Remember the good ‘ol days? When what you did wasn’t censored and recorded by the NSA? When you didn’t have to worry about consequences of the Federal Reserve, their money printing and $4 trillion balance sheet? When we didn’t have $17 trillion in debt and plenty more to come? When you didn’t have to worry about being terrorized by the IRS, TSA or DHS? Remember when you had no concern about the USA turning socialist, communist, and fascist? When you didn’t have to worry about Obamacare or the consequences of having the largest free standing army in the world (the FSA). Yea, the good ‘ol days, they’re gone now….

Was this before Bush ramped up the War on drugs, used the NSA to illegally wiretap and spy on Americans with the help of major telecoms , launched a war on CIA whistle-blowers, created a devastating unnatural catastrophe, built on lies and propaganda known as the War on Turrah,culminating in the near destruction of the country of Iraq and costing millions of lives of innocent people or before water boarding was no considered torture, o before Bush and his corporate crony bankster friends decided that they had to kill capitalism to save it by dumping trillions of dollars of toxic mortgages on the backs of the American taxpayer…see herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwPG-7FTkyM…yep, Bush was the greatest…the greatest palm greasing POS this country has ever known..Obama is just picking up where this cheese eating corporate controlled rat left off.
And Bush didn’t send his Secretary of State to the UN to lie about weapons of mass destruction.
o wait, yes he did.
Famous Presidential Lies
LBJ:
We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)
Nixon:
I am not a crook
GHW Bush:
Read my lips – No New Taxes
Clinton:
I did not have sex with that woman… Miss Lewinski
GW Bush:
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
Obama:
I will have the most transparent administration in history.
The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son.
I will put an end to the type of politics that “breeds division, conflict and cynicism”.
You didn’t build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It’s not my red line – it is the world’s red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
Obama Care will be good for America.
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
The ACA will not add a single dime to the deficit.
The ACA will add jobs.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan.
It’s just like shopping at Amazon.
I knew nothing about “Fast and Furious” gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels.
I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups.
I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi.
I have never known my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago.
And, I have never lived with that uncle. He finally admitted (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.
And the biggest one of all:
“I, Barrack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
I find it not so amusingly hypocritical for anyone to criticize BHO without laying the same criticism of GWB and his predecessors.
The feds, meaning the federal bureaucracy, have been the problem for far too long. Reagan articulated this, but did the opposite. Since that was the beginning of the current exponentially increasing federal deficit, everyone was enjoying a false prosperity, so no one complained, ala the Hangman.
This was the 1980’s, and was also the beginning of Congress and the multi-nationals shipping US jobs overseas, importing cheap foreign labor, profit above all.
No, it’s irresponsible to criticize BHO without acknowledging the corrupt system which allows it.
Big deal if he’s worse than GWB. It doesn’t exonerate anyone, least of all anyone who’s gone along with it, including myself.
card, dumbass is thy name.
Comparing Bush to Obama is akin to saying that cancer that’s eating away at your asshole pales in comparison to your recent heart attack.
I think Flash is not a Bush fan.
One more time, it’s not his fault, he was a faithful servant of Dick Chaney.
Flash one more time. The US intervenes in the Middle East to defend the Petro Dollar. Oil being denominated in dollars allows the US to print money at will. Defending the Petro Dollar is a matter of National security. When one of the country’s goes rogue and wants to jump off the dollar they get attacked the leadership gets killed off. Let’s just be clear on why we fight there.
I am not defending the policy, simply stating why we fight there.
Petrodollar Warfare
As of today, nearly every oil exporting country around the world uses US Dollars to price their oil, cementing the state of the US dollar as the worlds Reserve Currency. But there has been some significant blowback from the economic hegemony in the last couple decades.
In the year 2000, Iraq, which officially has the largest oil reserves in the world, decided to begin selling their oil to Euros. They quickly reverted back to the dollar following the United States invasion and occupation of the country in 2003.
Libya, with the ninth largest oil reserves in the world, presented a threat to the petrodollar in 2010. Muammar Gadaffi proposed the creation of an African currency called the gold dinar, which would be used for their oil transactions. It was not long before a ‘No-Fly Zone’ was imposed on Libya and the Gaddafi was removed from power (And one should not dismiss the importance of this based on the flowery name, a ‘No-Fly Zone’ is an act of war). After the revolution, it took just weeks for the new ruling class to establish a private central bank and continue the selling of oil in dollars.
Syria had switched to the Euro for their oil sales in 2006. Now, their country is in the midst of a civil war, like Libya previously, and is the most destabilized and dangerous place in the world.

Obama defended the petro dollar just as Bush did before him. Obama will most likely hit Syria and Iran before he leaves office. Just wait and see it’s gonna happen.
someone said recently that there is no republican party anymore, I think it was biden. actually, there are no parties anymore except The Party. the elections since 2000 have been stolen elections. we went from chad to acorn. and they blamed the last election on the latinos. yeah right. the same fuckers who have been getting deported in droves would vote for the deporter in chief.
Hey Chen
Long story short. Mexican lady I know (natural citizen) had five kids husband left her. Single for a few years meets illegal mexican, gets married has another kid. Everything going ok, then dude gets a DUI which made number three and he gets a one way ticket back to Mexico for good. She’s really in a bad way now six childens no babies daddy. She considering her and her kids going to Mexico. Sad story she’s a hard working lady with great personality, just a string of hard luck.
it’s a damn shame that story repeats everywhere. they leave white girls, brown girls, black girls with kids and move on. these guys are young after all and they gotta get laid. American girls are naïve or delusional, no one ever tells them that it is a losing proposition to get involved with an illegal alien. they should be smart, like the bitch who, when i asked her out, asked me, do you have a green card?
then there was that story of a young dude who was found by the mexican tv reporter. the kid was here illegally, working to send money home and when interviewed, he broke down and cried because he was living in an abandoned car in an empty lot. all he wanted was to go home, he had no friends or girlfriend or any social life here in the good old US of A.
no matter how hard your heart, you can be sure someone is exploiting these poor fuckers and we are benefitting downstream.
sensetti, Obamey following in the footsteps of Dubya…so what’s your point?
The difference betwixt Bush and Obamey is one of servant versus master, with Bush existing as the latter. Obamey the house boy is just doing as told.
Read this and get back to me.
Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America
sensetti, your nice Mexican lady with the 6 kids, deserted by 2 husbands was not “unlucky”.
She’s just dumb.
Very nice and sweet, I’m sure, but very dumb.
I can understand how a woman who came of age before 1965 or so, when birth control was unreliable, often frowned upon, and almost illegal, could end up with 6 kids to support by herself. These days, though, you have to be an idiot to maneuver yourself into such a position.
@thank you Chicago, it needed to be said. Poverty through reproduction is a very real thing, and it’s rates are exploding. My mom and dad are the poster children, also for the obesity epidemic. I am forever grateful for whatever it was that led me away from that.
The more kids you have the more dole you qualify for, people aren’t completely stupid, they do what seems the easiest and popping out kids is very easy for some.
There were no “good ‘ol days,” not since the 1800’s anyway.
We have been on a steady march to this point since Lincoln determined we had no right to state’s rights, nor private property. Each, and nearly every, president since has encroached on the Constitution while enabling unjust enrichment, and private person control, to grow.
People still clinging to the “but he is worse” thinking are still, in some manner, drinking the kool aid.
Reagan, the Demoncrat CONgress, and the Supremes of those times are the ones that enabled the level of wiretapping, illegal entry, bogus Rico charges, stop and arrest and search – for driving, etc., etc.
Johnson was a nightmare, Nixon got caught, Carter a liberal whack job environmental and save the children guy.
Meanwhile the banksters, and multinationals, grow in size with each and every one.
And our freedoms and rights shrink, all in the name of saving one child, one polar bear, one job, one something.
Today, tomorrow, these are OUR “good ‘ol days,” make the most of them.
