I am constantly reminded of what a scum-bag(or 2,or 6...) we have in the White House right now and for the last 8 years.
This recent Bush 'oration' was mentioned on 'Democracy Now' this a.m.
Making light humour of people losing their homes and businesses,up to their EARS in debt and then saying that his missis' Laura has "sacrificed" in the last 8 years?
This arrogant draft-dodger,failed business man and common theif,must have conveniently forgotten all the lives,and loved ones,DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN,who sacrificed,since 2003,their LIVES,LIMBS,SANITY,ECONOMY,DIGNITY and Freedom all for his and Cheney's LIES,and abuse and NEGLECT of public servant high office.
Read and wonder,fellow Americans,why is this punk STILL in OUR White House and NOT IN JAIL???

...."Bush on Economy: Wall Street “Got Drunk”
And President Bush has been recorded making light of the nation’s economic and housing woes. At a Texas fundraiser last week, Bush asked attendees to turn off their recording devices. He then said he believes Wall Street “got drunk” and is now suffering a hangover. Bush went on to address the housing crisis in light of his wife Laura Bush’s attempts to buy a home in Dallas.
President Bush: “There’s no question about it. Wall Street got drunk—that’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras. It got drunk, and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments. And then we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently not in Dallas, because Laura’s over there trying to buy a house. I like Crawford, but unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker.”
"The White House says Bush’s comments were in line with previous statements he’s made about the economy."

On the video showing him saying these words,what I found REALLY sickening ASWELL,was the amount of people in the 'fund-raising' audience who ACTUALLY LAUGHED WITH HIM! Instead of walking out with their American pride AND their check-books!
Sickening!
Oh! and Laura-lovie. I am sorry to hear of your "sacrifice".
Let's hope that your brand-spanking NEW luxury house in Dallas will ease your 'pain'!
Your punk-husband will have PLENTY of war-profits stashed away,should you need private psychiatric counselling for your 'losses'!
PUKE!
