"Bush looked like someone you'd pass over for a job at Mcdonalds"

[Benbow]

I want President Bush to read this - from another forum (on a thread to which several Americans have contributed) - is there any chance of a Damascus road moment of truth?

The best mind in America
did anyone see Bush standing behind Blair on TV at the G8, at Gleneagles on Thursday 7 July? He looked like a 5 year old kid who didnt know how to stand. Is this really the choice of 250 million americans? is this the best guy to represent you? He looked like someone whom you would pass over for a job at mcdonalds. Say what you want about Clinton, the man looked like he had a grasp of events. This guy just looks...well... clueless?

[Totally Committed]

1. Looks don't lie...

Bush is clueless.

Unfortunately, he seems to be the choice of 51% of Americans. I am shamed, saddened, and humiliated by that fact. (We must do something about the Diebold problem before there is another election.)

2. Yeah... Makes Me Proud To Be A Californian... What? CA Is Part Of USA ???

Impeach Bush, Out Of Iraq Now!!!

3. Evangelical Christians put Bush in office - they are single issue voters

Evangelicals only care about turning America into a theocracy. Bush is their guy. The don't give a rats ass about anything else.

Evangelical Christians are no more American, than those guys who ran planes into the WTC. If Bush said he was setting up homosexual detention camps...the Evangelicals would praise him for it. That is not the America you and I know.

6. Jeez,, thanks for pointing that out. I had not noticed.

[dajoki]

8. i remember when he...

was in great britain about 6 to 8 months ago having dinner with the queen. he was sitting next to her while she was speaking and he looked like a first grader jittering and squirming in his seat, f**king hilarious. in his defense though, maybe he was holding in a piss.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

10. Say what you will about Bush,

so far he has not unleashed his bodily fluids on any other world leaders in public.

Though who knows what unspeakable acts he performs on Blair behind closed doors...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. His father unleashed bodily fluids into the lap of the Japanese Prime

Minister in public, including bile acids. Bush is working his way up to outdoing his daddy again, at the opportune time.

[XemaSab]

18. I dunno

His father did lots of things that Bush hasn't done, and Bush has done lots of things that his father never did.

Wonder what Pappy thinks about the outing of Plame???

[bobbieinok]

13. was that when he brought his own cooks??? and the helicoptors or

something nearly completely destroyed the lawn and garden at the palace??.....and he wouldn't address parliament because they would not guarentee only applause and no boos?????.......and they totally blocked off downtown London????

and did they decide not to have a triumphal parade in London because the crowds 'might not be reliable'

[dajoki]

19. yeah

that's it.:crazy:

Later I look at a photo of Prime Minister Blair giving a press conference with the leaders of the G8 standing behind him. I look at Bush, scanning his face and expression for any sign of remorse, sadness, anger, anything that belays a sensitive human spirit. Zilch! The guy looks as cold as stone, unflinching in his resolve to carry on fighting terrorism with its same tools, talking about the senseless killing of innocent lives when he himself orders and condones such killings on a daily basis, bolstered by his own fundamentalist principals, a red-neck, intellectually dim cowboy who wangled his way by hook and by crook into becoming US president, and commanding officer of the most powerful and deadly army in the history of the world. With leaders like this, when is it all going to stop? Such violence shows no sign of abating, rather, just escalating completely out of control and context. At moments like this I can’t help remembering my dear old friend and flat mate the late Rachel Pinney, doctor, child therapist and peace activist, who advocated listening to one’s adversaries if you really wanted to understand them – creative listening she called it- and so heal the differences, dismantling conflicts by identifying viable, humane solutions. The war against terrorism will never be successful while it’s being conducted down the barrel of an automatic, laser-sighted rifle or via the dropping of smart bombs and daisy cutters. How many bombs need to go off in Baghdad, Kabul, London, Rome, Copenhagen or Warsaw before we realize that?

12. Bush is not qualified

to sort clothing at a local Goodwill Donation Center.

(apologies to Goodwill sorters...)

14. such a tool

shrub is such a tool

[flordehinojos]

15. yes i did see bush standing behind blair and next to chirac on 7/7 at Glen

eagles.

To me bush's face looked like he, bush, was having a moment of pride as he stood there and blair denounced the violence in London--it was as if bush was proud of the violence and emboldened by it. chirac looked like he was fed up by the whole thing (and maybe even fed up with bush and the cocky arrogant look on bush's face ... i have been looking for a picture of that on the internet and have not been able to find it.

do you (or anyone) have a link to it?

[habitual]

[flordehinojos]

17. thank you! I appreciate it.
