Yeah, and no one ever seems to remember this back from 2003, when Bush argued for MORE regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, supported by the company itself but opposed by good ole Barney Frank:

Lawrence, Are you serious? George Bush set up the economic conditions. Like he got on the phone and called somebody and said..”Hey lets screw up the economy before I leave office.” The fact is the mortgage crisis was one of the main contributors of our economic fall and that was all literally “set up” by Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and other DEMOCRATS.

Of course, that was one of only several, uncontrollable forces causing economic collapse. 911, Katrina, the world economic collapse…

The truth is, government here and virtually anywhere can do very little to influence the economy. All government can do is take money out of the economy and redistribute it somewhere else and so far, Republican or Democrat, our government has a horrible track record at doing that.

GW Bush set up the economic conditions requiring most of the massive government spending we need now to get the economy back on its feet. Hugely expensive wars, lack of adequate banking regulation leading to the financial collapse, extremely expensive tax giveaways to wealthy people…

Bush and his crew were incompetents whose ideologies have led the country to disaster. Then, conservatives blame the current administration for spending the money that most economists believe is absolutely necessary to get the economy moving again.

How can you miss the man who brought us to the brink of disaster?

one of the symptoms of global warming is more severe weather patterns. warmer temperatures increase evaporation of water in the oceans which increases water in the atmosphere. more water in the atmosphere means more precipitation like the large snowfalls in dc. global warming would not melt the snow rather, it would cause more snow.

green jobs would aim to try and curtail global warming. if those jobs are successful, global temperatures will decrease and therefore decrease the dramatic snowfalls. so, to prevent being snowed in, as buck says, stopping global warming will be more successful than buck’s idea.

furthermore, increasing the use of fossil fuels will not affect the short term weather. it would contribute to the longer term climate which is the problem. global warming is about long term climate patterns, not short term weather. (just a little digression, but the conservatives who used the recent snowfall as proof of no global warming are idiots.)

this article, based on no credible logic, shows why many who argue against man made climate change cannot be taken seriously.

I think on this one that no matter who’s right or wrong about global warming, this incident is squirming on the part of the Obama administration. It really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to say that.

If you ask me, if someone who votes for/against someone and forms broad, swiping opinions of that person based on the pronunciation of a single word, they’re dumber than the candidate they ridicule for it.

This goes for everybody.

Bush isn’t the only American president to lose the “nucular” war. In his “On Language” column in the New York Times Magazine in May 2001, William Safire lamented that, besides Bush, at least three other presidents—Eisenhower, Carter, and Clinton—have mangled the word.

In fact, Bush’s usage is so common that it appears in at least one dictionary. Merriam-Webster’s, by far the most liberal dictionary, includes the pronunciation, though with a note identifying it as “a pronunciation variant that occurs in educated speech but that is considered by some to be questionable or unacceptable.” A 1961 Merriam-Webster’s edition was the first to include “nucular”; the editors received so many indignant letters that they added a usage note in the 1983 version, pointing out its “widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, U.S. cabinet members, and at least one U.S. president and one vice president.” They even noted its prominence among “British and Canadian speakers.”

I’m narrow-minded! I never understood how that was such a bad thing. Right and wrong are not necessarily “broad” things. It’s kindda hard to seriously focus on anything if you try to look too broadly.
