Bush, in Little Rock, swarmed for autographs after SS speech. He's a GOD!
:puke:

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. I REALLY DON'T.

When people are living under an overpass and surviving off of cheese scraps from discarded pizza boxes, WILL THEY STILL WORSHIP THIS MAN?

"President George W. Bush autographs mementos after participating in a discussion on strengthening Social Security in Little Rock, Ark., Friday, Feb. 4, 2005."

2. This is all Propaganda....see
See look - they loved Hitler too! I mean, he must be a good guy with all the nice pictures taken with people who look like they really love him:













Geez, and we thought Adolph was such a bad guy but obviously from these photos he really was a very nice guy who just loved everyone and everyone loved him. What's the big deal about Hitler, I'm starting to think he was A-Ok because that's what these pictures are telling me

:eyes:

Propaganda folks. We see folks clamoring for autographs and looking all warm & fuzzy around him the public starts forgetting about his crimes against humanity

and btw, Hitler was pure evil. More evil than Bush but hey even Bush needs his role models!

7. It's a little terrifying that "our" government would do this.
You can take any U.S. President in history and find some proportion of "reality" and some proportion of "snake oil." I don't care if it's Abe Lincoln, JFK, or George W. Bush. Every one of them ran some kind of "public relations" campaign.

It's just a little frightening to realize that the lie has BECOME "the reality," that there's no fun or sport in telling the lie anymore so Bush just goes through the motions. He shows up with his PowerPoint slides, waves his arms like Furious George, has his photo taken with a few kids or persons of color, and heads on back to the pig farm.

Then Fox, CNN, MSNBC and the rest tell us of the "progress" we're making, about the jobs we've added, then finish it off with a poll about how a majority of Americans feel more confident than they have in decades.

And people buy it.

:shrug:

3. Those aren't autographs
They're executive orders calling for the reopening of rape rooms in Iraq.

4. This SS dog and pony show is one taxpayer waste of $$$$$$
There is no way in hell anything this clown wants will happen. The stories are now coming out in the media and we will get screwed.

5. The media is not showing us

The hundreds of people who I'm sure were there protesting Bush and telling him to eat shit.

The photo above is selective.

8. You have to think: WHY do they want us to see this picture?
To counteract the fact that he's the least popular second-term president EVER!

Heck: I'd get his autograph too, if I had the chance. I could sell it on Ebay or wait till the war crimes trial and make a mint!!

9. It is just his typical rent-a-choir congregation.
Bush's followers are so devout that they truly believe him when he shits on their heads and tells them that they all just got new hats.

10. Those autographs will be worth big $$$ after he has his first major stroke
because he won't be able to even hold a pen steady by then.

Hold on to those babies for a couple years, folks, and you can sell them on eBay and invest your profits in your future financial security.

12. Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, LOL
This is pathetic.

These evil "people" were so jealous of the admiration and love Bill Clinton garnered (and still continues to garner) for eight years that they're trying to create their own political "rock star". Too bad it's the Village Idiot.

Sorry, right-wingers. Your boy doesn't even come close to having Bill Clinton's charisma, intelligence, empathy or looks, as hard as you might try.

You lose. AGAIN.

14. Just keep in mind....
he was reelected with the lowest popularity rating of any president ever. And he still hasn't gained much ground.

18. When his visit to Tampa was announced on the news recently......
they said no tickets were available. That tells me they were already given out to a selected predetermined list. Hardcore repub contributors and campaign workers, no doubt. Rove knows how to play to the cameras, no doubt in my mind.
