What a tool posted by Dookie The Webmaster 6:09 AM Bush Blames Democrats for Sliding Economy President Bush today blamed Congress for many of the nation's economic woes, charging that lawmakers have blocked his proposals for dealing with problems ranging from soaring gasoline prices to the increasing cost of food. In a news conference at the White House, Bush declined to characterize the economic troubles as a recession, saying he would not get into a debate about "words" and would let economists decide the terminology. He also was noncommittal on a proposal -- backed by two presidential candidates -- to suspend federal taxes on fuel in order to provide some relief to motorists and truckers who pay an average of $3.60 a gallon for gasoline and $4.24 a gallon for diesel nationwide. On foreign policy issues, Bush insisted that "we're making progress" against a "very resilient enemy" in Afghanistan, said he was "perplexed" by the House's decision to block a free trade agreement with Colombia and expressed confidence that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) would succeed him as president and carry on his global war on terrorism. The main theme of the news conference, however, was the economy, and Bush wasted no time ripping the Democratic-controlled Congress on a range of issues.

	He said it with his usual condescension, too. "Ya gotta understand..." - oh, I understand. I understand you engineered this whole thing with your buddies so you can reap the windfall and fly off to Paraguay on January 1, 2009. People actually believe this garbage, too. "Well, the President said it so it must be true." posted by Anonymous at 9:08 AM


	I can't understand why these wimpy Democrats don't impeach this bastard. posted by md at 11:54 AM


	I think impeachment now would be impossible. It would be nothing more than ceremonial since it isn't likely they'll get cooperation from anyone and the Justice Department (and Supreme Court for that matter) isn't likely to help. They should have done it last year. But even then, the options were pretty bleak. The line of succession is just not encouraging. Impeaching Bush and Cheney would put Pelosi in the big seat and I don't think that would actually get us anywhere. Everyone in the administration has been appointed by Bush. A Democratic President in a Republican administration just isn't going to get very far. The corruption is so deeply entrenched, only a completely new administration will get us out of this hole. Unfortunately, that means waiting for an election and hoping the Republicans don't steal it again. posted by Jenna at 12:56 PM
