Would you buy a used car from this man?

There's a $700 billion hole in our economy caused by the Iraq War.

The President chose to fund the war by borrowing, putting it on a credit card, to use a popular expression.  He did this because he knew he couldn't convice the American people to go into an unnecessary war and, at the same time, ask us to pay for it.

The Chinese were more than willing to lend him the money, like a bookie supporting the habit of a degenerate gambler. 

To make matters worse, the President insisted on and got a $700 billion tax break for the richest Americans at the same time.  They in turn, promptly gambled it away on Wall Street, on delusional debt instruments. 

The time has come to pay for the war, the President's gambling debt.  The paper (IOUs) we sold the Chinese is guaranteed by the US taxpayers.  But  the paper (IOUs) the Friends of Bush bought, mortgage debt derivations, is practically worthless. Now we have to bail them out too? 

So we have to pay for the bad debts with taxpayer money, which is the same as paying for the war with taxes, which is what we should have done in the first place.

The President lied to us about the reasons for going to war. Now he's lying to us once again about why we have to bail out his rich friends.  The latter should rightfully be called a swindle. The former caused the death of 5000 Americans and mutilation of another 30,000. It can only be defined as an impeachable offense.

When I was growing up, they used to say "Would you buy a used car from this man?" refering to Richard Nixon.  Is it possible that this President is worse than Nixon?

Well, would you buy a used car from this man?
