Bush says coordinated action saved world economy

Posted on 10/13/2009 10:09:18 PM PDT by Chet 99

Coordinated international action helped save the world from the financial crisis that erupted last year, former President George W. Bush said Wednesday.

"We intervened early, we intervened aggressively and we intervened together," Bush told the World Knowledge Forum, an annual conference sponsored by a South Korean business newspaper. Bush added that it remains unknown what would have happened had action not been taken.

"I believe because of close coordination and the willingness to act in the face of financial danger that the interjection of capital into the financial system helped save our economies," Bush said.

Obama is so bad that I sometimes forget about what I did not like about Bush. Here’s a reminder.

So here Bush admits he doesn't really know if he/they saved anything and they may well have wasted tens of trillions of dollars.

The financial collapse was orchestrated for a political agenda. That’s the fact Jack.

Well George, maybe from where you sit and what you knew. But from where We the People sit and what we know, all you politicians in DC were and still are the problem.

George Bush's problem was he was willing to make a Faustian deal with likes of Ted Kennedy. We live to to regret it.

Exactly! I thought to myself, “you really don’t miss him...you just think you do because his successor is so bad.”

Bush has done so much damage to conservatism and free markets. It’s a shame really. What’s really frustrating is that people can’t see the similarities between what Obama is doing and what Bush did to the economy (Obama is worse, but that doesn’t mean Bush was practicing laissez faire capitalism).

The economy is not saved. All that is saved is the wealth of investment bankers and fat cat CEOs who ran their companies into the ground.

"Bush has done so much damage to conservatism and free markets."

You could name a lot of other Republicans as well. Any Republican that offers some BS bipartisan counter offer to this health care nonsense should be booted out of office. The federal government has no authority to stick it's nose into this matter.

And I believe you, Mr. Bush.

(Of course, I still believe in the tooth fairy too.)

We’ve fallen off the cliff. It is just going to be awhile before we actually crash at the bottom, but crash we will.
