I Believe Barack Obama Is Dangerous For This Country

The Housing Crisis And Subsequent Recession Was Bush's Fault -- Not... PLEASE SHARE BEFORE IT IS REMOVED AGAIN
This video clearly shows that George Bush warned Congress starting in 2001,

that this economic crisis was Coming, if something was not done.

But Congress refused to Listen, along with the arrogant Congressman, Barney Frank.

This video says it all. The liberal media reportedly did not want this video on You Tube;

it was taken off. This link is of the same video, but is routed through Canada .

Everyone in America needs to see this before it is yanked off the Internet again!

Let's see how far we can spread it before it's pulled off the Canadian site.

I agree that it's unfair to blame Bush alone. There were plenty who were more culpable than he was. However, he was the president, and the fact that he recognized the problem doesn't excuse his giving up on sounding the alarm when he ran into obstacles.

He caved in way too quickly. He should have continued to pound the drum relentlessly, putting the issue in front of the American people as only the president can from his bully pulpit. He caved in on the issue of social security too. He had the right message, and in my view, the right solution. But when he ran into tough opposition, he shrugged and gave up.

Does that make him to blame? Not at all. Those who blocked his efforts and poo-pooed his warnings are much more to blame. But he shouldn't have given up so easily. That's not his role as leader.

Obama talks about being willing to do things that are unpopular. I don't agree with what he wants to do in most cases, so I'm glad he pusses out on his issues too. But he also lacks leadership, to an even greater degree.

A leader needs to do what is right and persuade people to follow, not wet a finger to see which way the wind is blowing, or what is most likely to get him/her and his/her party votes in the next election.

Great comments and right on target. I personally appreciate and respect Bush for his actions in response to 9/11 and with regard to foreign policy issues. However, Bush was not strong on domestic issues and whimped out repeatedly when confronted by strong opposition from RINOs and democrats. Bush believed too strongly in compromise and wanted too much to be liked. That is one of the things I most admired Dick Cheney for -- he didn't seem to care, and still doesn't, that a lot of people hated his guts. We need another president who will do what is right and what is constitutional, no mater what.

Did not mean to state or imply that Cheney was president, but reading what I wrote, I can see that someone might try to intentionally misunderstand what I meant, hence this clarification.
