What if Bush had ....

Let's update this "List of Obama
achievements since inauguration"


Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

List of achievements since inauguration:

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

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a setof inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when GordonBrown had given him a thoughtful and historicallysignificant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you havethought 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 fourth of May (Cuatro 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 potatoe 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 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 10 times within years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

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

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama thatmakes him so brilliant and impressive?  Can't think of anything?  Don't worry.  He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with ananswer.

“But I do have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed, confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice, government that is transparent and doesn't steal from the people, the freedom to live as you choose…..” BARACK OBAMA, speech, Jun. 4, 2009


“Democratic Leaders Plan Secret Health Reform Deliberations” Headline January 10 2009


Ahhhhhh, yeah.

The MFCSer-in-Chief may have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for those things. But That One does not believe they have the RIGHT to those things.

I didn't really mean that, any other way than just exactly how I said it......

ya know.. now that I have re-read the above quote from Obama, the arrogance of it has jumped off the page, out of my PC, off my screen and hit me smack in the face..... "have a say in how you are governed"..

Think about that... "HAVE A SAY IN HOW YOU ARE GOVERNED"???... is NOT what the founders intended This Republic was set up so that WE THE PEOPLE TELL GOVERNMENT HOW WE WILL BE GOVERNED! Not the other way around...


I'm still "Dave in Fl"

In his first year in office the only thing Obama has done right is to give the order to the Navy Seal sharpshooters to blow the dagnabbed heads off the Somali pirates. I'd bet any amount of money that he only did that under great pressure from the military and others who actually care about the security of this country. He couldn't possibly order the destruction of any of his muslim brothers on his own.

He didn't. I think the OIC decided that the captive's life was in danger, and took it upon himself to order the action. O was playing golf or practicing using his teleprompter.
