Why does the media continue to seek the opinions of this thug? After 8 years of lies, misdeeds, and distorted information the public knows there will be no gems in the pile of crap.

So Cheney is saying that Obama and Krugman can predict the future. Cool.

Here’s something odd. Airlines can’t get reasonably priced insurance or reinsurance, thus BushCo will provide via the Transportation Department.

Is someone aware of heightened airline risk or has America’s insurance system decided not to write coverage?

If taxpayers are assuming airline risk, why didn’t Bush require air carriers to drop baggage and fuel surcharges?

He said he is going to stay in Washington. What for? To lurk around in secret undisclosed locations, plotting his next coup?
He also said Obama hasn’t asked for his advice.
Gee, I wonder why.

Isn’t it amazing how the “robust economic growth” fostered by Bush Administration policies of six years turned out to be so very fragile that it could all be undone by a Democratic Congress that Republicans were crying was an ineffectual “Do-Nothing” Congress?

Isn’t he off message? I thought they were trying to tell us that the crisis was the result of programs put in place by President Clinton over eight years ago.

I personally think this crisis is the final nail in the coffin of Reagan’s legacy. The deregulation and privatization programs he put into place during his Presidency, furthered by George H W Bush, and perfected by George W Bush have destroyed both the government and economy of this great nation.

When people from this administration or Frank Rich say “record economic growth”, what in the hell are they talking about? Seriously, exactly what in the hell are they talking about?
The zero jobs created the first four years (worst since the Great Depression)?
The five million created the next three years (about equal population growth)?
The minus two million jobs the past year?
Average wages declining when adjusted for inflation?
The doubling of the entire national debt from $5.7 trillion to over $11 trillion?
Ten percent of mortgages in trouble?
Unemployment going from 3.9% to 6.5% (really more)?
Nearly every state in financial trouble?
Gasoline at $4.50 per gallon?
Financial institutions going bankrupt?
Auto industry going bankrupt?
Two trillion dollar bailouts needed?
Dow going from 10,700 to 9,000?
Exactly what in the hell are they talking about?
I would really like to know!

For the moment, let me ignore the housing bubble, shaky house loans, and lack of oversight (You’ve already made that point, and I agree fully).

But even without the housing crisis, we’ve had almost 8 years of pouring massive amounts of money into the wars in the Middle East. We’ve financed these by money which was “off the books” which is a danger sign in and of itself. Even without the war, we’ve sent a pipeline of money to the top in a “true believer” fashion of “trickle down” economics (always reminds me of people above urinating on those below).

We’ve taken a significant number of our skilled workforce and sent them to the war overseas – leaving companies at home having to try to find temporary replacements and making do. At the same time, the salaries of these workers have decreased to their military pay level. Their families at home have to deal with a horrendous paycut.

And we wonder why the economy hasn’t been going so good ?

Dumb question – Has Cheney even looked at a graph of the Dow, Nasdaq, S&P etc for the last 20 years (or even 8 years).

Pre-Bush – the market was going like gangbusters – even to the point that there was concern that it may over-heat.

January 2001 – Market started going down. Its amazing how 9/11 caused this 9 months before it happened.

When will we see the end of interviews of these vermin?
Let them slither away (hopefully to the Hague courts) and let us use the disinfectant to wash away the slime they leave behind.

LIAR, LIAR!! Many economists were screaming about what was coming two years ago.

Why oh why is anyone with a modicum of sense want to interview much less quote someone like Cheney? Just what has he done to warrant such attention? Oh, I forgot. He’s part of a criminal conspiracy. The shallow press always admires the criminals in our society. Well they certainly have a wide choice in government don’t they? I guess they are so used to being lied to, they want more. They have been sucked in so often, Cheney is like a large Hoover.

If the financial crisis began only six months ago, how was I able to upload a video of Bush’s disastrous economy to YouTube 14 months ago???

I must be a witch!

CHENEY: That there’s no question about what the new administration, President Obama, are going to have their hands full with the new set of problems, if you will.

Yes, you and Bush are finally working your hardest. Too bad that work is to put as many roadblocks, pitfalls, destruction and cesspools in Obama’s path to try to sink his administration.

Anyone starting a fund to send Bush and Cheney to The Hague? Maybe we could get a deal with Jeppesen to book the flight.

(Here is the link on Jeppesen in case it needs explaining. Also notice where the news was broken, in the Metro – a local Bay Area paper. MSM flunks again!)

Crackpot realism, of course, is blameless.

If people would have just done more of the same, what the crackpots suggested, everything would have turned out fine.
