You're free to believe otherwise but it shows a level of ignorance I find astounding in this day and age.  It really does



When you believe in nothing , you will fall for anything.

All undertake due to circumstance.  You appear to forget, the US had just caused the worst recession that the world had seen since the Dutch Tulips Recession of the early 1600s.  A recession it must be noted caused by George Bush junior.



There are scores of books and thousands of internet sites with enough over analysis to put any insomniac to sleep. George Bush didn't cause the Housing crisis that created the recession. People did, ordinary everyday people that took the bait.
During that time if you had a Pulse and an Alias you could get a subprime home loan for little or nothing down. So many people moved into homes they couldn't afford the system collapsed. No credit check, everyone had the Right to own their own home they were told.
Banks don't hold Home Loans, they bundle and sell them to Investors. New Home Subdivisions were built by the thousands and soon full of repossessed homes.  Those who could afford these new homes found the value dropped by tens of thousands less than they paid due to supply and demand. Every street had several empty repossessed homes on it driving down the value of the rest.

The real blame should go to Jimmy Carter. It has been a domino effect ever since he failed to support the Government of the Shah of Iran.

Oh, dearie, dearie, me.  Attacking his ability to speak now.  How low can one get?  I suppose it's 'cause he's a black man, isn't it, Mort? 



I hold Creepy Joe Bite-me to the same level of contempt, is it because he is white?

When you rely on faith for your reasoning, you're not reasoning, Mort.   Roll Eyes

No it doesn't.  It makes you a good observer though.  You do understand the difference between watching a movie and acting in a movie, don't you, Mort?  Tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes

You may believe what you like but Bush Junior sat back and watched it happen.  He did nothing to prevent it nor to ameliorate it.  He was focused exclusive on his pointless war on terror(ism).   He invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq, embroiling the US in two pointless wars.  We went along for the ride.   We were silly.  America was lunatic.

You mean the Shah who was an autocratic despot? You mean the Shah that laughed at your nation's ideals of freedom and justice for all?  You mean the Shah who sent his secret police to your country to videotape student protestors and made their families "disappear" or were subjected to torture?  Tsk, tsk, so much for your belief in the "American Way", Mort.   Roll Eyes

Sorry, that's a cultural reference I've never heard before, Mort.  I suppose it'd make sense to another backwards Right-Wing Republican fascist American but it means absolutely nothing to me downunder.   Tsk, tsk.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

If you expect me to defend either Bush you will be disappointed as Republicans they make good Kennedy Democrats.
Tell me what Legislation came to Little Georges desk that he could have Vetoed to prevent the housing bubble from busting.
After bombing Tora Bora if that was even a valid target he should have closed every Mosque in the US and kept them closed until Islam is no longer a threat to the West! The Russian experience should have told him invading Afghanistan would be a disaster. Invading Iraq was a two part goal since they had nothing to do with 9/11. Despite denials Nation Building and the removal of Saddam Hussein were his goals. During the Clinton Presidency Saddam sent a hit team after Daddy George over the misunderstanding during that Presidency when Kuwait slant drilled oil wells under Iraq to steal their oil and sell it as their own. I was vocally against the invasion of Iraq before it happened and continue to believe it was a bad idea.

Yes, that Shah. The one who westernized his country until a Theocracy sent it back to the Middle Ages. Did he do those horrible things you claim? I know there was wide spread purges after he was gone. Our Media has taken the mask of impartiality off and freely admit they are bias. The people I know who worked in Iran during that time had nothing but good things to say about working in that Country. The World was a safer place with his Government in place.

Creepy Joe loves to put his hands all over any female from child to middle aged woman and there are many videos and photographs showing it. Bite me is a New York slang recently used by many in the US military to refer to Biden.
