Shamed into Making a Statement, Bush Finally Resurfaces - PIX >>>
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 10:53 AM by Stephanie

Three days too late.












Indian tsunami survivors receive rice at a relief camp in the southern Indian city of Madras, December 29, 2004 after the area was hit by a tsunami on Sunday. President Bush (news - web sites) said on Wednesday, in his first public comments on the disaster, that the United States' initial grant of $35 million in the aftermath of the tsunami disaster in South East Asia was 'only the beginning of our aid.'

1. You know he is so embarrassing. I wish he would have stayed out
of sight.
In the first picture he looks like someone pushed him out there. He can't hide the fact that he could give a rats ass dipped in shit about the devistation in Asia.

Even the POPE beat him with 2 messages.

Lookie @ his stupified chimpy monkey ass. :grr:

8. GO POPE !!!! Catholic Relief Services are already at the scene in
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:12 AM by diamond14
all ELEVEN countries, and working hard....


most of the victims are Muslims and Hindus....
(that's probably why bush* doesn't care....they are NOT Christians, .... bush* has already KILLED twice as many INNOCENT Civilians in Iraq on his crusade, so it burns-his-butt that he's forced to show concern for any of those 'brown-skinned people')...

3. He's gotten really gray since the debates. It might be the guilt.

4. Guilt?
Guilt requires a conscience, and a sense of personal right and wrong. This is the man who, when asked in St. Louis to name any mistakes he'd like to rectify from his first term, couldn't think of a single one. Well, except for the mistakes some of his appointed underlings had made.

Guilt? Foreign concept to Stupidhead.

5. "Resurfaces"? Poor word choice
Bush hasn't an inkling of what these people went through.

9. When he finnally speaks
he misspeaks and says that the initial cash given by America will be 35 BILLION dollars. we're not giving 35 BILLION. we have been shamed in to raising the initial amount to 35 million which is still less than his inauguration celebration. Shame on him.

13. bush* initial donation was a piddly $ 15 Million, for all eleven countries
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:19 AM by diamond14
under HUGE pressure, bush* upped it YESTERDAY with an additional $ 20 Million LOAN....and that's how bush* spinners came up with the gigantic $35 MILLLION total


it goes to show how real sinister and rotten the entire bush* cabal really is....and hypocritical....spinning numbers to PORTRAY compassion.....


WHAT's WITH THE BLUE CURTAIN - SEAL background? are they trying to SPIN visuals to the American People that BUSH IS NOT ON VACATION...you can see from the PHOTO, he's at the WHITE HOUSE working....more sinister PR spin....



the face of a man recovering from a major binge on drugs/alcohol

6. it took a while to sober bush* up....and dry him and let him
revcover from his drug binge....

anyone looking at those photos must realize that those are hardly the picture of a mentally/physically healthy man, whose been on vacation for over a week, jogging, biking etc.

those pictures show a man whose been on alcohol/drug binges for the whole time, and is still grogging along with a massive hangover....

---------------------

reminds me of the bush* 'rapid' response to 911...took this idiot FOREVER to figure out whether he should stop reading children's books in an elementary school, and where he should go after that....

I was one mile from the pentagon when it went up....just like New York waited and waited for his apprearance, we waited and waited for bush* to return to the White House, the MOST SECURE residential house in America, that WE pay to provide for bush*....waiting, waiting waiting.....

bush* legacy will be that he was such a 'little' pResident...no grasp of the BIG picture at all (although he frequently brags about his ability to do BIG picture stuff...it all comes out as a 'little piddle')

16. The first two pictures make him look like...
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:34 AM by Shadowen
...a puppet whose strings are being handled with overt enthusiasm and Kurt Russell deliberately overhamming it for laughs, respectively.

The other two only anger me because seeing his visage alone is enough to incite rage in me these days.

And of course, the last picture...it looks disturbingly like the Iraqi citizens clamoring for water and other supplies in the days after Baghdad was taken.

17. Is America getting its monies worth paying this dude 400,000 $$$
per year??

What has America gained or lost during his first 4 years??

What are the bottom figures??

Apparently the only things went up are FEAR, the Nat Debt, and Security Guards at every station in life.

Business, jobs, savings, outlook, etc are DOWN.

The man is way over paid for the results we got. We Can do better, even if its Gary Coleman or Gary Smith....

We got rooked with a dumb losing coach. time to 86 the dude.
