Nobody, will not from Planet Earth, that is....... lets say he would step down. BHO's handlers already have 2-3 people lined up for everyone already under BHO.
Its call "Just-in-Case" battle control. If anyone of them get caught with thAre finger up their ass, and guilty for Cheating & Lyeing, they have someone to step right in.
Look how many already have had to step down for doing just that......? And im sick of his "Gurly Long Fingers" & his "Slithery-Surpants" face........he dose look like a surpant that lives in the sewer below the Fed. building.
Not only that, but who was in charge of goverment for the last 4-5 years of G W Bush........? Ahhhhhh, wasent it the Dems. and the other Lizzered Nancy Polosi.......?...?..?..
Wait, maby I slepted on the wrong side last night, Nope, got proof right here....
A History Lesson from less than two years ago.
Some of you will delete this without reading it and in my opinion it's because you are too biased to open your mind and recall some recent history about our government. The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009. It was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, the start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
Pay attention. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy............?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOS! (By the way, Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001, because it was financially risky for the US economy).
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????
OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???
OBAMA and the Democratic Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush...
Set the record straight on Bush!
Now let's look at it a different way....
The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough,...... a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. That's where Bush should have openly blasted Congress in a state of the union address.
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 2009
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER! Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel of that "car" they were driving.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! And this just goes to show you how complacent Americans have become, in that most of us assumed Washington was working for the public.
The banking crisis was building long before 2007, The Dow Jones peaked at 14,164 on 9 October 2007.
The Dow Jones was at 7920 on 20 January 2009. That's a drop of 44% in 15 months.
Every administration has inherited deficits for at least the last 50 years. So it is not a matter of if...
I bet Gutithner, has his hand on Barney Frank's........"Frank"..............? God Only Knows what Hillery is doin in the Tub....?
