Bush Press conference

[spotbird]

http://www.whitehouse.gov/

About healthcare, etc..

[gratuitous]

1. Nertz, ya beat me by seconds

Starting off by calling Congress "irresponsible." Nice bipartisanship there, Chimpy.

[rodeodance]

2. bush is really dissing the Dems on the kids health care plan

[spotbird]

3. State Health Insurance for Children

Bush says he's always supported it, wants an increase. The Democrats have passed a bill they know he will veto. Congress waited to late risking children's health for political purposes.

[spotbird]

5. Poor people will have to pay more taxes,

the Democrats want to put more power in the federal government.

This guy is a psychopath.

[gratuitous]

4. Oooh, bad old "government-run health care"

Uhm, that's better than the health care plan Bush has now. We call it the "unavailable" health care plan.

[gratuitous]

6. "Be reasonable," Bush urges

"Do it my way, you irresponsible assholes."

[ShortnFiery]

8. What's sad is that our GUTLESS congress-critters kick-up dirt but then roll on their

backs for tummy rubs. :grr:

Where in the hell is our Democratic Party? They sure are not representing me. :(

[cali]

38. Never, ever forget to attack dems in every single post

whatever the thread is about. I honestly wonder about your motivation.

[ShortnFiery]

74. Hello?!? I'm not attacking Democrats, I'm attacking "gutless wonders" intimidated by the DLC. nt

[paulk]

75. well, she did say that the "Democrats" weren't representing her

sometimes the truth slips out....

[ShortnFiery]

78. I'm sorry, I didn't know that certain members here require "loyalty oaths" to "the party"

above all else. :eyes: I'm merely going to send money to their democratic challengers in upcoming primaries. Now that's DEMOCRATIC! :patriot:

[paulk]

79. oh, I'm sure you've given a loyalty oath....

;-)

[spotbird]

7. The Democrats risk the lives of children

Bush will work with the states to mitigate the damage if Congress doesn't pass a bill that is satisfactory to the dictator.

[gratuitous]

9. First question about the economy: Heading toward recession?

Blah, blah, blah, sound fundamentals (which I take to mean that we're not on a barter system and have actual currency), blah, blah, blah. "Takin' money out of the hands of investors and consumers." More bipartisan blather, finishing off with "Congress isn't going to get its way."

[ShortnFiery]

11. No, The Unitary Executive MUST keep that money flowing to his buds, the war profiteers. nt

[spotbird]

10. The economy is strong

but there are unsettling times in the housing market.

Bush wants to change the tax code so that there is no penalty when people renegotiate their loans.

The Democrats want to raise taxes and that may cause a recession. When asked if he thinks we're headed to a recession, he suggested they talk to an economist.

[gratuitous]

12. Question 2: Are we going to war with Iran?

"I'm hopeful that we can convince the Iranian regime to give up all its weapons."

Chimpy likes his targets defenseless, is what I take from that.

[ShortnFiery]

13. More B.S. fear-mongering and the whorish M$M spreads it like wildfire.

I'm fear-mongered out! Now I'm just pissed that my tax dollars are being paid to kill and destroy humanity. :(

[gratuitous]

14. Take the President of Iran very seriously

Uh huh, like anyone takes Chimpy seriously when he makes irresponsible threats.

"We respect the people of Iran." But the government they've elected needs to be nuked, apparently. Complete lack of self-awareness of how his words can be applied to this country.

[ShortnFiery]

18. In modern history, Iran has NOT invaded another nation - we've both nuked and invaded.

Now ask yourself, if you were over in Europe, which country would you fear more: 1) USA or 2) Iran?

[spotbird]

15. Iran

He hopes he can persuade the Iranians to give up their nuclear weapons peacefully.

It is imperative we work in a multilateral fashion, at the UN.

The "free world" will not tolerate Iran building a nuclear weapon. They threaten Israel with violence. Never mind they have no other way to protect them self, Iraq wishes they were a nuclear power five years ago.

[spotbird]

16. Israel bombed Syria

what was the target?

Do you worry the US will become involved.

Bush refused to comment, over and over. THis is a dictatorship, he owes no answer to the people.

[ShortnFiery]

20. Dumb-Ass, They want Nuclear Power and IAEA has not found any evidence to the contrary. nt

[spotbird]

27. Absolutely they do.

But nuclear nations don't get invaded. It's rational.

[gratuitous]

17. Question 3 from David Gregory: Israel's act of war

"Not gonna comment on the matter."

Uh, this is a press conference, Chimpy. You're supposed to answer questions, doofus.

But Gregory knuckles under and moves on to something else. What if all the reporters just refused to ask another question?

[spotbird]

21. It is stunning,

That exchange should be the lead story on all the teevee news, but they'll never mention it again.

[rodeodance]

23. twice Gregory got smacked down. He tried.

[rodeodance]

26. Bush said SH was a brutal dictator. mantra time

[rodeodance]

29. Ha Ha-Bush says he does not know that he said that He does not know if invading

Iraq was good.


my gawd. how dumb does he think we are!

[rodeodance]

19. Bush said he will not answer David Gregory's question. 2x

[ShortnFiery]

24. Notice the twinkle in the Sociopaths eyes when he utters "Murder and Violence?"

:scared: OMG he dug up the decapitated body of Saddam Husein just to dis him more. :shrug:

[spotbird]

32. Bush wishes Saddam were

still alive, so he could kill him again. They must have been pretty afraid of Saddam to have killed him when they did.

We are all supposed to believe OBL is still alive so Bush can keep an evil enemy.

[ShortnFiery]

40. That's OK, they repeatedly resurrect Osama - the only mystery is whether he'll dye his beard or not.

Fear Fear Fear ... Osama under your bed! :P

[spotbird]

51. THat wasn't OBL on the last tape

it was a high schooler in New Jersey. It was for his Comedy on Video class, when he released it he thought everyone would know it was a joke.

[gratuitous]

22. Question 3a: Why is Iraq still so fucked up?

Yadda, yadda, yadda, "clearly there needs to be work there." Where? The oil sharing law. Share (give) the oil with us, or we'll continue to "work" with the government. They need to pass laws. Like the oil law. Preoccupy much, Chimpy?

[gratuitous]

25. "People are sick and tired of death and violence"

Chimpy's apparently not sick and tired of it yet.

"I unnerstand it's hard work." Everyone take a shot.

[ShortnFiery]

30. With respect, I heard MURDER and VIOLENCE.

RED-RUM! Here's Bushy!!! :wow: :scared:

[gratuitous]

28. Question 4: Gates says he doesn't know if invading Iraq was a good idea

"Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good thing."

"I can't talk to everyone in my government every time they talk to a reporter." Not even your defense secretary?

[gratuitous]

31. Question 5: What about North Korea?

Chimpy completely behind the curve on the current situation, stuttering and stammering. "It's a general statement that we expect them not to be proliferating." What?

[ShortnFiery]

34. "It's a general statement that we expect them not to be proliferating."

:blush: That's our Dear Leader. :eyes:

[rodeodance]

33. reporter" 'you have worked very hard to bring Blacks and Hispanics into

your Party"-my gawd.
talking of Jena

[spotbird]

37. Pathetic pandering

they know what he likes.

[ShortnFiery]

49. Here's a Pic of that reporter ...

[gratuitous]

35. Question 6: Why are Republicans so hostile to 75% of the population?

"We have a very strong record when it comes to empowerment."

"I unnerstand the emotions." Take another shot.

"We want fairness when it comes to justice." Ignore follow-up.

[gratuitous]

36. Question 7: Placing a wreath at Ground Zero?

What the fuck was that about?

[gratuitous]

39. Question 8: Fed dropped interest rate, what do you think?

"I don't comment on the Fed. Ben Bernanke is a terrific fellow. Those Democrat bastards better not raise taxes."

[spotbird]

41. He doesn't comment on the

actions of the fed either.

[gratuitous]

42. Question 9 about Louisiana

"Feel strongly that there oughta be fair justice."

[ShortnFiery]

44. "Feel strongly that there oughta be fair justice."

Hey Nancy, "How dumb is too dumb?" :shrug:

[spotbird]

43. He feels there must be

fair justice in Louisiana. He barely concealed the fact that he thinks the black kids ought to hang, and about those white kids, boys will be boys.

[spotbird]

45. The tax cuts worked,

the economy improved, there is hope in the economy, what a fucking lunatic.

[ShortnFiery]

46. "We're a fightin' a war, so sit down and STFU ... Congress, pass my bills!"

:P

[gratuitous]

47. Question 10: How do you feel about being criticized?

"My feelings are not hurt."

"I respect Rumsfeld and Greenspan. I disagree with Greenspan. The deficit as a percentage of GDP is low!"

More blather about how he's going to balance the budget . . . five years from now.

"I'm a supply sider." Take another shot.

Yammers about government spending on one hand, and then how government will have more money than ever to spend. Totally nuts.

"I'm not gonna give up on entitlement reform." You've been warned.

[spotbird]

48. He's whining about privatization of

Social Security. People shouldn't pay into a program which will be insolvent.

[ShortnFiery]

50. Too bizarro! He's worried about American Isolationism. Now that's a hoot!

:crazy:

[spotbird]

57. People making up to $80k

may be eligible for this program. It's a deliberate deception, but that's beside the point. If someone makes $80k in an expensive part of the country, they can't afford private health insurance. He is such a fucking moron.

[ShortnFiery]

66. Heaven forbid that we cut off the funding when the war profiteers are sucking our tax dollars

dry from the government teat. Oh, they do love that war making ... so lets all fear, become paralyzed and let these CRIMINALS give our monies to people who specialize in DEATH and DESTRUCTION? :grr:

[gratuitous]

52. Question 11: Dubai buying a share of NASDAQ, a good idea?

"We have a reform process in place." Nothing specific, of course, but he's "comfortable" with the process.

Uh oh, he's talking economics again. "Exports are up, and Americans benefit when that happens." All we're exporting is jobs, Chimpy.

"I am deeply concerned about poverty around the world." Yeah. Right.

"Trade helps poor people realize a better life."

Yapping about hypothetical "some people" who are against liberty and freedom. I'm sure we all know dozens of people against liberty and freedom.

Ooh, 9/11 reference: Chug your beer!

[spotbird]

54. When he said "reform"

I think he meant regulatory. We have neither, it was code for "sell 'em the fucking farm."

[gratuitous]

53. Question 12: Are you an asset or a liability to Republicans running in 2008?

"An asset. Next question." Har-de-har-har.

[ShortnFiery]

55. Notice how hyper-focused and excited he is at keeping the topic on WAR?

Hunt em' down! The children are now a a fading afterthought. :shrug:

[gratuitous]

56. Question 13: About your grade point average . . .

Yuk, yuk, yuk. Is a tax increase on cigarettes a tax increase? Yes.

Congress doesn't need any more money, just change spending priorities. How about cutting off the funding for the Iraq war? We could afford universal health care by doing that.

[gratuitous]

58. Question 14: Did the surge not work?

No, the surge is just working slower than we said it would. But don't worry, I'll get it together some day.

Getting animated about more death and extremists killing innocent people. He's passionate about that, boy.

[ShortnFiery]

59. Here we go a waring ... Extremists - Terrorists - Safe Haven!

He's so anti-social but oh, so, predictable. :thumbsdown:

[gratuitous]

60. The solution to this clusterfuck?

More clustering and harder fucking.

Another September 11 reference. Take another shot.

[spotbird]

61. He's pissed about Blackwater.

He's pounding his fist in outrage about extremist killing innocent people.

Oh, wait....

[spotbird]

63. Real Blackwater question

Bush appreicates Iraqi cooperation to find out what happened.

My link died. Shit.

[ShortnFiery]

62. Oh, he dug up September 11th, although he's not ever going to have us invade Saudi Arabia nt.

[gratuitous]

64. Question 15: Why is Blackwater above the law?

Well, I'm gonna set up a commission to find out exactly what happened. There are rules in place. "I'm lookin' forward to finding out what the facts are."

[spotbird]

69. Pandering question about Betrayus ad

Bush disgusted and disappointed the Democrats didn't speak out against the ad.

Most Democrats are more afraid of aggravating Moveon than they are of the military.

[gratuitous]

65. Question 16: Hunt Oil's deal with the Kurds

Does that undermine the oil sharing law?

"I knew nothing about the deal." Look for a "clarification" later.

[ShortnFiery]

67. Notice, Dear Leader has made us "The DEMOCRAT Party" again.

I'm sick of this moronic sociopath ... I should not be listening. :(

[gratuitous]

68. Question 17: The moveon ad

"I thought the ad was disgusting." "An attack on the U.S. military." "Disappointed in the leaders of the Democrat party." "Most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left wing organization like Move On.org."

Asshole.

"Tone it down, this is Levitt's first time."

[ShortnFiery]

70. And the ruling politicos can depend on Tweety, et. al., to catapult the propaganda.

:eyes:

[flpoljunkie]

71. Says the coward who shamelessly used Petraeus to sell his failed surge in an occupied Iraq.

[gratuitous]

72. Post-conference comments: All Move On

Williams talking to Russert, completely buying into the "Democrats hate the military" meme. Well done, Pumpkinhead.

Now he's talking about Bush dodging the question about Israel's act of war against Syria. And they're actually mentioning it! I'll be darned. "The president's non-answer is only going to encourage more questions." Oh really, Tim-meh? Are you going to ask more questions, or is this the end of it for you? I'm betting you never mention it again.

[ShortnFiery]

73. Tweety is a true "ruling politco" groupie. He sickens me with his assumptions. nt

[underpants]

76. Tim-meh needs to find out what Archer Daniels Midland wants him to say

or what Mary Matalin has written for him. Then moonface will tell all of America what the conventional wisdom in DC is.

[spotbird]

77. Timmy will be told to cut it

out. The press isn't going to demand the dictator answer to them!

By tonight it will never have happened. I promise.
