Scathing Condemnation of George W Bush- How George W. Bush Helped Osama Bin Laden Win His War

61. So....

"This all continues today. Republicans continue to refuse to blame Bush for where we are today economically. They love to blame a President who inherited the worst economic situation since the great depression. De-regulation of the banking industry, and Wall Street, allowed greed to place working class Americans in desperation. Those who caused the problem experienced no change in their lifestyle, and no banking executive has ever been prosecuted for their criminal acts."

As far as I'm concerned, the real denial comes from those who like to blame only Bush for where the USA is economically, and turn a blind eye to what Democrats have done.

Does any responsibility fall to Obama for the fact that no banking executive has ever been prosecuted for their criminal acts? What about Clinton, who helped spearhead financial deregulation WITH the Republicans? Bush was a cretin, but the problems go much further than Bush. Ask someone who worked on a factory floor with GE in the USA in manufacturing how well Clinton's NAFTA, or permanent Most Favored Nation status for China, worked out for them. Then ask GE CEO Jeff Immelt how those things worked out for his corporate profitability.
