U.S. President George Bush said Monday President-elect Barack Obama hasn’t asked him to seek the second half of the funds designated for economic recovery.
“I don’t intend to make the request” for $350 billion of the $700 billion package approved to help unfreeze credit markets unless Obama asks, Bush said in a wide-ranging, candid and final news conference of his presidency.
Bush said he and Obama, who takes over Jan. 20, have discussed the matter. “I told him that if he felt that he needed the $350 billion, I would be willing to ask for it — in other words, if he felt like it needed to happen on my watch,” Bush said.
Reflecting on the recession that is ending his tenure, Bush said, “I inherited a recession and I am leaving on a recession.”
“I readily concede I chucked aside my free-market principles when I was told … the situation we were facing could be worse than the Great Depression,” Bush said. “(But) we’ve taken extraordinary measures to deal with frozen credit markets (that) have helped thaw the credit market.”
He said he was pleased the financial markets have begun to move because of the $350 billion already spent and that he would be supportive of Obama’s administration working out a plan “that best suits him.”
His administration moved aggressively by taking actions “all aiming to prevent the financial system from cratering.”

We should have chucked Bush aside about 8 years ago. He is such a moron.
January 12th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
He chucked aside what the people wanted which was NO BAILOUTS! The emails and phone calls were said to be 500/1 against the bailouts which the people knew was going to be a rip off and sure enough it was with no oversight and no judicial review written into the legislation. And it aint over. They are getting ready to do it some more.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
He and Cheney need to be water boarded to find out what Rockefeller and Rothschild have been doing for the past 8 years. As if we don’t know already. Criminals against humanity.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
What I have never understood how it can be, that you american üpeople are voting for such an idiot after four years again for another four years. Are you so much blacktout by tv and hamburgerood?
January 12th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
The people said no bail outs because it was for the asshole corporations which is understandable. However, the bailouts should go directly to the people so they can zero out their debts and buy some consumer goods. Its not a hand out..its your fkin money to start with.
Besides, None of us should have to pay to live on a planet we were born on.
The illuminati is fukin up, we all know that, they know that, and the ETs know that. A rude awakening is long over due.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
What is this strange accounting for $350B. Reports all over the web and this website have documented well over $8.5 Trillion spent in the last couple months????
January 12th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
#7 impeached? obamas inaugeration is in less than 10 days.
January 12th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
#2 Now,Now the phone calls to the hill were actually 50/50…
50% told their Senators: “NO!”.. .
THE OTHER 50% SAID:”HELL NO!”
It was one of those “ambiguous” situations we pay our government to figure out…
Shrub’s gonna leave to Paraguay with a parade and without a single well earned charge on him.

Lets end this once and for all. First of all we cry about the NWO and say its all the elite’s fault and their evil and poor me. Whats going on is just as much our fault as it is theirs. They baited the hook and we bit hard. Nobody told all these people who lost their homes or are in trouble of loosing them to buy a house that they couldnt afford if some tragedy was to hit their finances. Its called living below your means and being conservative with your money. The economy would be find if people so a little restaint, and not try to keep up with the jone’s. It’s the american people who are handing our the country to these people, their not taking it. All they are doing is puting cheese in the mouse trap and waiting for greedy people to bit. Sure they control the banks, but you dont have to borrow from them. You can just merely save and buy a nice reasonable house cash or with little finace because you have at least 35-40% to put down. Now most of you will say how am i going to put away that much money. How about get rid of bad habits smoking, drinking, partying, eating out more than 2-3 times a week, cable TV(Theres a $100 or more by it self), buying cars that have $400-$700 or more notes, always in the mall or store shopping( no one needs 10- 15 pairs of shoes), buying our snot noise kids every new toy or fashion, and the number one killer credit cards, if you use more than 2-3 times a month you dont need it. Now you take away all this excesive spending and tell me what would the elite have to work with. Nothing! Your should be rulers of your money not servants. But Its not going to happen america will still buy and buy and push themselves furthur into debt until the noose is so tight it will beg for a BAIL OUT, thats when they got you. Taking to the streets will do no good, grabing a gun to fight like many of you claim your going to do will do nothing! What do you think these secret fema camps are for and the patriot act was written for! They’re waiting for it! They want you to take to the streets! Thats what this is all about, civil unrest dont be stupid! You cant take a shot gun to fight a tank! Hit them where it hurts, there pockets, thats there real control over america.

Free-market principles?
There’s nothing free about a market in which the bankers own all of the money.
All money enters into the money supply through lending – by the bankers entering numbers into bank balances. They do not own the money. The money does not even exist until it is loaned into the money supply.
All loans must be repaid, theoretically. Therefore all of the money – the entire liquid market – the entire monetary economy is in hock to the central bankers. For all intents and purposes, they own the market.
There’s little that is free about it.
And you put up with this? Or are you unaware of this?
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
~Henry Ford
You are being taken from a ride. Your hard-earned money is being stolen from you and most Americans don’t even comprehend how it is happening. Worst of all, our children and grandchildren are facing terrible times if we let this continue.
All we need to do to unseat our rulers is stop using their money. When we switch to an alternative currency their system will fall. The central banks will dissolve and their political actors will be out of a job.

He was “told”. Sums up his whole presidency. He’s a trained chimp who speaks and is “told” what to do.
January 12th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Bush is ANYTHING but a moron, I’ll tell you that
to think that a nation of people actually COULD elect a moron is, in itself, moronic
I am more than convinced that everything he does to make himself look stupid is only to distract you from the very real evil genius of everything his administration has been behind
there is absolutely no hope if the american people cannot unite
I hate to be so bleak about it, but america is completely geared to PREVENT that from happening
More than half the country believes in race, our children are brainwashed on a daily basis and cannot even recount to us “what they’ve learned in school today”, our values are nonexistent, and all mainstream media ultimately glorifies money that IS NOT REAL
WHEN will we SUDDENLY become responsible?!
WHEN will we look at the next man and know he is our brother?!
WHEN will we stop talking about uprising and TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK?!
I beg everyone gravitating on this site- GET ACTIVE!

January 12th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Not too much different than your average politician, but everything else was “chucked aside” for him AT BIRTH.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Bush is nothing more than a piece of crap with legs and a mouth. I hope he dies a horrible death!

How does this moron get off saying that the credit markets have “thawed”. maybe he means the treasury lending BOA money so the can buy more ownership of the Construction Bank of China, No that can’t be it Wezl Paulson gave them that 25B. Its got to be the 9 Trillion of unmarked bills that are circulating somewhere

I just went on Breitbart.com and stirred up their comments page on this article. They are all so blinded by the false left-right pardigm that they don’t see it for what it is. What would you say about someone who “chucked his principles”? I’d say he was a spineless coward and should be ashamed. Bush is at best a corrupt idot, and at worst a conniving scoundrel like his father. May God have mercy on them, and we pray for justice!

You all say that the bush family is bad and corrupt – so why did you all stand by and let this family get back into power?

Look Mr Man it is our duty to inform our fellow human beings about this because this type of news doesn’t get coverage from the main stream media. It is made of little significance and passed on to other so called “news coverages”. Understand that time is imminent and this is happening whether we accept it or not, These men our taking our liberties and our economy and leaving it to s--- for us while we sit here and debate about whether its true or not. We need to abolish the federal reserve bank and anyone that is for the NEW WORLD ORDER! i am for my national sovereignty are you???

I wonder if Bush “will readily concede” that he also “chucked aside” his humanity when he was told Saddam had WMDs.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Bush might as well ask for the other 350 billion. After all, it was on his “watch” that the money was extorted and his presidency is in tatters anyway. This way Obama can start out fresh.

Hello 4rm JCS, Thanks for your responce.
You say that ”this type of news doesn’t get coverage from the main stream media.” – But i hear AJ almost everyday telling us about these storys, and then saying that we should go and check it with the ”Main stream media.”
I have been listening to AJ for almost 4 years now and whilst i agree with some of the things he reports, i have found a lot of things that have been over blown and some of it, not true at all. I do my own research – and i mean real reasearch, not just searching google.
I am just so confused over this!
Wakeup – in responce to ”why did you let kings switch religions like flipping a wife”
When did that last happen? Give me a year… I bet it was long before Amarica was even founded…
And yes, I am for i am for national sovereignty!

History in this country is not accurate and this time period we just lived Thur Will become a total surreal lie. When my grandchildren get on my knee though they will hear the truth as best as I an American seeking that truth can tell them. And it will not sound like the msm. That is for sheeple to recite. I will give them the regular guys version. I will all so show them the brave posts that were typed on the INTERNET. I will try to make her see Thur the destruction of this country and planet a beauty that is natural to humans. And I will guide her away from the alienation of the people from there sanity. Basicly I will chuck out, chuckaway, or upchuck when I think about watching this circus of the last eight years and knowing that we have lost mostl of our country to the globilists
January 13th, 2009 at 10:36 am
the question is not for rhetorical purposes or for debate but to point out that for their plan to work it has to be carried out world wide and with a little research you will find that your religion is flipped right before your eyes to this very moment because any one with an iota of truth (Christ) in them cannot see it but you feel it, do not be a hipocrite or return evil for evil, for your own path’s sake

“Reflecting on the recession that is ending his tenure, Bush said, “I inherited a recession and I am leaving on a recession.”
I’m pretty sure they weren’t calling it a recession until just this last year.
“I readily concede I chucked aside my free-market principles when I was told … the situation we were facing could be worse than the Great Depression,” Bush said.
When he was told? By who?
January 13th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Enraged posted the following (#45):
“And to think that the funadmentalist born agains still think he’s a good Christian man who has done no wrong.”
I’ve been a ‘to the right of right’, fundamental and independent, Bible-based christian since 1982. Listen, carefully: ‘W’ is a traitor and criminal on more levels than I can even imagine. Not all “born agains” are stuporous morons, Enraged. Some (more every day, I pray) have awakened to the horror that has been and is to come.
I have resolved in this new year to, a. tell more people about Jesus Christ and the gospel of God’s grace, and b. warn people about the ‘NWO’ globalist efforts to turn the planet into a giant, feudalistic hellhole. I’m thinking of getting business cards (the cheap ones) printed on both sides with related messages, and handing them out to as many people I encounter. We have to be *watchmen on the wall* who will love people enough to warn them. Apathy is hatred! Amerika bless God! Semper Fi, Chris in Colorado

NO SUCH THING AS A FREE MARKET, SO LONG AS BANKS CONTROL MONEY, AS OPPOSED TO THE SYSTEM OF NATIONAL BANKING AS PROPOSED BY ALEXANDER HAMILTON IN HIS REPORTS, ON PUBLIC CREDIT (2 OF THEM) , & REPORTS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MINT, AND REPORT ON MANUFACTURERS.
