We’re All Victims On This Bus; I Blame Bush
Michelle Obama's Mirror ^ | 4-3-2016 | MOTUS

Posted on 04/03/2016 7:17:05 AM PDT by NOBO2012

I see where Hillary blamed current voter anger and unrest on the George W. Bush recession, (some things never seem to get old);

And Trump warned that we’re headed towards another yuuge recession. Should that actually happen it will be blamed on George W. Bush too, as we’re not allowed to blame anything on American’s First Real Black President, or, by extension, any Democrat. To do so would clearly consist of a racist microaggresion – which in case you haven’t noticed is the new shorthand for the old  “dog whistle.” While the dog whistle proved useful in the past 2 presidential elections, it was time to replace it with something a little more generic.

Something that could be expanded to include all victims, not just victims of racism. Hence, the multi-culti “microaggresion” was born. It can be used  generically to accuse a person or group of sexism/misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia or any other phobia with a deserving victim group.

And staunch Hillary supporter, Barbra Streisand, proves that anyone, with the proper progressive mindset, can cast themselves in the victim role. A new biography of Babs reveals the icon considered herself an unloved outsider her entire life, despite serial marriages/affairs with some of the sexiest men around: Elliot Gould, Jon Peters, Ryan O'Neal, Warren Beatty, Don Johnson, Kris Kristofferson, Pierre Trudeau, Andre Agassi – and maybe Bill Clinton, butt that wasn’t in the official biography. She finally found her one true love with James Brolin. It was an improbable match as she hitched up with a guy who may possibly be the only person as self-involved as her.

Barbra had been in therapy to help her become more self-aware and learn to acknowledge other's realities. [ed. learn to not treat them like dirt on your shoes]

Brolin had his issues of learning to emote and had been enrolled in a love and communication seminar where he learned to hug. [ed. Hug? Seriously? You’re an actor, how hard can it be?]

According to the biography Barbra blames her victimhood on her mother, her grandfather, her step-father, her school-mates – both male and female – her Brooklyn upbringing and most casting directors who didn’t immediately recognize her genius.

No wonder Babs is such a yuuge Hillary fan, they have a lot in common. Both felt unloved until they made millions of dollars, both are accused of being haughty, bossy and demanding, both were pathologically ambitious, and both treat people they no longer have any use for like dirt.

Come to think of it, Barbra would make the perfect running mate for Hill!

Why do so many freepers waste their time and energy to write defenses of George Bush?

He was not a good president. And the fact that the left blames him for many things doesn’t change the fact he wasn’t a good - or conservative - president.

Most of the things we conservative blame Obama for, George Bush also did, if on a slightly smaller scale

Eg, spending. Bush gave us the biggest deficits and debt in history - until Obama’s. I could list many other examples, but I have a life to live today

The trillion dollar hit from 911 had a lot to do with that, and was being paid down until the Democrats took Congress in 2007.

And the housing mess that helped cause the recession was caused by the Democrats. Even Hillary's husband admitted that.

I've got plenty a reasons to say READ MY LIPS, NO NEW BUSHES, but the recession the Democrats caused isn't one of them.

I see you’re a bushbot, so there’s no talking facts to you. But if you have the energy, Google about Bushs program for down payment assistance to poor people. It was a big part of the housing bubble that gave us the Bush Depression of 2008-9

My point stands. The fact Gore would have been bad doesn’t mean Bush was a good president. He wasn’t. And freepers who say Bush should not be “blamed” for his many and massive failures, aren’t conservatives. True conservatism is about accountability and responsibility

Here’s the Bush press release bragging about his program to put unqualified minorities into homes for which they couldn’t make the down payment:

Bush worked hand in hand with Democrats to give us the housing bubble that blew up and created the Bush Depression

You couldn't even see the last line of my previous post to you.

But if you have the energy, Google about Bushs program for down payment assistance to poor people.

Why do I have to prove your point? If you have something you want to add, then post it and I'll read it. Don't go expecting me to prove your point for you.

I actually agree with your opposition to some of this, but other parts of this, such as increasing education so people could make informed decisions, make sense. I saw nothing that forced giving loans to people they couldn't demonstrate an ability to repay.

The failure to reel F&F in was the main cause this mess. Without it and the job losses after the Dems took Congress, we might have weathered some of the worst parts of this policy.

Lol. Snark in place of a real response. Sign that you know you lost the argument. My condolences, bushbot
