#righton #tcot and #fltcot Bush was not cause of worldwide financial mess

statesmanjournal.com August 16, 2009 Bush was not cause of worldwide financial mess Past President Bush is not responsible for the implosion of the U.S. economic bubble and the current economic crisis. Prior to any crisis, the whole world was reporting skyrocketing real estate and stock market prices. The whole world is now experiencing the implosion of an economic bubble. All forms of governments are affected by a financial crisis. Included are communist countries like Russia, European socialist democracies and capitalistic U.S.A. Bush cannot possibly be responsible for a worldwide crisis. President Obama argued for a financial stimulus to jump start the U.S. economy by creating4 million jobs and keeping the unemployment rate under8 percent. Virtually no new jobs have been created, and unemployment is now9.5 percent. Obama on July 10 said that the stimulus had not worked and floated the idea of another stimulus but got no support.

Dear Mr. President, Senate and House of Representatives:

Dear Mr. President, Senate and House of Representatives : I'm planning to move my family and extended family (18-20 mouths) into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon , that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family. 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. 3. All Mexico government forms need to also be printed in English. 4. I want my kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers. 5. Schools need to include classes on American culture ...

Legacy Fight: Inside Bush and Cheney's Tense Final Days

Legacy Fight: Inside Bush and Cheney's Tense Final Days By MASSIMO CALABRESI AND MICHAEL WEISSKOPF Massimo Calabresi And Michael Weisskopf Thu Jul 23, 11:20 am ET Hours before they were to leave office after eight troubled years, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney had one final and painful piece of business to conclude. For over a month Cheney had been pleading, cajoling, even pestering Bush to pardon the Vice President's former chief of staff, I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby. Libby had been convicted nearly two years earlier of obstructing an investigation into the leak of a covert CIA officer's identity by senior White House officials. The Libby pardon, aides reported, had become something of a crusade for Cheney, who seemed prepared to push his nine-year-old relationship with Bush to the breaking point - and perhaps past it - over the fate of his former aide. "We don't want to leave anyone on the battlefield," Cheney argued. Bush had already decided the week bef...
