Fmr. President George W. Bush takes aim at Obama's policies...finally (he's a Conservative again!)

Former President George W. Bush has apparently had enough at seeing the United States government take control of industries, attack capitalism, promoting socialized health care and he also talked about harsh interrogations at Gitmo.

Bush said he knows it's going to be the private sector that leads the country out of the current economic times that we are in.

Bush said he was not attacking President Obama, but instead his policies. The story is below. Is Bush a Conservative again?

Big Brother is already here

The government is watching over you. Do you realize it? If the government thinks that a company that is "too big to fail" is about to fail, they can step in and take it over. But, already, we have the government practically running a couple companies already.

The government already fired General Motor's former CEO and who knows what the government is making the new CEO do. The government owns 80 percent of AIG, yet they attacked the CEO that they put in power. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are idiots.

Now we have a senator who wants to bailout the newspapers. He wants the bailed out newspapers to become non-profits like NPR and PBS. Is this constitutional? No way! This violates the first amendment! Who's going to stand up to the government?

The Democrats, uh hem, I mean the far left-wing extremists are shredding the Constitution and want the U.S. to turn into Russia or Venezuela. You know, a country where the State owns industry and the media.

This is nuts!!!!!

We are already practically a socialist state, but are we heading on the path to communism or fascism?

Geithner has no clue

Thank you Senator Dodd. I am Tim Geithner and I am an idiot. I have no idea what I am doing. I can't do my own taxes. I have no clue on how to fix the economy. How did I get this Treasury Secretary job? I have no idea. What is money? I know I am the TARP guy, but what is TARP? Did I tell you that I am an idiot?

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner admits he has no idea what he is doing today in a press conference:

"Bailout" Bill is now 451 pages

Our government is up to something. What is in the bill? Is it all for a "bailout" or are there earmarks in it. The page length poses many questions.

Two Saturdays ago, it totaled just three pages — the White House's request for $700 billion to rescue tottering financial institutions by buying their devalued mortgage-related assets.

After an intense weekend of negotiations, the draft of the bailout legislation before Congress had swelled to 42 pages.

The following Friday, after almost a week of marathon talks between Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and key lawmakers in both parties, the working version was up to 102 pages. It went down to defeat Monday in the House, mostly at the hands of Republicans.

Once the Senate was finished adding sweeteners Wednesday to entice reluctant House Republicans to change their minds and vote for the bailout, the bill heading for passage had grown to 451 pages.

It was unclear whether it would expand still more as House leaders hunted for the votes needed to clear the bill.
