He is just the greatist.

[Daevion]

gawd!! :laughing

Now once the canadian barbarians come sack the capitol we'll be all set

[soothsayer]

Canadians will wait until the time is right and pounce on us.

[Fierce Critter]

Sits back in anticipation of the conservative response...

[JaneDead]

Sits back in anticipation of the conservative response...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that's what i was thinking

[soothsayer]

Ok ~ I'm denouncing my citizenship ~ I'd rather be Canadian. :laughing

[TomCat]

Well, I wouldn't as far as leaving the country kids. The USA is STILL the best game in town. In spite of the fact that "Dubhya" is the Pres.

[SomeDanGuy]

I'm not sure if this is funny or disturbing. I mean....most of these are true. It boggles the mind!

[Black Sunday]

actually many of these are half truths and taken out of context.

You can contort a list like this for any president.

The one about entewring the office with a criminal record, rememeber that everyone around the Clinton's were imprisoned for refusing to speak, the one guy that was going to speak ended up dying because he conveniently stopped taking his medication while in jail (jim mcdougle) and it was the first time a sitting governor was put in jail (jim guy tucker).

The part about taking over 2 countries, those 2 countries are 2 of like 4 countries where women are now allowed to vote in the entire region.

I'm just saying this thing can be debated pretty heavily. Maybe when I get more time I'll go thru point by point.

Not that I care about Bush, I am indifferent to him....but I think the Bush haters tend to deal in rhetoric like above. Sort of like how Michael Moore works, tell half the truth and hope no one notices.

Canadians will wait until the time is right and pounce on us.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hehehe... apparently no one remembers the canadian war against the americans back in 1812

[TomCat]

Black Sunday, well met response there. I still don't think the man has "any "greatest" hits. Unremarkable as a president in my opinion.

[soothsayer]

hehehe... apparently no one remembers the canadian war against the americans back in

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well as you may have noticed lullaby, this country has faught so many wars over the last 200 years we had to leave a few out of history class.

[Daevion]

Ok ~ I'm denouncing my citizenship ~ I'd rather be Canadian.  :laughing

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LOL...you barbarian

[Daevion]

"In the annals of world history, the war that broke out in America in 1812 was eclipsed by the great European struggle between Britain and France. It was a small insignificant war but is remembered by Canadians as one of the most important events in their history. "

well that was an interesting read...for some reason I always forget this war ever happened.

[lullaby1031]

Yep - well I have to learn all their history (which won't be hard at all) to become a citizen. There's a lot of historical events that the states don't even recognize & with so much history, there's bound to be a good chunk left out or altered.

[Daniel]

Well, I wouldn't as far as leaving the country kids.  The USA is STILL the best game in town.  In spite of the fact that "Dubhya" is the Pres.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Pfft. I'd rather live in China. I'm seriously thinking about it, even.

[TearSandrille]

And I unfortunately will be subjected to a speech he is doing at my cousins graduation from Calvin College. When she found out she called me to make sure that I still wanted to go.

[soothsayer]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What?? Our government alter the facts about this countries history? It could never happen. :laughing

[soothsayer]

To Daevion.

:laughing

[Jarodaka]

I have the feeling the title is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but then lists things like:

31. I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant.

32. I withdrew from the World Court Of Law.

...which would be nice. Unfortunately, 31 is not true.

Not that I care about Bush, I am indifferent to him....but I think the Bush haters tend to deal in rhetoric like above. Sort of like how Michael Moore works, tell half the truth and hope no one notices.

x2

There are many legitimate reason to dislike or even hate Bush.

[lullaby1031]

LMAO yeah, never right?! lol :fear :devil

As irritating as W. is, it would be interesting to see him 'unfiltered' so to speak -- from a historical-political perspective.

[phee]

I think it says more about Americans actually... I mean he got re-elected despite all of this (true or less true)... so what does that say about those of us who live in the USA?

[Black Sunday]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

but like I said, you can make a similar list for any US President, hell you could make one for John Kerry.

or Tony Blair or Jaques Chirac or Ariel Sharon

it doesn't really say anything about Americans. In fact he got 70% of the Iraqi-American vote.....so do you question what that says about them?

I just think Bush gets a little too much blame. People protested the Iraq war but where were the protestors during the non UN sanctioned bombing of Kosovo?

Like I said, you can make a similar list for any President and frame the statements how you like.
