The article states it in a matter-of-fact way.
We all know who is running things, even if the press lies about it all the time, folks!
"Bush role peripheral on issues of finance"
Only on that one, huh?
Pffffft!!!!
"Bush is hardly the first president to find himself only slightly involved in the major decisions by the central bank and other federal regulatory agencies, which are designed to be insulated from day-to-day politics....
Or from the public eyes, more like it!
"The president seems to have been somewhat detached from the entire sub-prime crisis, with its various repercussions in the economy," said Daniel Tarullo, a senior economic adviser for Obama. "Even at this moment, they continue to resist anything that would deal head-on with the problem of foreclosures."
And yet Bush said they saw all this and were way out in front of it a couple of weeks ago!!!
See why I am sick and tired of that LYING SHIT-FUCK!!
IMPEACH and IMPRISON, dammit!!!!!
Alice Rivlin, a former director of the Office of Management and Budget during the Clinton administration, said the Bush White House is generally against market intervention "except in emergencies, and their definition of emergencies is fairly extreme. It would take a president that really wanted to intervene, and so far this president hasn't."
And what do you call all the DIVERSIONARY WAR COSTS and the UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES!
Wasn't one reason for the occupation to keep oil prices low?
Yeah, but WAR doesn't interfere with the economy, right?
All that WASTED and STOLEN MONEY doesn't have an impact, o.k.!
And the Fed PRINTING BILLIONS to BAIL OUT BANKS isn't "interference," huh?
How's that bowl of shit taste this Easter morning, readers?
Indeed, Bush warned of excessive government intervention in a March 14 speech, telling the Economic Club of New York that "it's important not to overcorrect - because when you overcorrect, you end up in the ditch."
We are ALREADY in the ditch because of you, asshole!!!!
In fact, we are OFF the CLIFF, stupid, mass-murdering shit-fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
