Subby, why do you hate budget balancing centrists?

Bill Clinton predicts economic rebound in one year, owing to the fact that there's a Democratic president and the U.S. doesn't have to go to war, it can just lob a few cheap cruise missiles at someone whenever a sex scandal threatens

It must suck trying to attack a "tax-and-spend liberal" who actually provided a surplus, as opposed to defending those fiscal conservatives who wrecked the economy.

Oooh, I know, bring up Lewinsky! "Conservatives" always follow that red herring.

Yes, Subby, life sucked back then. It was terrible having a job and the world not hating your guts. I remember going to bed a night saying: "Gosh, this having a paycheck is so burdensome!" and "Things would only get better if we just instituted a program of illegal wiretapping!" Yeah, the 90's were tough.

Thank god we had a real President who came along made it all better!
Does anyone have any change, or know a warm place to sleep? How about some food? Anyone have anything to eat

/What an ass

Monica Farking Lewinsky? THAT'S what you got?

heh.

Close but no cigar.

Were those the cruise missiles lobbed against Al Qaeda? You know, that organization the Republicans assured me in 1998 posed no threat to the United States, so it was obviously a ploy by Clinton to divert attention off of him?

oooooh this thread is gonna rock!

/cruise missiles are not cheap

ragekage: Were those the cruise missiles lobbed against Al Qaeda? You know, that organization the Republicans assured me in 1998 posed no threat to the United States, so it was obviously a ploy by Clinton to divert attention off of him?

Eleventy billion times this.

someone

Ahh yes someone, aka, bin Laden. Clinton tried to kill him before Republicans ever heard of him, he didn't need 9/11 to tell him he was a threat.

Of course, back in those days blowjobs were the only concern and bin Laden was just, "someone."

Oooh, I know, bring up Lewinsky! "Conservatives" always follow that red herring.

Clinton had a "budget surplus," not a surplus. His proposed budget was less than revenues, but was offset by supplimental spending bills, and in the end, Clinton had a deficit every year that he was in office, and every year the debt went up.

Hint: by definition, if the debt goes up, you have a deficit, not a surplus.

Um, OK...It must suck trying to attack a "tax-and-spend liberal" who actually provided a BUDGET surplus, as opposed to defending those fiscal conservatives who wrecked the economy.

Yeah, the bj was a real crisis. At least Clinton got his from a female.

Purely, for antiquarians among us:

I love you Bill, but I don't think even the people who crafted the bill are that optimistic.

Yes, but because of that blowjob, Rehnquist got to put those cool custom gold stripes on his judicial robe. Those stripes show how extry-spayshul he was and how detrimental this whole 'lying about a blowjob' was to the security of the nation. I miss those extry-spayshul gold stripes. Of course, steering us into a fruitless and counter-productive quagmire in Iraq while shredding the Constitution and sinking the economy, these things do not merit the extry-spayshul stripes. No, no, no. But I am hoping that one day soon Barack Obama will be accused of lying about sharting in his pants at a G7 meeting so we can all watch Justice J.G. Roberts don his Soup-Ream Court judicial robe replete with extry-spayshul gold stripes.

I hated how I could criticize Clinton and not be considered a terrorist who was trying to undermine the country.

I also loved how Clinton may have done pot, and all the press the republicans gave that. And I absolutely loved how the republicans gave us a virginal president who never broke any laws or did drugs ever. Because ultimately, that matters so much to them.

submitter: Bill Clinton predicts economic rebound in one year

Not if the market keeps dropping every time Obama or one of his appointees open their mouths.

BTW, is it even possible for the DOW to hit 0?

Imagine sucking so bad for 8 years that even Bill Clinton starts scoring shots off you.

"Conservatives", seriously... how do you not sit in a warm tub and open your wrists ?

..Since the idiocy of Submoron's cruise missile jabs has already been noted several times, I will invoke the Theory of American Economic ADD: This theory states that at some point in the not-so-remote future, people will get bored of the "OMG BE TERRIFIED, DON'T DO ANYTHING THE WORLD IS ENDING" rhetoric emanating from major media, and one of the 80-85% of people still with a job is gonna say, "fark this, I'm buying something" and so it shall begin. If this theory does in fact pan out, you all will get a 5% reduction in my newsletter price by entering this thread number upon checkout.

The only thing left for repubs is to try to ramp up the terror and do whatever they can to sabotage this for as long as possible in some sort of cynical power grab at the expense of the very power they're grabbing at.

Yeah, I'm going to trust the economic advice of the people who blew any even remote chance of getting through this correction in a softer manner by embarking on happy-fun foreign policy adventures while shoveling dollars down the throats of the top 1% of income-earners.

Despite what CNBC or Fox Business may have told you, the DJIA is not representative of the economy at large.

I enjoy making fun of Clinton as much as anyone. But your headline, while citing certain truths...well, it sucks. To be troll-tastic, you need to draw the reader into your web. I totally admire your effort, but damn son, refine the troll-fu.





Work on it, son.

//Clinton rode a bubble; you can credit Alan farking Greenspan as much as you can credit Clinton for the prosperity of the 90s

The butt hurt in that headline is analtastic.

Meant to add that I voted for Dole in '96, after Clinton in '92. That guy was, at the time and IMHO, the last great hope of a thinking GOP. Have not since voted for anything tying to fit an elephant's trunk in my ass. Stay Cool, GOP.

Subby fails!

If only someone had given W a BJ...

Clinton is delusional. Thanks to the massive spending of government we'll be lucky if we rebound within a decade.

You and your ilk pontificate on here all the time "Get over it, you lost". Well, I didn't lose, my candidate didn't lose, but your candidate won.

So get over the Bush bashing, your guy won and is the most powerful person in the world- it's time for him to get to work. If Obama et al can't resurrect the country's economy, Obama will be an epic failure and you have to accept that blame for him, using your logic that the POTUS is responsible for all things under the sun.

Yes, the magical dot-com and real estate bubbles that he helped precipitate.

Keep in mind I haven't come out and defended Bush over anything. Quit thinking your guy is so damned perfect and all the politicians on the other side of the isle are all wrong. EVERYONE should be held accountable here because it's ALL their faults.

Guess that's why the Republicans are doing everything they can to try to stop every measure. It's their only hope after destroying the place.

Stopping the blame on Bush & the GOP is like forgetting about bin Laden's role in 9.11. NEVER FORGET.

Sorry, couldn't hear you. It's hard trying to listen to someone talk out of his ass.

Bush was never "my" president (in the doucehbag sense that you mean it; technically, he was "YOUR" president, too). I wouldn't have wanted ANY of the banks or car makers to have gotten bailed out. I think it sets a terrible precedent and that the ramifications of this hideous spending bill will be felt for years to come.

Stop putting words in my mouth, and take Clinton's dick out of yours.

ramathorn83: If one man can wreck an economy, then yet another should be able to fix the economy, right?

Of course. I can wreck a car in a few seconds with no equipment or help. I'm sure you can restore it to it's original state with the same conditions.

Sure, if he had the blueprints, the right materials, and the right kind of guidance from knowledgeable people.

Obama's taking apart the engine and throwing the pieces at the doors trying to make the dents and gashes go away. Well-intended, but all it does is makes the problem worse--not only do you have more gashes, but the engine doesn't work.

My God, son, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about! I know, I know- you're wondering what gave it away.

At least the man put people into his cabinet who know what the fark they're doing a little. Dubya didn't even try. I'm not entirely convinced on the stimulus being the right plan, but considering your Republican friends who so desperately want the country to fail crammed/slashed a bunch of stuff in/off the bill, I'd say they share all of any blame you'd like to place.
