Bush urges economy-minded blacks to "take a look at my agenda".
Heard that sick little gigglekill on the radio trying to sell blacks to his administration. Like he was a cheap car salesman trying to put them in a clunker: "Take a look at those sporty hubcaps!" It was of the same caliber of selling, too. Same fake sincerity and paltry enthusiasm as a salesman who know he has shit on his hands, but would like the sale nonetheless. And he repeated that line in exactly that tone of voice. Pretty funny if it weren't so disgusting.
Pretty brazen too. I mean he has to know that normal thinking people are gonna hear it and say "Take a look at your AGENDA?? You've been the fucking pResident for 3-1/2 years...how about we take a look at your record??"
I swear, coming out of his filthy mouth, it sounded so gross: "Take a look at my agennnn-da." No thanks, perv.

1. That speech in front of the UL was hilarious..
First time in 3.5 years he didn't speak in front of a hand picked audience. It was a total disaster..... :smoke:

6. The speech that they posted on the WH site was coherent. Did he botch it?

How do you know that he bombed? Did you see it? Do you have any links or reviews? I do so love hearing him choke!

8. Noo he didn't bomb it (any more than usual)...
Edited on Fri Jul-23-04 10:14 PM by physioex
Just the look on the peoples faces. These was nary a smiling face when the camera was on the audience. It wasn't your typical Mid-west white farm family flag waving speech....

2. Big lies have worked for them so far
if he says it enough times maybe a few black people will believe him.

3. Typical Boo$h, the third time he stumbled over his words....
take a look (pause....furiously scanning notes) at...my.....(oh yeah) AGENDA!

I heard a radio newscast of it and thought the same thing.....look at his record folks.

17. No it aint.
Reality. There is a reasonable number of conservative blacks that will vote for Bush (no matter what).

I won't say its enough to win the election, but don't think for a minute a black person is an automatic vote against Bush. Just aint true.

7. And there will be some who will be voting Green, though I hope
most who usually do will vote for Kerry this time instead. It may not be a large number, but every vote counts.

9. I don't believe it
of the blacks who voted in 2000, 92% of them voted for Gore.

Don't look for that to be very different this time. They'll vote for Kerry probably in even higher numbers than they did for Gore, I think.

13. Especially after what happened in Florida
I would say that voter purging would be a polarizing event...

Bush* is an economic disaster for all but the very rich.

16. If you didn't see it, it was bizarre. We watched

only a few minutes ("Where is that remote?") and he said "Look at my ah-gen-DUH" four or five times.

Lettermen will probably show it, maybe as "The George W. Bush Joke That Isn't a Joke." You know the bit, he sticks his chin out and ends a sentence with a word that he pronounces in a strange, almost joking yet combative way. "We went to Tan-zan-EEA" or "Look at my ah-gen-DUH."

It did have a sexual overtone, too, IMO. My first reaction was EEEWWWWWW, no way.

24. Oh man you nailed it...thanks for putting words to that thing he does:
<<You know the bit, he sticks his chin out and ends a sentence with a word that he pronounces in a strange, almost joking yet combative way. "We went to Tan-zan-EEA" or "Look at my ah-gen-DUH.">>

In a strange, almost joking, yet combative way. YES. Dear god, I want to plug my ears when I hear that last word coming out like that.
There is something _REALLY_ demented about that...an honest to god mental symptom.

It was just as sickening on the radio. VERY glad I did not see it.

26. Once you've seen it, you can see him doing it

if you just hear the audio, can't you? He seems so PROUD when he spits out that last mangled word.

:shrug:

28. Yes! I'm glad that it isn't just me who goes crazy
when that fool opens his mouth. There's just something so annoying about BeelzeBush, that my hand reaches out and wants to slap his face.

Of course, I used to reach out my trembling hand whenever I heard his naueating voice on the radio, and change the dial QUICK. Bush is also the reason my TV is permanently out in the garage.

I swear I'm allergic to the man....but now that you mention it, I will overlook the torture, and try to listen to the way he pronounces his words.

There's really something wrong with him, mentally.

22. Chovexani urges simple-minded Bush to "take a look at my ass"
And kiss it.
