You also left out Bush's proposed bank/insurance company bailout of $700B, which is more than triple the cost of Katrina.
You mean the democratic congress bank/insurance bailout.

The democratic congress was in the majority he couldn't do anything and besides he was a lame duck and had no power.  You fkkers seem to forget that.  :razz: He signed the bill against his better judgment at the urging of Obama after the election.

Are you high?  That happened before the election.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Why do you utilize the poor performance of one branch of government, to beat another?  :spooked:

Most of the members of Congress have forgotten that politics is the art of compromise.

Simply being hardheaded and obstructionist may appeal to the lowest common denominator of his/her constituency, but doesn't set a very good example of leadership.

And being hypocritical and/or corrupt doesn't help, either.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.
