Now Bush by no means was perfect, but…

Thanks to Dana for sharing her comments with us.

I disagreed strongly with George W. Bush on immigration and several other topics. I agreed with him on Iraq and our security and feel he was an ethical man whose accent was terribly unsophisticated and whose speaking skills were not polished.  I never doubted for a moment that he was intelligent. I have always thought it was an awful assumption that Bush was not “bright” and have waited patiently to see if Obama’s “polished” surface had any genuine depth of knowledge. I now feel certain he is all air with no substance; it seems to me we have gone from substance with no “polish” to “polish” with no substance.

This was interesting and if you feel it worthy to share with the group, please do so.

Best,
Dana


Subject: Fw: IF George Bush was an Idiot


Now Bush by no means was perfect, but…

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  inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

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?
If George W.. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
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?
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?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a  minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you  have approved?
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 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled 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?
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?
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?
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?
If George W. Bush had created the position 32 or more   Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?   If George W. Bush had spent more than all the Presidents combined since George Washington, would you have approved?   So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 12 months — so you’ll have 4years to.
