Cheney Blames Obama for the Bailouts and Government Takeovers »
Posted By capj71 7 months ago in News
In a bit of outrageous distortion former vice president Dick Cheney said in an interview with Larry Kudlow that will air on CNBC tonight that the Obama administration is solely to blame for the government takeover of failing industries and corporations. I have three letters for Dick Cheney A-I-G.

Larry Kudlow was practically on his knees servicing his messaih, it was completely pathetic. Cheney would never submit to interview with a real journalist. Kudlow is as right wing as you can get, casino capitalist, shouting socialist at anyone who thinks the rich should pay their fair share.

Kudlow and his band of right with super rich sychophants have only one principle, MAKE THE RICH RICHER. They live, breath and eat that principle every day all day. None of those money changers ever did a days work in their life, never made anything, never created anything, they just sit and manipulate money.
Cheney is again proving what a yellow bellied insane coward he is not taking full responsibility for the economy he created. He is a murdering terrorist, and is incapable of responsibility.-

that's lib speak for class warfare. or plain old jealousy.
i wouldn't know you from a hole in teh wall anti, but you repeat the same tired socialist, well, anticapitalist, tomfoolery in every post.
let me ask: are you someone making $8 an hour? that's the only kind of person that could rail against the rich because everyone is 'richer' than you.
here's a rule to live by: no one owes you a thing. once you accept and embrace that, a lot of your anger will go away.

i think Cheney misspoke.

AIG was dead. the US Gov't got no fight when they plowed cash in trying to save a complete collapse. GM is quite alive, but Obama is trying to hit it in the head with a shovel.
i disagree with the last 6 months of the Bush Paulson Pelosi and Reids tenure. it was if their heads were on fire and their a$$e$ were catching. and it hasn't gotten better. we're staving off utter collapse, but i can only ask 'for how long?'. -

Here's the fatal flaw in the left's logic about the bailouts and takeovers: If they started under Bush and they are bad, why is Obama proceeding with the bailouts and takeovers at a faster pace? Same applies to government spending and tax cuts. If they were started under Bush and they are bad, why is Obama ramping up spending and clinging to the "tax cuts for 95% of the people"? A concept that no one believes anymore. Most people feel that their taxes will increase.

The answer to your question since you are obviously to dense to grasp it yourself is that the government is the borrower of last resort. That is the position we now find ourselves. If you are really having trouble grasping the concept read or watch the "Ascent of Money" and you might begin to understand how we got into the current mess and as very few understand how we are attempting to bail ourselves out. Cons flip out at these trilion dollar numbers but $13 Trillion dollars of supposed American Wealth was lost in a very short period of time (and isn't coming back).

I cannot imagine the situation we would now be in if the GOP were in charge. By these BS words it appears there would have been little action and we would have simply watched our economy completely collapse. Tax cuts would have made zero difference and certainly would have had no trickle down effect. It would be the old "Hey jack, keep your hands of of my stack" . That would be the mantra. Hopefully Americans don't soon forget how thankful we should be that these people are no longer in charge. Cheney is also severely embarassing Bush (who issued the first bailouts) who wants no part of this other than to be left alone.
"Obama ramping up spending and clinging to the "tax cuts for 95% of the people"
If you don't know the basic facts why are you even posting such nonsense? Your taxes likely recently went down. Are you aware of this or are you just posting BS! Or are you in the top 5%? Not likely! Yet it never ceases to amaze me how average Americans will throw themselves in front of a train to protect the ultra wealthy. That is what you are doing when you support Cheney's views.

I find it amazing that the right won't accept ANY blame whatsoever for the current state of economic affairs...and they claim the left has a messiah complex about Obama.

I would truly appreciate seeing a Republican admit at least one mistake that Bush & Co. made that contributed towards the economic problems we have today. Come on...surely you're not going to say he made NONE, right? So tell us just one mistake that was made by Republicans...that way, we'll know you're not hypocrites, and the ones with the real "my leader can do no wrong whatsoever" messiah complex. 8) -

Obumya was trying to give directions after the election.
OBumya hasn't a clue except his distain on his mother's side.
His inexperience at all levels whereby his career centers around a basketball, pizza & jetting. The teleprompt tells him what to say & the blackberry tells him what to think. He a lttle Mussolini Insecure Socialist. Even with his faults Bush
was a true patriot who loved this country. -
