shouldn't clinton apologise for the deregulation that passed through when he was president?

Bush hasn't really done much but continue the downward trend that has been going on for a long time.

of course not

history began when Bush was elected in 2000

nothing ever happened before it....

Jenna, The Messiah, is the President.

There is a term, you probably never heard of it because Bush is the first President ever, from you perspective, but he is what's known as a lame duck.

The Messsiah, is the President.

I blame Obama!

The DOW Jones TANKED today.

The Messssiah has been elected for a month, where's The Chaaaange?

As far as the new president goes it can be summed up just like this (as can every forthcoming presidency).

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

Once again blame Bush for everything. In one thread they say Bush is a complete idiot and in another thread he is an evil mastermind capable of fooling anybody and getting away with everything. He can't be both. Personally, I have yet to see any President in my lifetime who fully understands how the economy works. Most President who have had good economies have walked in at the right time. A matter of luck if I must say. Do you really think Bush understands how the fed and Treasury works. Just like any President, solicits advice and goes with the best idea. They gamble everything on advice. Where was the lame duck Congress when all of this happen? Besides the up the taxpayers you know what bailout and and a few other pieces of legislation, what has Congress passed to solve this economic crisis. There is plenty of blame to go around including ourselves. We complain and complain but that is all we do. Other than complain, we elected many of the same people who got us in this situation in the first place right back into Congress.

Apology accepted.... Why not?

An apology isn't going to fix this mess any more than a magic wand.

The President always gets too much blame when things are bad and when things are good given too much credit.

Bush rightly should apologize for his role in the multitude of failed policies and outright lies as well as destructive, misguided military objectives along with policies that were by design meant to favor the ultra-rich and elite... Among many things, but he is/was hardly alone, the others responsible will neither accept blame or ever apologize.

The bottom line is that if you spend more than you make then you're going to get in over your head.

This is common sense.

Bush had to go to war, an undeclared war IMA that far exceeds the length of WWII and not to mention the budget/dollars spent. The liar, he'd said that it would be paid for by Iraqi oil revenue.

We're now bankrupt, and still fighting a bunch of "insurgents" armed only with AK's and RPGs with our military stretched to the limit, our high tech M1 Abrams and Apache Gunships and 8 years later we're still spending Billions, yes Billions of dollars per WEEK that we are borrowing !

"I'm sorry" is all he can say ?!



The DOW is down today ? What exactly do you expect ?
People are taking their money out and selling as they've recently seen the value of their Homes and 401K's evaporate...thats why the DOW is down ! Not due to the president elect.

What's funny is that people didn't learn but our economy was all F'd up after the last Bush was in office and his trickle down economics plan had failed miserably. I guess it runs in the family! You can count on the Bushies to make themselves even richer but mess things up for all the rest of us.

I must say something that needs to be said. Stop blaming Bush!!!

Instead, recognize that he is being used as much as any of us are, and had history developed differently, Bush and Co. might be your friendly neighbors. Evil does not lie within the hearts of men, but rather it is perverted by the heart of civilization... which at its core is what you might label "Luciferian" in nature.

I can only wish President Bush the best, and hope he sees the error in his ways.

We don't need anymore hate. If everyone would sit down, meditate, and send their love to President Bush..... who knows?

I've had people try to kill me before, stolen from me before, practically ruin my life at one point.... but I forgive them and I love them because MAN did they teach me a lesson I'll never forget.

Jenny, please, you know I'm right. I'm not a troll but you can believe that I am as long as that makes you feel better.

All I was trying to say is, Obama is being awfully quiet. He is as silent as a church on Tuesday.

This isn't a regular, normal, transitional-phase between President and President-elect.

Now as far as economics, I am a Peter Schiff follower. Meaning I think we are in for some trouble and I worry about Obama because he is very very likely to fall trap to his own ignorance by listening to his new "Team" of "Financial experts"

Meaning he could go down as the President who made the depression worse and caused a lot more pain that was necessary with his printing press.

But, I'll watch my tone around here and please accept my apology if my comments were deemed inappropriate for ATS discussion.
