Okay, let's think about it for a second or two, if possible.

Clinton's economic team, somehow, was able to turn the enormous budget deficit that Poppy Double-You left behind into some decent SURPLUS. Then, Double-You Junior came about and totally f_ucked up the country, the economy included.

Now, smart a__es like you are squealing and screaming because Obongo is bringing back the competent technocrats that turned around the country's finances.

How stupid is that? Can you evaluate it, on a scale from 9 to 10 where 9 stands from extremely stupid and 10 is for totally stupid?

I suppose, in your non-existent wisdom, you're going to feel nostalgic about the good all double-you days when the white men and the rednecks were messing up things for everyone, regardless of race or pedigree.

Well gee, what we're seeing today on Wall Street is the magic wand Billy Boy used when, during his administration, the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed. Do some homework, you pathetic D-voting freak. That, more than anything, let loose these greedy hounds from hell that are now stealing our future.

Just to make you aware of how stupid and uninformed you are, note that the act you talk about which, WITHOUT A DOUBT, is the root of all of today's evil, was initiated by GOP's and was offered to Billy (the Goat) Clinton to sign as a veto-proof bill (check the Wiki).

Anyways, I thought that the root of all evil, which completely destroyed the world economy was the few thousand Blacks who defaulted on their affirmative action mortgages.

The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (R-TX) and in the House of Representatives by James Leach (R-IA) in 1999. The bills were passed by a 54-44 vote along party lines with Republican support in the Senate[8] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[9]. Nov 4, 1999: After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bipartisan bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8-1 and in the House: 362-57-15. Without forcing a veto vote, this bipartisan, veto proof legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999. [10]

So, let's go back to the discussion. You are stupidly bitching and moaning because Obama seems to be hiring some competent people who actually fixed the deficit problem when given a chance.

I'm afraid, my friend, that the 9-to-10 scale of stupidity on which I suggested you rated yourself is no longer good enough for you. Given the evidence at hand, you are A PERFECT TEN, as far as stupidity and small-mindedness is concerned.

Clinton signed the bill. If it was a disaster he should have tossed it back into the laps of the swine who pimped for it. Simple stuff.

The blacks you adore helped to destroy the American housing industry, not the global economy. I already took you to school on this subject. Do a search and get a clue :P

Very well, you can cover your ears and shout la-la-la-la-la and claim that you have an argument on this discussion but the facts are that you don't, even when you believe that you are on your turf. And the reason you can't win these debates is not me being so good (though that MAY be a contributing factor) but you and your crew of irrational Bushlovers being so wrong.

I never supported or voted for a Bush.

You, OTOH, voted for Kerry & Obongo, *and* you're now defending the Clinton appointees Obongo is appointing.

Isn't it time for you to get those kiddies of yours ready for Obongo Civilian Patrol?

Who on this forum supports or likes Bush? Name one person.

You sound just like the wingnut Freepers who accuse everyone who doesn't like Bush or McCain of being an "Obama supporter" or a "liberal Democrat."
