Amazing how your deep hatred colors your recollections. Trump is riding the coattails of Obama's economic turnaround.
Obama took office as the wheels came off the global economy. As toxic unsecured bad debt and underwater mortgages wiped out countless billions of dollars,
the global banking system came close to collapse. We were near a global depression similar to 1929.
But Obama's team smartly propped up the largest US banks, and our Treasury bolstered the major European banks, as the Feds pumped money into the economy to
get the financial machinery running again. Then Obama rescued the US auto industry when two of the Big Three were nearly bankrupt.
But you just sneer at the man and point to his skin color. How glad I am that your small thinking and hatefulness represents a minority of Americans.
[He] had a 'D' after his name. So the do-nothing repub congress opposed him...and the country.
Two things though: Bush got TARP passed as American socialism for the rich, lives on in spades.
Bush also started with GM with a federal loan guarantee. That's one reason the great and glorious, risk averse capitalist,
wants no part of such large financial problems and why the history of capitalism is one of a culture of dependence on govt.
and a sense of entitlement to our tax dollars. The capitalist seeks to own all profits while taxpayers own the risk.
This whole chapter in American capitalism proves there are no conservatives in Washington.
Typically like the right of today, you want it both ways, break precedent on release of taxes, stay
with tradition with no criticism by former pres. while insulting and denigrating the very people from whom you expect respect.
Hollywood couldn't write this stuff.
