1. I see he's installing a pot light.

Could this be a subtle admission of past drug use?

[BOSSHOG]

2. The pictures are pure pornography

for the base. His hammering is as fake as his brush burning. He doesn't give a flying dog fuck about anyone on the gulf coast except how they can be used to make him look good, cause he doesn't look good alone.

[Cyrano]

3. Jeez. This is like giving a chimp a hammer and turning it loose in a house

[Spazito]

Oh. My. God! That tool belt is the last NAIL, ROFLMAO!

I understand the props with photo-ops but this is so far over the top I can't stop laughing!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(trying to catch my breath.....)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SCDem]

7. I know that was my first reaction

OK what is he going to be measuring with the measuring tape there. Has he ever frickin used a measuring tape in his life?

[ronnykmarshall]

12. That's too much.

Somewhere in Dumbfuck, USA some moran is saying: "See? He's a REAL man. We went to work on that house. WOMAN, get me a beer!!"

[ThatsMyBarack]

47. Too funny, ronny!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: , etc.

[wicket]

75. Let me join you....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:D

[SCDem]

4. He is all PR - look at that darn belt

Ok not to mention that he was probably only there long enough to have these pictures taken - but even if he were there longer does he really need half of those things that are hooked to his workmans belt?

[Crankie Avalon]

5. Hey, one of his handlers rolled his sleeves up for him!!!

The rolled up sleeves prove he's working. :think:

[Dora]

6. Somebody bring in the hammer coach.

I handled a hammer better at seven years old than this blathering idiot does, and I'm a girl.

[Lautremont]

16. And the tool belt coach. It's on backwards.

How's he supposed to reach the nails when he needs them? Oh, right - he doesn't need them 'cause he's not really doing anything.

[SoCalDem]

35. He's a Tool Belt Diva.. Too bad he didn't get the official tool belt

[MisterP]

43. ughhhhh

and what's with that picture 2nd from the bottom? did they steal his brain for safekeeping or something?
He looks like he belongs in a zoo

[turbo_satan]

8. Who the fuck are these photos intended for?

Is there anyone stupid enough to think Lord Pissypants did a lick of rebuilding work? I'm willing to bet he didn't even nail in the nail he's posing with. I realize my question is somewhat rhetorical and whimsical, but in all honesty -- is there a scintilla of genuine intent in this photo-op?

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. The last time he tried to use a hammer for a photo op, he whacked his

thumb. :rofl: Phony little pissant. :rofl:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

57. He did, but bent it...

like all the rest of his messes, someone had pull it out and do it right.

[redqueen]

9. There he is, ladies and gentlemen... your PR president.

I'm shocked they didn't have little backdrops behind him for every shot, proclaiming "CARING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE" a bajillion times in red, white, and blue.

[Botany]

10. Oh for the love of God.

You hold hammer by the END OF THE HANDLE ...... that way you get more torque ....
it is called a mechanical advantage ..... You don't hold it in the middle.

[file83]

11. Not even a NUCULOR bomb going off in Dallas would have taken Bush

away from this photo op! This is way more valuable that reading "My Pet Goat" to kiddies (ala 9/11).

[Hutzpa]

13. This should have been his day job.....

we could have done with him hammering in his fingers and thumbs, but hammering his own people with stupid laws and selling the country, now thats just too much to accept.

[liberal N proud]

14. Your doing a heck of a job there young fella - He he he!

[Hand]

26. "Thanks, asshole. Now gimme back my fucking tool belt." nt

[smurfygirl]

30. This guy looks like he works for Blackwater, not building

houses. My dad built houses for 28 years and never did you see one of his guys with their shirt tucked in. He must have known the prez was coming, he is dressed to nice, no tears or spots on his jeans, really nice watch on, and his glasses don't cover enough of the eye area. No sign of sunburn on the back of his neck. Boots look strange...does anyone else notice this?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

62. Those are NOT steeltoes!! somebody call OSHA!

you're right, he's too clean.

[michael_1166]

36. Ok, this close to the mass murderer

security probably even denied the man having his car keys in his pockets.

But at such a close distance, I'd at least fart.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

61. He's not even looking at him.

How rude is it to shake someone's hand, and not even look them in the face?

[MadMaddie]

15. Don't forget the rolled up sleeves....

the rolled up sleeves looks like he is really involved...:sarcasm:

[Kadie]

17. Did you notice he always seems to be wearing the same shirt in these

"rolled up sleeves" photo ops. I wonder if it is the same shirt or if he has a closet full of the same design?

[LisaLynne]

19. It's the same shirt, pre-rolled. :) nt

[Rufus T. Firefly]

18. Note that they never give him power tools...

[MadHound]

20. LOL, duly noted, LOL

And there's a good reason why too. Judging by the way he chokes up on the hammer here, he's probably incapable of handling any power tool safely or correctly. More than likely he would wind up injuring either himself or somebody else.

[Botany]

22. LOL

Have bush cut the corner molding for the house. No need to have those "sissy guards" on em.

[Kadie]

24. ROFLMAO. n/t

[tabasco]

21. It's our ordinary working man President !

I tell you Cyrus, it's nice to have a regular working man for a President, not one of those rich liberal latte-drinking snobs from a wealthy Northeastern family. President Bush understands us working folk. That's why he is fighting against those tax and spend liberals, who want to steal all of our money for taxes to buy Cadillacs for welfare moms.

[FatDave]

23. Tool belt?

Or tool in a belt?

And why is it that in all of these photo op pictures he still looks like an idiot? I mean, the people taking these are trying to make him look good. Can't one of them say "Excuse me, Mr. President, I know it's hard, but could you please try not to look like such a fucking moron?"

[gatorboy]

25. So what's the number of victims at?

Considering how dangerous he is with a bike, I expect with a hammer the casualty number is through the roof!

[NightOwwl]

27. He's gone from slightly overwieght to borderline fatso.

A diet of Jim Beam will do that to you.

[louis-t]

28. Hey, dumbass, you don't hold the hammer in the middle...

Stupid ass. Phonies' phony.

[dogday]

29. Uh, Mr. President, you hit the nail on the other end nt

[leftofthedial]

31. and a prop toolbelt!

what a stud!

Wait a minute. Where's his codpiece?

[spinbaby]

32. It's photo op day

33. what a tool - not the hammer either n/t

37. **Here are a few more photos***

[complain jane]

69. ROTFLMAO!!

"President Bush pulls up his slacks..."

That guy is SUCH an ass.

[katinmn]

72. I think the caption writer shares our assessment of the pretzledent

Bush, trying to look like a hard-working manly-man, hoists up his pants like he's seen other men do.

[KnaveRupe]

71. Wrong caption on first one:

Should read:

"President Bush, right, greets a builder as James Akins, center, tries not to get knocked off the fucking ladder by the WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER., Wednesday, March 8, 2006. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)"

[Kadie]

73. ROFL

Poor guy is trying to not get knocked off that ladder. Someone needs to teach * about job safety before the next photo op.

[Ilsa]

38. He put on the tool belt because he heard that J.Gannon was

coming to cover the story. He was hoping Jeffy would wear his as well.

[spanone]

39. Bullshit photo ops probably really make New Orleans feel better.

This POS should get out of town and let these people work.

[MrSlayer]

40. Who the hell puts up a hi-hat with nails?

What a joke.

[Ilsa]

41. Here's a close up of that tool belt:

Bob the Builder
Can we fix it
Bob the Builder
Yes, we can

Bob the Builder
Can we fix it
Bob the Builder
Yes, we can

Time to get busy, such a lot to do
Building and fixing till it's good as new
Bob and the gang make a really good sound
Working all day till the sun goes down

[Maru Kitteh]

63. That may have been the tool belt but here's the actual tools

[paineinthearse]

42. Bet the handlers would NEVER allow * to handle a saw!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

44. "this old louse"

[stlsaxman]

45. Captions- pic 1 "If i had a hammer... oh wait- I DO!"

pic 1: (alternate caption-) "now... which are the nails and which are the wood?"

pic 2: "So he points to the back of the garbage truck and says 'that's a waste of a perfectly good n****r!'- heheheheh".

pic 3: (two seconds after shutter clicked) "AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHH FFFFFUUUUUCCCCCC-----!!!"

Pic 4: Bush: "Can someone get me a pry bar and some ice for this guys hand?"

pic 5: Bush: "Hey i did uh 8 hour shift in twenty minutes... where's my pay and where's the beer??"

[hippiegranny]

46. He is such a goofy fuck

I cannot see why anyone thinks of him as "resolute."

[ThatsMyBarack]

48. I hate the 1st photo!

* looks like a BIG baby who thinks that everything's a toy for him. No, Georgie, PUT IT DOWN!!!!! :spank:

[brainshrub]

49. Here is Jimmy Carter:

When Jimmy Carter helps people, it isn't for pretend.

[ThatsMyBarack]

50. Nice!

Now that thar's a real man! :applause:

[brainshrub]

51. You said it sister!

Remember when Presidents were people you could admire?

[Kadie]

74. That is a great photo.

Thanks for posting.

[uppityperson]

52. He's soooo manly, but better than wearing one of these Carhart Thongs

54. Bwaaaaa! What a cute butt!

needs a wax job, though. :)

[Tinksrival]

68. Speaking of wax....

Bushy getting kinda bushy, doncha think?

[Tin Man]

56. Bahawahaha - good one!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[katinmn]

53. "Bush, right, hammers a nail with James Akins"

Wow. How many does it take to hammer one nail? I guess it takes the Capitol Press Corps flying in on Air Force One!

[Bluebear]

55. Are they rebuilding Trent Lott's house here? nt

[tuvor]

58. bush is not good with hammers. (Toles cartoon)

[bvar22]

59. Ha ha ha ha ha...he hammers like a girl!

He chokes up on that hammer handle like a new kid in the PeeWee league.


No offense intended to the many fine female carpenters out there.

[Maru Kitteh]

64. Did you see the tools he was using?

[Swamp Rat]

60. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ... No need to photoshop!

:rofl:

[ThatsMyBarack]

77. I'll caption it:

AAAAGGGH!!!! HEEELLLLLP!!! I'M STUUUUCK!"

;)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

65. That doofus has never handled any tool

other than his own.

[hootinholler]

66. Not even

Gannon's cannon?

-Hoot

[troubleinwinter]

67. 5 yrs of the blue tablecloth shirt is enough. Get a new fucking shirt.

Red plaid, green, yellow, anything.

The marketing research showing that "pale blue tablecloth gives a caring, soft and gentle appearance" is FUCKING OBSOLETE!

We know you love the Nazi/Dictator style flight jackets with insignias, so justy GO with it.

[KnaveRupe]

70. Wear the tools on the belt, not the belt on the Tool. n/t

[Chimichurri]

76. Yes, because construction workers all wear tool belts with their slacks.

He is beyond ridiculous.

He sure does love to play dress up and make-believe for that matter.
