Congress Must Demand Bush and Cheney Resign
From: Democrats.Com Unity
George Bush wants taxpayers to pay $700 billion – $2,333 for every many [man], woman, and child – to bail out Wall Street for its reckless investments in mortgage-backed securities. That’s on top of $800 billion for other recent bailouts, including A.I.G., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Bear Stearns.
The current financial disaster is the direct result of the Bush-Cheney Administration’s 8-year policy of deregulation, corruption, and greed.
President Clinton inherited huge deficits from George H.W. Bush but balanced the budget and even created surpluses. When George Bush stole the White House in 2001, the projected 10-year surplus was $5 trillion. But Bush immediately gave $2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, then wasted $1-3 trillion invading Iraq on the basis of lies. Now Bush wants to increase the national debt to $11 trillion.
The $700 billion plan has no transparency or accountability. Worse, the plan does nothing to fix the underlying problem of foreclosures resulting from unaffordable mortgages that were sold through mortgage broker fraud while the Bush Administration turned a blind eye.
The Bush-Cheney Administration cannot be trusted to solve the massive problems they created. Before Congress gives the Bush Administration one dime of taxpayer money for financial bailouts, Congress must demand the immediate resignation of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Henry Paulson and the appointment of Speaker Nancy Pelosi as President until our next President is sworn in on January 20, 2009.

They should have been impeached long ago…
The way Bush/Cheney was installed into office in the first place was a joke. They should have been impeached AND indicted by now.
All this garbage about impeachment being bad for the country – yeah it was SO much better to leave them in office.
WE need a WORLD court – to try them…like the Hague, for War Crimes. The world truly needs to see that most people in the United States are NOT war criminals – we have simply been taken over by pod people.
does anyone realize that you have to commit a crime to be impeached. perhaps a crime like perjuring yourself in front of the entire nation. oh yeah who was that? and by the way the finacial crisis in the mortage markets stems from changes to the CRA under the clinton administration that resulted in a decoupling of home prices from the CPI building the bubble. The crisis was poor regulation not deregulation
