How come the news media never reminds us how bad it was when the Democrats had the White House and Congress?
Thе last time thеrе wаѕ a Democratic controlled congress аnd a Democrat іn thе White House(77-81) wе hаd double digit inflation, high unemployment, long gas lines аnd Iran Raided ουr embassy, took hostages аnd dіd nοt lеt thеm gο until Ronald Reagan’s inauguration day οn Jan. 20, 1981. Now οf coarse уου never hear аbουt аnу οf thіѕ today bυt thеѕе аrе irrefutable facts thаt аrе being ignored bу thе mainstream media.
I saw some gas lines on the news today, I was waiting for the comparison and it never happened. I’ll never forget Iran, I worked a lot of extra hours because of that fiasco.
"….doomed to repeat it…"
"Because it never was this terrible before except for the Fantastic Depression "
You weren’t around for the Jimmy and Rosanne show. were you?
Of course you are absolutely right in pointing this out. Stay with Fox and you’ll get your honest news!
Because it never was this terrible before except for the Fantastic Depression
Just stick to FOX NEWS and you’ll hear nothing but GOOD news.
Unilateral control of all branches of government by ANY political party leads to corruption and tyranny. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
That’s one of the many reasons I will never vote for Obama.
Moreover, this Democratically dominated Congress is the least prolific, lowest approved Congress in history. Single digit (8-9%) approval rating–one THIRD that of George W. Bush’s approval rating (27-30%).
Clinton inherited a excellent economy from Bush I. He reaped the rewards of Bush I’s policies and claimed credit for them. Just as Bush II reaped the disastrous homeland security policies of Clinton that helped lead to 9/11 shortly after he took office (like a bill introduced by Democrats and place into effect in July 2001–two months before 9/11–that banned pilots from carrying firearms, when they had already been carrying them for 40 years without incident).
no these are all lies! there were rainbows and cupcakes and huge cudly polar bears..and hope and change! darnit!
why would they remind us of the recession we were in that was caused by another STUPID POINTLESS WAR- VIETNAM
you don’t expect them to rat out their excellent buddies, do you?
I guess you’re forgetting that Clinton was a excellent president and the economy was still excellent….until the Republicans got a hold of the White House…now look where it’s at.
You seem to be remembering what you want to remember without any help from the media. Why do you despise America?
They would be cutting their own throats. They are in bed with all the left-wing nuts and don’t care about those pesky facts. Better yet, Carter was President during the time you mention and Obama has been compared to Carter many times due to their similar stance on many economic and policy issues.
They also try to tag the Republicans with deregulating the financial industry, but it was Clinton that was instrumental in getting rid of Glass Steigel, the largest regulatory policy in history, and his Sec of Treasury, Bob Rubin, was well-known for bailing out all sorts of bent financial companies. Of course, the mainstream media doesn’t mention that either.
Because the media thrives on strife. So when there isn’t enough strife, they brew some up. So when the republican party isn’t terrible enough for them, they have to make it sound worse.
Nothing you or I can do will change the Media’s stance. It’s going to take a major disaster to get people on the strait and narrow. But if the return from 9/11 has taught us anything, it’s that rival factions don’t unite for long.
It’s because we didn’t have a president that didn’t get us into a war, use the CIA as if it were the KGB, ignore congressional supeonas, andencourage former employees not to cooperate with investigations.
And if gas was 1.36 when Bush took office….
that’s TRIPLE digit inflation.
As if Richard Nixon’s experiments with Price Fixing had nothing to do with the mess that Carter that inherited???
Do your homework pal!
For reasons I’ll never know, most media outlets are in the tank for the Democrats. Even though their ratings are in the tank along with the Dems, they keep beating that drum. It makes me reckon that their funding comes from sources other than Advertising….maybe George Soros knows.
Because in the last 8 years we have had 9/11, Katrina, Patriot act, and now the wall street crash. The most recent events are overshadowing your 77-81 arguments.
fluff news lies bout it i remember the clinton yrs fondly i had alot then nothin now and will vote accordinly
I’m sure they have just forgotten. Our wonderful mass media couldn’t possibly have an ulterior motive for not mentioning these small tidbits.
And in order to get through journalism school with acceptable grades, you have to become just as biased as your professors. And once in the business, you will be surrounded by like minded fellow workers. Non of which reckon it’s abnormal to be really in lock step with the liberal agenda. Therefore, anyone in the center or right of center will be labeled a "neocon" (whatever that is) and their opinion is obviously not valid.
So your argument is that being lied into a war, having the economy take a dump, losing the respect of the world, cronyism, near fascism, unregulated banks, okaying torture, a history making deficit, an obstructionist Congress, and a politically run Justice Department are excellent things? We got all of these with a Republican controlled White House and Congress. The Democrat controlled one only lasted four years. The Republicans place their idiot in for eight years after the writing was on the wall after the first four.
