What is your favorite or most aggravating Bush quote? |
|
Here's mine...
"It's been a fabulous year for Laura and me." -- George W. Bush., three months after the World Trade Center towers went down.

about 9/11. Maybe it's just me, but the death of 20000 humans is NOT a joking matter

5. One word quote shows his true character |
|
When asked about what he and his father talk about when they get together..."Pussy"
Very courteous born-again Christian quote, and it also shows a lot of respect towards women - Courtesy & respect are what GW Bush is all about!

6. Worst (and biggest lie): |
|
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Or maybe 'best of my ability' is his out?

7. This quote continues to be very annoying to me... |
|
There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like.

President Bush's Plan to Grow the Economy and Create Jobs
The President's Plan President Bush announced a growth and jobs plan to strengthen the American economy, and called on Congress to act swiftly to pass it. The President’s economic agenda has three main goals:
Encourage consumer spending that will continue to boost the economic recovery. Promote investment by individuals and businesses that will lead to economic growth and job creation. Deliver critical help to unemployed citizens. The President’s new proposal would:
Speed up the 2001 tax cuts to increase the pace of the recovery and job creation. Encourage job-creating investment in America’s businesses by ending the double taxation of dividends and giving small businesses incentives to grow. Provide help for unemployed Americans, including extending unemployment benefits and creating new re-employment accounts to help displaced workers get back on the job. Who benefits under the President’s plan?
Everyone who pays taxes—especially middle-income Americans — as tax rate reductions passed by Congress in 2001 are made effective immediately. Middle-income families will receive additional relief from accelerated reduction of the marriage penalty, a faster increase in the child tax credit, and immediate implementation of the new, lower 10 percent tax bracket. Everyone who invests in the stock market and receives dividend income—especially seniors will benefit from elimination of the double taxation on dividends. About half of all dividend income goes to America’s seniors, who often rely on those checks for a steady source of retirement income. Every small business owner who purchases equipment to grow and expand will get assistance through an increase in the expensing limits from $25,000 to $75,000. Every worker who has lost his or her job and qualifies for unemployment benefits will get more help, and many will qualify for new, more flexible Personal Re-employment Accounts, which provide a bonus if they find work quickly. Under the President’s proposal to speed up tax relief, 92 million taxpayers would receive, on average, a tax cut of $1,083 in 2003.

13. In addition to the rest |
|
"I don't think witchcraft is a religion. I would hope the military officials would take a second look at the decision they made." On ABC's Good Morning America, 1999-JUN-24. His reference was to a Wiccan coven on a Texas army base having been granted equal rights to other religious groups on base.

Favorite: There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again. Most aggravting: There's no telling how many wars it will take to secure freedom in the homeland.

17. The times he said the truth |
|
"Throughout the 20th century, small groups of men seized control of great nations, built armies and arsenals and set out to dominate the weak and intimidate the world. In each case, their ambitions of cruelty and murder had no limit."
G.W. Bush, State of the Union speech, 1/28/2003
-------------------
"This would be easier if it was a dictatorship. But only if I was the dictator."
G.W. Bush, 12/18/2000 On his appointment by the Supreme Court
---------------------
"Lucky me, guess I hit the trifecta."
Standard Bush joke about the 9/11 attacks (late 2001)
---------------------
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty."
G.W. Bush to UN General Assembly, 11/10/2001

No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God. -- George Bush

21. "I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." |
|
"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation. " -- As quoted in "Bush at War" (Bob Woodward), Washington, D.C., Sep. 2001
