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

No, but I didn't approve of his, "Bring it on" comment either.

Bit of a different horse there


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?

No, but I didn't think much of his comment, "You're doing a good job,
Brownie" either.

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?

Are you sure that's what was on the Video? ... snip


Well, given that it was the White House who disclosed what was on the
iPod, I guess that is a good question.

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

Nope. To my knowledge, none of America's presidents have ever bowed to
foreign potentates.


There is absolutely zero doubt that the current president did bow to the
king of Saudi Arabia. The excuses given that he was bending because of
height differences, etc. just don't stand up to scrutiny of the actual
video. The current president of the US bowed to the leader of the House of
Saud.


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

What language does Bush speak?


Interesting response. Pretty much answers the original question -- the
meme was that Bush was an idiot, the current idiot in chief has made way
more gaffes (All 57 states ...) and pretty much gets a pass.

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

Well, one thing about it; they were at least smart enough to do their own
taxes, something not many in Bush's cabinet could claim.


Wow, this is fun. The fact is they were *NOT* smart enough to do their
own taxes as evidenced by the fact that they did not do those taxes.

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 fourth
of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again,
would you have winced in embarrassment?

Are you sure it wasn't "Cinco de Mayo"?


Yep, your president is a pandering dunce.


If George W. Bush had misspelled 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?

Well, duh !


Double standard much?


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?

George Bush wouldn't have to do anything more than he has already to
convince me that he's a hypocrite.


... and statists have the nerve to say that conservatives are biased. We
at least had the temerity to disagree with Bush when he was wrong --
Medicare Drug Bill, Amnesty for Illegals.

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?

You haven't really kept up with the rest of that story, have you.


Oh, please enlighten us. How do you salvage this situation? Especially
after the administration initially had planned to keep the pictures taken
classified until the hue and cry became so great that they released ONE
photo -- a photo that could just as easily been generated with Photoshop
rather than the enormous waste of resources by flying the presidential
plane and scaring the populace of NYC silly. Actually, it's kind of poetic
justice since NYC contains a majority of Obama voters, so from that
standpoint, it was kind of a win.

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 he is inept he is on his
own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If anyone ever needed a teleprompter to keep himself on message, to keep
from mauling the English language and to keep from making an ass of
himself, it has to be George Bush.


Uhhh, umm it would cost ... uhhh about ummm, ahhh, hold-on I'm gonna get to
it, uhhhh ahhhh ummmm it would cost about .....

[Hint, that wasn't GWB who stuttered that phrase]


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?

What news sources are you depending on for your info?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of=2 0a major
corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?

Nope, and I don't approve of Obama's act either.


Well, there is some hope for you

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

No. I don't approve of budget busting.

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

You're being redundant.

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM
stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you
have approved?

Oh, hell no!


OK, you've got some glimmer of hope, but then ...



So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant
and impressive?

In contrast to Bush? Uh...brains, education, ability. Too bad his
political philosophy is just as far to the left as Bush's was to the
right.


Frankly, the guy is either heavily editing himself when talking, or is a
bigger dunce than you ever thought Bush was. His actions and activities
appear calculated to destroy the US economy and free market. You don't
solve the previous budget deficit by tripling it (and that is by optimistic
estimates). The man has never run anything in his life. The only thing he
has done is campaign for the next highest office. He spent less than 144
days in the Senate before starting to run for POTUS and sponsored or pushed
no major legislation, one can't point to a single accomplishment. I used
to think that he memorized well and was able to regurgitate the teachings
of his mentors (Ayers, Alinski, etc.). However, given his performance
off-teleprompter, even that is questionable. If he succeeds in
implementing his agenda, the US will not be the same country we grew up in.
Even the Europeans are starting to see what their socialist utopia has
wrought and they are just now starting to try to roll some of that back.
This president on the other hand has his foot on the accelerator to push
this country into that same flawed societal model.

If you really listen to what he says, he's not cool, he's cold.

Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all
this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to
come up with an answer.
