Notice how they talk about 'the Fed' and not the Obama administration.

Remember that Schumer triggered a bank run.

George W. Bush was president for the entire duration of 2008.

The Obama Administration didn’t start until January 2009, after these events.

Why would they? Obama wasn’t in power during the crash. What he did was make things worse *after* the crash.

This is deceptive. The cause of the 08 crash was the sub-prime mortgage bubble popping. The cause of the sub-prime mortgage bubble popping, was the US Government pumping up the sub-prime mortgage bubble untill it popped. The cause of the bubble popping at that particular time may well have been the Fed’s effect on the liquidity of the banking system; that is not so easy to tell. But when you inflate a bubble like that, you make the crash inevitable. Only the timing can yet be influenced.

Obama was not yet in office but we know who the swamprats wanted elected. The timing of that cash was way too suspect for me.

We know the FBI will target citizens for a political agenda. We now know the FBI and DOJ will target conservative candidates for their agenda. I’ve never trusted the CIA after they told W Bush that WMDs were a “slam dunk” in Iraq. The CIA couldn’t be found for comment after we went in.

Washington DC is filled with over 90,000 lawyers. About 1 in 10 in DC are lawyers. These aren’t the ambulance chasing kind. These are swamprat lawyers on the payroll. They feed off the taxpayers in one way or another. They’re destroying our nation.

Well, Bush “was” the President in 07 and 08. He had to go.

And, by the way - and unnoticed in most of this analysis - Pelosi took charge in the ‘06 election, so she (her staff) “ran policy” and pushed energy prices UP to “fight global warming”. It was the rising power prices, gas prices, and oil prices in 07 that hurt the whole economy i 07.

THAT turned off the tap of money that had been propping up the previously rising house market which tripped the

Bush stood by and did nothing in 06, 07, and most of 08.

‘08 was an election year, and the crash was significant in swinging the election to Obama.

So, Who benefits?

I knew then it was to influence our elections. Never really much of a doubt.

Wait till the school debt crisis hits. At least with real estate there was a building left to sell.

“Accident or on purpose.”

That’s what I’m thinking too. We now know that Bush is a globalist, no borders elitist rino. Was this crash designed to make republicans look bad and the democrat candidate Obama look good even though we couldn’t find out anything about him?
