Bush to start doing his job!
"The American people expect me to do my job, and I'm going to," the president said.



Personally I expect him to go on vacation, get drunk, show up late, fail to address any real social problem and when he does make a rare appearance be pushing some failed social program to a canned audience. But if he wants to start trying to do the job of president...

18. Maybe we can talk him in to another month at the ranch instead...
I don't think the country could survive if he started doing his job! C'mon George, you deserve a rest, robbing the poor to give to the rich is hard work, give yourself a rest, get on with your life! We'll understand.:rofl:

11. It is hard to immediately discern farce these days...
This ( http://www.theonion.com/content/node/41690 ) "Onion" article
sounds like a prescient transcription of a news conference (rather, a typical speaking-from-the-pulpit staging) on Fitzmas Morning.

3. The more he does his job,
The worse shape this country is in. I think he should head back to Crawford.

6. NO!! DON'T DO IT!
It's bad enough when you're ignoring your job *, but when you start paying attention, that's when people get killed.

You look tired. Take a break, ok? Crawford is just covered in brush and that chainsaw isn't going to start itself!

7. Bush To Appoint Someone To Be In Charge Of Country
The Onion had this scoop in the Oct 12 issue

Bush To Appoint Someone To Be In Charge Of Country

WASHINGTON, DC—In response to increasing criticism of his handling of the war in Iraq and the disaster in the Gulf Coast, as well as other issues, such as Social Security reform, the national deficit, and rising gas prices, President Bush is expected to appoint someone to run the U.S. as soon as Friday.

Bush presents his shortlist for the Secretary of the Nation post.
"During these tumultuous times, America is in need of a bold, resolute person who can get the job done," said Bush during a press conference Monday. "My fellow Americans, I assure you that I will appoint just such a person with all due haste."

The Cabinet-level position, to be known as Secretary of the Nation, was established by an executive order Sept. 2, but has remained unfilled in the intervening weeks.

"I've been talking to folks from all across this country, from Louisiana to Los Angeles, and people tell me the same thing: This nation needs a strong, compassionate leader," Bush said. "In response to these concerns, I'm making this a top priority. I will name a good, qualified person as soon as possible."

15. This is a hard country to defend he once said - stealing from Clinton
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 01:13 PM by robbedvoter
on this one. Don't worry people, he doesn't actually mean it. I watched him say it too - he didn't sound at all like he meant any of it.
