Bush Says Economy Is Going To 'Come On'

President Bush, buoyed by a batch of economic news that wasn't as bad as expected, predicted Friday that consumers are on their way to better days.

"I know it's tough times, and I know you're having to pay more at the fuel pump than you want," Bush said. "But this economy is going to come on. I'm confident it will."

If you had listened to President Bush on the economy a year ago you'd be sitting on a bunch of devalued real estate, financed with a Countrywide loan.

That would be your "nest egg", and you'd be a "stakeholder" in his house 'o cards economy.

Poor you.

Luckily, sensible people ignored him. The majority. Maybe even less listen now. Like, three.

This is off topic - I was just watching the Jefferson Jackson Dinner on Cspan in North Carolina. The Hillary supporters are so ignorant. Hillary went first and after Hillary left, her supporters left. Cspan kept showing the empty seats. Those are the kinds of ignorant things that divide people.

"The economy is going to come on." What does that even mean? Bushspeak is usually funny yet decipherable. But this one is the other way around.

That's an British phrase, I believe. I have no idea where Bush would have heard it. I don't think he even speaks English. And the British dislike him so much that they are turning the Labor Party out after over 30 years, just for associating with the guy.

Thanks. I was wondering what I had done. When you write, there's no one to answer at the banning spot.

Bush has to be the absolute worst oil man in US history. He also likes to be like his dad - drive the American economy into the ditch.

God, I hope consumers stop spending.

They're drowning in debt. It's absolutely unprecedented how much debt they're carrying. It's insane.

President Bush is the absolute worst President in my memory at using the "bully pulpit" in a responsible manner.

I honestly can't recall a time in eight years where he called for sacrifice, or restraint, or even common sense.

It's like your neighborhood pay day lender offering unsolicited financial advice. Stay clear of this person. He wants something.

More Bush catch phrases and rhetoric, once a cheerleader always a cheerleader. He'll continue his failed ways, opposite of the truth, and putting everything off so he can blame the next guy and the hell with the truth.

You mean, don't have a viable "fourth estate," and have a Supreme Court who selects him, and institutionally rig two general elections, don't you?
