January 19, 2008 MORTGAGE CRISIS HITS BUSH
WACO – "I never thought it could happen to me."
From the cigar room of his west Texas ranch, President George W. Bush reflected on the state of the mortgage crisis.
“It’s lingering longer, and extendering further than anyone anticipated,” he said. “I feel for the American people because I'ma right there with'em.”
That is right, even the President’s mortgage seems to have been too much to handle in these tough economic times.
“Some guys in moving vans came to my house, and told me that I had to leave immediately. No warning or nothing.”
So what went wrong?
“I told 'em the American taxpayers were taking care of my digs,” he explained, a tear rolling down his cheek, “But I guess they bit off more than they could chew with the White House.”
Editor’s Note: When President Bush later saw that Obama was moving into the same White House that had just been “foreclosed,” Bush wondered if the new President had gotten a good deal at auction with what was left from his nearly $1B war chest or if Obama bailed himself out of the mortgage mess.
