Karen Hughes: Bush rescued the economy
By David Monday Jan 18, 2010 4:30pm

George W. Bush's former campaign director appeared on NBC Sunday to defend his record on the economy. According to Karen Hughes, Bush rescued the economy from collapse.

Speaking about President Barack Obama's successes, Mark Halperin praised the current president's handling of the economy. "I think an extraordinary job as John said under difficult circumstances. He managed the economic crisis, kept the world from going into depression," said Halperin.

But Hughes quickly took objection to Halperin's assessment. "I have to disagree with you, Mark, about rescuing the economy," she said. "I think that happened before President Bush left office when they took the action that they did on TARP."

8. That's what happens when you put people like Hughes on Sunday morning for "balance"
You get idiotic statements like this.

Hughes's Democratic counterpart that morning was John Podesta, former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton. The two journalists (for non-partisan purposes) were Mark Halperin of Time magazine and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post. Hughes also spewed the same old tired BS about health care bankrupting the government and other stuff you could easily find on Fux Snooz.

14. Come on everybody
Just remember the conservative/Republican view which is 'Anything good that happens in this country is because a conservative/Republican did it and conversely anything bad is done by liberals/Democrats'. It fits right in with there other view that being 'what reality? Reality is whatever we decide it is'. They don't spin anymore it was too much work now they just lie.

16. BURNISHING A TURD IS HARD WORK
and now THE HISTORY CHANEL just debunked the only part I believe.
THEY CLAIMED NO ONE HAD EVER PLOTTED TO HIJACK A PLANE AND CRASH IT INTO BUILDING BEFORE.
I BELIEVED THEM. NOW I FIND OUT, IT WAS A PLOT TO KILL NIXON IN 1972.
