Bush Lies to Media and they abruptly cut him off CNBC

[lovuian]

After telling viewers Bush was going to talk about Energy and having all the people behind him carrying signs about $2.00 gas

after expecting him to talk about Oil
Bush instead talked about Social Security and started screaming at the Older people saying Your going to get your checks already

the Network cut him off and apologized for saying it was about oil!!!


Anybody else see it!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Hmmm...

Chimpy has a public decompensation?

[Cocoa]

2. lol

"screaming at the old people." that's about right.

[lovuian]

25. he was screaming and the Veins in his head & face werebulging

It was directed at the old people in the audience. He was furious!!!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. They should have continued to run it.

The man has a vile temper and it would be good for the common American to see him in action.

It's nice to know he's winning the hearts and minds of those he's out schilling to. Nothing like exploding on a bunch of elderly people to show your true colors.

[RaleighNCDUer]

46. Yes. I also have a vile temper, and my veins bulge out when I

start talking about the vote in NC,

but I'm not POTUS so who gives a shit.

We need people to see who * really is.

[ailsagirl]

80. He's like a spoiled little kid who isn't getting his own way

Which is precisely what he is except he's not little. Mentally, maybe, but that's about it.

You can just TELL he's gone through life getting effing everything he's wanted-- and bringing down the country, apparently, is his fondest dream.

What a sick freak.

[wtmusic]

109. Xactly

Better to have him frothing about this than with his finger on the button...

[w4rma]

130. They cover for him.

This sounds alot worse than the Dean Rebel Yell.

[pauliedee]

160. They protect McCain too

MSNBC hid the Cablevision story...

[rniel]

140. Weren't all these people bused in

just like usual. These are bush supporters he's yelling at. They had to sign the oath.

[pauliedee]

159. Just like when Kerry got to him in 2nd Debate

Remember? He started charging at moderator Charlie Gibson and interrupted "I gotta answer this!!!! Ask sergio Ber@#$%% if we're going it alone!!" :o :freak:

Kerry had Boy George SOOOOOO flustered and panicked!!!! It was GGGGREAT!!! Kerry slapped him right upside his head!
:spank:

[pauliedee]

161. Bush panicked and screamed at the moderator

He was sooooo flustered, made an ass of himself!!! :wtf:

[pauliedee]

162. Bush attacked ABC'sCharlie Gibson in 2nd debate!!

T'ere's a rumor about a draft on the INTERNETSSSSSSSSSS!!!

What an ass....
He go pummelled so bad by John Kerry. For that I'm eternally grateful to Kerry and want more in 2008!!:kick:

[pauliedee]

163. There's a rumor of a draft on the INTERNETSSSSSSS!!!!!

What an asss!!!!!!!!! :argh:

[pauliedee]

164. Kerry made fun of Bush next day in Ohio!!!

Kerry: "Two debates, two wins!! For a minute, I thought he was gonna steamroll Charlie Gibson!!!" Ohio audience was rolling on the floor!!! :yourock: John Kerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[redqueen]

3. Are you teasing us?

I hope someone got a clip of it if this is for real...

[crispini]

4. Wow, really?

The media is showing some 'nads? Good for them. More, please.

[LiberalinNC]

5. Such compassion!

:puke:

[MyDogSpot]

6. I look forward to the day

when Rove is feeding the Chimp his "vitamins" in Cheney's bunker before it all comes crashng down.

[ryan_cats]

11. That's a scary image

If the official Doctor of the White House is named Theo Morrell, I would start to worry big time.

He's the guy who shot Hitler up with meth every day.

I'm afraid to think what scrub-ya gets for medicine. The rw complained when they said Clinton didn't make his physical public, then we damn well have a case to know what drugs our supreme loser in chief is taking.

[hootinholler]

99. Well, dammit if they can piss test privates...

They sure as hell ought to piss test the Commander in Thief!

New campaign anyone?

-Hoot

[merh]

7. Not that I don't believe you, but . . .

the media showing the chimp in a bad light, you have got to be kidding.

What have you been smoking?

[lovuian]

40. No the Media was upset that they were lied to about what

Bush's speech was about. They were embarassed and as a result cut off the speech which they told viewers before that he was going to talk about oil.

Don't know if you guys are aware of this but Oil prices are breaking records today.

You would think our fearless leader would be talking about that!!!

[merh]

47. Damn it, I meant to fill up my tank last night.

I had heard the prices were rocketing!

I bet you he doesn't know about gas prices, it stays in his bubble.

[EVDebs]

8. The media self-censors due to payola from Operation Mockingbird

and a steady stream of pre-packaged pre-sourced storylines. The uber company vants et dat vay.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Right

So if Bush does something stupid they'd cut him off. Go figure.

[me b zola]

84. Which is why he doesn't make many public appearences

;-)

[tsuki]

70. And videos.

[DulceDecorum]

115. Bush makes videos that you heathens ignore.

Like no other president in the history of our nation, George W. Bush boldly, publicly, and genuinely lives out his faith on the job. According to BBC correspondent Justin Webb, “Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It’s not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles.”

This powerful non-political program offers a never-before-seen insider’s look at how one man’s dedication to prayer and the daily application of God’s Word has transformed his life. His dependence upon God gave him the exact clarity of vision and quiet confidence needed to lead us through the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Witness for yourself George W. Bush’s remarkable journey of faith – from the bar room to the Oval Office – in this behind-the-scenes full-length documentary feature.

Decide for yourself whether President Bush’s faith has been good for America! But whatever you decide, his faith will change and inspire you! 70 Minutes. DVD Contains Many Additional Bonus Features.

[Skittles]

123. the only time bush is on his knees

is when he's sucking off Dick and Karl

[louis-t]

149. um gonna be sick

I keep seeing the face of this woman in an old Hitler propaganda reel. She was in an audience and Hitler drove by. She looked like she was possessed. She had the same look on her face that Laura does. edit spelling.

[coloradodem2005]

9. Good thing that they did that.

[mikita]

10. I love this...

not that it changes a thing, but I just love it....

I can't bear to watch anything on "news" anymore but my imagination is running wild....

Thanks for posting....

[lovuian]

14. It really ticked off CNBC and they apologized

They were used!!!

[Ian David]

29. They could have been helping him save face

If he was making an ass of himself-- or if the protesters were winning-- then they may have done it "for his own good."

Don't let the emperor know he has no clothes.

[Generator]

49. Love the pic!

Really was tempted to answer another low poster somewhere else about why we Dems keep losing elections with: because of idiots like you..who believe everything they are told.

But I didn't. Your picture would be a nice reply.

[donkeyotay]

62. good heavens!

Didn't your mama tell you you'd ruin your eyesight if you get that close to the screen? Crimey!

[BigBearJohn]

65. LMFAO -- that picture is sooooooo on the mark. I LOVE IT!!!!

[lonestarnot]

102. dis pic great! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

133. LOL on the pic! n/t

[Catfight]

139. Can we fund raise and get this picture on billboards throughout the US?

[rodeodance]

126. when did this happen? Where was he giving the speech?

[Sugarbleus]

26. I'm with you. Haven't had the news on in a couple months.

Can't stomach that drivel anymore. I get my news online. Bush being shut down by CNBC is priceless, if true.

With that sickening hand gesture he uses, I can just SEE him doing that "pseudo pounding" to drive the message home to the seniors.

Whadda Prince :puke:

[Ganja Ninja]

12. Don't misread their motives.

They probably did it to save him further embarrassment.

[Mandate My Ass]

16. The mask slipped off evidently.

No film at 11:00.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. That's what I think too

I think that's why they cut him off.

[lovuian]

13. Schwab Edward D Jones AG edwards and others removed support

support of Bush's privatazation of Social Security yesterday


Nobody can believe that Corporate america is turning against him

but they did!!!

[xchrom]

21. don'tchya love those little rays of sunshine?

[LostInAnomie]

24. They've been doing that because people like the ALFCIO...

... have been exposing the connections they have to the Bush plan to anyone who will listen.

[lovuian]

28. Well its working Corporate America has turned on him

THEY have withdrawn their support and it was suppose to help them.
That shows Bush really just wants to destroy all social programs from Medicare Social security and Medicaid

[EVDebs]

54. I think that the era of 'supply-siders' is over. They're wising up to

the fact that demand-side is what drives the economy's engine. The globalizationist multinationals have about run the table but with nobody left in the US, the world's 'designated consumer', able to buy what the world produces, you are in essence running the world's economic engine while you drain it of oil !

Globalization is unsustainable unless some other countries make up for the US consumers' lost consumption !

[AnnInLa]

66. These brokerage companies did so under pressure

from the AFL/CIO, not because they had "seen the light." They are still complicit. Google it for more info.

[mainer]

131. Well, my broker (a Bush voter) now says Bush is a disaster

And he works for AG Edwards. There are rays of hope!

[Kurovski]

132. And chief economist at Morgan Stanley

has predicted "economic armageddon".

[LostInAnomie]

15. Remember when he pulled that shit during the campaign

He said it was supposed to be a speech on security or something, and as soon as it started he started slamming Kerry and spewing all his other trite rhetoric.

They didn't cut his off then, when it counted.

[lovuian]

22. Lost your absolutely right on ... His popularity with the media

is falling!!! Everytime he speaks the dollar and the market go down!!!

[Kurovski]

52. Then they really should have let George rant on.

It would help if America could see him as the blazing nut-jobber-fruitcake-burn-out spoiled brat that he is.

It seems his Pharm team of physicians misjudged what combination of drugs would be necessary for today's event.

[tsuki]

72. I wonder if we'll see this picture in an endless loop, like the Dean

Scream? The Bush Tantrum.

When Fred Friendly and Edward R. Murrow finally cornered McCarthy, he dissolved into a raving lunatic. People saw him for what he was.

I am afraid of him. With his background, I don't think he is sane.

[Kurovski]

75. Groups across the internet should get a copy of his meltdown

and make it a loop to place on the front page. Click and watch the seething mad monkey! Would DU do it? Please?

Very good idea, tsuki. Yes, George is nuts. But I fear that the folks managing this country are even sicker than George.

[me b zola]

85. You make a point that has been on my mind for a while now.

>>George is nuts. But I fear that the folks managing this country are even sicker than George.<<
_____

Cheney has one foot in the grave, but is getting ready to make billions once he leaves office. For what? The evil bastard can't take it with him. With the exception of Condi, they are all senior citizens, aren't they? Okay, so the demonic KKKarl is a bit younger. But seriously, how sick and evil do you need to be to sell out humanity and all that is good for the sake of a frickin power trip?

[Flying Dream Blues]

110. Agree...I want to see it, but

even more, I want everyone to see it!!

[LittleClarkie]

88. Or when it was supposed to be a "policy speech"

and it would turn out to be "9/11!!! Vote for meeee!" Yeah, great policy speech there pal. Thanks for letting us know what you were going to do AFTER the election. You sure do have a mandate for all those things you DIDN'T talk about during the campaign. Yesiree bob.

[Arkana]

18. Hee hee...I'd like to see a crowd of seniors take canes to him

Put that on Pay Per View and you'd make a bundle!

[FreedomAngel82]

20. That would be good!

I'd pay to see that. And because they'd be elderly he couldn't attack back.

[Chipper Chat]

27. "Attack of the Killer Octogenarians" - LOL - ha ha ha ha ha

"That'll teach you to F**k with us, SONNY!"

[Sugarbleus]

30. LOL...count me in. Not Octo yet but disabled and "old enough"

Got a nice BRASS HEADED cane too. :smoke:

[Lugnut]

94. Count me in also

59 years old and disabled for 11. I swing a pretty mean cane too.

[Sugarbleus]

135. ;o) Now we may have a "movement"......

It's not that difficult to bowl a few pinheads over with wheelchairs too. }(

[Ian David]

32. Bush vs The AARP

[lovuian]

36. LMAO!!! OMG!!! IanDB that is freaking hillarious!!!

I'm falling off my chair!!! LMAO!!!

[Arkana]

37. "You little pissant, when I was your age, we couldn't afford SHOES!"

*whacks George with walker as old guy loses dentures trying to bite his ankles*

[Cocoa]

41. that happened to Dan Rostenkowski

http://www.globalaging.org/health/us/revolt.htm

For Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., then powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, it all boiled over on a hot day in August when he failed to sell the new coverage to elderly activists at a seniors' center on Chicago's North Side. Brandishing canes, some waving signs saying "Rottenkowski," they chased the sweating, panicked lawmaker to his car. When they surrounded his car, he got out and ran down the street.
Within months, Congress had repealed the law.

[MissWaverly]

61. I can just see it now on pay per view

In this corner weighing 98 pounds we have a retired school teacher with her umbrella who been skipping lunch due to hikes in Medicare.

[Arkana]

64. ..."and in this corner, we have 5'10" and 200 pounds of stupid...

...er, muscle!"

I'd place my life savings on the VERY pissed off senior with the umbrella.

[MissWaverly]

67. me too, throw in Sean (mr. nervous)

Yet add, Sean Hannity as the referee and Scott McClellan as the mgr. for GWB, and Jon Stewart as mgr. for the senior

[Arkana]

69. Hee hee...

Scott: "All right, Mr. President, here are a pair of brass knuckles--just hit the old bag with these and she'll drop like a sack a' taters! Fight dirty and make me n' Bulldog proud!"

Jon: "Ma'am, do I really even need to give you any instruction?"

Sean: (pisses himself)

[ebayfool]

103. And strutting as the ring girl - 'Bulldog' Gannon in sumpin' ever so ...

skimpy!

[lonestarnot]

104. EWWWW I'd pay to see that! LOL n/t

[paineinthearse]

23. What a buffoon

I hope somebody captured this. They blew a staged event. This is two in two days. Yesterday a general in Iraq said something off the script and his "handler" cut him off.

Unbelievable.

[ultraist]

38. Yes, I hope someone has a clip of this! HAHA!!!

Bush nearly lost it a week or so ago too, I noticed. He started yelling "Congress needs to do their job!" in reference to SS reform. He was red faced and looked on the verge of blowing.

He cannot handle not being catered to and having his ass wiped. He is such a control freak. Typical sociopathic behavior, no empathy and total control over everyone and everything.

I also agree with those that said, they cut it short to protect Bush.

[rkc3]

42. Let's hope the Daily Show has the clip for us to see.

Gotta get our news from somewhere.

[catzies]

57. Like that great clip of Porter Goss being surpised when * said

"We're hunting bin Laden every day" or something like that.

Goss didn't say anything, but his face went off-script with a "Whaaaa?" expression.

Classic.

[rkc3]

58. You mean here...

http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Goss.wmv

Enjoy.

[catzies]

63. Fantastic! Thanks!

:loveya:

[Coltrane]

79. Hi, you posted the wrong link on Crooksandliars for Porter Goss

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/03/09.html#a1842

is the right link for the Goss video, the one you have goes directly to our server. Can you please change. Let us know what show the CNBC thing was on

[Lone_Star_Dem]

111. The original poster says it was between 12:30 -1:00 Central time

That would be during Power Lunch if I'm not mistaken.

See lovuian's post number 106 for more details.

[lonestarnot]

107. I DID and thanks! n/t

[Joe Chi Minh]

153. One of the funniest

clips I've ever seen.

What makes it even funnier is that you can see that Bush catches Goss's dawning mirthful incredulity and, struggling not to laugh himself, has to turn his face away, i.e. to his left, Goss being on his right.

I've seen it before and it makes me suspect *'s not technically a psychopath, though an extreme sociopath - which is fairly normal at that level of society. It has seemed to me on such occasions, i.e. when he was telling an enormous whopper, that he really had to struggle not to burst out laughing aloud. It may also, to some extent, explain his fabled smirking.

A psycho believes whatever he says, simply because he says it. It must be right. But it's as if a wee part of the barrier to some residual conscience * seems to have threatens to give way and become a serious breach, opening flood-gates, and completely giving the game away.

[tsuki]

73. Dry drunk behavior.

[DoBotherMe]

51. Remember this?

"Emily get out of the way!" That was shocking when it happened. D ; )

[Kurovski]

92. I don't remember that.

What did president Goofy do that time?

Or is it spelled president Goo Fee?

[Carolab]

97. It was when Colin Powell was on Meet the Press.

His assistant Emily took the camera off him when she thought he should end the interview. It was hilarious. Russert was really pissed too.

[Kurovski]

114. Yes, Colin! I do remember,

but wasn't Emily trying to shut him up because she didn't like the direction of the conversation?

Little Emily the editor earned her dressing-down, as I recall.

[indepat]

31. Wow, what a roll to be on

[Pooka Fey]

33. Is it too much to hope someone taped this and can post a link? n/t

or a tape or transcript of it.

[Canuckistanian]

39. I don't believe it

Unless there was a room full of people who signed loyalty oaths, somebody had to witness this.
Just because it was cut off from the video doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[adigal]

43. He is losing it, because he has always gotten his way

and this is the first time we are all pushing back.

As Cheney said, "He doesn't take No for an answer." All hail to King Georgie!

[fishwax]

45. Might be the first time in his life

that he doesn't get his way. I'm not surprised that temper tantrums come as a result, I just wish I could have seen them.

[drdtroit]

90. Here's a picture

"You're going to get your checks already!"

[Kurovski]

93. Oh, Holy Crapola, that is funny!

And I apologise for laughing so loudly that I made the neighbor's dog bark.

[LeahD]

44. CNBC, show me the video!!!

[MissMarple]

50. Maybe they thought he was going to totally wig out on national airwaves.

Can't be having that, now can we? He did something the other day that was shown on Olbermann. He was asking for...the 20 year old with a question on something or other (I didn't catch it because I was fixing dinner) he apparently repeated it two or three times and was looking a bit desperate until some chubby young man in a suit was identified as the one with the question. It was so obvious he was looking for another planted question.

[walldude]

53. Searching for a link..

Someone had to get this...

[SpiralHawk]

55. One wonder if any of the pool Reporters covering the Pres.

will tell this story in print?

If there is silence in print, then that is very TELLING

[slaveplanet]

56. There is clearly more to this than meets the eye

There must be a money flow problem , and they are counting on this going through fast track in order to keep hidden promises. There is absolutely no reason for him to go into meltdown mode unless they're hiding something...the media is covering....and I suspect this has something to do with the rising oil prices.

[slaveplanet]

168. Exhibit A

Republican Honesty
by Chris Bowers

Even the highly scripted moments of Bush propaganda are open to revealing insights:
THE PRESIDENT: Let me ask you something about the Thrift Savings Plan. This is a Thrift Savings Plan that has a mix of stocks and bonds?

MS. WEBSTER: Yes, sir.

THE PRESIDENT: Now, how hard was that to learn how to do that?

MS. WEBSTER: And I chose the safe plan, government bonds. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: That's all right. Well, not so safe, unless we fix the deficit.
Good lord. Not only does this hand picked woman say that she would not invest in one of Bush's accounts because it wouldn't be "safe," Bush himself goes on to say that the US is on the brink of defaulting on its debt because of his insane budgets.

Someone should remind Bush of the 14th amendment to the Constitution.

http://www.mydd.com/

[hatrack]

59. Has anyone emailed this to Keith Olbermann?

This would be right up his alley, I think. :evilgrin:

[lovuian]

60. Ok the talk was at the Veteran's Memorial in Ohio

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050309/480/ohsa10403092027

But the link only talks about him talking about Energy here but thats not what happened when CNBC moved to cover it... He was talking about Social Security and screaming at the older people that they will get their checks

then CNBC pulled and apoogized

But I noticed the AP had a huge article on it... this is very fishy
Anyway I will be really surprised if CNBC shows this again.

[Kurovski]

95. "apoogized" is right

It appears to have disappeared down the crapper.

[Straight Shooter]

108. Oh my. Freudian slip.

:D

[BigBearJohn]

68. I just wrote to "Crooks and Liars" and asked them if they could locate

this on video.

[paineinthearse]

86. That's the first post I've read here that has a chance of getting

a positive response.

If I were wealthy I'd have a taping/tevo system recording CSPAN 1/2, CNN, FAUX, MSNBC, etc 24x7.

Please keep us informed if they've captured it.

By the way, anyone know the venue & approximate time?

[JohnnyCougar]

98. I e-mailed C & L myself as well.

Since the OP was made at 1:41 central time, I'm guessing it was "Street Signs" with Ron Insana.

This is, of course, assuming that the OP posted soon after he saw it. From his tone, it sounded like he did.

I PMed the OP, as well, but he is off DU for now. I'm sure somebody has a video of it, it's just a matter of time before we find them.

[BigBearJohn]

112. C&L contacted me and said they would need to the program name

[Kurovski]

113. lovuian gives more info in a post below

The CNBC schedule (Eastern time) shows that "Power Lunch" is on between 12:00 and 1:30, followed by "Street Signs" from 2:00 to 2:30.

It would have been on during "Power Lunch", or possibly the last half hour of "Morning call", is that correct?

lovuian, does any of this ring a bell? were you channel surfing?

[Amfortas]

77. unlike the Dean scream .... this will be buried six feet under

[Kurovski]

87. Not if we hang on to it like a dog with a bone.

We have got to get the clip and put it everywhere like that damn Paris Hilton vid.

[JohnnyCougar]

89. We don't even know what show it was on.

That would be the first step. Second would be finding a copy of the show. Third would be finding someone to post it.

Crooks and Liars is aready interested in hosting it. I'm sure he/she can find a clip.

We need to work on step one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

78. I make it a practice never to view the Chimp in Charge

So no I didn't see. Why is bu$h hell bent (with everything else that is going on in the World), to bang the drum on Social Security?

[LizW]

81. I knew 60 cities in 60 days was too much for him

Has he EVER worked that many consecutive days in his LIFE???

He comes to my state tomorrow. Oh, please, please, please let him have a huge melt-down here, in Montgomery County, which JOHN KERRY carried last November!!!

O8)

[JohnnyCougar]

82. ANYONE KNOW WHAT SHOW THIS WAS ON???

and what time?

[Clark2008]

83. I didn't see it, but I wish I had

God, please, please, please, let someone here or on some other progressive site have a TIVO set to CNBC who captured this fleeting, but precious, moment!

[Kurovski]

91. Vote this for greatest for more exposure

so as to find the thing!

No one else here seems to have seen it. I guess we've all kept our promise to cut out viewing all the cable and network crapola!

Or else (dear Lord, no!) George was on more of a whine than a rant.

Please tell me you weren't exaggerating, louvian! Engorged blood vessels you say?

[drummer55]

96. until theres a vid its vapor and wishful dreaming. n/t

[Kurovski]

100. Well, yeah. That's why this call is out for the clip. n/t

[lovuian]

106. For Tivo people it was around 12:30 -1300 Central time

CNBC started with in a few moments President Bush will be talking about the oil prices. then you see him with the oil sign behind him
and then the video goes to Bush talking about Social Security and then he starts screaming at the older people telling them they are going to get their checks!!!

CNBC stops and the announcer apologizes that the talk was suppose to be on Oil prices.

I really hope somebody got it on TIVO

[lonestarnot]

101. Oh shit are you for real? CBS? This funny.... Want to see! n/t

[Kurovski]

105. CNBC

On cable. As reported by lovuian.

[dxstone]

116. wouldn't be the first time Bush wigged... can't wait for the clip!

If it's as good as described, I'm gonna post it on every other page of my site!
This is the sort of thing we've been waiting for; they're really beginning to expose themselves...
Metaphorically speaking, of course... thank god...
Wonder if we'll hear a peep from the majors tomorrow? The fact that they jumped away from him quick like that, it sure sounds like an attempt at damage control to me...
I've had this terrible sense for the last several years that Bush could slip up and murder a Girl Scout in cold blood, with his bare hands, in the middle of a press conference, just for nothin', just for FUN... and the media STILL wouldn't cover it.
But I'll bet this clip turns up soon enough...
Fingers crossed here... the sweet suspense is killing me...

117. No video, but here's the quote

Even though the speech was titled, "President Discusses Energy Policy," the first third of it was a bunch of BS that had nothing to do with energy.

From the White House web site:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/03/20050309-5.html

I'm going to continue to work on Social Security. Social Security is an important issue. It's an important issue because we've got unfunded liabilities that run in the trillions. This is debt to future generations of Americans. Unless we do something about it, we're not going to be able to pay for it without wrecking the economy. I want all seniors here and seniors listening to know that nothing will change for you. You will get your Social Security check. The government will keep its promise. I don't care about the political rhetoric. I don't care what the flyers may tell you, or the TV ads, you're going to get your check. (Applause.)

120. What about local press coverage, where was he when the speech

was made? Seems like the local press would be recording for their 15 minutes in the big time. Someone might be able to get a copy of the clip that way.

[subterranean]

124. I'm sure someone has a clip

It doesn't seem all that bad in writing--all he basically said was, "you're going to get your check" (which one??)--but if he was SCREAMING the words...I'd really like to see that.

[Kurovski]

121. About the following statement:

"I want all seniors here and seniors listening to know that nothing will change for you."

What the self-absorbed and selfishly short-sighted ones in the WH can't grasp is that seniors want social security to also be there for their children and grandchildren and generations beyond. They want it fully assured, not a crap-shoot.

Bush and Co. really seem to think of senior Americans as grubbing and selfish. Very patronising and most revealing of the mind-set of these moral midgets. The tiniest, most messed up little mind on display being George's.

[yebrent]

165. I guess voting against one's self interest swings both ways.

[Skittles]

125. the gall of that stupid asshole

claiming to care about "debt to future generations" while he is runniing deficits as far as the eye can see

[gasperc]

144. this is sanitized, Bush snapped at people

"you'll get yours checks!" hoping that daily show gets the clip

[dxstone]

118. also... is there any precedent for this?

I'm just wondering if there is any sort of precedent for the President of the United States being abruptly cut off by a news organization this way...
They seem to be pretending they pulled him cuz they felt lied to and abused and such... but how in god's name could the network possibly reach such a lightning-fast decision to yank him on those grounds alone?
First, why would they seize so decisively on the conclusion that the White House had purposefully deceived them? Wouldn't they have to wonder if perhaps protesters or a sneaky outspoken citizen or two had managed to change the subject on him momentarily?
And if the WH did misrepresent what he was going to talk about, isn't that news itself? Why would they shut off the cameras and leave, when news is happening right there in front of them?
And If they were truly miffed, and so sure they'd been deceived and all, why didn't they just let the madman rant and rave and dig his own grave, then finish the piece by pointing out how they were misled by the WH on the substance of this talk in the first place?
I mean, I know the answers to these questions... it's obvious the major media journalists write nothing but cover stories...
Still, very gratifying to see the big-wigs, the media hacks and network hotshots all painting themselves into one corner after another lately...

[neweurope]

143. Because Karl called and ordered them to cut him off maybe?

-------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[Griffy]

119. Day and time?.. someone got tivo on that channel.. the tape exists

if it happened... try to find it!

[Kurovski]

122. See post 106.

And hit the recommend line at the lower left of the original post to give this higher visibility.

Someone who tivo-ed or taped it might just see the thread.

[rodeodance]

127. I saw and heard a clip of Bush saying talking of blackouts if Congress

does not pass his energy bill (CNN)--recall Bush said he was going to 'capitialize' on the high price of gas yesterday (was an article on DU yesterday)

[rodeodance]

128. Cnn playing another clip of Bush demanding the opening of Alaskian

oil fields just now--but nothing about SS.

[sunnystarr]

138. I think it was shown on CNN yesterday as well. (nt)

[Nothing Without Hope]

129. Why didn't the network pretape the blivet** speech?

He's well known to be unpredictable, and as noted upthread this is hardly the first time he's been slated to give a speech on an important topic and instead started ranting on an unrelated subject.

So why didn't they just pre-tape it? The White House prefers canned performances by the blivet** anyway, and there would be less chance for embarassment all around that way. I'm guessing the reason why a pretaped speech wasn't made available to the networks is that this was a deliberate mislead by the blivet**' and his handlers, who know the networks wouldn't give major coverage about a rant on his Social Security plan but WOULD cover something of more immediate national interest like oil prices.

So what will the network people do next time the same situation is set up? He's the president and does not tolerate anything he sees as disrespect (translation: insufficient grovelling), so they can't really say they prefer a pretaped speech.

I do think they cut him off because his mask had slipped. People might start wondering about his Godly wisdom if they saw him screaming at elderly people about their SS checks. Even Kool Aid might not gloss that over completely.

Oh, how I hope someone captured that rant on a video clip.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

134. ** did this before the election too. He told the networks he had a major

speech, and they all started to cover it, and it turned out to be a campaign spiel.

[IronLionZion]

136. oh man, I wish I could see Bush scream

everyone should. It's important to know what your leaders are really like off the campaign trail. Oh man, they should play his screams over and over like they did with Dean. What goes around comes around.

wow, screaming at older people is some real compassionate conservative values right there. very christian too. :puke: We may have to send him some pretzels.

[rocktivity]

137. It's been nearly twenty-four hours and no one has the clip?

:(
rocknation

[Kurovski]

141. Yeah

Maybe we have here a mountain named "Molehill."

I'll wait another 24.

[JohnnyCougar]

142. Kick!

[deacon2]

145. Not the first public freak-out for der Fuhrer

I'll apologize in advance for being unable to find the mpeg in my "Fascism" archive - it's become much too unmanageable since November of this "vile year of our Lord" (RIP Hunter). Do any of you recall the aborted "news" conference during the shampaign when Bush was asked something more difficult than "I praise Jesus for your awesome leadership" and stormed off? Some quick-witted tech kept and posted a copy of the aircheck tape - so there wasn't an upcut - and his mic was still on as he stomped by his aides. It's a little garbled but you can hear him shout "get these assholes away from me!" or something close to that. He was in full rant and lashing out at his people in a very imperious fashion. One frightening critter.

[EC]

147. Yeah, he was asked a question about Kenny Boy Lay

this was just after Kenny was hauled in, in cuffs.....

[JohnnyCougar]

146. ****ATTENTION****

To those of you who saw this live, was this the speech?

http://www.wbns10tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3052107&nav=LUERXGv4

This is full coverage a speech he gave yesterday in Ohio. I don't see him screaming anywhere on here. Perhaps the OP or someone else who saw that on CNBC can verify if this was the speech they were cutting to.

[lovuian]

151. Yes this is the speech Johnny great job

Its the second one Bush at Columbus but notice the first one it says for Energy... thats what he was suppose to be speaking of but he talked about Social Security too as well as other pet projects!!!

the CNBC coverage had a close up of Bush at the podium when he says for the second time in a more forceful voice and louder and leaning over the podium
I quote from the video

"Your going to get your checks"

when that clip was seen close up where Bush yells it for the SECOND TIME. that was seen on CNBC

You have to understand the TV audience was waiting for Energy News and we got a clip of Bush yelling about getting your checks for social security

CNBC nicely stopped the video there and apoligized they were told it was for Energy


I didn't mean it to sound like Bush lost it I meant to show how Bush was using the Energy Forum for his own purposes on promoting Social Security

and maybe its me but it was INSULTING to seniors who after Bush goes at the beginning of how Americans need to help their nation out

to make them look selfish by yelling your going to get your checks

turn the volume up when you hear him say that you can hear the anger in his voice

Thanks for finding the clip I thought I was losing my mind or something

If I exagerated the episode I apologize its that I didn't have the benefit of seeing the episode from the distance I saw him screaming it
close up now that I look at the speech in entirety I see now what I saw it was the second atatement...He is trying to be forceful here but to me and maybe my hearings off he came off Angry at the selfish seniors...

Also I admit I am not a Bush lover so I definitely was looking at it with a predjudice eye!!!

I'll just add one more thing
turn the volume up and hear him yell
"Your going to get your check"
Its a different tone of voice!!! than the first time he says it

[Babel_17]

152. That's a long clip, at what point in time

does he get loud?

Edit: Never mind, I found the part. I'd say it starts at around 9:50 into the clip.

Lol, I guess your Bush filter is set pretty high. :)

He sounded a bit heated and annoyed but it's definitely not Daily Show material.

Thanks for the heads-up, it was interesting.

[lovuian]

154. Your totally right but yes its not Daily show material!!!

But you definitely got my point... Sorry it wasn't anything more...

He is backing off from the word bankrupt ...he used underfunded

He obviously got the point he was scaring Seniors and they didn't like it!!!

[Babel_17]

148. Got my "Greatest thread" vote

Odds are someone recorded this or was filming it at the scene.

One can but hope they are in sympathy with us and that we get their attention.

[kiraboo]

150. kick. I wanna see the video! n/t

[Kurovski]

155. ATTENTION, PLEASE. See post 146

if you want to see the 35 minute speech.

There is no screaming, no popped veins, and he begins speaking about energy 12 minutes into the speech.

It appears lovuian's primary point that CNBC was irked-or pretended to be irked- that someone chose to cut to Bush's "energy" speech, when at the time, Bush was in reality offering up a choice meme in support of the the WH's troubled Social Security plan.

The speech was delivered well, despite Bush becoming drifty near the end and he appeared to temporarily confuse himself when he realised he repeated a phrase unintentionally. I doubt Bush really intends to reduce Mercury emissions by 70%, but that's one of the nuggets that I took in in 35 queasy minutes with George.

There's "no there, there" folks. And there is no point in voting this for greatest if you want the video (we gots it, post 146, and thanks to JohnyCougar.) or if you want to promote the idea that George had a meltdown. ( he did not.)

We'll have to wait for a reporter to ask a real question Bush doesn't expect for any chance of that. ( Don't hold your breath.)

Carry on.

[lovuian]

156. I agree this was not a Bush Meltdown and should not be nominated

as best thread... total agree

Though I disagree that the speech was done well

Bush came across arrogant and had his Bush Smirk on constantly and it really hurts this coming from Ohio which is the state that put him in the Whitehouse!!!

His comments were pathetic...

[Kurovski]

158. I can see why some people like him,

and the arrogance is part of it. Some folks like being lorded over, and it gives them a sense that they themselves are lording it over others. The cycle of abuse!

He did well in that he had few stumbles and does know how to connect to his audience. He got special applause when he mentioned Bio-Diesel. (VRROOM! VRROOM!)

He spent more time than the average politician blowing smoke up the ass of the locals, and his followers, gluttons for punishment that they are, lapped it up.

We all know that when an out-of-town politician yams on about local teams and such, it is a pretense, a nicety, but I suspect that crowd feels it means "daddy" Bush really cares for them. It is so much easier than actually investigating what daddy is doing with the dwindling grocery money late at night.

I do think he did a good job on delivery, but I'm functioning on 3 hours of sleep!

[kiraboo]

157. Hmmm, I assumed that either wasn't the video or that it had been edited.

My bad.

[Kurovski]

166. Actually,

and as I re-watch the video, there IS AN EDIT after his statement.

There are a number of edits.

I still think it odd that CNBC cut away. I've seen plenty of coverage of bush speeches where he is just warming up the crowd and they don't bother to cut away because it is "irrelavant" They wait until he gets to it. Why didn't CNBC return to the speech?

Without TIVO of the CNBC program, or a report, or an unedited tape of the speech, it just does not matter.

I'm letting it go now.

[natrat]

167. maybe the cartel is threatening to cut one of his nuts off

if the legislation doesn't get pushed through
