      A decade, and a trillion, maybe.

      Still, old man Bush coulda sat back and said nothing.

      This is the equivalent of a slap in Dubya’s face, wiping that smirk off.

    Rummy, darth,and Hdudya all got their grips on the government under the same appointed president. Gerald Ford.

    And when thinking about NAFTA, remember
    more republicans voted for NAFTA than
    Democrats before President Clinton signed it and
    the NAFTA agreement was actually initiated with
    Canada and Mexico by Pres. George H.W. Bush before
    he left office.

      the votes for NAFTA by the gop far out #rd the dems

      and it looks like the competition is here to stay ( but not the profits ) don’t forget all those tax loop holes too.

      its not too late to feel the burn !

        And when they first did NAFTA they didn’t expect the workers to get the shafta.

        • robert November 5th, 2015 at 19:53

          oh they were TOTALLY aware what would happen after nafta was passed and it didn’t include blue collar or most of the middle class.

          look up who voted in favor of it and you will see some familiar names

          • Tim Coolio November 5th, 2015 at 20:15

            Workers that were hurt, remember it was started by REPUBLICANS!

              i had a friend who was wiped out from his mortgage company because the corporation farmed out the jobs to the Philippines. so white collar took hits too.

    The pointing of the finger from the GWB fiasco is going to go on for a long time and Cheney has already blamed Obama for dropping the torch hoping for deflection.

    The GOP will never accept reality. Even the death of over 100,000 people has no effect on them. They will happily embrace the damage done by war criminals Bush and Cheney, then dedicate entire “news” casts attacking President Obama for riding a bicycle.
