Putting Things Into Perspective: What If George W. Bush had ...

Since Obama is so fond of blaming Bush as his first line of defense.....

Via Free Republic

What If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the Fifth of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potato as “proof” of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he is inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

peter sanz is quite offended feel free to go under peter san's school bus

[Peter sanz]

Unfortunately for all of us, GW didnt have the brains or political intellect to do any of this.

Poor guy was a 13 year old in a 50 year olds body. LOL.

[Peter sanz]

Botox...you know alot about me. I feel like a celeb. Thanks man. LOL.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

poor guy was a 13 year old in a 50 year olds body

You got that right if he were smart like obama he would be calling austrian an language or speaking like derrr um doy doy dde ha de doo or better yet he would interfere in affairs of other people when he specifically said he wouldn't LOL

[Elric66]

This is what I mean by incoherent.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

Your welcome Peter braindead now feel free to go the helen thomas thread and throw her under your bus vroom vroom

[Peter sanz]

Hey guys, guess what in store for all of you? another 7.5 years of Mr Obama!!

Who do you lined up anyways? Bobby Jindall? Alot of you love Palin but i think the smarter people in the GOP know what a disaster she is.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

hey guys guess whats in store for you another life term for obama

dude obama won't lst another term and when palin or whoever the GOP has in store win don't try to pop an vein kay sweetie lol

[Elric66]

Why is she a disaster Peter?

Right now I would be thinking of 2010 if I were you. Thuggy is at a minus 2 and things are going to get a lot worse. A lot of Dems will be paying the price of thuggy's ummmmm thuggery.

[90]

Oh that's just another way of enjoying the second hand smoke that has collected in President CancerStick's nostrils.

[Peter sanz]

Elric, why dont you ask the GOP why they are distancing the party from her?

The small and irrelevant extremist in the party are great fans of hers but besides them everyone knows she is without any real substance. If she takes the next 7.5 years and really works on herself, she might put up a fight but doesnt stand a chance to win.

[Wingnut]

Why is she a disaster Peter?

I hope your not expecting a coherent answer with an argument. If you are then you are about to experience epic disappointment.

[Shawarma Wife]

Alot of you love Palin but i think the smarter people in the GOP know what a disaster she is.

You know, funny though that this is about the same thing that Frederick Douglass (and because, according to your Master, your education is so low that you're not supposed to know who he is) said about all the women ("women’s' place is not in the politics") after he achieved his goal, despite the fact that many suffragists were on his side for his cause in hope he'll do the same for them. You see, Peter, you, as an average lefty, never provide any prove, fact or argument. You are just like a shitty waiter flipping the bird to the customers in hope nobody sees you, but even when somebody notices, guess what - nobody cares.

[Last Angry Man]

"So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?"

He's their man. That's all, apparently, that it takes to them.

[Peter sanz]

The proof is how she conducted herself during the last election. Besides all of you extremist, everybody realized she could barely carry herself.

Obama a sharp man. Respected by most people and leaders not only in America but all around the world.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

now now peter sanz big ol meanie shawarma wife hurt your feelings now go give a BJ to your obama cutout

[Peter sanz]

He's our man, Angry man. Our leader, our president :)

[Elric66]

"The proof is how she conducted herself during the last election. Besides all of you extremist, everybody realized she could barely carry herself."

Thats pretty vague Peter. Try being more specific. I know its difficult for a lib but please try.

"Obama a sharp man. Respected by most people and leaders not only in America but all around the world."

Well Acmadinijhad, Kim Jong Ill and Hugo Chavez seem to love him. Ill give you that. Funny you mention "sharp". He doesnt sound that way off teleprompter.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

he's our man angry man and our president :]

Not only that you loser you make out with a cardboard cutout of him you sick twisted pervert

[TRB - the REAL Bob]

Be patient El. You're trying to communicate with a baby who has an IQ of 80 and no education, only indoctrination. All he knows how to do is react and repeat. He does not know how to think.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

not only that he also makes out with his obama cardboard cutout

[Shawarma Wife]

Peter.
It's not the proof, it's your opinion. But I'm still eager to see the actual fact: HOW did she conducted herself? Oh, and don't bring this bullshit again about "respected by most people in the world".
One more thing: the other day O. Stone told said that Reagan was a dumb. Does it make him a dumb? You truly believe that leaders are judged by their sharpness and not by their deeds? You see, Peter, I was twenty too, and was as radical lefty as you are now and know very well the way you think - and look where I'm today. Be afraid. Be very very afraid.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

Peter is too busy wanking off with his obama cutout shawarma

[Last Angry Man]

"He's our man, Angry man. Our leader, our president :)"

Yes, he will scorch you with his evil eye, nag you to death with his pontifications, and wave his magic hand to make all things possible.

Well, Lenin DID say something about useful idiots and all...

[Elric66]

No he doesnt Bob. Its amazing how people this intellectually challenged can even function in society.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

LAM this guy is wanking off and continous wanking will lead to douschebagitis the signs of this mental disorder are: Being an far left idiot calling us terrorists because we get a hard-on at the death of terrorists talking about jewish nazis and reich wing propoganda unfortunately it is not curable and will transgress into the person ranting and raving about slutty flight attendants

[Shawarma Wife]

Oh, and another thing. Obama is sharp only for people who love to use words like idiot way too much. For more educated people Obama uses the very normative standard political language. It's the VOICE, and the TONE of his speeches that makes you crawl to his cutout...

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

hahahahahahahahahahahahah shawarma wife oh my fucking god i almost broke a rib from my laughing

[ZIP]

Sorry to disappoint, but Mr Sanz has left the building....

He had a good run.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

too bad ZIP i would have loved to see him call his daughter a thoughtless pig again

[Shawarma Wife]

Its amazing how people this intellectually challenged can even function in society.

Posted by: Elric66 | July 01, 2009 at 08:35 PM
You know what, I still think he has a potential to evolve. How many lefties come to their opponents blogs and even try to prove (well, not really) the point? He's a young man, still has some time to develop to the fully grown person. Let the arguments settle. Four - seven years - and his mama won't recognize him. And for you, Pete: read the book of D. Horowitz "Radical Son". Hate him or like him - just read it.

[Elric66]

If I remember correctly, Horowitz was a far leftist.

I do hope you are right, that he can grow out of it. he will be voting in 2 and 4 years.

[PelosiandBotoxshow]

hrowitz is no longer a far lefty btw i don't hate him he seems ok

[Shawarma Wife]

His parents were devoted commies, he was a Marxist- socialist - as far left as you can see. Today he's a hard core conservative. Are you reading, Pete? Soon in your house...

[Shawarma Wife]

PB, my "hate" comment related to Pete (to read a neo-con's memoire? pahlease). But good for him for trying - go figure, may be something good will grow from those messages.

[90]

I hereby dub him President Boog CancerStick!

[90]

Man he has half his finger up his nose. That means he is digging deep! Dig deep booger at the bottom!

[90]

It's simple, Obama is a gangster.

[AngryAmerican]

"Obama a sharp man. Respected by most people and leaders not only in America but all around the world."

You're confused - what you think is respect is actually the jubilation of foreign leaders, who now realize they can pull one over the eyes of this fool.

[Mart]

"Obama a sharp man. Respected by most people and leaders not only in America but all around the world."

The only people respecting him as of late have been terrorists or big time wankers like hugo chavez.

The irony is that Obama is more likely than anyone else on this planet to start WW3 because of the way he panders to extremists and cowers confrontation. He is basically inviting all hell to brake loose on this planet!

[deez]

If Palin was black, what's the difference between her and Obama?

If she were black, she would have gotten into Harvard AND been a varsity athlete.

[Atom&Yves]

If Peter having 'left the building' means he won't be returning, I must admit, I'll be a bit disappointed at not being able to watch him wither and die on the WZ vine. Much the same as our illustrious Mayor, years ago I was very liberal. People can and do mature/change with age. My best to Peter, in that regard.

[TRB - the REAL Bob]

I have no regrets, A&Y. I give this no more thought than I do when I throw out the trash.

[Kevin in Brownsburg]

peter sans = sans peter
sans peter, describes any typical libdouche.

[sharon Colona]

> IN GOD WE TRUST
>
> If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

FACT: Baracks self deprecating humour got the best of him. Not in good tase and cannot defend this. The chairman of Special Olympics did accept his apology and offered to have a special Olympian who had bowled 3 perfect games to go to white house and give the President some lessons. :)

> If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

FACTGeorge bush gave Gordon Brown a Bomber Jacket in which Gordon Brown promptly gave to charity, I imagine that was a better gift?

>
> If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
>
FACT: It would...if only the ipod had any Obama Speeches on it. It did however have show tunes that she has been well known to like and pictures of a visit she had to the U.S. Nothing about Obama was on the IPOD... so this is just a flat out lie. but while we have the queen in mind I would be a little mortified if my president winked at her.

> If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

Are we seriously going there? SOMEONE PLEASE GOOGLE BUSH AND KING OF SAUDI ARABIA SO YOU CAN SEE THEM HOLDING HANDS AND KISSING FOR PHOTO OPS.

>
> If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian
> language ," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

FACT: This did actually happen and is remnicent of Bush thanking Australian premier John Howard for allowing him to visit their 'Austrian' troops... funny how soon we forget.
Also, who can forget when Bush said he "doesn't speak mexican"....Is that a language?

>
> If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to
> keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

FACT: If Tim Geitner is considered "FILLING HIS CABINET AND CIRCLE OF ADVISORS" then this is correct. There is not one other cabinet or advisor that has had any discrepencies in taxes.

>
> If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of
> the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it
> when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

FACT: yes that would have been embarassing. However, another lie. (You have to question why there would be so many lies in only one e-mail. What do republicans have against the truth?)
It was a joke becasue they were celebrating it a day early.
Quote: "Bienvenidos. Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro -- (laughter) -- Cinco de Mayo at the White House. We are a day early, but we always like to get a head start here at the Obama White House." was the exact quote.

>
> If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years
> like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?

FACT: This is just incorrect. It is a handwritten letter that had the word "advice" in it and someone mused that his "c" looked like an "s"..... Seriously? This is to the point it is humorous.
>
> If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”,
> would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

FACT: In 2004 Bush flew to wells maine to celebrate earth day, In 2005 Bush flew to Tenessee to celebrate earth day...we could go on and on....but no one seems to care how much Bush spent so this would be pointless. Otherwise we would have seen big e-mails making fun of bush flying around for earth day, which did not happen.

>
> If George W. Bush’s administration had OK’ed Air Force One flying low over millions of people

> wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?

FACT: If the George Bush administartion allowed saudi evacuees to leave our country within 6 days of the attacks and then denied it until the 9/11 commission record came out and then rewound the first lie and stated ... When Roemer asked "why the Saudis were allowed to leave the country, who were on the planes, how many, and why the decision was made," Clarke said the government "feared for their lives...some of them were bin Laden family members, and the Saudi embassy requested their evacuation."
The Saudi embassy requested there evacuation after we had been hit by all Saudi Ariabians and this was allowed?????? WTF?
Where was your anger and "wondering" then???

FACT: The president uses a telaprompter for his opening remarks at press conferences, after that it is never used for questions. IF YOU HAVE EVER WATCHED THE PRESIDENT IN A PRESS CONFERENCE YOU WOULD KNOW THIS.
>

FACT: 1836 people killed and over 275,000 homes were lost in Katrina. The midwest flood killed 24 people and approx. 10,000 homes were lost. What is the comparison and what does it have to do with Barack that has passed additional funding for the midwest flood relief?
This e-mail is ignorant to the point of embarrasing... does anyone fact check this stuff at all or do you just send it out hoping people will believe it?
>
> If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two

The national debt in Jan. 2001 was 5.7 Trillion
The National debt in Jan 2009 was 10.7 trillion.
Was this a trick question? What IF Bush nearly doubled the debt?
>
> If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within years, would you
> have approved?

Can I get the place that proposal came from? Funny enough I cannot find a quote from Obama proposing to double the debt again 10 times within the next few years. and by the fact checks of this e-mail I am going to go out on a limb and say this too has been fabricated. ,B/>

> If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

FACT: George Bush took a total of 237 Vacations (1020 DAYS) during his presidency. This is an average of 2.5 vacations per month every month he was in office. Are we seriously talking about baracks ONE NIGHT IN NEW YORK?
"George W. Bush had made 149 trips to and spent 487 days at Camp David, with another 77 getaways to (and 490 days at) Crawford. Toss in 11 visits and 43 days at his folks' compound in Kennebunkport, Maine and President Bush spent 1020 days - 35% of his presidency - getting away from the White House. Breaking the record for vaction days."
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK THAT RAN US?
