The Future President, Donald Trump

People forget it was the policies of the Democrats during Bill Clinton's Administration that brought on the recession of 2008 with their subprime lending policies. Usually after big recessions come big rebounds, not so with the Obama Administration and their war on big business and the coal industry. During the Obama Administration economic growth averaged 2% a year and the latest figure is 1.2%, less than half what it was projected to be. And let's not forget how Obamacare has cost the American public in higher Health insurance premiums. Obama has been nothing but bad for the economy and Hillary won't be any better.

@giujohn,

Eight years of Bush's wild spending and lavish tax cuts for the richest, and mounting two extensive ground wars on credit had a lot to do with the state of the economy in 2007.

The recession of 2008 came seven years after Bill Clinton left office. You mean in all that time the Bush Administration couldn't see that something was up and start doing something about it? You can't sit on your hands for years and watch something happen then scream like a stuck pig when it occurs. Nobody will take you seriously.

3,753 members of the Wharton community sent Donald Trump an open letter - denouncing and disavowing him. You know how much he loves to say "I went to Wharton; I'm a really smart person"?

In point of fact, Bush's party, the Republicans, did have control of the House of Representatives for six of those seven years after Clinton left office.

Don't you remember? The Republicans chose Dennis Hastert as Speaker of the House.

By the way, what's the GOP leader who was in charge of the House, (where all the spending bills originate) up to these days? Well, he's going to be sitting around doing nothing for the next year or so.....

Dennis Hastert Sentenced to 15 Months, and Apologizes for Sex Abuse
By MONICA DAVEY, JULIE BOSMAN and MITCH SMITHAPRIL 27, 2016

CHICAGO — J. Dennis Hastert, once among the nation’s most powerful politicians, was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 months in prison for illegally structuring bank transactions in an effort to cover up his sexual abuse of young members of a wrestling team he coached decades ago.

In a hearing that was by turns harrowing and revelatory, Mr. Hastert publicly admitted for the first time to abusing his athletes, was confronted in emotional addresses by one of the former wrestlers and the sister of another, and faced a long, scathing rebuke from the judge.

Mr. Hastert, 74, who made an unlikely rise from beloved small-town wrestling coach in Illinois to speaker of the House in Washington, sat slouched in a wheelchair in a federal courtroom here as a judge announced that he was rejecting pleas for probation from Mr. Hastert’s lawyers, as well as prosecutors’ endorsement of a shorter prison stay.

While the sentencing hearing was, technically, about a violation of banking rules and regulations, the proceedings focused squarely on the underlying reason for Mr. Hastert’s puzzling bank withdrawals — his abuse of young wrestlers who had viewed him as a role model.

“The defendant is a serial child molester,” said Judge Thomas M. Durkin of Federal District Court, as Mr. Hastert sat impassively, often staring downward, hands crossed on his lap. He added, “Some actions can obliterate a lifetime of good works. Nothing is more stunning than having ‘serial child molester’ and ‘speaker of the House’ in the same sentence.”

Mr. Hastert was not charged with sexual abuse because statutes of limitation for acts in the 1960s and ’70s have run out; the judge noted pointedly that punishment for such a conviction would have been far worse.

Illegally structuring bank transactions to keep such abuse secret — the felony count to which Mr. Hastert pleaded guilty — carried a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Great leadership choice there by the GOP. The country's finances were in the safe, firm hands of Dennis Hastert during the time Bush43 was leader of the Republicans.

@giujohn,

Dredge it up? Look at the crap the Republicans dredge up on these boards from years ago-Hastert just got sentenced this spring.

Oh, and Hastert was Speaker of the House for the first six years of Clinton's eight years in office. For that to happen, the Republicans had to be in the majority.

Once again I've asked you to check your facts and you keep hitting on the fact that we had a majority in the house... By the way by a razor-thin majority... And since you're to obtuse to understand my offer to recheck your facts I'll give you a hint , who controlled the Senate during George W Bush's first seven years?

They are not patriots. That is for sure.

Patriots?

Hillary and the liberals hate the Constitution and are devoted to violating civil rights.

Mr. Trump wants to defend the Constitution and civil rights.

All the patriots are voting for Mr. Trump.

As all you conservatives have said on this board, the House is where all the spending bills originate. If you didn't know that, I told you that a few posts ago. However, the House during Bush's terms were mostly Republican, so now you're going to try to switch gears and say, "Of Course Everyone Knows the real power in the government comes from the Senate!"

Typical.

Well all the Russian patriots are, that's for sure. American patriots? Maybe not. The more Trump opens his mouth, the more he makes it clear that he intends to be the best American President that Russia ever had.
