Hahaahaa...

Finally, the patriotism pastors like Rush Limbaugh are having to deal with their callers telling him that he''s so out of touch with the hardship American families are struggling with.

He can longer deny that America is NOT prosperous and vibrant, that the American consumer we kept hearing about was not resilient and thriving...hahaa

Finally, but his response is just more of the same sermons on patriotism and self reliance as if that''s possible.

He might as well tell old ladies that get mugged on the street to go catch the theives, take the gun away from him and get your purse back.

What a bunch of crock!

As a taxpayer, I''d feel a lot better about a bail out if they significantly reduced the salaries that the executives who helped engineer this debacle receive. They clearly haven''t earned and do not deserve extravagant lifestyles and salaries at taxpayer expense.

I HAVE NOT FIND EVEN A SINGLE PERSON COMPLAINING EVER ABOUT GAS PRICE.

EVERYBODY IN AMERICA IS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL SITUATION.

ALMOST EVERY COMPANY IS HIRING ALMOST ON DAILY BASIS.

EACH AND EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA IS COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL NEVER EVER NEVER EVER LOOSE THEIR JOB. AS A MATTER OF FACT EVERY PERSON DOES GET RAISE IN THEIR SALARY ABOUT 50% PER 6 MONTH.

YOU ARE NOT PATRIOTIC AND CERTAINLY NOT AN AMERICAN IF YOU DARE TO DISAGREE WITH ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED POINTS!!

I WISH IF BUSH WILL STAY OUR PRESIDENT UNTILL THE END OF EARTH!!

That''s right. Let''s drill for more of what Bush told us we''re addicted to. That''s like handing a road map to Colombia to all the heroin addicts here in the United States.

Bush: It''s been a difficult time for many American families. And I am asking Congress to help me fix the problems that the Republicans caused when we had complete control of Congress.

Whatever Bush wants, DON''T give it to him. Let the "mortgage giants" crumble and die. Bailing them out is a short fix and like the airlines, they''ll go broke in the end, anyway. The Lame Duck likes a good stalemate, so give it to him with interest.

"I''m the commander %u2014 see, I don''t need to explain %u2014 I do not need to explain why I say things. That''s the interesting thing about being president." %u2014as quoted in Bob Woodward''s Bush at War

He also called on the Democratic-run Congress to follow his example and lift a ban on offshore drilling to help increase domestic oil production.

"I readily concede it won''t produce a barrel of oil tomorrow, but it will reverse the psychology," Mr. Bush told a White House news conference

No. Not believing rhetoric is not the same as knowing it all.

Now what is the message there? The message is that there are known "knowns." There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don''t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don''t know we don''t know.

Rumsfeld

[Osama bin Laden is] either alive and well or alive and not too well or not alive.

Rumsfeld

We know where they [Iraq''s WMD] are. They''re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat

Rumsfeld

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn''t here." %u2014at the President''s Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002

Does anyone actually listen to this Bozo POS...

He is part of a proiblem that gos much deeper then the presidency...

We are being manipulated and sold down a river so the global economy can be controlled by an elite minority that wants control.

this is al lbeing done maliscioulsy and purposely.

Ask yourselves this... Should American Corporation practice patriotism.... If so shouldn''t the patriotic corporations sacrafice to help the rest of us. Shouldn''t big oil sacrafice there profits and there CEO''s multi-million dollar golden parachutes for the betterment of the USA....

They ask our children to make th ebiggest sacrafice and give their loives for th ewar on terror, but yet no one single corporation has gone out of there way to ease the pain the rest of us feel. There still interested in cutting our jobs, benefits, pensions while desperately trying to maintain meg profits for wallstreet....

that''s not sacraficing that is abusing.

America is dying and we are really starting to see the truth about our so called democracy. We are being maliciously manipulated and sold down a river for th ebenefit of the few

This is the same response we got out of this clown for Katrina....Do NOTHING!!!

"Let market forces call upon their ifinite wisdom and allow the natural winds and turbelances correct and work themselves out."

What a ridiculous platitude to propose as a solution. Good Luck Republicans for believing in this garbage.

Bush wanted to take credit back in 2005 so he deserves the blame in 2008

Where does the buck stop with this clown anyway?

Posted by green3334 at 01:37 PM : Jul 15, 2008





It''s like Hillary''s campaign, in reference to her husbands presidency - all the successes were because of Hillary''s involvement (great economy, record low unemployment, peace in N. Ireland, etc), yet she had NO involvement in any of the failures (Somalia, Rwanda, Waco, etc).


Same thing with Bush - his economic policies CAUSED all of these problems, yet he''s blaming Congress for not fixing the problems HE caused. HIS lack of interest in intelligence reports, led him to ignore the 9/11 warnings, but it''s the UN and NATO''s fault for not committing more troops to the Afghanistan war effort. Bush''s and Cheney''s energy policies CREATED today''s current energy crisis, yet it''s congress'' fault for NOT lifting the moratorium on off shore drilling.




All the credit for the successes, not of the blame for the failures. The career politican''s motto - just ONE MORE REASON NOT to vote for "experience".
