Default Bush joke (parting shot)

Apologies if you've already heard this one:


One sunny day in January, 2009 an old man approached the White
House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a
park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I
would like to go in and meet with President Bush."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer
president and no longer resides here."

The old man said, "Okay", and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and
said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with
President Bush."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr.
Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and again just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke
to the very same U.S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet
with President Bush."

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the
man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been
here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr.
Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't
you understand?"

The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I
just love hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you
tomorrow, sir."

Funny thing is,Oblama is doing mostly the same things as Bush did,
except for more communist control over banks and businesses,screwing the
stockholders to pay off his union buddies.Yeah,what a guy Oblama is....

I love it when someone who has no idea what "Communist" means throws it into
any sentence about someone he dislikes, especially someone whose grasp of
the English language appears to have stalled somewhere around Grade Seven.

Jim ol' buddy, you got some serious right-wing derangement goin' on
there, pal. Seriously.

Not that I don't agree that in *some* aspects Obama is doing *exactly*
the same things Bush did, even while talking a different line:
"extraordinary renditions" and some stuff on torture, just a couple that
spring to mind.

But "communist control over banks and businesses"? Puleez. Get a tinfoil
hat, for chrissakes.

So far as being a big pal to unions, keep in mind that the GM deal is
going to screw the autoworkers first, before anyone else gets reamed. In
fact, it's pretty much based on that premise.

Hey, redistributing wealth is a good thing. I got my "stimulus" payment
just in time to pay the IRS just about the same amount. It only cost a
few million to print a bunch of checks, keeps bank clerks and letter
carriers employed.

I wonder what those irrational Bush haters would have said if W. had
relied on one of those things even for events that are expected to be
spontaneous. But the propaganda machine is oiled and tuned and we'll
be lucky to be getting even a remotely reasonable facsimile of the
truth by the end of Barack's first, and God willing, last term.
Everything this guy says is shrouded in the Move-On mist. He makes
the Clintons look like amateurs.

A SOCIALIST:
You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your
neighbor.

A COMMUNIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with
milk.

A FASCIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk.
You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

[THE "TWO-COW EXPLANATION"]

POTUS is a "Progressive" - in my words, a Communist.

My bad.. CHRYSLER is over 50% (actually nearing 66%). GM is around 17%
or so.

One thing you will never hear from the right wingers is the fact that
10 banks are already starting to pay back their stimulus money. Right
wingers want everyone to think the money was just a gift to the
businesses and not meant to be paid back with interest.

The govt is already the largest employer. After Obama nationalizes
health care and a few other things there will be few workers left in
the private sector to pay all those sweet govt pensions through
eternity. Our kids are being handed a ticking time bomb economically
speaking, there is no getting around what is going to happen in a few
years. High interest rates, weak dollar, inflation, high taxes,
entitlements with no plan for funding, and the private sector taxed to
the hilt to pay for masses of govt workers and retirees, and a cap and
trade expense on all companies that will not cause the global
thermometer to drop one degree. China will begin to pull its
investment once they see us merely printing money to cover treasury
notes and move toward socialism, for crying out loud they invested
here in the first place because equity was not govt controlled. I
feel sorry for my 11 year old son, truly, he will be taxed and
burdened and live in a society where the politicians want a victim
class believing that they are their only hope, and an entitlement
class trained to suck at the nipple of government and believe that
every thing that was once "earned" is now a "right". Its going to be
a sick country by the time he grows up, very sick.

You're looking through the wrong end of the telescope. I don't mean
to be harsh, but you shouldn't have had kids if you regret bringing
them into the _this_ world. The world doesn't change. There are
wars, famine, etc., etc. This is as it has always been, and there's
no reason to believe it will change in any time frame that you can
imagine. This is neither a good thing, nor a bad thing - it just is.

I'll make some assumptions. Your kid has a roof over his head, food
on the table, is in reasonable health and has parents that care. With
that in mind, who gives a rat's ass about the politics? Focus on the
positive and pass _that_ attitude on to your kid, not the "oh, the
world is going to hell in a hand basket" attitude when things aren't
going the way you'd prefer. You'll both be thankful for it.

That some folks choose to hear Commies thumping around under their beds at
night does not mean the rest of the nation need share their irrational
fears. Elections have consequences, we heard that the past eight years in
reference to foreign and domestic policy. But suddenly when an election
produces a result some folks don't like, look out, the old slogans from the
McCarthy era get dusted off. Meanwhile the percentage of the population
that will admit to being Republican has dropped to something like 21%, and
the old Democratic Party circular firing squad has been replaced by an odd
exercise where Republicans criticize Rush Limbaugh and then have to eat
their words when El Rushbo jerks their leash. Me, I'm looking forward to
the day when the Republican Party rebuilds itself with real conservatives in
charge (as opposed to the opportunistic clowns and right-wingnuts currently
calling the shots). As a lifelong conservative I find it kind of
embarrassing to have no party representing my point of view available.
Meanwhile those of you who see Communists hiding behind every bush need to
grow up, you're making fools of yourselves.

Exactly, there are more than a few Marines out there who don't think too
well of being sent looking for WMDs that weren't there, especially when some
of them didn't come back alive.

Pretty good joke - up until the completely implausible last line.


Au contraire; I think that's the best part of the joke.



And entirely plausible since the military vote went for Obama, not the
republicans.

I wonder what those irrational Bush haters would have said if W. had

spontaneous. But the propaganda machine is oiled and tuned and we'll
be lucky to be getting even a remotely reasonable facsimile of the
truth by the end of Barack's first, and God willing, last term.
Everything this guy says is shrouded in the Move-On mist. He makes

Yeah, good point, using a teleprompter is waaaay more serious than starting
a war on false pretenses.

Exactly, there are more than a few Marines out there who don't think too
well of being sent looking for WMDs that weren't there, especially when some
of them didn't come back alive.


Not to mention l'affaire Pat Tillman. (Not a Marine, I know, but still.)

I love it when someone who has no idea what "Communist" means throws it into

Definitions of Communism from Dictionary.com:

1." A system of government in which the state plans and controls
the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power,
claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all
goods are equally shared by the people."
2. "The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that
advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the
proletariat."

The fact that unwitting accomplices choose to ignore what is unfolding
right before their eyes without making any effort to challenge or
question what this guy is doing, doesn't change the fact that it is
happening.


All forms of government are socialism at their core, dopey.

Personal attacks are characteristic of someone losing an argument, a
typical tactic of those on the left who demonize all who disagree with
them. Notice, I didn't go so far as to label anyone a loser.

Houston? Dallas? Bush had the ranch for publicity so's he could grab
his chain saw and imitate Reagan. More to being Pres. than p.r., as
Bush finally proved.

Yep the are getting reamed.. they'll own over half the place. The

but the unions are getting much more than the secured stockholders,who by

only one with BDS would continue to insist the Iraq was began on "false
pretenses". Before Bush became president,BJClinton also stated Saddam still
had WMD. Foreign leaders all believed he had WMD.

And theere was more than just that reasom for going to war with Saddam.
You folks just didn't listen.

Maybe you should ask the Germans what happens when you take that

I'm a MoveOn member and we're upset at Obama for not being progressive
enough. Of course, he is doing pretty much what he said he was going
to do.

Anyone calling him a commie is really far off the right edge.

I'm not an irrational Bush hater, I hate him for perfectly logical
reasons. I believe he did tremendous harm to my country. Hopefully
Obama can repair some of the damage. Most people in the US believe as
I do. Bush was a big failure as a President.

The Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, Move-On, you know, the same
rational, well-meaning folks who continue to perpetuate the propaganda
that Bush stole the election, despite the postmortem conducted by all
the major liberal media outlets which showed that W. got more votes.

The truth of the matter was it was Gore who started the whole recount
thing trying to steal the election by demanding recounts only in
Florida counties he believed would favor the outcome for him. But no
one seems to remember or advertise that.
