Obama: G20 brought economy back from brink

[backagain39]

OMG! This is just toooo damn funny..........the man must be living on a different planet from the rest of us.


*President Barack Obama asserted on Friday that he and other leaders of the world's 20 wealthy and developing nations took actions that "brought the global economy back from the brink" and saved or created millions of jobs.

"We leave here today confident and united," Obama said at the conclusion of a two-day summit to deal with the worst economic crisis since the 1930s.

He spoke as world leaders lined up behind sweeping promises designed to fix a malfunctioning global economic system in hopes of heading off future financial meltdowns.

The leaders agreed to leave stimulus programs in place for now until recoveries are more firm. "We must make sure that when growth returns, jobs do, too," Obama told a wrap-up news conference.

"We brought the global economy back from the brink. We laid the groundwork today for long term prosperity," Obama said.

"It is important to recall the situation we faced" in April when the Group of 20 leaders last met and when talk was rampant about a second Great Depression, he said.

In a statement issued at the conclusion of the summit, the full G-20 leadership echoed Obama's sentiment. "It worked," the statement said of stimulus and other measures taken by the world leaders.*

It's the same goddamn lie as Bush and TARP; "We HAD to do it."

Yep Larry, It;s all Bush's fault.

No. What Bush did is on him. What Obama does is on him. The big problem is Bush lead to Obama; he opened the socialist candy store. Now, Obama is using the same lie that Bush used; We 'had' to do this, 'had' to do that. If you prefer to separate Bush's from Obama's, whatever makes you feel better but, it's all the same on the national balance sheet. :shrug:

I dont think any reasonable person (or me) can argue that Bush did not open the door.

I still laugh however when the liberals, on their liberal talk radio, put Bush down for the first bailout of GM. As I remember, and correct me if I am wrong, Bush was holding off and moving slow with the bailout, the libs at the time started screamiing that Bush was going to let the industry fail, millions out of work etc...
Of course now, they act as if it was a bad idea to bail out GM and put it all on Bush.

At least, thats what you hear on the talk radio if you listen to America Left.

and I do.

THIS IS THE TEST OF LEADERSHIP; decision making.

It is a given that a leader faces squeaky wheels. Good leadership figures out which ones should be greased.

It is a given that a GOP potus WILL face incessant resistance, ridicule and opposition from the msm.

It is a given that pretty much any new government program WILL never end and will open the door for more of the 'new' same.

At the end of the day, Bush is a Churchill fan, which should have automatically disqualified him for ANY conservatives. I let this go, twice. Bush proved why his Churchill worship should have been disqualified him; Winston made decision after decision, over time, for Great Britain, based on, essentially, on what we now call 'neoconservative' ideology, that help bring on the decline of Western civilization and the end of British preeminence.

Bush has, do our great loss, followed in his footsteps.

For the sake of entertainment and shear morbid curiosity, would you mind naming me one thing you think Bush did...wrong?
