Bash Our President Thread

[dcentity2000]

Bush also ruined America's reputation over here thoroughly. We were so grateful to what his Dad did when he and Gorbachev helped to make our dream come true - The German Reunification. We are still grateful for that, we are also still grateful for what the USA -and the other Allies- did for us during and after WWII.
Unfortunately the USA is not longer what it used to be - thanks to Bush and his cronies. America used to be a guardian of freedom - Bush made it appear an oilthirsty warmonger, who even condones torture. Freedom has also been considerably infringed in the USA - thanks to his handling of 'the War against terror'.
I keep my fingers crossed that in this year's election the Elephant gets his butt kicked and loses its majority. The world need an America like it used to be.

I totally agree.

The USA stood for restraint, cool-headedness, freedom, justice and tolerance.

It still does - we must never lose sight of that.

However, recent actions have brought all of that into question. Off country prisons, closed to the UN's full inspections and the guilty-until-proven-innocent mentality especially springs to mind.

Of course, we over here in the UK also had said guilty-until-proven-innocent policy too, in the darker days of the IRA; we learned that it didn't work and now have backed the terrorists away from their own guns though dialogue. It's not perfect, but it stops people from being machine gunned down in the street by the terrorists or by the police. Or does it?

Recently a young Brazilian was tracked in London by the police, sporting a guilty-until-proven-innocent policy. They followed the man into an underground station, where he stopped to pick up a newspaper and to buy a ticket. He was dressed in lightweight denim. He proceeded down the escalators to the station platforms where he boarded a train.

He was restrained, hands behind his back and was shot repeatedly in the head "executioner style" in front of a crowded trainload of passengers. At no point did the police attempt to make an arrest.

That acted as a watergate in this country. Suddenly the guilty-until-proven-innocent notions seemed as ineffective as they were against the IRA and have since been abandoned. We're a largely peaceful nation after all - police typically aren't armed and we do not execute people. Our military spending is minimal and the most disturbing thing in the news lately has been the price of natural gas; as I said, we love peace.

I'm sure that the USA also loves peace, but you wouldn't believe it when you learn of people being detained without explanation nor charge. You wouldn't anticipate it given the recent initiation of hostilities with a nation that was "not threatening" and living on "borrowed time" with a lesser humanitarian crisis than one could find elsewhere. You couldn't credit it given the bypassing of international democracy in favour of world policing.

We in Eurasia are eternally grateful for the assistance afforded to us by the United States over the years. We are worried, however, about Bush. He has dragged the name of his country down and seems to fly in the face of peace, democracy and freedom.

America is not hated in herself; it is her steward that is. Bush is not popular outside of America and Israel one bit and this reflects his actions in power to this day.

I don't know who the next President will be - (s)he could be Democratic or Republican; heck, they could even be an independent! Whatever their political stace, they will have a hard task ahead of them, rebuilding shattered bridges, repairing ties of alliance, basically re-establishing America to her former glory.

I am amazed and appalled when ANYONE defends this jerk. I don't even know how he got to be president (actually I have a pretty good idea, but I'm not opening up an old can of worms).

He's an idiot and a liar -- a very dangerous combination.

How many members of the Bush administration does it take to screw in a light bulb?


Answer: Ten


1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed.

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed.

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.

4.One to tell the nations of the world that they are either FOR changing the light bulb or FOR eternal darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the
new light bulb.

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a stepladder under the banner "Bulb Accomplished".

7. One administration insider to resign and reveal in detail how Bush
was literally "in the dark" the whole time.

8. One to viciously smear No. 7.

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along.

10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

Pres. Bush has never lied. Neither has anyone in his administration. And he is the first omnipotent President in American history! He is all-knowing and all-powerful! He is NOT, I repeat NOT, responsible for anything happening during his administration. Nor is he responsible for any thought, deed, action, error or omission. He is, in fact, perfect. No law passed or undone, no military death, no war occurring since his inauguration is at all remotely associated with his presidency. The chaos in Iraq, our dismal standing in world opinion, reduced incomes for middle-America....NOPE! Not his doing! You are correct! We've moved beyond President, beyond King, even beyond Emporer! In fact, President Bush is most probably DIVINE!

The problem with so many Americans today,IMHO, is they either don't know or have forgotten our history...therefore, they are content to accept and expect so little from this President. NONE OF US would still be collecting a pay-check after such negligience and incompetence!

Seriously, though....let's get back to funny stuff! Anyone on this thread who supports this President is doomed to consuming bottles of TUMS! Why not go someplace friendlier!

(Edited because trying to get some people to see simple truth - even when their nose is rubbed in it - is less satisfying than talking to a wall. )

This following poem is composed entirely of actual quotes from George W. Bush.

Make the Pie Higher

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
Can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!

How many members of the Bush administration does it take to screw in a light bulb?


Answer: Ten

Aloha! ~Rose~

Wrong, Heathen! Answer: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; it's conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?

Another of my favorites

Bush's Propaganda Tour

During a propaganda tour, President Bush visits a school to explain his politics to kids. He invites the kids to ask him questions. Bobby stands up and tells him "Mr. President, I got 3 questions":

1. How come, that although the count of votes was not in your favor, you still won the election?
2. Why do you want to attack Iraq without an imminent reason?
3. Don't you also consider the bombing of Hiroshima the biggest terrorist attack of all times?

Before the president can answer, the recess bell rings, and the kids leave the room. After they came back, Bush invited them again to ask questions. Joey stands up and tells him "Mr. President, I got 5 questions":

1. How come, that although the count of votes was not in your favor, you still won the election?
2. Why do you want to attack Iraq without an imminent reason?
3. Don't you also consider the bombing of Hiroshima the biggest terrorist
attack of all times?
4. Why did the recess bell ring 20 minutes early?
5. Where's Bobby?

You would only have to feel like an idiot if you still were campaigning for him

It still surprises me the number that still adore this man, although a mid 30's percentage nationwide is pretty much abysmal. I don't even think Nixon got down that low at the height of Watergate and I also believe Clinton held on to above 45 even at his worst.

OUR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED​

Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French

President Bush and a giddy Jacques Chirac shake hands on the deal.

BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.

The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.

"Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."

"This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana , we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit."

"This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again."

The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped back into the rebuilding of Iraq .
