The reporter that threw the shoe at Disaster Bush got three years in jail for the unsuccessful attack against one of the most hated individuals on the planet. 

He’s lucky, if I had been the judge, it would have been ten years because he missed both shots.

“Based on various industry reports and FBI analysis, mortgage fraud is pervasive and growing,” Chris Swecker, then assistant director of the criminal investigation division, said in October 2004 before the House subcommittee on housing and community opportunity.

Then Swecker made a chillingly accurate prediction of the coming mortgage meltdown and financial collapse:

“The potential impact of mortgage fraud on financial institutions in the stock market is clear. If fraudulent practices become systemic within the mortgage industry and mortgage fraud is allowed to become unrestrained, it will ultimately place financial institutions at risk and have adverse effects on the stock market.”

This is just one story of millions of “everyday people” faced with the aftermath of the National Disaster known as George W. Bush.  I challenge anyone to name a person responsible for more misery, death and destruction than GWB in the past 50 years.  We welcome your comments.
