Today's radio address by George Bush included some of the most demeaning, deceptive, dishonest and delusional words ever spoken by an American President.

The President said that in the 2006 elections the American people did not vote for Congress to substitute its judgment for his.

What a bald faced lie and what a slander of the very idea of American democracy.

The President made many misstatements in his radio talking points today, but this one is most noteworthy because it dramatizes every reason that George Bush widely seen as America's worst President in history by a growing number of historians.

1. Impeachment is a great cure for delusion!

[bluerum]

2. He is the imperial pResident. The decider. The maker of reality. The

congress must learn to know, love and understand this.

:sarcasm: :puke:

[liberalnurse]

3. Let's face it....

He is very, very uncomfortable now...He has worn out the cushion as the splinters pushing through the padding.....He is on the edge...He is spitting mad.

[FloridaJudy]

15. So I've noticed

Recently whenever I see GBW on the tube, I expect him to take a pair of ball bearings out of his pocket, start clicking them together and mumble something incoherent about strawberries. The last time I saw a politician lose it this badly was in the last few days before Nixon's resignation. I fear the guy's on the verge of a psychotic break.

************Shudder***************

Considering the amount of damage he's done while supposedly sane, these are scary times.

[Usrename]

17. There's no way he is strong enough to endure what is ahead.

He has never been accountable for anything in his life. I think you're right about the clicking ball bearings, I see it too, and I won't be shocked if, as things continue to heat up for him, that Secret Service announces some day that he had a tragic bicycle accident while eating a pretzel.

He has no political value to anyone now, except as another fall-guy. I know, sounds monstrous doesn't it, but I'm never sure if that's not what we are really facing with this group of monsters.

4. Bush was right, in a way....(bear with me here)

It's not that we wanted to substitute the judgement of Congress for his.

It was a statement that he has no judgement, and we tried to elect some government officials that do.

[JohnnyLib2]

7. YES!

[brook]

5. Budowsky

says it so well. I feel affronted every time demento-chimp opens his yap. He is not my President. Never was. Never will be. He needs to have a Nixonian confrontation with members of the Republican party who recognize that their failure to depose him now will be their own undoing.

11. the WH constantly cites that post election poll where IRAG came in #3

---i think corruption was 1st.

[Straight Shooter]

12. bush is too deluded to make the connection that the Iraq invasion was based on corruption. n/t

[Diane R]

6. He is certifiably insane. When will his 'base' figure it out?

[lpbk2713]

8. It was only AWOL Monkey-Boy babbling on the radio.

And no one was listening because by now everyone knows what to expect from this lying asshole.

[jimshoes]

9. Yes I did

[The Count]

10. Demeans what he couldn't steal...Wait, Bush has judgment???

[donkeyotay]

13. The voters were just another focus group, like the millions who marched

to try and stop this disaster in the first place. Bush is listening to "folks" like Andrew Roberts, author of "A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900." This non-American feller had a 3-hour lunch with Dick and Bush and told them to stay the course. Their unpopularity with the people they allegedly lead and represent just means that the people don't recognize their leaders' greatness. They must be more resolute to not listen to anyone else. Internment camps may be necessary. Genocide is ok. The only problem with the right is that it hasn't been willing to be further right.

Don't expect the "folks" in the Oval Office to do anything to rectify the ongoing disaster. They will have to be dragged from office.

[rasputin1952]

14. I think the voters have a far greater understanding of ...

Checks and Balances that bush does.

In the 2006 mid-term the people decided that handing bush a blank check and a pat on the back for doing a horrendous job just wasn't appropriate. People told the nation, and bush that he was going to have his supposed unlimited power checked. Since it was not a presidential election where he would have been tossed out into the tar pit, the people spoke in the best way they could, they voted to check this loon.

He is going to go down as the worst president this nation has ever seen, and has dealt the neo-con GOP a death blow. While I hope the GOP remains intact, (there needs to be checks from there as well), the neo-con arm that has taken over the GOP has become more radicalized than anything the D's could have come up with.

for bush to claim this election was not about his "leadership skills" ( :eyes: ), he is showing a complete ignorance of the process. He should go into the WH basement and sleep till his term is over.

20. Bush and Cheney are bringing about a Permanent Republican Minority.

After the last horrific six years, this seems like a Very Good Thing. I would draw a parallel to Ohio governance. After the dreadful and wildly unpopular Taft finished his time in office, Ohio overwhelmingly elected a sensible, normal Democratic governor (Strickland) over a right-wing wacko (Blackwell). An article in this morning's Columbus Dispatch says that even Republicans in Ohio approve of Strickland at this point.

The only silver linings to the catastrophic Bush administration are: (1) it's almost over; and (2) can you even imagine the celebration the world will share on January 20, 2009? "The wicked witch is dead!" We should declare a national holiday of joy and relief as we watch these awful people finally stop soiling our White House, our Constitution, and our nation.

[rasputin1952]

22. If I were to be elected president, I would take a que from Ford...

and go on TV/radio to state, "Our long national nightmare is over."

[Cabcere]

29. Not to be too harsh, but...

I think my dog has a better understanding of checks and balances than Bush does. The man is beyond stupid.

[rasputin1952]

30. I concur...

when standing next to a rock, there is no difference in IQ's between bush and the rock.

[madrchsod]

16. nixon was`t evil

that about sums up the presidency of george bush.

[EFerrari]

18. Where is Barry Goldwater when you really need him.

:(

[AzDar]

19. Kick...n/t

[Raven]

21. What worries me is that he's still got people around him

who are enabling him and many of them are a lot smarter, and more evil than even he is.

[Solly Mack]

23. why does america pretend bush is just another bad president?

bush is not just a bad president...he's a self-anointed king and he acts accordingly...yet he's viewed and treated as something that must be endured until the next election(after Selection 200O) or his second term is up (now)...

that man and all his co-horts needs to be jailed....yet america goes on its happy little way pretending an election can cure the problem of bush.

[Vinca]

24. You're exactly right. He's gone way beyond bad and why

impeachment is "off the table" is a mystery. I don't care if it's 2 years, 2 months or 2 days left. I want him held accountable for ruining this country.

[tbyg52]

25. WE DID SO! nt

[maine_raptor]

26. Ok, here's what our "Dear Leader" said:

"When you live in Washington, it's easy to get caught up in the complexities of legislative procedure. But for the American people, this is not a complicated debate. When Americans went to the polls last November, they did not vote for politicians to substitute their judgment for the judgment of our commanders on the ground. And they certainly did not vote to make peanut storage projects part of the funding for our troops."

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/04/20070414.html

Anybody notice the line, before what Mr. Budowsky (excellent blog, BTW) gets upset about?


"But for the American people, this is not a complicated debate."


Your right, Sir, it's not complicated........You got us into this mess, and what happened last November was that the American People voted for politicians to substitute their judgment for YOURS!

See, rather simple. Shouldn't be "hard work" for an MBA Harvard grad to figure out.

Oh, and the "peanut storage" thing, nice touch, but find me a previous war funding bill that you signed that didn't have something like that in it, then maybe that pig will fly.

[DCKit]

31. But it's not the kind of pork HE wants.

Who cares if little kids are carrying PB&J samiches to school with Sam&Ella in 'em.

ONE of the Dems needs to get on Faux and 'splain why proper P-nut storage is "for the children."

[Cabcere]

33. Oh my...

I definitely thought that was going to be a Jeff Gannon post. :blush:

:spank:

[ellacott]

27. This is their new talking point

They are now saying that the election results said that American wants Iraq dealt with. He said that last week and his press secretary also said that. Scott McClelland(sp) also said it Bill Maher's show friday.

[Rex]

28. What more can be said? George Bush IS the King John of America.

The worst ever. Should be a lot of lessons in there, if we all survive his 'reign'.

[DCKit]

32. I guess that makes Rudy G. Maid Marion

Who's playing the part of Robin Hood?

[Rex]

34. Hmm

Henry Waxman? :evilgrin:
