The president does not control the economy. There are ups and downs. We are on a strong down right now.

yes with the trade agreement that clinton aproved an bushs mistakes it going to get worse' until america speaks up an says thats enough !

The American budget deficit is clearly a very significant concern for all of us that are trying to evaluate both the American economy's immediate future and that of the rest of the world. Unprecedented levels of consumer debt, corporate leveraging of assets, and gold leasing by Federal Reserve Banks have left the American economy in an extremely perilous position -- If allowed to continue, our overextended economy will correct itself through skyrocketing hyperinflation, severe depression and eventually complete collapse. George W. Bush administration’s economic policies have led this nation to a cliff overlooking poverty and global vulnerability if drastic measures are not taken soon -- As Earnest Hemingway once stated, 'Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee'.

I don't think he lead you anywhere. Has he the brain to lead anyone properly?

Y'all give President Bush too much credit! What about congress? What about the greedy mortgage companies? What about people who CONTINUALLY live beyond their means?

Who else.

Actual;ly the blame is wholly with the banks giving stupid loans to people who would not be able to pay it back. The house price fall was the beginning of this.

There will be another depression. History does repeat itself.

Yes, he is a turd.

Roosevelt said:"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." (President Franklin D. Roosevelt) Taking that and the fact the Federal Reserve created this by allowing fractional banking and manipulating interest rates. What too few people understand is the Federal Reserve is NOT federal nor is it a reserve; it is a private corporstion made of of the banks in the USA. All banks are in essence under the control of the Fed. The USA BARROWS currency from the Federal Reserve and must pay interest on that currency the same as all banks. What Bush and now Obama have done is plunge the USA into an irreversable indebtedness which will cause the "fiat" money to be cancled and the Amero-dollar installed probably at a rate less than 10cents on the dollar. Congress and the president can stop this for a cost of $450 million abolishing the Federal Reserve and putting the monitary system back in the control of the Congress as required by the Constitution of the USA. To back up what I have said you may wish to read the following: http://www.lovethetruth.com/federal_reserve.htm Kennedy tried to stop the Federal Reserve and was shot for doing so. Forget the lies about Lee Harvy Oswald and look to the grassy knowl.

I'm sure that Bush didn't help any, but there are way to many smaller sources of this to just blame one person. Companies, banks, and even individual choices are to blame, among many other small things. Bush wasn't smart enough to deal with it properly, but he wasn't the cause of it.

If you listen to our American media you will believe that he has. Media says a lot of nasty things every day. You just have to use your own head and not to be so must influenced.
