I can't make sense of Bush's stated "New Year's Resolution."
He said today, "My thoughts are with the troops as we head into 2007. People always ask me about a New Year's resolution -- my resolution is, is that they'll be safe . . . "*

How is that even a personal New Year's Resolution in the first place?

I guess because he's been doing nothing to try to keep them safe so that he is resolving to finally do so in the new year?

Bah. His idiocy and cluelessness knows no bounds.

6. You mean he'll do something to keep them safe? He'll never keep that one!
And people say resolutions to diet are hard...

8. Plus a "new year's resolution" implies he's been slack about it before
which is certainly true, but why would he say it that way?

He's so stupid I can't believe he doesn't drool on himself during press conferences.

9. It's hard to find fault with this kind of policy-making.
After all, when he made his "resolution" the action figure president also took all of the following steps to ensure the safety of the troops:

Ate a green M&M.
Saw three birds on a telephone wire.
Put a watermelon seed on his forehead.
Wished on the first star he saw at night.
Threw a coin in a fountain.
Got the biggest part of the Christmas turkey wishbone.
Found a penny and wore it in his left shoe.

How much more reassurance to you need?

12. The Abusuer, the Bully, ...he gives us "Empty Language...the Minutiae stuff,
the BS Level....its his way of controlling us....using language designed to win us over, brainwash us...trouble is: He fucked it up...came out incoherently...almost garbled babbling....

What the Hell kind of a Leader we Americans got anyways? One that confuses us so?

We are paying for our Leader to be a Leader...with Clarity and Wisdom....

Instead, we are being conned and scammed...Bush is giving us Muddy Waters and Bad Losses////

Its NOT FAIR....Bush is a PRESIDENTIAL LEMON....

13. My New Year's resolution (besides the weight losing part) is to keep
calling Nancy Pelosi's office, nagging to have IMPEACHMENT put back ON the table. I think I'll do that EVERY morning.
