George Bush needs to be mindful of his words.
Bush at Elliot's Hardware store, Dallas
From Fox News:
In one of his first outings in Dallas since leaving the White House, former President Bush made a surprise appearance at a hardware store Saturday and joked, “I’m looking for a job.”
Really? Well, so is half the country, fuckhead - thanks to you. This smug, arrogant little man apparently has no perspective of the world beyond his own navel. Sure, he may have been joking with the Hardware store owner. The owner very likely took it that way. But when you leave a country in tatters like this asshole has, the very least you can do is be mindful of your words. Similar to his mother, who never felt the need to burden her ears with the misfortunes of others or the reality she could afford to ignore:
“Why should we hear about body bags and deaths,” Barbara Bush said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on March 18, 2003. “Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”
Her shithead of a son proves once again how indifferent he is to the suffering of others. Not that any of this is a surprise. He and his father both ran their administrations like country clubs, open to the high earners with perks to follow. The rest of us might be good enough to caddy for them but would never be invited to the dinner table afterwards.
Once we pull ourselves out of this economic nadir, this falsely executed war, and this poisonous political climate, lets vow never to hire, elect - or for that matter - talk to George W. Bush ever again. If you need to find some way to communication should you bump into him on the golf course, spitting would suffice.
If Georgw W. Bush should be more careful of his words, shouldn’t President Obama do the same? Every night that he has gone on the airwaves to discuss the horrible economy and how it is the worst since the great depression? All eyes are on him now, nobody gave a damn about Bush or anything he said over the last three years of his presidency. I know I didn’t. His approval rating was low 30s and no one took him seriously or trusted hium any farther than they could throw him. Obama is still in this glowing phase of his presidency, and should be trying to find other words to talk about the economy that stir up the sentiments of hope and change he championed during his campaign. As of now, his adminstration is already proclaimed him as the most productive president in the first month ever. He is also the President with the largest drop in the stock market in his initial month.
I’ve done posted on Obama’s lack of optimism (See “Bill Clinton’s Power of Optimism Motivational Tapes“). It’s vital.
But overall, you don’t need to worry about him screwing up because he can’t form a fucking sentence.
I have a good degree of optimism for this guy. Not because I’m, as the right would say, an Obamabot. I have it because I have to. Everyone does. It’s really just the neocon spoiled sports who are honestly praying for failure - and it’s the most honest they’ve been in years.
If he screws up, I’ll be right here repremanding him for it. I pull no punches on any of these guys. But I sincerely hope he does not.
