In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, Suze Orman says that former President George W. Bush should share his wealth with the American public since he is responsible for the financial crisis.

She says of Bush:

Commander in Chief? You blew up every single financial vessel we had and if you think you aren’t personally responsible, well, the blame starts at the top. There is no higher top than you, SIR! If I were you, I would feel so absolutely horrific that I would take every penny I had and distribute it to anybody and everybody to help them in whatever way I could. You owe the American people every penny of your fortune and your family’s fortune.

I don't think even the Bush family has enough money to bail us all out of our retirement losses, but the gesture might win him some additional friends.

Bush didn't tell fannie and freddie to give ARMs to people who couldn't ever pay the higher payments when they cam due. AIG foolishly insured them and had to pay up, when they didn't have the cash reserves to pay the bills...All of this is stuff that you preach against day and night, yet, the one person who wasn't even involved in it is whom you choose to blame???
You need to check your head.

I never liked George Bush. I couldn't stand that grin on his face. I'm sure our allies couldn't either. Seems to me when things got tough he let everyone else run the country. HE LOST SELF RESPECT A LONG TIME AGO. We the American people allowed this man to run us into the ground. LEARN A LESSON FROM THIS!!! This starts with our Congressman, Mayors, Senators, etc. When they don't measure up to our expectations, we MUST vote them out of office--before they get powerful enough to run for President.
I'm not defending George Bush. He is the worst President we ever had.

I appreciate what Suze has to say and I can see she's really upset, when she's calmed down do you think she could call the white house and ask Obama not to break open my grandkids piggy banks to pay for all the spending that is going on.
