Bush-43 starts it and BHO will complete it.

Rule of law under the Bush Administration has hit a new low right before he leaves town with his mistakes and miscalculations. Bush-43 using funds allocated by the 110th Congress for other failed bail-out purposes to give GM and Chrysler over $17 Billion USD so he could ride out of town without the jeers of forcing the Big-3 into bankruptcies. This will probably be one of his biggest mistakes since it will only delay their failure, not prevent it. It is window dressing, pure and simple.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I think the one thing that the Bush-43 Administration can take credit for is the fact that we have gone over 7 years without a major attack on US soil. History may say that this achievement was enough, but I say that Bush-43 has been a failure in most other areas as a Republican or conservative.

 

Under his administration and the Republican Congress from 2001-2007, the government has grown considerably in both reach and size. The debt has exploded, and on his way out of town, Bush-43 has almost entirely turned the USA into a centrally planned socialistic leaning entity. Now if Bush-43 was going into his 2nd term this may be undone by Bush-43, but now that he is turning it over to a very liberal, socialistic leaning BHO, Bush-43 will have to take the hit that he started the turn towards socialism leaving the completion of this transformation to the BHO administration and SMDC Congress.

 

This final act of overriding the Congress in giving the Big-3 well the Big-2 since Ford opted out of the bail-out monies (more on this in another post) has put Bush-43 into a category all by himself. More than any other President before him, Bush-43 has moved the country towards a form of big government socialism. Even BHO may be hard pressed to beat what Bush-43 has accomplished under the guise of "saving the country" from a depression.

 

Governments through time have always used this deception of saving someone from something to gain and hold control over their citizens. If the government can do it slowly and covertly enough, the citizenry is lulled into a sense of security and wakes up too late to reverse the changes.

 

The perfect storm of a Republican administration setting up the principles of big government central control under the guise of saving us from another Great Depression, and then turning over these new powers to an overt liberal democratic government completes the hurricane scenario. The fault lies with the Bush-43 administration since conservative/Republicans are suppose to oppose such actions and power transfers. We know that liberal/Democrats want this, but could not have come up with a better way to implement such a power grab. It was handed to them on the proverbial silver plater by the Bush-43 administration.

 

Such a sad state of affairs for the once great USA.
