Bush Compares The Financial Crisis He Created To The Terrorist Attacks He Never Saw Coming

Today, President Bush gave his first substantial comments on the current economic crisis, trying to reassure the American public that his administration has a plan to get through it. Toward the conclusion of his speech, he cited the financial crisis in the same breath as terrorist attacks and natural disasters:

We’ve seen that resilience over the past eight years. Since 2001, our economy has faced a recession, the bursting of the dot-com bubble, major corporate scandals, an unprecedented attack on our homeland, a global war on terror, a series of devastating natural disasters. Our economy has weathered every one of these challenges, and still managed to grow.

1. BASTARDS!

These bastards have had their chance and it's been one disaster after another. I know the government didn't cause hurricane Katrina, but there lack of action was immoral! I wish this Bastard had been impeached.
