In survey of 10 presidents, Bush looks like *****. |
From Reuters, 12/16/05:
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2005-12-16T194126Z_01_DIT670778_RTRUKOC_0_US-BUSH-PRESIDENTS.xml&archived=False
In survey of ten US presidents, Bush fares badly
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
President George W. Bush ranks as the least popular and most bellicose
of the last ten U.S. presidents, according to a new survey.
Only nine percent of the 662 people polled picked Bush as their
favorite among the last 10 presidents.
John F. Kennedy topped that part of the survey, with 26 percent,
closely followed by Bill Clinton (25 percent) and Ronald Reagan (23
percent).
Bush was also viewed as the most warlike president (43 percent), the
worst for the economy (42 percent) and the least effective (33
percent).
But he was rated most highly in response to a question on who would do
the right thing even if it were unpopular.
The survey was conducted by the Chicago-based National Qualitative
Centers, a marketing research company, as part of research for a
forthcoming book on popular preferences, one of its authors, Ken
Berwitz, said on Friday.

That's right Harry, unlike clinton, PRESIDENT BUSH doesn't stick his finger
up in the air and sees which way the wind blows. Sometimes doing the
RIGHT thing is not the popular thing. And doing the popular thing is not
always the Right thing to do.

Right. He sticks his finger up his ***** to see which way the wind blows, the
retard.

Right again.
Unfortunately, Bush stuck his head up his ***** and did the wrong thing.
Unfortunately, the only thing he's done right is admit that he was wrong
about the WMD.
Fortunately, he will be impeached.
Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to get close enough to him to put a
bullet between his eyes like he deserves.

Good grief, you want a king!
Politicians in a democracy are supposed to build on the consensus and
consent of the public. That's why there is no political will to
"complete the mission" because Chimpboy did not say what the mission was
nor did he ask advice on whether to take on his mission. What he had was
a Congress full of neo-con bootlickers--including Kerry--who
rubber-stamped every little stupid thing that popped into Cheney's head,
plus the support the of all layers of media to lie for them. And yet,
many can see the his royal highness has no clothes.
Right. He sticks his finger up his ***** to see which way the wind blows, the
retard.
Sometimes doing the RIGHT thing is not the popular thing. And doing the
popular thing is not always the Right thing to do.
You know what would be the right thing to do during war time? STOP
GIVING THE RICH TAX CUTS! That's would not be a popular thing to do. I
dare them to do that.
Right again.
Unfortunately, Bush stuck his head up his ***** and did the wrong thing.

about the WMD.

I don't envy anyone that task. First, to get a clear shot of his head,
you will have to pull Jeff "Ace Reporter" Gannon out of Chimpboy's *****.

no ***** sherlock. in Bushler's case, his fucking "Right" is everybody
else WRONG thing!!
And doing the popular thing is not

but usually it is.
Bush is a traitor and a criminal - there is no Right in him, outside of
him telling you he is doing right while he destroys our Liberty from within.

"it is absurd that Bush said he relied on his inherent power
as president to authorize the wiretaps. If that's true,
he doesn't need the Patriot Act because he can just make it up as he
goes along.
I tell you, he's President George Bush, not King George Bush.
This is not the system of government we have and that we fought for,"
---Senator Feingold
"Eavesdropping on conversations of U.S citizens and others in the
United States without a court order and without complying with the
procedures of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is both illegal
and unconstitutional. The administration is claiming extraordinary
presidential powers at the expense of civil liberties and is putting
the president above the law,"

director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington Legislative
Office

lol Nope, and yep. And look what we got.
The following are all uncontroversial facts reported in the mainstream media:
On or about Jan. 20th, 2001, as the Clinton administration transitioned
to the Bush, NSC chief Sandy Berger briefed Condi Rice extensively on the
terrorism threat posed by bin Laden, telling her she would be spending
more time on this threat than she ever imagined. At the Dept. of Defense,
William Cohen was performing the same courtesy for Don Rumsfeld, again
with a sharp reminder of the terrorist threat in the form of a hand-written
letter to Rumsfeld containing the phone numbers of people in the Pentagon
Rumsfeld needed to speak to directly on the subject. On Jan. 26th, the CIA
confirmed to the new Bush administration that bin Laden and Al Qaeda were
responsible for the attack on the U.S.S. Cole which killed 17 American
sailors.
The response of the Bush administration was to cease Predator drone
surveillance flights to track bin Laden, reassign the cruise-missile
equipped submarine stationed in the Indian Ocean with the specific mission
of targeting bin Laden, reassign the AC-130 gunships on scramble alert that
could be on top of bin Laden after a six hour flight, suspend the special
forces operations targeting bin Laden already based in Uzbekistan for the
purpose thanks to a treaty signed by Bill Clinton.
In May, June and July, the sole remaining Clinton appointee, CIA Director
Tenet, was frantic with concern over incoming intelligence indicating a huge
terrorist attack on American soil. Vice-President ***** Cheney was head
of a
new counter-terrorism task force, yet held no meetings. Attorney General
John Ashcroft refused FBI requests for hundreds of new agents to be assigned
to counter-terrorism; his concerns were drugs and pornography, yet in late
July he stopped flying commercial airliners due to a "threat assessment."
The general threat assessment was considered to be the most severe in decades
according to CIA's Tenet; members of the Senate Intelligence Committee were
briefed on the situation on July 5th.
Also in July, an Arizona FBI agent wrote the 'Phoenix Memo,' expressing
concern about possible Al Qaeda members taking flying lessons in this
country towards the end of terrorist attacks. One of the two FBI officials
to see it before the attacks was New York counter-terrorism chief John
O'Neill; contemporaneous with the timing of this memo was O'Neill's remarks
to the authors of 'Bin Laden: The Hidden Truth,' wherein O'Neill expressed
his outrage with the Bush administration's thwarting of counter-terrorist
efforts in the interests of protecting its Saudi sponsors. John O'Neill
would soon quit the FBI in disgust, only to die at his new job as chief of
security at the WTC.
Also in July, the FAA rescinded the rule allowing airline pilots to be armed,
a rule that had been in force since 1961.
August found George W. Bush 'vacationing' for the entire month in rural
Texas, while ***** Cheney similarly spent the month in rural Wyoming. On
August 1st actor James Woods as flying from Logan to Los Angeles, sharing
1st class with four Middle Eastern men, who ate nothing, drank nothing,
read nothing, nor slept the entire flight, only making occasional low
comments to one another. Woods remarked to the flight attendant that 'These
guys act like they're going to hijack the plane,' and once the plane landed
he repeated his concerns to the FAA. All four men were hijackers on Sept.
11th. On Aug. 6th, Bush himself was apparently finally briefed about the
specific threat of attacks on American soil. His vacation continued. On Aug.
17th, the Minneapolis FBI office arrested Zacarias Moussaoui, on the basis
of an expired student visa and very curious pilot training requests. FBI
field agents at this office were convinced of Moussaoui's intentions as a
terrorist, and repeatedly tried to obtain a FISA (Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act) warrant to search his computer. In early Sept., French
Intelligence informed both the CIA and the FBI that Moussaoui had Al Qaeda
connections. A FISA warrant remained ungranted against Moussaoui, even
though under Clinton and Janet Reno no FISA request had been refused.
As an interesting aside, before 9/11 Ashcroft was known to put in 3 1/2 day
work weeks at the Dept. of Justice. In the early months of the administration,
FBI agents flew to Ashcroft's home in rural Missouri to obtain his signature
on a wire-tap for a terrorism investigation. Ashcroft was so displeased to
see the agents, he had them stand out in the cold while he sat in his pickup
to read and sign the documents.
On Sept. 4th, Cheney's counter-terrorism task force met for the first time.
According to the Pentagon's liaison for terrorism, Gen. Kerrik, Clinton's
had met almost weekly, but with Bush he "didn't see that same kind of focus."
On Sept. 10, Diane Feinstein, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee
briefed on July 5th, asked ***** Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby when
the administration would start focusing on these terror threats which had
so pre-occupied CIA's Tenet, the most severe in decades - she was told it
would have to wait another six months.
So, obviously, it's all Clinton's fault.
