Fed Chair Greenspan Slams Bush and Praises Clinton is This the beginning?

Question

Of more high profile people and experts who will proove once and for all how flawed Bush and his administration is and how destructive in every way his presidency has been?
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan slams President Bush and today's Republicans, while calling Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton "the smartest presidents" he worked with, according to an advance copy of his upcoming book.
He further says the GOP deserved the stomping it took in November's congressional elections -- a ballot that saw both houses of Congress wrested from Republican control -- because the party "swapped principle for power."

His book, "The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World," is scheduled for release Monday. CNN obtained a copy Saturday.
In the book, Greenspan wrote that Bush essentially left an unbridled GOP Congress to spend money however it saw fit, and by not vetoing a single bill in six years, the president deprived the nation of checks and balances.

"The Republicans in Congress lost their way," Greenspan wrote. "They swapped principle for power. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose."

Greenspan, an 81-year-old Republican who retired last year after five terms as Fed chairman, wrote that he made no secret of his view that Bush should reject some bills.

Answer 1

I have a feeling we are going to start seeing a lot more of this. And it's about time.

Unfortunately, I think we're stuck with "no change in direction" until the next presidential election.

May the days pass swiftly with as little loss of life as possible.

Answer 2

This crap out of bush's mouth isnt going to fly... Greenspans comments could mark a significant rebellion.. After all, when was the last time you knew a banker to agree with the peace movement?

Answer 3

This only proves that Greenspan is a libturd. Is there any doubt. He's married to Andrea Mitchell one of the biggest Bush bashers in the media.....

Answer 4

Have you noticed that it is the conservatives who have the most to say and in the most negative terms?

Answer 5

Just watched him on tv and he wasn't slammin nobody he had only praise for everyone.

precisely how is bush flawed???

two tax cuts. i spent mine but im sure you, being the good liberal extremist you are sent yours back(sic).
a smokin hot dow
the end of the union thugs controlling industry with artificially high wages and the return to market value of services and goods produced...dosent sound very flawed to me.
the gop lost a razor thin majority in the house and senate due to the pelosi/reid regime attempting to sell the american public a bill of goods about leaving iraq..PERIOD...and now, when there is no quick fix, you can see what happened to the approval rating of dear old nancy.

BOTTOM LINE...all this is is more liberal pap....this nation has plenty of checks and balances and lets not forget the main culprit of attempting to remove them....
AL GORE...not bush
or dont you remember miami dade and the do overs...
once again a liberal in desparate need of a fact checker...yawn......

Answer 7

So you think Greespan saying they deserve to lose means we should let Hilliary in power. Why did you even serve then. What was the point, she'll destroy what you fought for.
