He was only the decider for "safe" decisions. He'd have a fall guy for everything else.
~George dubyah Bush
"I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other.
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
President Bush conceded yesterday he's had his struggles with Congress and is bound to have more, joking that "a dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier." Still, he said the relationship is a healthy one after his first six months in office.
Which is funnier?
Second, he's not a Texan nor is he "from Texas." He lived here off and on for years and then decided to hang his hat here so that he could run for governor as a way to get to the White House. The Texas governorship is very, very weak and is basically just a figurehead office. The Lt. Gov. is much more powerful than the Governor.
I'll agree with the rest of your statement! LOL! I'm just sick of being blamed for Bush and for our current gosh awful governor. I was among the 61% of the voters who DIDN'T vote for Gov. Goodhair.
Anyway, fast forward a couple of minutes in their story, and they go on to cover the protests OUTSIDE of where the meeting was taking place. They made it clear in their story that there were anti-Obama protesters, and Obama supporters there counter protesting. No numbers were given, or estimated of how many of each there were, which would have been interesting to know.
The interviewer only spoke with, or had audio on the story with the anti Obama crowd, and here is what they said (paraphrased, as I'm working from memory here):
Women #1: Identified as a woman from Portsmouth: I've lived here my whole life, and I've never seen any of those pro-Obama people before. I think he brought them in especially to disrupt our protest.
Man #1: Identified as a man from Maine: I don't like socialism (never mind that he's never lived in a socialist country so how would he really know??), and socialism is what pre WWII Germany was all about, and Hitler was a socialist, and I don't like Hitler, and Obama is a socialist so I don't like him either.
Man #2: Identified as a man from Maine: I don't think those people across the street are very smart (the pro Obama supporters). I mean, they're being so naive. I can't believe that they would accept a system where the government controls your health care, and would decide who gets to live and who gets to die (I wonder who is really the smart person here, him, or the other pro-Obama protesters).
Note about man #2, said he was also there to protest government run health care, but in a follow questions admitted that yes, he is on Medicare, which ironically enough is government run health care, and he said he's happy with it.
And so on, and so forth it went. Every person that they spoke to, repeated ad nauseum, republican talking points that we've been hearing on talk radio and FoxNews. They covered all of the high points. Hitler was a socialist, so is Obama, so he's just like Hitler. They have death panels in the bill. We don't want government run health care. I also found it funny that the first woman they talked to guessed that the pro-Obama people were from out of town, and yet, every anti Obama protester they talked to on the radio, save her, were all from Maine. And that's fine, because last time I checked, Obama is still President of the United States. He's not some local Congressman from the 1st District of NH.
I also found it very interesting and telling, that they didn't speak to any pro-Obama supporters on tape, and if they did, they didn't air their commentary. It was a totally one sided report, and they didn't refute their stupid little lies, or misinformation.
These people are beyond therapy. They are just lost. They are entitled to their own opinions, and if they want to live with their own facts, they are free to do that, too. What they are NOT free to do is to insist that we live in their knuckle-dragging, clueless little world with them.
So, guys from Maine and local woman who notices strangers only if they are Pro-Obama? Step aside, please. The grownups have serious work to do.
Obama wrote a book. You know who else wrote a book? Hitler.
Obama spoke at a political party convention. You know who else spoke at a political party convention? Hitler.
Obama is married. You know who else had a wife? Hitler.
Obama gives a weekly radio address. You know who else gave speeches on the radio? Hitler.
Obama rides in the back seat of his limousine. You know who else rode in the back seat of a chauffeur-driven car? Hitler.
Hitler used to wear a white shirt and tie. You know who else wears a white shirt and tie? Obama.
Hitler used to have meetings with his cabinet members. You know who else has a cabinet? Obama.
Hitler had generals and admirals who reported to him. You know who else talks to generals and admirals? Obama.
Hitler was the head of state and head of government in Germany. You know who's visited Germany? Obama.
Hitler had a sister. You know who else has a sister? Obama.
Coincidence? I think not.
No matter how hard I try to underestimate these people they cannot even meet my lowly expectations of having just a pinch of rationality and intelligence.
