Bush to 2005 grads: Get involved (like HE did when HE was a grad?)


http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/05/21/bush.commencement/index.html

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (CNN) -- President Bush urged graduates of a Michigan Christian college to get involved in faith-based and community organizations.

Participation, he told Calvin College graduates Saturday, can help promote freedom and equality for all.

The president's commencement speech met with a degree of protest.

About one-third of the school's faculty members signed a half-page ad in Saturday's Grand Rapids Press, an open letter to Bush saying that as Christians they disagree with his administration's policies on the war in Iraq and other issues.

BELOW:

Bush, in HIS college days, "getting involved."

1. how hypocritical of bush ......
he wants other to get involved in what ???????

1. in a war which he started by means of lies, so they can die for his greed and his oil?

2. in serving those in need because his greed for war and oil is cutting funds for the programs which do serve them?

3. involved in joining corporations--so they can scam thousands of others of an honest day's wage?

How very hypocritical of bush--but nor surprising!

2. At first glance I thought the background signage said
Calvin Coolidge.

And then I thought, how appropriate.
