President Bush really pisses me off sometimes. This guy has done so little to help the American people suffering on main street during his tenure has president that it has become a bad joke that gets worse and worser by the day.
The sad fact that the great people of this country face is that we have to live with this guy has our leader for just a few more months. So, please be patient, because we’re stuck with this ” Texas dude” for just a bit longer.
Houston Chronicle:
WASHINGTON — Unaware he was being recorded, President Bush at a Houston fundraiser last week compared Wall Street to a drunk with a hangover and cracked jokes about the ailing housing market.
“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,” Bush said at a private fundraiser for Republican congressional candidate Pete Olson. “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 was over there trying to buy a house today,” Bush said, to laughter.
On the video clip, which is posted on YouTube, Facebook and the ABC affiliate’s Web site, a supporter can be heard asking Bush about Crawford.
“I like Crawford,” Bush said, to more laughter. “Unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker.”
Of their house hunt, Bush said amid laughter, “We’ve been on the government pay for 14 years now. It goes slow.”
Before friendly audiences, especially in Texas, Bush tends to be more relaxed and candid than he appears at the White House.

But he’s right – and the bailout is more for Wall Street’s big-time gamblers than it is for borrowers. Without the trickery in the investment houses there wouldn’t have been funds for subprime loans, and Wall Street went on a bender and the House and Senate were serving them the drinks.
