If George W. Bush Was an idiot

[softballmafia]

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position 32 or more Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?


If George W. Bush had spent more than all the Presidents combined since George Washington, would you have approved?


So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 months -- so you'll have 3 years and 2 months to come up with an answer.

If the Republican party weren't such idiots, they would have remembered from the Bob Dole fiasco that you don't pick a candidate for President because it's "his turn" and he's paid his dues.

Better than picking a candidate that had previously done NOTHING. And you don't think the dems picked O because they thought it was his turn?

No, they picked Obama because they thought it wasn't Hillary's turn ... ... Guess the Republicans couldn't find anyone who finished lower in their class or crashed more planes than McCain ...

Or anyone more liberal...the one trait which virtually guarantees Republican mediocrity.

This country has never needed a Ronald Reagan (i.e., a principled conservative and unapologetic American) so desperately.

I enjoy the banter back and forth as much as anyone and I don't think you meant any harm. But it does bug me a bit to see that description of a guy who went through what McCain did in Vietnam in service of this country. I have no problem with attacking/joking about McCain's politics, intellect or just about anything else. I just literally feel sick to my stomach thinking about what he went through in a POW camp and have it referred to as crashing planes.

This is probably a sore spot with me because I used to work with and became friends with some Vietnam fighter pilots. My job involved understanding as much as possible what they went/go through during a mission. It wasn't/isn't trivial. It's some serious sh*t that is beyond people's imagination.

I have no right or interest in trying to censor anyone. I'm just voicing my opinion.

Respectfully,

Whoa now...low blow bro'....surprising from you GERONIMO.

I understand they take the real dumb asses in the naval academy. And crashing a plane after dodging bullets? Getting shot down? How dare he!!! Years as a P.O.W.??? I'M WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN!!!

O man's and Hill's military history...defending you and me??? Let's see...

O man

Nope..I must have missed that service to country you're so quick to dismiss in McCain's case.

Just like this country elected O-boy because stupid white people thought it was a black man's turn to be president. I'm sure they feel real stupid now, but at least they can say they are not racist anymore

[Skarp]

...but at least they can say they are not racist anymore

Racism...lol. What a joke.

The great irony of "racism" in this country is that the only ethnic group that has actually embraced an ethos of tolerance is also the only group that ever gets accused of intolerance.

I was being incredibly sarcastic.
