Here ya go.
http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....ht=george++bush

hey, another shocker. Our next poll should be something like "Church: better than sex? (yes/no)"

I've met maybe two people that voted for him. Election was rigged. He is one of, if not the ,worst president this country has had. I just hope someone can work hard to reverse all the horrible things he's done. The way things are going the US is in big trouble.

Brings to mind when steve colbert asked someone whether they thought George Bush was great or the Greatest president of all time

But Im Canadian, so I probably shouldn't be here.....

I love when he does that. Read my siggy for one of my favorite quotes of his

I like him.

he hasnt been so dumb forever, if you view videos from the wayback machine from when he was governor of texas back in the 90s then you will notice he spoke with eloquence, fluidity, and confidence. Nowadays hes a dumb as a rock. He sure has changed, and he might've been suitable as president a decade ago, but whatever happened he needs to seriously retire.

wheeeeee

Possibly because the liberal media has put him under so much scrutinised that all he can really address is -------------> ZERO. Because he has to be politically correct.

The world can't handle the truth.

Democratize or we'll shoot you.

reality has a well known liberal bias.

but imho:
yah your right he has to be politically correct, he can't just openly admit to not caring about blacks...even if it is the truth.

btw hows the war on terrorism and the war on "fear" going america? any luck killing "fear" yet? maybe you should try bombing anxiety first, then work your way up to fear.

maybe he's a dumbass or has half-baked ideas from his coke days, he could even be a good guy, i dont really know him, but what it really boils down to for me is the pics on the net of the kids in iraq that are blown to ground meat, or the stories of the ones that lost arms and legs and family and say they wish they were dead...btw pics of dead people as a consequence of bush et al's decisions dont have a "liberal media bias". (((unless you count not showing all the happy liberated people right beside it! ...i dont know if that makes up for dead babies though)))) wait didn't god tell bush to go to war? aw god always down for some good ol' fashioned killin kids! did it in the book of Joshua and he's still at it! wat a guy!

oh yah and I'm sure usama and his goons and other dirty terrorists want death to america far less now...im sure they loved hearing of torture in guantanamo and abu gharib, they were probably over joyed to hear tens of thousands of iraqis dead. america is so much safer today then pretty much anytime ever...seriously... why do they even hate america? you help the world so much and (a big and too) you've totally got Jesus on your side! would a "god bless america" fit here?...pppfffffffttttt you know where my vote went.... *goes and hides with Pastro in canada

(((btw america dv ppl I think almost all americans and america is pretty great....don't hate me)))

interesting point, p00p. I wouldn't be surprised if he's been crumbling under the pressure of his post. presidents used to wither out and die after serving just a term or two, and I mean even back in the 19th century when the job was, I presume, way easier than it is now. He's got to be the most hated man in the world by now, and that can't be good for him. The whole thing is pretty suspicious though.

meh. if everyone thinks hes a dumbass, no one suspects him of crashing planes into our buildings.

America has become the world's moderator. We see something we don't like. We handle it. For example, right now Bush seems to not like the idea that Iraq is not a democracy. When we first went over there, it was "War on Terror", now it seems the agenda is being shared with a war on Iraq's government to make it a democracy.

The world is hating us probably because we like to just make everyone conform to our way of life with no regard to the feelings of the people who were already living there. Some people like a certain way of life that doesn't mirror "the west".

George bush doesn't not care about black people

I saw videos of helicopters going there to help the first day, and the mobsters were shooting at the helicopters. It was anarchy. If the people would have acted like human beings and stopped being so selfish, they might have been able to help them sooner.

Lookee here

What gives you that idea?

What that video (that many of us saw the first time it aired) doesn't show is all the white people that were looting as well. Most of the destruction (as far as I understand) was in predominately black areas, so it's not very hard to shoot a video that show's mostly (if not only) blacks looting the stores. It fails to depict how there were families/individuals of all races taking advantage of wide-open stores. Looting, it seems to me, is more dependent on class and social status than race. It's just too easy to create the illusion that it isn't.
And yeah, hearing about the "militants" that were shooting at the rescue choppers pissed me off as well. But, to say that a few screw-loose, self-declared militants are somehow a fitting characteristic for "black people," as if loathing for them justifies the ignorance that Bush may or may not have (though I believe more of the former) against black people as a whole, is wrong.

thats what I said... george bush doesn't not care about black people

It's just that it was too unsafe to send anyone into the city until the... anarchious (word?) attitude settled down

and i said nothing about race after that... those police officers, black, white, brown, purple or polka-dotted, shouldnt be looting at all.

But if you think about it, alot of people in new orleans were religious, they might have thunk it was armageddon or something, not knowing that there was still order everywhere else in the world.

What I'm saying is that I don't think George Bush has any particular care for black people. (not saying that he hates us, simply that he doesn't hold us in the same regard.) You're saying that he does care for black people, and I'm asking how you draw that conclusion.
(I'm assuming your "Doesn't not care" means "does care" in which I'm asking what it is that makes you think that he does care.)

he does care because he did send troops in to help but the situation in new orleans was too violent to approach at the time.

the hurricane relief effort was pathetic, but it wasn't just Bush's fault.

This year my history teacher brought in Marty Bajamonde (sp?) to speak to our class. If you haven't heard of him, he was the ONLY FEMA official in New Orleans during the hurricane. When the levy broke he emailed his boss, telling him to send help asap, and he received a reply from his secretary saying that his boss was going out to dinner and so he would have to wait. Totally outrageous. Anyway from what Marty told us, FEMA completely botched the job. The superdome was packed with thousands of people and there was nowhere to go to the bathroom except, well, anywhere. So here are thousands of young/elderly people, wallowing in their own waste for a few days with no supplies coming in and only one FEMA official, old Marty Bajamonde whose boss insisted on making dinner reservations for him and his wife rather than give the people of New Orleans the attention they needed. Now there's a scumbag who isn't George Bush. The government is full of people like that, and they all work together to collectively not care about anyone but themselves.

Are you sure it wasn't because not sending in a flashy relief effort (as agreeably pathetic as it was) would have been political suicide? Any man with a position of power such as the President has a large audience to cater to if he wants to keep that position. It would be impossible for a president to blatantly ignore such a dire situation. If he values his position as president he has to do something to show that he's thinking of everyone, which is usually why he throws "I understand the peoples' concern" for such and such, just before turning around and ignoring whatever it was the american people were protesting, whether it be the Dubais port deal, the wiretapping program, the war in Iraq, etc. etc.
(Not saying that this was his intent...it's just something to think about.)

And I agree that Bush isn't the only one at fault on these issues, however I don't think that excuses him from any of the blame that should be placed on his head, along side anyone else that turns a deaf ear to their obligation to "serve the american people."

Michael Brown did quite a lot to try to warn the gov't about how the level of catastrophe Katrina may bring (before it happened) in which George Bush himself returned with "We understand, and will be ready and waiting with aid when the storm passes.

He also, allegedly, sent an email to Michael Brown after all was said and done:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/06/09/kat...mail/index.html

It boggles my mind that he was ever elected...he's just so goofy. I couldn't imagine wanting him to represent my country.

Personally, while I believe that Bush is at least somewhat to blame with the Katrina respons, most blame falls on FEMA, who acted like a bunch of bumbling idiots and waited five days to respond. What pisses me off is a little thing called the "Iraq War". More like the "lets throw away over a billion dollars a week war". [says sarcastically] "How Fun!" Personally, I think it's a ridiculous mis-informed failure/lie on the part of the American intelligence angencies and the President meant to wage Bush's personal pro-democracy war, at the cost of hundreds of billions of tax-payer dollars, and the lives of thousands of soldiers (and don't forget the wounded). Just because here we value democracy, it doesn't mean we can go shoving democratic values up the third-world countries' asses. I don't think countries like Iraq are ready for it yet. Given time I think more and more countries will switch to democracy, but I don't think it is something that can be forced on a person. There are some things America can do for the world (like do a more to fight stuff like aids, malaria, and poverty) , but I don't think forcing Western values on third world countries is one of those things. One example of America's not doing enough in my opinion is that the budget for the next FIVE YEARS to fight malaria in Africa is the equivalent of the military budget for ONE DAY.

I like George Bush

Bush is on the same level as Lincoln and FDR. Some think they are some of the greatest presidents we ever had. Others think they are the three worst, who destroyed our constitution at every turn.

Why do some people like them and others think they should of been thrown in jail? Who knows. I don't think I would call any of them "stupid" though, not even Bush.
