Bush is a heartless bastard.

This is from CNN Business News.

{The claims numbers, the latest gloomy indicator for the U.S. economy, come as Senate Democrats are seeking to extend unemployment insurance for workers whose benefits have expired.
The House has passed the legislation, and a Senate vote could come as early as Thursday.
The Senate bill would take 60 votes to pass. President Bush has threatened to veto the bill, saying it's fiscally irresponsible. }

Man of the people, rich people.

Once again the Bush bashers are out in force, you guys must me marking the days down on the calendar

The White House earlier had threatened to veto a much broader, $61 billion stimulus bill that included aid to help states maintain Medicaid benefits and new spending for public works projects, in addition to the jobless benefit extension.

Aha, the real reason he threatened to veto it, looks like he had the right position it was loaded with pork at first

You owe him an apology.

when there's no jobs.....and that takes heart.

I will right after he apoligizes to the 4,500 families with dead fathers, sons, daughters and moms that his failed policies got killed on Iraq, or the millions of folks that lost their jobs or homes do to his misguided policies. Bush is and will always be the worst president ever and a global embrassment to this great country. Just to note I am a conservative, not stupid or greedy or blind republican.

People lost their homes because they didn't pay their mortgage. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is not that simple at all. As a real estate broker I focus on short sales and the most common reason the folks I help have for losing there greatest possession is lost jobs, medical issues and of course mortgage fraud. I am sickened by the lack of compassion I see for these folks and I am reminded daily that only by the grace of God do I go forward with my life. I also read that Thomas Jefferson said a country's greatness can be measured byhow its treats its poor and downtrodden. That being the case we have fallen greatly over the last decade.
