Bush aint my hero, and many people were complicit in sending the economy to the dogs. To put things into perspective, Lord Obama and his democrat handlers have now managed to spend more pork in ONE SINGLE bill than Bushes entire Iraq mess of the last 6 years... money which the US does not have, but will either have to borrow from China or to create, Mugabe-style, by cranking up the printing presses.
There is no rational way to defend this -- generational theft it is, by whatever label you call it.

...and you trust the Pakistan military to make a distinction between the Taliban (which they created) and the "villagers" from which the Taliban is recruited, on the basis of islam, which is the founding principle of Pakistan. Smoke and mirrors for gullible kuffars like us.

Renaming every government entitlement and pork spending as "stimulus" does not change what it is.
Yet, the Democrats are getting away with this scam. Unbelievable.

The religion of peace in Egypt.
Now stand by for the usual chorus to explain that all religions are equally likely to do this. Groan...

...and that money, of course, comes from a big pot of gold that Obama found under the White House. It is not as if he to either borrow it from the Chinese, or simply print it, Mugabe-style.
Right! Economic theory, according to smithinjapan and Gideo Gono.

"Lifeline", bah! He is asking the Chinese to lend him money for more government pork, which future generations will have to pay back.

It has definitely more to do with the recession and the low oil prices than with any "anniversary".
I am kind of flummoxed that they still are asking for fuel surcharges at this price level.

Tokyo might have a "graying" problem, but compared to the problems that other Western countries and towns face, that will rather be a blessing 40 years from now.
I say super-hub, while places like London and Paris will have turned into largely islamiciced, crime-ridden hellholes.

I think his whole nonsensical comment about "cowardice" is simply an attempt to start more racial quotas under the name of "discussion".
Batten your hatches, more race-baiting and government social engineering to come from this administration.

Pakistan caves and cedes another large chunk of territory to the jihadists. The idea that this will appease the jihadists and they will stop at the Swat valley is, of course, laughable. It is only encouragement to demand more. Allah Akbar!
And the Western countries, as usual, close their eyes and pretend nothing is happening.

While Obama is sending the US armee on a wild goose chase in Afghanistan, in Pakistan the next Jihadist state is taking shape... and this time one with nuclear weapons.
How does the media darling want to handle that? No idea in sight, and nobody is asking The One.

So how different is that from the last 8 years of Bush cartoons? Seems to me that only the rules have changed: Before, tasteless cartoons were cool, now the Messiah must not be cartoonized.

Bush did not start the financial excess that led to this; although he certainly participated in it. But now the Democrats take it to an entirely new level. A trillion Dollar loaned from China (or printed, Mugabe-like) for government pork in the first month in office, and pushed in one night, after... drumroll... all of 10 hours time to read the entire 1000 pages.
The same thing under the Reps would have been (correctly) portrayed as a scandal. (We never heard about trillions then; now better get used to it.)
