I wonder where Jeff acquired all these information but they are quite interesting. These, by the way, were posted as comments by a guy that goes by the moniker “Jeff” in a yahoo article. The article can be found HERE.
Some are quite opinionated but some points to intriguing, if not reputable references. Perhaps it is part of the smear campaign. Read on and you be the judge.
This is what the Republican accomplished last at bat;
1. Presided over the loss of approximately three million American jobs in his first two-and-a-half years since Herbert Hoover.2. Overseen an economy in which the stock market suffered its worst decline since Herbert Hoover.3. Squandered universal support for the United States into worldwide condemnation after invading Iraq.4. Misled the American public about weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and supposed ties to Al Qaeda.5. Failed to follow through in Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al Qaeda originated.6. Insulted and ridiculed other nations and international organizations.7. Completely miscalculated and failed to plan for the personnel and monetary needs in Iraq after the war.8. Inherited an annual federal budget surplus of $230 billion and transformed it into a Trillion dollar deficit.9. Cut taxes three times, sharply reducing the burden on the very rich. 10. Severely curtailed the very American freedoms that our military people are supposed to be fighting to defend. (“The Patriot Act,” one of the historians noted, “is the worst since the Alien and Sedition Acts under John Adams.”)11. Called upon Americans to sacrifice for ever-lengthening tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.12. Proclaimed himself to be a conservative while maintaining big government should be able to run roughshod over the Bill of Rights.13. Incapable of capturing or killing Bin Laden.
Pre-Obama "Facts"
When Obama was running the banks were on the verge of collapse, today they are stable and small businesses (as well as large) are getting loans. This is thanks largely to TARP, as well as congressional bills like the stimulus to help small business funding.2. The economy lost 3 million jobs in the last months of Bush to push unemployment to 7.6%, in the first 3 months of Obama an additional 2.5 million jobs were lost. The unemployment was at 9.8%- since the stimulus it has come down to 9.5% and we have has 7 consecutive months of job growth in the private sector.3.
The economy when Obama took office was shrinking at the rate of 2.8% now it is growing at 1.5%.4. In March of 2009, just two months after taking office- the dow had declined for eight months and was 6,500. The stimulus passed in March...
Today the dow is over 11k, all the PE ratio’s can sustain growth to 14K and all the leading economic indicators are up. You decide...Not only has Obama been good for business but he has save a hell of a lot of pension funds. This is the reality outside of the loons in the tea party spin.While foreign money wants you to think America is on the wrong track, so they can push their outsourcing agenda, things are improving- check your own 401k and compare to March of 2009."

Bush's link with the Nazis
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.A firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.New documents show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.
Remarkably, little of Bush's dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush's business history an uncomfortable issue.Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.Thyssen owned the largest steel and coal company in Germany and grew rich from Hitler's efforts to re-arm between the two world wars. One of the pillars in Thyssen's international corporate web, UBC, worked exclusively for, and was owned by, a Thyssen-controlled bank in the Netherlands.
More tantalising are Bush's links to the Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC), based in mineral rich Silesia on the German-Polish border. During the war, the company made use of Nazi slave labour from the concentration camps, including Auschwitz. The ownership of CSSC changed hands several times in the 1930s, but documents from the US National Archive declassified last year link Bush to CSSC, although it is not clear if he and UBC were still involved in the company when Thyssen's American assets were seized in 1942.Three sets of archives spell out Prescott Bush's involvement. All three are readily available, thanks to the efficient US archive system and a helpful and dedicated staff at both the Library of Congress in Washington and the National Archives at the University of Maryland.The first set of files, the Harriman papers in the Library of Congress, show that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen.

THE REPUBLICAN MONEY GRAB CONSPIRACY FOR THE RICHTIMELINE
The ROOT of Your Anger! The Ultimate BREECH OF TRUST of the Citizens of the USA by Banks, Insurance Cos., Realtors, Builders, Rating Agencies, Lawyers, Wall Streeters, Appraisers, etc. and THE POWERS THAT BE!!! The POWERS THAT BE were Republicans and K Street Lobbyists!!!Phil Gramm - Slipped the Financial Service Moderation Act of 1999 into the 1999 Budget..Repealed parts of the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 and allowed shady Financial practices such as Dirivitives, ARMs & Interest only loans to go on Unregulated.2002 - Bush deregulated Sub Prime and allowed all financial Institutions to participate. You may remember it as Bushs “Ownership Society”@ The success of the Conspiracy depended on keeping Mortgage Rates Low so that people wouldn’t default on their Loans, giving time enough to collect as many fees as they could and getting the Loans packaged for sale on the markets with Dirivities to collect on, when the Meltdown happened!
Mortgage Rates are set by Inflation, going up and down accordingly.2002 through Late 2005 - Mortgage Rates flatlined at or below 4%.2002 through Late 2005 - Inflation rose from 1.6% in 2002 to over 3% in Late 2005.Which means that someone Manipulated the Mortgage rates, keeping them low even though Inflation rose considerably. This allowed the crooks time to sell an enormous amounts of fraudulent Mortgages, Collect Billions in fees and then to package the Mortgages for sale on the markets and lining their own pockets through Dirivities when these packages failed.Once control shifted to the Democrats, Frank was able to help guide both the Federal Housing Reform Act (H.R. 1427) and the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (H.R. 3915) to passage in 2007Republicans had similar sights set on Social Security, Health accounts, Education Accounts and Medicare.
Luckily the only other thing they sucked all the money out of was 401Ks. Obama has since put into motion stops to Republican Crookery in these areas.All one has to do, is look at, Who is benefiting from those who sucked the more than $14 TRILLION from the Economy during this Meltdown. Hedge Fund Mougels, Outsourcing Firms (some foreign), Bankers, Insurance, Drug Cos., and all Businesses effected by new Regs, contributing to BBB and the Carl Rove type Pacs, spreading Lies over the Airways, to get Republicans Elected and continue the Windfall Profits for themselves!!!Vote Republican so they can Complete the Destruction of the Good Ol USA!!!UPDATE!!! Question for all you brainiacks out there. If the Banks were covered by Dirivities and Credit Default Swaps and they collected, Why do they still own the Mortgage? Shouldn't AIG and other Insurers own them?
