Going into Iraq wasn't his fault. It was bad intelligence ... Katrina wasn't his fault. Who could have seen levees breaking? ... Sky high oil prices? Not his fault either ... Now Bush is blaming the economy on Wall Street.
After asking those present to turn off the cameras at a fundraiser in Houston President Bush blamed the problems in the economy on Wall Street. "There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk ... now it's got a hangover."
If Wall Street got drunk, Bush would be the first one to know. He was the one pouring the drinks ... "Here, have another tax break, you can never have too much of my 'No Tax Rotgut." Now, with the economy staving off disaster with Fed-induced cheap money, Bush wants to offer another stimulus plan ... you know, because the first one worked out so well.
No only did Bush pour the drinks that got Wall Street drunk, but he's not even trying to take the keys away. In fact, with his "make my tax cuts permanent" plan he's pushing "one last drink ... for the road."
The problem is that when everyone wakes up it's the American taxpayer who will pick up the tab for Bush's Drunks of Wall Street.
