Dude controlled our economy for way too long and bailed out right before the Great Recession, which he was complicit in causing, to avoid scrutiny.

Yeah, he went to elementary school with future Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II and worked for William the Conqueror in getting England's banking system straightened out.

That’s a well known fact.

The other lesser known fact that I didn’t want to reveal on the day of his death but will now because enough time has passed is that he had horrible breath and often had white stuff build up on the corners of his mouth.

FFS, political commentary is so fricking cynical and negative.

Should he have had a shorter term? Probably.

Did he do a solid job for most of when he was there? Absolutely.

I swear, people just can’t help fixating on the most negative crap.
