Do you think it hurts Shrub when he watches people dancing in the streets.....

[marmar]

..... of London, Paris, Tokyo, Tegucigalpa, Tokyo, Nairobi, Rio, Berlin, Copenhagen, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Sydney, Montreal etc etc etc, celebrating the fact that he will be gone and his party has been vanquished?
I know he's a dry drunk cokehead president with extreme mommy/daddy issues, but he used to be a person at some point. So I've gotta think that even for him, watching the world erupt in a spontaneous party linked to the end of his reign has gotta hurt just a bit, n'est-ce pas?

:shrug:

Or do you think he really doesn't give a sh*t?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

1. I think

he doesn't see any of it.

Chimpy Fucknuts lives in a bubble. Should be a cage, but it's a bubble. He knows nothing except what his keepers tell him.

[Stellabella]

2. Psychopaths don't feel that kind of emotion.

He really thinks he was appointed by God to be President. And he thinks he's done a good job.

[MrMickeysMom]

3. Probably about as much as it hurt...

...Para Sailen to be blamed for the McCain loss.

Deluded... both of them, but shaped differently, me thinks.

[Lint Head]

4. He was never President. He doesn't care. He's living in his own movie

in his head. If he cared about people he wouldn't have be killed so many by the hundreds of thousands just to enrich his corporate friends. :dem:

[Gregorian]

5. Yes. But it doesn't register.

The denial is very effective in a republican brain.

[tularetom]

6. Wish it did but I'm afraid not

It might bother him if he really understood how much Americans despised him, but those facts are being withheld from him, IMO. I think the Dick has convinced him that he's doing a fanfuckingtastic job if he pisses off "foreigners" so he's probably "proud" of being hated around the world.

Now, if he realized he was more an object of ridicule than of fear or hate, THAT might shatter his fragile ego.

[Kahuna]

7. Probably. Poor lil' fella looks so dejected.

:applause:

[EmeraldCityGrl]

8. They told him it was his going away party...

as they put him to bed for the night.

[orleans]

9. they probably did. and he drank a couple six packs in celebration. n/t

[hamsterjill]

22. Drinking

I think that's right. He's spending the majority of his remaining hours in the white house so blitzed that he doesn't have a clue what's going on, much less feeling any pain.

I think he is also counting the days until he can quit being president. I've never seen someone so eager to hand over the responsibility before in my life.

Regardless, thank goodness we are almost rid of that disaster!

[orleans]

24. i just heard the moran wants to write a book during the next couple of months

about his time in the white house

i thought: *write* a book--hell, he can't even *read* a book in three months!

then i thought: perfect. go write a book. it might keep him out of trouble!

[Art_from_Ark]

29. Maybe he'll get Stephen King to ghost write it for him

After all, Shrub's 8 years in the White House were sheer horror

[orleans]

36. lol--that is good! n/t

[Raschel]

10. No. Most of the politicians are set for life and in their own inner circle of power. They don't care

[MiniMe]

11. He probably thinks it is against McCain, he doesn't realize it is on him

[Art_from_Ark]

12. People are dancing in the streets of Tokyo?

As one who lives in the Tokyo area, all I can say is , where?

If anything, the Japanese actually seem to be a little perplexed by the results of this election. Not by the fact that Obama won, just by what differences are there, exactly, between him and McCain, as they affect Japan and the world in general. No one I know seems to have any idea. Since they did not have to live under the thumb of bu$h for the past 8 years, and their economy is faring better than most because their banks mostly avoided the derivatives and subprime scandals, the Japanese that I know don't seem to show a sense of relief because they don't really know what to make of Obama.

[spinbaby]

13. I can't imagine the Japanese dancing in the streets

Not for anything.

[Art_from_Ark]

16. Oh, they might dance in the streets

if Japan won the World Cup. Other than that, I can't imagine an instance where they would.

[spinbaby]

17. On a side note...

...I was in Tokyo a couple of years ago for some election and thoroughly enjoyed watching the proceedings. There were all these big blank signboards with numbered spaces going up and we couldn't figure out what they were. Then one morning people started sprinting by to put political posters up in the numbered spaces. Apparently posters only go up in designated spaces and they don't go up until a certain time. Then we started seeing candidates being driven around in luxury cars, waving politely to the populace. One lady running for something was dressed like Jackie O, complete with white gloves.

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Most of the women do wear white gloves while campaigning

Although where I am, most of the candidates drive around in small vans that have loudspeakers, and make their campaign speeches as they drive through neighborhoods. Sometimes, they actually get out of the van and stand by it as they make their speech.

[csziggy]

18. The Japanese in Obama, Japan seemed really happy

But I don't see much dancing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L2RoE40OU0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3laR0GUQLk&NR=1 (Obama, Japan starts about 1:14)

Wait - here's the dancing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhdRf-0a420

[spinbaby]

19. The hula?

That's definitely not what I had imagined.

[csziggy]

37. LOL, Guess they were honoring Obama's birthplace! n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

26. The town of Obama ("Little Beach") is expected to have a tourist boom

And, if the Japanese are true to their unique form, the town of Obama will soon be offering flocks of tourists "Obama goods" to capitalize on their name and newfound place in the sun.

[Sabriel]

14. He was too tanked to focus

As usual.

[DemoTex]

15. Bu$h's answer to world opinion:

[bdamomma]

20. I really do not think he really cares.

the man has proved he is delusional anyway, and he should be arrested for his crimes.

[HuffleClaw]

21. his response to obama's win really says it all

"...I will continue to conduct the people's business as long as this office remains in my trust..."

which means he will do his best to screw things up even more before obama takes office. he may start the war with iran

[BigAnth]

23. I sure hope so, but I doubt that it even registers with the soulless bastard.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. I hope it hurts his feelings real bad

I hope it bothers him as much as he has bothered me for the last eight years.

[ulysses]

28. "who cares what you think?"

Right?

[MadrasT]

30. I so tatally don't give a flying fuck what he thinks.

That is all.

[Mind_your_head]

31. Perhaps .......but he has a loooooooooong way before he has his "come to Jesus moment"

perhaps can be helpful once he leaves office. AA never identifies their members, which is 'very cool'.

George, come to a meeting!

[rhett o rick]

32. Hell no. He doesn't have the brain cells to think like that. nm

[Catherine Vincent]

33. I loved it when the networks showed the thousands in the crowds

from all over cheering and dancing in the streets (including outside the White House) after hearing Obama won. I don't know if Bush saw and was hurt by it but I know plenty of Bush supporters saw it. And I know it pissed them off royally. Ha!

[Dangerously Amused]

34. I doubt it, he is still so insulated from reality.

I doubt he even bothered to ask nor does he care what the world's reaction was/is, and I'm pretty sure that his handlers keep all the negative "real world" information away from him anyway.

I think he will receive his jolt of reality after he is out of office, when everyone around him is not "pre-screened" to adore him and he will have to hear what they say; when his media input is not screened for him and he reads and sees for himself what the people really think of him and his trainwreck administration.

[Why Syzygy]

35. He doesn't feel anything that isn't powdered, liquid or pill form. nt

It's very tempting for us to FORGIVE and feel sympathy for our oppressors.
There's a name for that: Stockholm Syndrome

22. Nope sorry but con supporters are exactally like the fundies in that

Once they start hating it never ends reguardless of how you treat them. They see kindness as a sign of weakness and as soon as you least expect it they have a knife in your back. Their nastiness goes right down to their core being. It took them from the Scopes monkey trial until the last 30 years trying to rid public schools of Darwin. They are single minded creatures who use any slight, real or imagined to keep up their nastiness towards anyone they decide isn't one of "them".

Unlike liberals who forgive and go on, they hold resentments that boils and festers inside of them until they find a way to act on them. If you ever had a chance to live near one you would know this. I grew up with a family of them and even to this day they bring up stuff that happened between us from when I was 7 or 8 years old, I'm 52 now. They say they still owe me a turn, thankfully I only see one or two of them every 4 or 5 years.

[Spirochete]

38. He may be a little jealous

because they can dance in the streets without falling down, whereas he can't even eat a pretzel or ride a Segway....
