14. Press Conference so we can remember that he is the Decider
and that he has decided to have a "sustained war."

7. "Iraq will require additional sacrifices"
Does that mean Barbara and Jenna Bush serving as Army MPs patrolling Baghdad?

If not, Bush can pound sand. :grr:

13. He actually said that? Unholy Hell.
Bush and his good German Republicans lied their way into this failed war of choice. His daughters aren't on the front lines. And until they are, all talk of "sacrifice" coming from Bush and any other Republican who cheered for the Iraq war resolution rings hollow.

8. More war will bring us "a new way forward..."
Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 10:09 AM by Radio_Lady
I tried to explain this to my eight-year-old granddaughter --

She asked me, "Why do people fight when they want peace?"

I don't have any answers. Neither does the idiot whom we got for pResident courtesy of the Supreme Court.

Please tell me you made that up... Oh, wait; that's what he said after 9/11, too. That's the cure for everything, I guess. Go shopping.

19. No, but I want to believe that our Democratic Leaders in the House
and Senate will keep this Emperor wannabe IN CHECK. If they are gutless, we are ALL in a world of hurt. IMO, Impeach with extreme prejudice. If for no other reason than he's both delusional and incompetent.

Newsflash BushCo NeoCons ---> we are NOT succeeding in Iraq ... we have LOST the hearts and minds of the people by not providing security from the onset. We have LOST the war. Dammit a military solution is not an option. YOU MORONS! :grr:

10. He just encouraged people to shop more.
Is this what we've become?

A president needs to encourage shopping?

This is disgusting.

47. This Press Corps has been emasculated
Notice the subservient attitude - they have been warned - no questions that the great and powerful Oz can't turn into his own propaganda.

No tough questions at all . . .

Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 10:17 AM by ShortnFiery
He's such an embarrassment to ALL the former Presidents of our beloved Country.

IMO, even Nixon had a brain and SOME class to know when he was beat. This Moron just chugs ahead creating his own reality with Cheney. Our Democratic Congress best take no prisoners with regard to oversight of this insane clown posse in the Executive Branch.

He's gonna reach out to DemOcrats. Sure. :eyes:

Guess the frustration makes me brusque, but I wish more people would wake up and see the sociopath in the White House. :shrug:

40. We did wake up, probably when you did. And each day, I have to believe
that there are others who have found out they supported the wrong man. Books have been written on what his problem is -- mentally and socially.

Wish we could speed up the process, but that's impossible.

Let's hope the Democrats keep him in check for the rest of his lame duck presidency. I hope we're on our way.

32. What is all this "Thank you Mr President"
I don't recall the press thanking a president every time they were called on by the president in the press gaggle in previous administrations.

Were they mandated to do that?

This man cannot fathom the truth. He sees things in total black and white. He does not understand nuances. I just think he is incapable of "getting it".

I have never heard him so disconnected. Is there any subject he is NOT trying to tackle in this simplistic tirade?

it means getting the troops home now and stopping bush*cos agenda.

39. Now he is dictating what the wish of the American people was at the polls
That they wanted bi-partisan action.

I thought they wanted the assholes out of office.

I thought the American people thought Democrats would do a better job.

I thought the American people thought the Democrats were less corrupt.

We need the men in white jackets to come and take him away ... anywhere but ruling this Country.
