As the long national nightmare comes to an end...

[Darius871]

Especially as none of the three politicians shown hold their posts any more.

There's four politicians shown. Though even the fourth has since lost at least one of his two hats.

The two Bush memories which stick out most in my mind was him sitting there timidly reading a children's book for 10 minutes after being informed 9/11 happened. Bush just isn't very bright and he can't figure out what to do unless someone tells him what to do so rather then take charge of 9/11 he just sat there. The other memory was of Bush faking to play the guitar at a campaign fund raiser in San Diego while New Orleans was completely destroyed. He just didn't give a ****. Afterwards Bush got in his plane and then went to John McCain's birthday party in Arizona still without doing a damn thing to help hundreds of thousands made homeless and tens of thousands stranded in flooded areas. The man raised being clueless to an art form.

Yes, GWB should have gotten up from reading the book and rushed to NY to personally hold up the towers with his super-strength until every last person had been rescued. And, during the hurricane, he failed to use that super-strength to hold up the dikes and prevent the flooding of NO.

FOR SHAME, GEORGE BUSH! FOR SHAME! You were given those powers to help mankind.

No he should have got of his arse and go and talk with his advisors about what the **** was going on...

[Dauphin]

Dubya sitting around doing nothing was probably less harmful than him trying to actively handle the situation.

[BlackCat]

No he should have got of his arse and go and talk with his advisors about what the **** was going on...

Why ?

[Guynemer]

Why ?

Because that is his ****ing job. (Or was his ****ing job, as of three days from now. EDIT: And thank Christ for that.)

[Naked Gents Rut]

For the last eight years, Democrats have been counting the days until George W. Bush leaves the White House.

Now some of them can’t seem to let him go.

Get help, folks.

This is the most retarded critisism you could possible make. There was nothing wrong with Bush not throwing everyone there into a panic. There was absolutely nothing he could do, no decision he could have made or course of action that would have changed anything. It showed presense of mind.

Read up on what the British Admiralty did when they were informed of the Spanish Armada, and how history categorizes their equivalent response.

The sad thing is that even in Democratic victory you constant inane ranting keeps the Obama victory form vinidcating you personally in any way. You are still just an illogical emotion driven hack.

[DaShi]

How do you really feel Patty?

[Guynemer]

Yup, you nailed it, Patty.

When I think about George W. Bush, I think "presense of mind."

[Dauphin]

Which actions in particular are you refering to? The ones where they attempted to engage the fleet whilst it was being mustered? The ones where they attempted to engage the Armada whilst still in Iberian waters? The ones where they supposedly played boule? The one where they defeated the Armada? The ones where they screwed up the counter-offensive?

Also, how would you like to compare them to what Bush did? I don't want to make assumptions about what you are implying.

How about inquiring into other flights which might not have reported in, and therefore might have to be shot down? Planning his address to the nation at once to prevent panic among that subset of the population which does not routinely wet its pants anyway? Talking about scrambling federal relief of some kind to the crash sites?

Nope, nothing he could have done. Better just stick around, read about a goat.

[Tuberski]

Yup, you nailed it, Patty.

He didn't say whose presence of mind. I'd guess the SS agent told him to stay where he was at.

The building is already secure, why move him before you are ready?

ACK!

ACK!

Was it secured enough to prevent a plane flying into it?

I'm just wondering if they instigate no fly zones around the President like they do around fixed buildings. And if they did, would they be able to shoot down a commercial airliner that contravened that airspace quickly enough.

Sorry, Tubes, but... bull.

1) This entire thread is about Bush. That is who Patty was talking about.

2) The SS is ALWAYS ready to move the President. That is their job. They were ready. He peed his pants.
