I know its hard to believe but georgie boy is apparently the best president us oil money could buy. I cringe every time i see this boob on tv knowing that the rest of the world is drawing conclusions about american citizens based on his example. As far as foreign relations, a magic 8 ball could do a better job. In fact if i had a chance to vote and the candidates were georgie boy and a magic 8 ball, the 8 ball would get my vote every time. I think that we would all do well to remember that this is the president who was nearly slain by rogue pretzel, apparently the man isnt smart enough to be trusted to chew and watch tv at the same time. This is the leader of what is currently the most powerful nation on earth, but not to worry, with his economic and foreign policy genius the us will be just another third world nation in no time.
I'd better like it to be as in Bill Clinton's time. it would be no fun to see the US as another 3rd world country and it is a tragicomical tragedy- the president you've got I'd feel really really ashamed and embarrased if I was an american now, because it is right - your president represents the whole american nation as a whole. I know there are many many dumb americans, but my hope is that they all are not like that. Sciforums is a nice example to meet people like that and a nice place to see some really stupid americans also (no naming here) but as dumb as a country can be, it doesn't deserve a president like Bush. (don't forget that 1/2 of americans voted for Bush)

Did we? A conservative appointed supreme court stopped counting while bush was still ahead after election irregularties in a state where <i>his brother</i> is governer. Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk. -- Thoreau Smells fishy to me.
Bush makes stupid comments, okay we've know that since he first opened his mouth. Here's something interesting though; Before the election, Bush and the REpublicans called Clinton's use of White House as a guest house. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/19/national/19BUSH.html Yet.....

See, he doesn't get up there and kind of try to wag his finger to figure out which way the wind is blowing. _ -- Pickering for Congress Luncheon, Jackson, Mississippi, Aug. 7, 2002 _ I love to speculate about what was going through the enemy's mind -- what were they thinking when they hit America. They must have thought that we were so materialistic, or self-absorbed, or shallow, or so worried about our own prosperity, our own individual wealth that we were unwilling to serve something greater than ourself in life, that when the enemy hit we would just kind of make noise and do nothing about it. _ -- The newest version of a repeat Dubya classic, which in the past included references to daytime TV or filing lawsuits, Jackson, Mississippi, Aug. 7, 2002 _ Believe this or not, fortunately, she was getting toxic and the doc induced labor before he quit his practice. _ -- Yeah, that sounds really fortunate, Madison Central High School, Madison, Mississippi, Aug. 7, 2002 _ The best of America was also represented in the technology and know-how of our mine safety folks -- those who, on a moments notice, used their skill to devise a way to save life.

That's what a patriot is. _ -- Dubya surprisingly admitting that the Pledge of Allegiance is not a litmus test for patriotism, Greensboro, North Carolina, July 25, 2002 _ I want to thank Tom Ridge for coming.

Now they're here, and I want them to stand up here in a minute. But I want to describe to you their hearts. _ -- Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan, July 18, 2002 _ I'm sorry the room is so small.

And by the same token -- DUBYA: That's hypothetical. REPORTER: But can the American people expect that? Should they expect that? DUBYA: That's a hypothetical question. They can expect me not to answer hypothetical questions. REPORTERPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!n Osama bin Laden does your promise still -- DUBYA: On sensitive subjects. (Laughter.) REPORTER: Sir, on Osama bin Laden, does your promise still hold that he will be caught, dead or alive, at some point? DUBYA: What? Say that again?

If he's not alive, we got him. _ -- Clear evidence that Dubya's grasp on the meaning of the word "hypothetical" (other than being a means to deflect pesky reporters) is tenuous at best, White House, July 8, 2002 _ And I want to thank the Morella men for allowing Connie to serve our nation and encouraging her to serve our nation. _ -- Apparently Dubya still lives in a world where women need permission from the men of the family before they do anything, at Friends of Connie Morella for Congress luncheon, Washington, D.C., June 28, 2002 _ I just came from a strong exercise class. Thankfully, I didn't have to join. _ -- In speech promoting physical fitness to senior citizens, Orlando, Florida, June 21, 2002 _ But Mel's mother and daddy -- Mel's mother and dad put him on an airplane to come to America when he was a young boy, because they didn't want his son growing up in a country that wasn't free. _ -- Who's son? The young boy's son? I'm confused. On Housing & Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez, Atlanta, Georgia, June 17, 2002 _ As I said in the speech to West Point, the coalition we put together has hauled in over 2,400 people. And you can call it 2,401 now. _ -- This means that between the West Point speech and this statement, the coalition had hauled in half a person? Interesting. White House, June 11, 2002 _ I believe, I believe this country, I know this country is a fabulous country. But I believe we've got great days ahead of us. I believe that by being strong and tough that we can achieve peace. I believe that. I sincerely, honestly believe it.

Kansas City, Missouri, June 11, 2002 GREGORY: I wonder why it is you think there are such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration?

[In French to President Chirac:] And, Mr. President, would you maybe comment on that? DUBYA: Very good. The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental. GREGORY: I can go on. DUBYA: I'm impressed -- que bueno.

And I'm glad. But these will be people, evidently, from all around the country. I haven't seen the list, but I'm told that they are. And I look forward to thanking them -- it's really a way of thanking people, many of whom I -- I suspect I haven't seen since I've been the President.

It doesn't matter what your political party is, as far as I'm concerned. What matters is -- in this case, what matters is he does -- he kind of defeats cynicism by performing. And therefore, what I was going to say is, it doesn't matter what your party is, you've got to admire that in a man. _ -- Some extemporaneous fumbling in reference to New York Governor George Pataki, Wilmington, New York, Apr. 22, 2002 _ One victim put it this way: "They explained the defendant's constitutional right to the Nth degree.

Another confusing statement from the king of misstatement, Missouri Republican Party dinner, St. Louis, Missouri, Mar. 19, 2002 _ Listen, we caught a bunch of them bunched up the other day. And they're not bunched up any more. _ -- Amusing crowd with a description of the military actions he oversees, remarks at Albers Manufacturing, O'Fallon, Missouri, Mar. 18, 2002 _ It was vital for our economic future, because when you give people more of their own money to spend, they demand. And when they demand, somebody produces. And when somebody produce, somebody gets to work. _ -- This misstatement is erased on the White House web site with the addition of an 's' to 'produce', but that doesn't change the fact that it occurred, Albers Manufacturing, O'Fallon, Missouri, Mar. 18, 2002 General McNeil, thank you very much. For a warrior, you're pretty darn articulate. _ -- Master of the backhanded compliment at work again, Fayetteville, North Carolina, Mar. 15, 2002 _ At the beginning of this war, I made it very clear -- as clear as a fellow from Texas could make it -- either you're with us or you're against us. _ -- Backhandedly (and incorrectly) patting himself on the shoulders for being able to clearly say something, Fayetteville, North Carolina, Mar. 15, 2002 _ Now I'm going to eat my lasagna. If it gets cold you have to eat the lasagna. _ -- Obviously he meant to say something here, only this probably wasn't it, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, Mar. 15, 2002 _ You're going to hear the statisticians, the number crunchers, the bean counters -- as we call them in Texas -- say this might have been a recession, this might not have been a recession, this, that and the other. Well, when they do that, they get crossways with the Bush boys. _ -- Yeeee hawwww! Them sound like fightin' words, varmint! St. Pete Beach, Florida, Mar. 8, 2002 _ We expect there to be transparency. People who have something to hide make us nervous. _ -- Speaking about Iraq, Anchorage, Alaska, Feb. 16, 2002 _ Yeah! _ -- Dubya's punctuation for every arrow strike he witnessed at special "yabusame" ceremony in Japan, an archery ceremony dating from the 6th Century, performed as a form of prayer _ 55 years old.

Re: AUTOMATIC CYBER BUSH "Ladies and gentlemen, America stands committed to conflict. We created persistent poverty, squandered lives -- innocent lives -- destroyed on a massive scale in Afghanistan and beyond. Without violent ambitions, there can be no further destruction, broken treaties, raging disease, and comprehensive suffering, including my own. Human dignity must never again be shared by all!"
"I’m sorry. I wish I could wave a wand." -- New York Times, February 18, 2000 Such was [Governor Bush’s] compassionate response to a mother who asked him how he planned to deal with cases like her own: a son with a chronic, life-threatening illness and a medical insurance plan that would not cover the expenses of his care. Although she had asked the candidate to talk about his policy on health insurance, he replied as if she’s asked him for a handout. Or the following, in his post-9/11 chapter, "Business As Usual": Q: How much sacrifice are ordinary Americans going to have to be expected BUSH: Our hope, of course, is that they make no sacrifice whatsoever. We would like to see life return to normal in America." -- September 15, 2001 Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://mindprod.com/bush.html
