BUSH: "Most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did."

Excerpts From The President's Farewell Address To The Nation:

BUSH: As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our Nation. And I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.

5. What a shithead. The man who doesn't want pity
frames himself this way? He's also a liar. IIRC he claimed he had a joyous time. :eyes:

9. You got that right. This guys complaining about having to be President.
He probably wasn't aware that 9-11 or no 9-11 he had security briefings every friggin' day. I think he thought reading "My Pet Goat" was his job.

11. Oh no...you did return to just as before.
Before September 11, 2001 you were a moronic, pampered, sheltered, self-centered, malleable tool of persons with evil intentions (PNAC). After September 11, 2001 you pretty much continued on that course without skipping a beat.

13. The depth of non-selfawareness is breathtaking.
Are all sociopaths like this? IIRC, he didn't miss his bedtime on 9/11/01 and he thought the day was "interesting". What a jerk.

22. Why don't media reports of this begin with, "You are NOT going to believe what * said"?
Bush may be that delusional, but it doesn't explain why everyone treats this shit as perfectly normal.

15. Does anyone realize how much 9-11 interfered with
chimpy's golf game? That man suffered I tells ya. Not nearly enough, and certainly nowhere near if there is such a place as Hell, but still.

18. Tell that to the families of the 4000 plus dead soldiers, marines,
airmen, sailors and coastguard men who died in your wars. Tell that to the thousands of causalities of your wars. Tell that to all the victims of Katrine. Tell that to all the victims of torture you authorized. Tell that to hundred of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans. Tell that to Michael Schiavo.

You permanently fucked up their lives; they never can return to the lives they had before 12 December 2000.

19. George, I hear you, but here's the thing: you ran for the job: you
missed the intelligence: you used 9/11 for all the political capital you could garner: you fucked up and people are beginning to realize it:you are responsible for many, many deaths and MOST OF ALL>>>YOU CANNOT PROVE A NEGATIVE. There is no way you will ever get credit for the US not being attacked after 9/11 and with your sorry track record, no one in their right mind will give you the benefit of the doubt. Please...goodbye...just leave...thanks but no thanks...is there someone in this house who can carry this asshole out of here??????

29. He never stopped funneling money into the pockets of his defense contractor buddies
Edited on Thu Jan-15-09 07:31 PM by machI
His friends in the defense industry needed him, and he worked tirelessly to help them ride the gravy train.

Lockheed Martin
Boeing
Northrop Grumman
Raytheon
General Dynamics
L-3 Communications
KBR
SAIC


Boeing has the lowest percentage of its business in the defense sector, at only 50%.

30. Sympathy for a fear monger?
Not one iota.

Whining about doing a horrible job.

Shut up and go away.
