Guess who is times person of the year. Go on, guess. Its a real shocker…
B_____ O______
fill in the blanks.
Bill O’Reilly?

And he isn’t even sworn in yet. SIGH…
ha ha
g w bush as president did give us 7 years of relative peace, but it also cemented in place the bailout the victims mantra of the government. i look at the world trade center Victims bailout where we taxpayers forked over about 3 million bucks to every victims surviving relative, then katrina victims, where we spent billions for years to pay people who never worked in the first place, then ike victims, then banks, then auto companies and insurance companies and soon cities and states and schools and… compassionate conservatism indeed! i see the compassionate part with the taxpayers money, where is the conservatism?
Bush went after the vermin that attacked us in 2001. He prevented another attack in the USA. I’ll honor him for that.
Everything else, not so much.
Um, what longtime advocacy would that be? Is that the advocacy that inspired his steel tarriffs? The prescription drug plan?
Sigh.
Thank you, GWB, for instituting policies that gave our military some teeth and have our enemies on the run. Unfortunately just about everything else you did is as f’d up as a soup sandwich.
Bush was at best an average president when we needed a great one. obama will have to work to become even that.
Bill O’Reilly?
Bobby Orr?
Come on…don’t keep us in suspense.
Nahhhh.. im going to drag it out….
He abandoned free market principals to save his globalistic buddies. He follows in the tradition of Richard Nixon.
I saw CNBC this morning and they were touting Bernanke and Paulson for persons of the year.
Lets see, we had a 40 percent stock market crash, a recession that will linger, a large drop in jobs, large business and banking failures. These are things that were there jobs to avoid, yet they deserve some kind of reward. I feel that I am Alice in Wonderland.
Its washington DC’s world, we just have to live in it.
In the real world , YES!
How is that even possible?
I’ve abandoned being faithful to my wife in order to save my marriage.
I’ve abandoned my diet in order to lose weight.
Did I wake up in Bizzaro World today?
If memory serves, wasn’t Susan McDougal also a real estate agent? Advice to Patty B. – you may wanna talk with Mrs. McDougal, should someone from the Obama camp come around with an “offer.”
Oops! Wrong thread -
That quote reminds me of the line in the movie “Crimson Tide” by nuclear submarine captain Gene Hackman to Denzel Washington: “We’re here to preserve democracy, not practice it”.
They made more bad decisions than anyone else in a given time frame?
Putin’s Idea of “Free Speech” & Bush’s Idea of “Free Market”
Isn’t abandoning free market principles to save the free market system the same thing as destroying a Vietnamese village in order to save it? Such stupidity.
Reminds me of abortionists who call themselves “pro-family”.
I hate to say this but I really see disaster. The unholy allience of Bush, Paulsen, Pelosi, Ried, Frank, Schumer, Dodd and sundry others to “save” our economy is a poorly diguised effort to crash the entire financial underpinnings of the United States.
When this happens, and it will happen, the the predictions of Gen.Tommy Franks and Sec Treasury Paulsen to the effect that we “throw out the constitution, establish a Military Government and declare Martial Law may very well come to pass.
The situation the nation finds itself in “reeks” of colusion and criminal activity on the part of our political leaders with an active participation of the Mass Media.
If one is honest with oneself and steps back and looks at recent events with an emphasis on this “election” and the activities of such a Soros, Acorn, Franken ect, ect one reaches an unexcapable conclusion. We’ve been had and it is our own fault. No wonder our elitest political class has no respect whatsoever for the “Joe the Plumber”s or the likes of Sarah Palin.
In their eyes we are to stupid “to get in out of the rain”.
We may have a shot in two years (2010) We had better get our butts in gear and make this next two years the most miserable our media and political elite have ever thought possible in their worst nightmares.
