The President Surveys His Own Damage
Jul 3rd 2008 10:11AM
Filed Under:ePresident Bush, Bush Administration, Featured Stories, Humor, Viral Video
With a little over 200 days left until the end of Bush II--either the worst presidency of all time or a wholesome and exciting eight years depending on whom you talk to--the President has finally come to his senses.Thanks to The Onion, which has evolved from a simple but effective Smoove B vehicle into a flash-tastic news powerhouse, we have this breaking story concerning President Bush's efforts to observe the crushing damage caused to America... by his own presidency. (When you're done with this one, check out the one on Fastfood Feedbags!)
Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency

We're beginning to understand why Barack Obama keeps protesting so vigorously against the prospect of "George Bush's third term."
MAYBE HE'S WORRIED THAT SOMEONE WILL NOTICE THAT HE'S THE CANDIDATE WHO'S RUNNING FOR IT!
Most Presidential candidates adapt their message after they win their party nomination, but Obama isn't merely "running to the center." He's fleeing from many of his primary positions so markedly and so rapidly that he's embracing a sizable chunk of President Bush's policy. Who would have thought that a Democrat would rehabilitate the much-maligned Bush agenda?
VOTE JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

The damage has already been done. Bush will go down in history as the worst president ever.
tom12:05PMJul 3rd 2008
There still are some who are proud of what he has done, and could not have done as much as he has even if they were in power. Guess who?
tom12:33PMJul 3rd 2008
I recall reading about how Bush was always isolated from protestors. I imagine that his daily reports were also selected to isolate him from protests. Not sure who is responsible for that, if Bush himself wanted it that way or if his staff thought it would be the right thing to do. But it does look like he is noticing how the world perceives him.
Tuffyz12:38PMJul 3rd 2008
Bush is a great President.
I am not alone in saying that. There are millions of us who would vote for him again if given the chance.
There are also millions of us who are more than ready to vote the DemoRATS out of office when the opportunity arises.
It's sad that people are so ignorant and/or brain dead that they allow the media to make decisions for them.
It is also sad that people forget their history and that the Dems are also very responsible for a lot of what is wrong with America today.

Bush took off his blinders! Now, if the remaining neocons would only do the same. Bush is rich for life, while we pay and pay and pay.

SOVIET & CHI-COM VOLUNTEER'S TO IRAN???
Well, not only does the United States Miliary Industiral Complex cost the United States Taxpayer more money than any nation on the face of earth, we spend more on it that the entire world spend on theirs total. We seem be heading to spending even more plus scrapping the volunteer service.
Adm. Mullen the Head of the Joint Chief of Staff say's we would once again streach our volunteer service if necessary to cover yet another war a pre-emptive war with Iran.
Before the end of the year (October) either Israel or the United States will attack Iran (1) If Iran is able to reach a level of air DEFENSE to protect its own sovereignty, or (2) Have produced enough fussionable to produce a nuclear weapon.
Never mind the United States never attack France, The Soviet Union, The People's Republic of Red China, The Peoples Republic of North Korea, Pakistan, or any other country on the face of the globe for developing either a nuclear weapon or developing an Air Defense system for its own defense.
So, Adm. Mullens and all these highly and over paid industrial military complex nuts have taught this all thru have they? What if the New Soviet Union, and The Peoples Republic of Red China, were to send volunteer forces into Iran, at the request of a sovereign Iran, and paid for by a sovereign Iran, to protect the sovereiignty of Iran, against not just a possible threat but a promised and probable attack, that effects are three parties concerned?
The question for all these over paid (1/3rd) of (1%) of the American Population is where is your brain up your back side and locked? Are, you and The Commander in Chief ready to start the last and final war?
Land of the Free and the Brave, or the Insane Out Of Control Military Industrial Complex?

Bush will continue to be the worst president if John McCain is not elected, otherwise McCain will wrestle the title from him. Just like Bush, McCain doesn't like to write or read and they both just made it through college, so that's another thing they have in common. Bush/McCain third term? No way, except if we're all brain dead.
Jim3:09PMJul 3rd 2008
Obama tried to hide his 3 week stay in Pakinstan from the public.. While he was a college student. Thats why he didn't want his passport information to get out..
Wonder what Obama learned while staying with these People..
It all sounds very innocent, "a college trip to Pakistan".
Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).
Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.
There would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:
To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every "True Believer".
For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.
In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.
Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone's family in 1981.
Now lets get into something else here..
WHAT OBAMA DOESN'T WANT VOTERS TO KNOW ABOUT HIS UNCLE
WRIGHT..
http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/03/20/rev-wright-got-his-masters-degree-in-islam-in-west-africa/
Wrights Own Words..
Most of our members do not know that my Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School was in the area of Islam in West Africa during the 19th Century — when the trans-Atlantic Slav
Trade was at its zenith. Islam has as many manifestations as Christianity and Judaism.
Rev Wright teacher of Islam was a DR Fazlur Rahman..
Once the election was underway, Barack Hussein Obama was very careful to promote himself as a Christian and the keystone of his Christian identity was Trinity Church, a Church shaped around a former Musli
whose Divinity School Masters Degree was on Islam and who used the Church to preach hatred for America and support for terrorism. That man of course is Jeremiah Wright.
With the revelations that Jeremiah Wright is a former Muslim and received his Masters degree from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School on Islam in Africa– Obama’s affiliation with Wright’s Trinity Church takes on a whole new meaning.
When Obama attended Wright’s Trinity Church, was he really attending a Church or a Mosque that Wright had built with a Christian facade over it.
Wright has admitted to incorporating ideas from Black Muslims into Trinity. He himself is a former Muslim who promotes an Islam centered view of America and Israel as demon states. There are Synagogues that are actually Churches dedicated to targeting Jews. Muslims have been covertly imitating some of this. There is a Jews for Allah and Muslims have been trained to lead religious discussions with Christians by equating Christianity with Islam , proclaiming that they too believe in Jesus. If there are Messianic Christian synagogues, why not a Prophetic Christian mosque?
Either way, conspiracy theories aside, the Church that Obama was attending had more in common with a Mosque than with a conventional Church. It was led by a former Muslim whose specialty was and is Islam. A former Muslim who hates America and Israel and who preaches ideas that are basically Black Muslim ideas. So Obama’s claim that Trinity Church normalizes him as a Christian goes out the window, because Trinity Church is no mainstream Christian Church. It’s as close as anyone can come to attending a Mosque without actually attending a Mosque.
Consider Obama’s “I’m not a Muslim” defense reverted back to square one. Or is that Mosque one.
Also Obama’s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group’s official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America’s Declaration of Independence.
copy of manifesto.... Guess Obama didn't see this one either...
...http://www.bizzyblog.com/wp-images/TUCChamasColumn072207.jpg
This is how Obama learned to lie so well..
http://www.islam-watch.org/Warner/Taqiyya-Islamic-Principle-Lying-for-Allah.htm
here is how taqiyya is used in america..
http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-9730604_ITM
Go back and review al of Obama's rallies and debates, and you waitness a highly skilled taqiyya-tactican in each and every one...

THAT'S NOT A ROLL OF QUARTERS!
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: Still, separation of church and state has long been relegated to the status of the Pirate's Code, e.g. "...more like guidelines, really."
REPLY: I prefer the Pirates Code as it didn't get into RELIGION! Tommy Christoper is a Roman Catholic, and like many of not only the Roman Catholic Religion it's not limited to them, all of the Religous nuts want control of the power of the state.
Just who is going to get the lions share of the Taxpayers give away? The Roman Catholics, The Republican Religious Right "If I am unable to raise this much money, God came to me in a dream and said he would call me home, "White Guy's", The "God Damn America" Democratic Left "Black Guy's, The Dual Citizen Jewish American Guy's, The Mormons, the Muslims, the Baptist, just who?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: People who have a hard time saying the entire "Lord's Prayer" without switching to the "Pledge of Allegiance" halfway through (and saying "invisible, with liberty...")
REPLY: Just who's Lord? Just who's prayer? Why do I have to support the religious belief's of Tommy Christoper and the Roman Catholic Church? And, this is not only a Roman Catholic Tommy Christoper it's a (PDN) Presumptive Democratic Nominee's Unity Church or any other oranized RELIGION? You religious nuts including Billy and Frank Graham have your rights to your relion, but NOT at my expenses! You have to pledge (10%) of your incomes to your religion, and now you want to stick your hand into my pocket. Well let me warn you there is a hole in my pocket and that's not a roll of quarters in it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TOMMY CHRISTOPER:will insist to pollsters, over and over, that they must have a Christian president, so I guess we deserve it.
REPLY: Well we saw how that turned out with a faith based Bush, and most of the Democratic Party if not the nation would go back to a say your religious Clinton. One was getting himself screwed while the other is still screwing us, I don't want RELIGION, I don't want to pay for other's RELIGION in or out of government, I want a government at work's, I don't want them on their knees praying to who know's what god, I want them on their feet working to get the Peoples Work and Will Done.
ALL YOU RELIGIOUS NUTS KEEP YOUR HANDS OUT OF MY POCKETS, THERE EMPLY AND THAT'S NOT A ROLL OF QUARTERS!
Char4:42PMJul 3rd 2008

OBAMA-BIN-LIAR7:08PMJul 3rd 2008
Obama is a flip-flopper and it was proven loudly and clearly by his actions. In 2002 when he ran for his current seat in the senate, he proclaimed he would not seek higher office in 2008. Well we now know what his CHANGE messages really meant, he can change his mind regardless of what he had said.
Obama did not wear a flag pin on his lapel, he claimed he was patriotic, no need to show it.
However late May 2008, when he met the veterans, without shame he did wear one to appease the veterans for votes. Well Obama supporters may say these facts are minor. Maybe so, but minor facts define his characters or lack of. Needless to say, his actions show he would say and do anything to get elected. He has been singing praises of HRC under party unity disguise, the naked truth is again without shame he appeased her supporters for votes.
During the primaries, he often criticized his opponent's judgment. He himself admitted bad judgment in Rezko's land deal. Using his good judgment, he also spent almost 20 years as a member of Rev. Wright's church. The same Rev. who spewed hatred in his fiery sermons, the same Rev. who is Obama's spiritual advisor, close family friend and godfather to his children. Obama at first stuck with his good friend by throwing his own grandmother under the bus, then finally he had to denounce him when he was collecting too much bad publicity. Friendship only goes so far, Dem nomination is far more important. Again he would do and say anything to get elected.
Obama seized the nation's pulse and singing CHANGE like a parrot; judging from his words and actions, it is not likely those CHANGES will happen.
He is just another slick politician who has done a great job disguising himself.
HE "HOPES" WE WON'T NOTICE ALL THE "CHANGES" HE'S MADE.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
phenicierestore8:55PMJul 3rd 2008
ok, so you hate Bush....what's new about that? When the liberals take over America and your taxes go through the roof, and the jobs are all lost and the Chinese 300,million man army marches on to our main land ,after they and every other enemy bombs us.... make sure you remind yourself how one man tried to stand for what was right and you made a fool out of him. may you rot for ever.
REPLACE-DEMS-IN-CONGRESS10:14PMJul 3rd 2008
OBAMA DENIES EVERYTHING UNTIL HE GETS CAUGHT --- THEN THEN HE MAKES A GREAT SPEECH AND THE MEDIA AND DNC PROTECT THEIR 'GOLDEN BOY'!
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS "SELECTED" --- NOT "ELECTED". The DNC and biased media hid his sordid past until over half of America had voted.
Does anyone doubt Obama’s ability to "stage" events after this?
I mean a speech in Independence, Missouri about “patriotism”, while a surrogate talks trash about McCain’s military service. There's something wrong when a “presidential” candidate feels they need to give a speech and EXPLAIN “PATRIOTISM”.
Obama is taking a very low road after pledging to have a campaign that doesn't sling mud. I guess this is just another flip-flop by Obama.
His "words" and speeches mean nothing to this Independent anymore.
I get it, he“HOPES” you won’t notice how many times he “CHANGES” his position to suit the audience, the polls, the prevailing winds — or whatever!
This guy is the biggest fraud to come down the pike in the history of this country.
Wake up America!
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
