President Bush Uses the D-Word

Candor. Wake me when they start calling it the First Great Depression.
.
30 years of false demand created by cheap credit which only cost us our manufacturing base...thank you Ronald Reagan!

It makes no sense to try to parse the language of this bumbling moron.

Remember, they used to call WWI "The War To End All Wars" until that nastiness broke out 20 years later.

Here is a good sign that I am a political geek. I keep refreshing the Star Tribunes home page as the recount is going on. Coleman's lead now is down to 15 votes. Out of 2.4 million votes cast between them.

Well, once Great Depression II is over, we have hyperinflation to look forward to. Good times.
.
That wasn't dawn Ronnie, it was dusk.

Rember how long it took Bush or anyone from his office to even use the R word? I have one word for Bush...Hoover. Of course he may just think that is a vacuum.

And to think people, Bush was our MBA President!

.
Well, in about a month we won't have Bush around to throw shoes at anymore, except in mildly amusing web games like this one. Sock and Awe, baby!
.
So I analyzed that and decided I didn't want to be the President during a depression greater than the Great Depression...
.
But to be the President engaging in the invasion of a country under false pretenses, or during a terrorist attack, or while running roughshod over civil rights, or encouraging divisiveness among his fellow citizens, or promoting laissez-faire economic policy...Good Times!
.
Worst. President. Ever. The ghost of Warren G. Harding can finally find some peace.

Well, for what it's worth he's left me in a funk. It's not that great, though.

And to think people, Bush was our MBA President!

Massive Bastardy Assh*le?
.
On-topic, that last paragraph reads frankly as a mea culpa.

If Bush truly feels there will be a quasi-Depression if the auto industry collapses, why isn't he expediting government funds to stave off more of the cuts we've already seen from GM and Chrysler? He's either lying about the "D" word or is compromising his remaining principles for the ideological benefit of the GOP.

I am genuinely scared. Denial helps. If that doesn't work anymore, alcohol might follow.

"I analyzed it and decided..."
What intellectual prowess this must have required.
Especially for someone not used to exercising it.

All right, it's getting to the point where every time I read what he says I get dumber.
.
the financial markets are completely frozen and if we don't do something about it, it is conceivable we will see a depression greater than the Great Depression.
.
So I analyzed that and decided I didn't want to be the President during a depression greater than the Great Depression
.
That took analysis? He had to sit there and analyze whether or not he wanted to be the President that ushered in the Second Great Depression?
The man's a blistering retard! Obama's going to have to repaint every inch of the White House to get rid of the stench of stupid!
.
So we moved, and moved hard.
.
Yeah, and you totally prevented the car factories from closing down. Oh, wait...
.
I say people need to start throwing their shoes at the fence around the White House.

What's incredible is that KT and GWB got their MBAs from the same freakin' school.

What a terrible shame for Bush. All those awful things just happening during his presidency.

A depression greater than the Great Depression. Is this candor--or alarmism?
It's just a little dog-whistle for some Republican Senators who think that it's all in good fun to screw over the UAW that they're playing with fire.

Cincinnatus -

Right on. Thank Reagan for the last 30 years, during which the public came to believe that an economy based on consumption was normal. Bush was just the last pilot to drive this plane into the ground.
.
Thank Reagan also for astutely helping co-found the Taliban in the 1980's.
.
No one ever gives Carter credit, but even in office, he saw all of this coming. He asked the American public to decide their future, and boy, did they ever.

@trifecta: This one would be called the "Greater Depression". The next one, under president Jeb Bush, would be called the "Greatest Depression".
.
@cliff: "I decided" - remember, he's the decider. Can't have anything happnin' without him decidin' 'bout it.
.
@PaulDirks: If the Big3 declare chapter 7/11, they'll pull out of NASCAR and NASCAR will be ruined...that will be the payback for the southern GOP senators.
.
*sigh*...It's snowing in Motown. Any news of a loan?

Hey, if he doesn't want to be president during the Greater Depression, he can always step down a month early. I won't mind at all.
