Bush: Sacrifice Free Market To Save Economy

US President George W. Bush said in an interview Tuesday he was forced to sacrifice free market principles to save the economy from “collapse.”
Gee, I don’t suppose all the hanky-panky that preceeded it had anything at all to do with the “collapse,” did it?
“I feel a sense of obligation to my successor to make sure there is not a, you know, a huge economic crisis. Look, we’re in a crisis now. I mean, this is — we’re in a huge recession, but I don’t want to make it even worse.”
How is it that President Bush can duck shoes and ad-lib like a pro, yet when speaking at any other time, sounds like someone with problems?
And administration officials have also referred to the primacy of the free market when discussing a possible government bailout for the troubled US auto industry.
Only from this administration would we get a sentence with `primacy of the free market’ and `government bailout for the troubled US auto industry’ in the same sentence. I can’t be the only one who noticed this…
In the interview, Bush said that a “disorganized bankruptcy” of the carmakers could create “enormous” economic difficulties.
Ok, how about an “organized bankruptcy” then?
But the US president has yet to announce how his administration will proceed amid calls from Detroit automakers and Democrats for a bailout drawing on funds set aside for financial firms.
Do you really need a lot of imagination and a custom-made Thinking Hat to figure out how this is going to go? This administration and this Congress has yet to meet an issue that couldn’t be fixed by throwing lots of taxpayer money at it. Iraq, anyone?

Can anyone say…American Union!?! 2010 is the big date so set your calenders… it is coming. Big thanks out to both Sr. and Junior Bush and of course Bill Clinton for making this all possible behind closed doors while the American population just slept through it all. They laid the ground work according to plan (including this financial crisis) and loaded the bases just in time for the new wonder kid president to come in and hit a grand SLAM! Isn’t it apparent how are new president is bringing back so many of the people instrumental in structuring the forthcoming American Union. Hillary will be able to drive home her National ID and oh whats this Bill might be coming back too…..? It is going to get a whole lot uglier just remember it is all according to plan.

I had posted two in-depth commentaries and you did not allow the posts…..you cheated your audience from the wisdom of a senior veteran that has been following this for over 20 years and am watching the plans unfold before us.
You can pretend to be interested in telling the public but it seems that if my posts are not PC then you will not allow.
To sum it up it’s your loss and for your audience also. I’ve been trying to do my part and awaken people but too many are drinking the cool-aide.
Word to the wise Alex Jones is a coadjutor for the Jesuits. I have followed him for years. He is a plant to intentionally mislead the public with fear mongering and the military gages the depth of his success.
That also comes form following this agenda for 20 years so lefty if you want PC replies be my guest and I will move on to other forums where I can be of value to the uneducated but are willing to learn. You are not ready but a mere want-to be………good day……..

Chinook: haven’t denied posts, sorry. If you think it’s PC around here, you need to see a specialist. There have been some odd happenings with the software which might account for missing replies. I lost an entire blog post yesterday.
Thanks for the comments.

This whole thing started with Reagan’s “we are going to be a service oriented society”.
Then Bush senior’s “we are going to have a global economy”.
Then of course Clintons “NAFTA”.
And for the past eight years of Americans losing their jobs because of it all and now the ol’ snowball is still rolling.
But remember GWB has said “we have a vigorous economy” and “outsourcing is good for the enonomy”.
