Late night Bush funny

Pretty good stuff!

I got a chuckle from a comedic standpoint.

From a political standpoint, GW’s seems to get the blame for everything but where is the praise when things go well?

Uh, what’s gone well?????

I guess I’m a little confused on that too????

How about the fact we haven’t had a terrorist attack here in 5 years. How about gas prices coming down. How about no hurricanes this year.

Oh, and there is lower taxes. Something that will change imediately once the Democrats get in control.

If your gonna blame him for Katrina and for soaring gas prices then you have to give credit to him when the prices fall and we don’t have any hurricanes.

Wasnt JFK a liberal? Just wondering…lol!

I would like to get a bit more expressive, but everything has gone well except Iraq.

Lower taxes, a stable economy despite a hugh rise in oil prices, no major attacks since 9/11, low interest rates, a ton of jobs available, etc. The afore-mentioned is why the Democrats, who voted for the Irag invasion have little to criticze Bush for except a so-called exit plan which they say he doesn’t have.

Ya, that’s why his own party is so proud of him….
WASHINGTON — Since President Bush’s approval rating sank to the lowest level of his presidency in May, nearly six in 10 of his appearances helping Republican candidates have been closed to all media coverage.

Unlike his barnstorming leading up to the 2002 congressional elections, when he was more popular and the divisive Iraq war had not begun, Bush has yet to hold a single traditional campaign-style rally for one of his party’s hopefuls this election cycle.

Every one of his events for GOP gubernatorial, House and Senate candidates has been to raise money from faithful Republican donors — not to urge support among the broader voting public.

The GOP’s control of Congress is in danger. The tendency of many Republican candidates to keep their president under wraps is represented starkly in Bush’s schedule in the week ahead.

Republicans hardly have abandoned their enthusiasm for having the president exercise his talent at raising money for their campaigns. But of six fundraisers Bush is headlining this week, all but one — for Alabama Gov. Bob Riley — are private, by agreement between the White House and the campaigns. GOP Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio, one of the more vulnerable Republicans, is a case study in the sometimes tricky dynamics of a president’s assistance.

Bush is raising money for DeWine on Monday at a private home in Cincinnati. It is the third time the president will have helped the senator, to the tune of about a $1 million each time. No other candidate has rated as many appearances from Bush, and all have happened out of public view.

Earlier in the year, there was so much discussion of why DeWine was snubbing the president whenever he traveled to Ohio that the senator eschewed his family’s baseball seats to take in the Cincinnati Reds’ home opener at Bush’s side.

A photo of the two, taken at the airport in June when Bush last traveled to Ohio for a closed DeWine fundraiser, is the primary image of an anti-DeWine ad by the Senate Democrats’ campaign committee. Above the picture of the two, smiling with arms around each others’ shoulders, the ad says: “Mike DeWine likes working together … with George Bush.”

DeWine’s campaign stresses that all the senator’s fundraisers are closed and that there is no attempt to shun the president. “Not at all,” said spokesman Brian Seitchik, who added that DeWine plans to appear with Bush during a tour, open to reporters, of a business earlier Monday.

Still, DeWine’s ads have emphasized his independence and ability to work with Democrats.

Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce the fourth-ranking House Republican, once cozy with Bush. Now she stresses her independent side as she struggles to hold onto her seat in an evenly split district. Bush is returning to Ohio on Thursday to raise money for her; this reception also is closed.

The president appears to be itching to join the battle. Highly competitive and a political junkie, he becomes invigorated in front of large and supportive crowds.

“I’m looking forward to the campaign. I’m looking forward to reminding the American people there are significant differences in between what our party believes and what the other party believes,” the president said Thursday at the first of two open fundraisers in Florida. He pounded his lectern and shouted so loudly that donors sometimes had to cover their ears.

That event in Tampa, to collect cash for state Rep. Gus Bilirakis’ bid to succeed his father in Congress, was in a safely Republican district.

The White House says more fundraisers will be opened to coverage as Nov. 7 gets closer, that Bush will start speaking before larger crowds in bigger venues and that he will hold some rallies. But White House press secretary Tony Snow acknowledged that the president’s role through the end of the campaign will remain largely fundraiser in chief.

Republican Party and White House officials say Bush is in such great demand by candidates that he cannot fill all the requests and that he is appearing at political events at the same rate as he did in 2002.

But the nature of the events this time around is different.

In 2002, between July and the end of September, nearly all of Bush’s political appearances — most fundraisers — were open. From the end of August to this time in 2002, Bush also appeared in a half-dozen areas with tough races at “welcome” events, thinly veiled attempts to marshal presidential power to boost the struggling Republican candidates smiling at his side.

But this year, in the same time period between July and the end of September, nearly two-thirds of Bush’s political events are scheduled to be closed, held in private homes where the White House says media coverage would damage the intimacy and intrude on hosts’ privacy.

Overall, from the first political event Bush headlined in March 2005 through the end of September, 47 percent of Bush’s 68 political events — for candidates, the national GOP, several state counterparts and the campaign arms of House and Senate Republicans — will have been private. Before May’s approval-rating slide, the percentage of closed events was 34 percent; since, it is 59 percent.

Of the candidates Bush will have helped by the end of this week, 16 have chosen to have him in private and 23 have elected public appearances. Two have had public and private events — Sen. Jim Talent of Missouri, in a tough re-election race, and Bob Corker, hoping to beat Democratic Rep. Harold Ford to succeed Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in Tennessee.

Most who choose public displays, such as Bilirakis, are running in Republican-leaning districts.

Most preferring a private Bush appearance are competing in some of the toughest races. Among them are Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, whom Bush has helped twice; Reps. Clay Shaw of Florida and Dave Riechert of Washington, and Rick O’Donnell, running for an open House seat in Colorado.

Still, several Republicans in close races have not shunned Bush, including Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, Montana Sen. Conrad Burns, and Reps. Heather Wilson of New Mexico and Jim Gerlach and Mike Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.

As Bilirakis put it Thursday in Florida, for some people nothing beats having the president of the United States at your side.

“Today we have the honor and the privilege of hearing from a man of great character and strong conviction: President George W. Bush. I’m proud to stand on this stage with the president,” he gushed.

After the next elections, they will have to put a old porkchop bone around his neck on a string, just to get the republican dogs to play with him…
W……..

Losa of long BS. Who is your favorite, John Kerry, the drunk Kennedy or Howard Dean.

Give me a break. George, Sr,. was also down in the polls big time, so what.

You never mentioned the economy, jobs or anything relavent in your long tirade; great job.

HELLO!!!!!!Those aren’t my words, those are the words of the republican party. U

So now you’re giving bush credit for us not having any hurricanes? He’s now father nature??!?

Sure, he was blamed for Katrina, if he can make one hit, he can make em stay away.

I can hear the voice but no pic. I’m suppose to have Windows Media 11 I believe and also Quicktime but still no pic. Anybody know what software download I need?
Thanks, Bill

How about gas prices coming down.

What has this administration done to lower gas prices? I know that the past few weeks the prices have been falling, but what has Bush done that has helped that?

He was faulted when they rose, therefore he gets the credit when they recede inspite of the FACT he had nothing to do with either!

TBO-

Would you please put where that article came from? Makes it more credible that way.

Earlier it was mentioned about the Iraq war. Here’s an interesting bit of information coming from a former advisor to Sadaam Hussein.

Georges Sada spoke at the UNI campus recently and a big part of his speech was that the war in Iraq was necessary and that Sadaam had WMD’s but were moved to Syria shortly before the war started in 2003. He also told the audience that Sadaam had at many times planned to attack the United States because he saw the US as mortal enemies. Sada said that most of the Iraqi people are very happy that the United States ousted Sadaam’s regime even if that is not well known in the US.

This is what I read in the Waterloo Courier last week. Sounds pretty straight from the source rather than what the media generally wishes to share with the public.

The article in question was from the Associated Press. It was delivered by 231 newspapers, radio and television networks, podcasts, and internet news outlets. New York Times, Chicago Sun Times, LA Times, ect, ect…….CNN, FoxNews, Reuters, USToday, NPR, ect, ect.

Thanks for letting me know. I may not agree with it, but I do like to know where it was from.

I hope this works, it’s the story in the Waterloo, Ia. news paper about Sadams advisor.

“Left is right, and right is wrong”

Not even close… here is the rule of logic…

Right is the opposite of left and

Right is the opposite of wrong,

therefor Right equalls Right and left equals wrong!

A little lesson in logic for those that do not bother to, or are unable to employ such in their day to day journey!

Right on, Hooks, what “is” is the question.

Speaking of logic, you talk like a man that just fell out of a well……..or doesn’t know if he walked to work, or carried his lunch. That’s the kind of logic that comes from the right side of TDC. you.

Regarding: “wasnt Kennedy a liberal”.

Um, no. That is the problem. The Dems have leaned so far over the edge that Kennedy would be a moderate Republican today.

No, what you really mean is the republicans have leaned so far to the left, that the moderate republicans now, would have been democrats back then……..

hmmm this is kind of a strange discussion.. left… right… left right left… how can you walk without both? so some of you R just hopping around on one foot? the advantage of having 2 sides is balance… a pendulum swings.. its a natural thing… does it swing left and right? back and forth? up and down? who cares… it moves and the earth moves with it… its a natural phenomenum… nature tends towards “balance”… when its out of balance it corrects itself… I think the same happens with politics (and pretty much anything else!)… go too far right.. or too far left… things will come back to the middle.. our system of goverment depends on balance thats what makes it work so well.. its actually a thing of beauty… can you have beauty without ugly? light without dark? the yin and the yang…. its a universal concept…. and of course they say opposites attract… if this is true they must be attracted to conflict? lol
anyway.. as a man of nature you will find that I prefer balance….
so now you guys go out and play nice… and I dont ever want to have to go against of team of left and right in a sack race.. (unless each takes the opposite role that is! )

Well said Rivereys. That is what this country was built on.

OK let’s talk about jobs. Good paying mfg. jobs continue to be shipped overseas,real wages in the US continue to go down, The gap between the middle class and the wealthy continues to to widen, The only reason the unemployment rate is so low is because so many people are stuck in low paying service jobs, many folks have to work 2 or more jobs to maintain a minimum standard of living, Shall I go on?

You could go on if any of what you said was true. Unfortunately, it isnt.

Incomes are rising, median incomes are up, good manufacturing jobs are coming here faster than they are leaving.

How many people are working 2-3 jobs to maintain their new standard of living that includes $150 cable bills, $50 internet service, $75-200 cell phone bills, and eating out 6-10 times a week?

If you disagree, explain this:

Low employment
Wages growing
Cost of labor
Home sales strong
Housing starts strong
Durable goods orders strong
Vehicle sales strong

You cant use the old rich getting richer argument to explain all this-it just doesnt hold water. Certain industries are tough, and those make the news. Most are absolutely booming.
