We have all been harping on the Bush for 4 years..... and for good reason
he gives us so much to complain about as he fakes his way thru trhe beltway.

After 4 years we pretty much know WHAT he is and WHY he does the things we all see and hear.

WHICH all leads to this QUESTION...Basically...just WHAT SKILLS does he possess??

Its not Oratory...we know that... its not TIMING and THINKING....

He don READ so its not a great foundation of KNOWLEDGE, ... as a kid he blew up frogs...so I guess its NOT GROWING THINGS....

and the first thing he does when at home is CLEARING BRUSH...kinda a no brainer work....not mending the frnces or painting the house/shed, not fixing the leaky pipe, nor pouring new concrete sidewalks, and no cooking either.

Organizational skills, social skills, drinking skills, all zero.

Just what the Hell does he know?? What Skills, if any, does he possess that we would define as POSITIVE

So far, this equation of the American Political Scene appears to be incongruent.... Bush makes no sense to the well being of America...

So sez the Lord: Micheal 32:12 IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE, THEY ARE FIRST. IF THEY PROSPER, THE NATION PROSPERS. THE PEOPLE MUST POSSESS THE SKILL TO SELECT GOOD LEADERS OR ALL IS MOOT.

1. Maher on Bush: You can't run on a mistake.
New Rule: You can't run on a mistake. Franklin Roosevelt didn't run for re-election claiming Pearl Harbor was his finest hour. Abe Lincoln was a great president, but the high point of his second term wasn't theater security. 9/11 wasn't a triumph of the human spirit. It was a fuck-up by a guy on vacation.

Now, don't get me wrong, Mr. President. I'm not blaming you for 9/11. We have blue-ribbon commissions to do that. And I'm not saying there was anything improper about your immediate response to the attacks. Someone had to stay in that classroom and protect those kids from Chechen rebels.

But by the looks of your convention, you'd think that the worst thing that ever happened to us was the best thing that ever happened to you. You just can't keep celebrating the deadliest attack ever as if it's your personal rendezvous with greatness. You don't see old men who were shot down during World War II jumping out of a plane every year. I mean, other than your dad.

But even your dad didn't run for re-election based on a recession and his propensity to barf on the Japanese. Now, I know you'd like us all to get swept away with emotionalism and stop sweating the small stuff like the deficit and the environment, and focus on what's really important: how you look in a fireman's hat. But crying during your speech? I mean, come on! There's no crying in politics! It's not fair! That's a trick chicks use. How are we supposed to discuss this rationally if you're going to cry?! There's a name for people who exploit their participation in historical events for political gain. They're called the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

So I say, if you absolutely must win an election on the backs of dead people, do it like they do in Chicago, and have them actually vote for you.

4. In Acts 9:5 (KJV) the Lord also sez:
It is hard to kick against the pricks...

However, the pricks are in power and we must kick them out. It will not be easy. So sayeth the Lord.
