This is not something you see everyday, humility. Star and Flagged for just being genuine.

Here come the wolves in 3...2...

Yes, THANK YOU! Mr. President .. now don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

On second thought, just leave the door open for the next puppet er president to walk in.

INDEED

i'm typically not this rude, and you're certainly entitled to your opinion based on your frame of reference, experience, education, and general observational and analytical powers. but to be perfectly honest, my visceral reaction to this was to throw up a little in my mouth.

boy did you call that one.

While I do not agree with MOST of what our president has done. I will show him the respect he deserves just for being in such a position where you are always on the defensive. It seems to me that no matter who is in the office of POTUS, he or she will always be criticized for every little thing that they do. If it were me in office and people were attacking me all the time, I would probably loose my cool and tell em all how it is.

So I guess thank you Mr. President for keeping a cool head and not telling America to F- off. Because thats what I would do.

Thanks for the list.

I think I've been misunderestimating his presidency all along.

Mabus, I, like you, don't agree with everything Bush does. Actually,I probably only agree with about half of his decisions. However, all things considered, he has done ok. Albeit, he has allowed some very evil people disrupt what could have been a very good presidency.

Sheeple thread.


The shepard was a crooked evil man, but the sheeple just want their grass.


GOD BLESS America ffs. I'm embarressed for the idiocy of this thread.

Do you know what you've done??? You know he is watching this thread and especially your posts. It won't be long now before he starts eating your babies.

Yes, thanks George. Thanks for being on my favourite 'pull my finger' t shirt. Thanks for all the golden moments where you could hardly form a sentence and have given us all a great laugh while we thought "hey, this guy is the most powerful person on the planet..."

But most of all... Thanks for keeping the oil flowing and highly profitable! We could not have done it without having almost 100,000 people killed in bloody violence and having millions of people displaced from Iraq.

Not to mention the 4,000 or so young Americans that have been sacrificed in the process.

But hey, I guess that's where having been an oil boss and having almost everyone on your team coming from an oil background helps.

I realize hating President Bush is the cool thing to do, just like anti-war protesting was popular during Vietnam. I realize it's trendy to blame all of my problems on the GWB, just like the Jane Fonda liberals of the 1960's and 1970's taught us to do (even though they abandoned all rhetoric after we left Vietnam and peace didn't magically happen, rather millions of the innocent were slaughtered). The libs want us to pull out of Iraq, now. If we did and millions of innocent civilians were slaughtered when a fascists regime takes over and peace doesn't magically occur, will they disappear into the night just like after Vietnam?

This thread puts it all into perspective. Liberals criticize and criticize, and the radically liberal media beats it into our brains until we begin to believe it's "cool" and "trendy," and after their policies fail (and they ALWAYS do), where are they to pick up the pieces?

When you actually highlight all of Bush's achievements, he actually has been a pretty decent president. He is no Republican by any stretch of the imagination, though. He's a hardcore tax-and-spend Democrat in many aspects, but I believe he's one of the good guys. When you compare him to people like Pelosi, Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, John Edwards, Elliot Spitzer, Barack Obama and the other sleazeballs comprising the modern day Democrat party, he's a saint

A so-so to a so-so president. He's hated now because we've been brainwashed to believe it's the cool thing to do, but 20 years down the road, history will exonerate him because his achievements will be highlighted...and there are actually some significant ones. Many of you may be hating GWB right now, but if B. Hussein Obama gets elected and the economy collapses under his insane policies, we lose individual freedoms thanks to his Socialist policies and gas prices and your taxes go through the roof thanks to his Marxist ideals, you'll be praying for GWB to return. Hell, you'd be praying for Jimmy Carter, the worst president in the history of the USA, to return to office

Not to flame, but are you kidding me with that statement? He basically told the entire nation to F.O. on more than one occasion. He verbally crapped on the US constitution and every time he thought the cameras were not recording, he looked dead ahead and popped the old "Ewe Plucker" right up there. No matter what the people asked that he consider, he did the exact opposite and has accelerated this nation into a war-mongering capitalist state faster than anyone could have imagined.

As I see it, his greatest achievement will be leaving office on schedule without further conflict or intrusion.

Would you care to elaborate why? Everything the OP said in his statement was true. Whether you hate GWB or not, you can't dispute facts. Why don't you tell us why you hate GWB, and see if you do it without dragging a conflict that doesn't effect you (seriously, you wouldn't even know it were happening if it wasn't for media coverage) through the mud over and over and over and over...etc...

The fact is, most people hate GWB for the same reason they like B. Hussein Obama. Well...they can't tell you why. They hate GWB for, blanketly, "Iraq," just like they like B. Hussein Obama for, blanketly, "change."

I lol'd at this entire post. Not because it was funny, but because it was so ignorant 100,000 dead enemies that were trying to kill us. Damn that president of ours. What ever happened to pride for your country? I guess it faded away when we became the Evil Nation of Conspiratorial Imperialism responsible for all the problems of the world. We're no longer the USA, we're the ENCI

May well add my regards too. Thank You Mr. President! Even though most people disagree with you, you have with stood the attacks.

Even though you may have not been liked. Congratulations on being president. Just because you hold the position, you deserve some respect. Thank You.

Is that why people hate Obama because he wants change, like other people hate Bush for Iraq?

Both sides seem to have a one-dimensional view, then.

I don't live in America so I can't vouch for who or what is better, I'm just glad I don't have to.



Oh, I'd place a bet that there's much more than 100, 000 people on the planet that want to kill Americans now, especially since the crazy foreign policy that you've had under Bush.

Thank you for making me laugh, same reaction here
