Default President Bush Shoots America the Finger

"I know the people dont want this... but im doing it anyway" President Bush said with the stroke of a pen, signing over 14.4 billion dollars of our money to these anal sphincters

It is officially time for our government to be removed... again

That's twice now. First time, "The Constitution is just a GD piece of paper".

He has sold us down the river to the globalists, and now this.

3rd times acharm to me. Grab my flag with the stars in a circle, and the other one with an eastern diamond back on it with the caption DON"T TREAD ON ME on it, and my musket.

Say hello to the us.gov cannon shell before it tears you to pizza toppings.

There is no way in hell and I repeat NO WAY IN HELL a violent revolution will EVER work again. You cant buy stingers you cant buy M1s you cant buy longbows... And you can't buy equipment.

Want to do something about it? Publicly pledge to never buy American again. That is the best you can do as it seems Obama is just stepping up to enjoy the power Bush carved for the central gov.

I'd say that would be punishing your fellow citizens but won't do much against the central government. They'll just get their money from taxing imports.

And risk alienating the world and Wal-Mart?

Very funny!

You can't just slap a tariff down in the middle of a recession. It is hostile and will only be met with tariffs from the other side which will harm American business more.

Wal-Mart is of course partially a joke but not too much so considering how many Americans will go nuts if prices jumped at Wal-mart.

Frustration brother, frustration. As far as boycotting my bretheren goes, there ain't much left out there that's domestically made. You have to look far and wide for it anymore. the other thing to do is what this gentleman suggests.

It is simple. Instead of buying a Ford or GM buy Toyota or even better a Mini or something.

I have no loyalty to the US car industry. They have stopped at little to prevent technology from rocking the boat over the years. They deserve to perish and boycotting them is the fastest way to end these bailouts (After they are back for their 5th)

Since I had to shut my business down back in May, I haven't found any work. So buying a new car is out. I will have to hook up the boat to the little BroncoII and head back to Michigan as that's the only place I have family left. And the y don't want me to wind up on the streets. So hoefully I can land a driving job there. I have 6 years of mountain driving in commercial vehicles in all sorts of weather from blistering heat to blinding blizzaeds. And not one blemish mark on my driving record. And the boat wasn't new either. It is a 1966 aluminum runabout.

I think Ford declined as they asked the CEO or one of the bigwigs if they would be willing to work for 1 dollar for the year, and the response was no. I don't see what the problem is, the guy made like 21 million last year.

That does not matter. The president is acting on his own. Congress shut down the bailout bill period.
The Republicans in Congress shut it down. Good for them. The Democrats wanted to shove it through.

It's too bad Bush went with the Democrats on this one.

History is going to be very unkind to this administration.

They are attempting to blame the president for signing an auto maker bailout bill created and sent to him by a Democrat controlled Congress.

I'm glad Bush pushed through this emergency loan package for the auto industry. It may have something to do with the 5000 shares of Ford (F) stock I bought 11/25, but I also think the US needs a viable auto industry. We cannot keep shutting down all our industries, people. Pretty soon all we'll have left are Wal-Mart, Starbucks, and McDonalds.

I have less than no respect for most American companies but keeping them in business is directly related with keeping the global economy from going to bits
