Now it's EVEN WORSE & has to adjust AGAIN! HOW IS THIS HIS FAULT? Tell me you wouldn't bitch & ASK your government how this happened if this was YOUR situation. Imagine after taking a 25% paycut you have to take another 40% paycut 3 days AFTER your employer tells you "there is nothing to worry about!" This is Bush's Little White Lie. See post 673. I think it sums most of u arrogant morons up. U want to fight toothe and nail for your "party" rather than analyze the issues & hold government, dems and repubs RESPONSABLE when the American people r LIED TO. U know what U REPUBS R RIGHT. Bush is not the dummy WE R for buying the bullshit to begin with. I now understand the power of fear. I see Nazi Germany in our future if this keeps up.

Too late to cry about high taxes — Bush has arranged that we will face them forever. Of course HE can't balance a checkbook so he probably never figured out it's bad to spend 600 billion dollars we don't have.

    Re: pear
    You state this as if people are saying being Pesident is an EZ job. Nobody said that. I think to be President though you should have working brain cells and from what I have seen and heard from Bush, he doesn't possess many. If it'll appease you Ivy League graduates and die hard Republicans, I'll chalk up his decreased intelligence to years of sipping the Kool Aid. Feel better now?
    I now understand why Washington never wanted factions in this country. He stated factions would divide the people and he was so right.

    Re: GO JORe: GO JO – Notice the use of the word "choose" in my post, indicating a choice. I am an American citizen, and have been living abroad for the past 5 years, therefore you can spare the comments about my ignorance about(not against) the U.S. Congratulations on your "Economics Course", of course after sitting in a classroom regurgitating the teachings of an underpaid poorly motivated teacher you now know all that there is to know about the American Economy. (I suppose it is too much to ask that you spell "biased" properly.) And as for your comment about going to China, I've been there, where have you been?

    Re: jess
    No one is asking him to "balance their checkbooks". The fact is WHEN INFLATION RAPIDLY OUTPACES YOUR PAYCHECK, WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE THE RESULT? We do not control the economy. Corporate America that have Lobbyists lining government officials pockets so to swindle the people control the economy. I'd understand if people aren't working etc. but that is not the case! I mean, look at our PILOTS! My father served in the 1st war in Iraq & after his honorable discharge, became a pilot for commercial airlines. Now, because of fuel prices etc., my father had to suddenly take almost a 40% PAYCUT IN ORDER TO REMAIN EMPLOYED. He did this before! After 9/11 his pay was cut 25% & he adjusted accordingly. Now it's EVEN WORSE & has to adjust AGAIN! HOW IS THIS HIS FAULT? Tell me you wouldn't bitch & ASK your government how this happened if this was YOUR situation. Imagine after taking a 25% paycut you have to take another 40% paycut 3 days AFTER your employer tells you "there is nothing to worry about!" This is Bush's Little White Lie. See post 673. I think it sums most of u arrogant morons up. U want to fight toothe and nail for your "party" rather than analyze the issues & hold government, dems and repubs RESPONSABLE when the American people r LIED TO. U know what U REPUBS R RIGHT. Bush is not the dummy WE R for buying the bullshit to begin with. I now understand the power of fear. I see Nazi Germany in our future if this keeps up.

    Re: C – Maybe he looked at the price of groceries and fuel, and the number of companies shutting down or having layoffs, and the complete mess of a health care system we have, and the number of people killed in this neverending war, and he figured out that things aren't going well for our nation as we know it. Most people have.

    Re: Pffft – Homeland security will never do that to ME I have nothing to hide and I abide by the law. I have 3 investment homes and a condo I will always live a comfortable life thankd to our gov. and the oppurtunity they gave me to get an education and make something of myself.

    Re: Pffft – Considering we know live in times where terrorists can attak OUR planes and destroy OUR buildings I find it highly comforting that Homeland Security has the power to do that to neccesary individuals, good for them, they are protecting you and I.

    So, which is it Repugs???
    Duh-bya is correct. The economy is "basically sound" and Americans shouldn't be alarmed. Inflation, oil prices, unemployment, foreign debt, and the lending/real estate mess is really nothing to worry about at all.
    OR
    Duh-bya is a moron, the economy is in serious trouble, but I don't care because I'm a selfish, apathetic twat . Screw everyone else, I'll be okay!
    .
    You can't have it both ways, Rightards…take yer pick!
