Bush's "eulogy" is a laundry list of his own failures in reverse
Remarks by the President Upon the Death of President Ronald Reagan

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/06/20040605-7.html

"Ronald Reagan won America's respect with his greatness, and won its love with his goodness. He had the confidence that comes with conviction, the strength that comes with character, the grace that comes with humility, and the humor that comes with wisdom. He leaves behind a nation he restored and a world he helped save.

During the years of President Reagan, America laid to rest an era of division and self-doubt. And because of his leadership, the world laid to rest an era of fear and tyranny. Now, in laying our leader to rest, we say thank you."

How successful has #43 been in these areas? If you turn all of the "positives" above into "negatives," would it be a pretty accurate snapshot of the George W. Bush presidency?

1. You are so right...
...if you just change the words to opposite meanings it is a rundown of the Bush regime. Ironically, the Bush boy likely believes (in his own mind) he is describing himself...what a sicko!

2. Great observation - you could make this thought into an article
It's almost scary how everything Bush said applies to himself in reverse.

4. I wonder if the irony was lost on the person who did write it?
They people who work for Bush have to know what he really is.

5. So then this would be the eulogy for *
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 08:55 PM by Philosophy
"George W Bush lost America's respect with his inferiority, and lost its love with his evil. He had the hopelessness that comes with insecurity, the weakness that comes with corruption, the clumsiness that comes with pride, and the childish humor that comes with idiocy. He leaves behind a nation he ruined and a world he helped destroy.

During the years of pResident Bush, America laid to rest an era of unity and self-confidence. And because of his lack of leadership, the world laid to rest an era of bravery and democracy. Now, in laying our usurper to rest, we say damn you straight to hell."
