Newsy, New Friends of The OPN

Great site. Great Videos

Hey folks,

Just this past Thursday, I posted this. More Signs We are Back From The Brink I said this.

If you are like me, you were confused during the Bush years. The Economy was bursting, record high home ownerships, Stock Market closing at record high numbers, Lowest Unemployment in YEARS, yet we kept being told how bad everything was. Seriously, all over the Media, there were stories of pending doom.

Then when there really WAS a problem identified in the Mortgage Industry, with Fannie and Freddie, yet ANY attempt to regulated them was shot down by the Dems. Then it was heading for bust. What did those same Dems do? PROTECTED Fannie and Freddie again. But yet, the Economy was still going right along, and would have continued had the Government NOT gotten into the Bailout Business.

TRILLIONS spent. Things are getting worse. People are still losing their Homes, Jobs, and are unable to get credit. Yet, to cover for this insanity, we have a President come out and tell us, "We are back from the brink." "We saved or created 60,000 jobs." We have the Media NOW telling us, we are doing great. "We have a ways to go, but imagine what would have happened if we did nothing." They are telling us stories of how being unemployed is HEALTHY for us. How double digit unemployment may be the new norm, and that's not really a bad thing. Maybe in the Obamanation, but NOT in America.


I went on to tell you how ten States now are facing HUGE financial hardships. Well, I go an Email from Rosa from Newsy.com who said this.

Hi Peter

I read your post about the difference between how the state of our economy has been described between the Bush and Obama administrations. I think the following video will fit well in your post:
