Bush Calls Recent Woes "Background Noise"

Bush Calls Recent Woes 'Background Noise'
By TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent
Thursday, October 20, 2005

(10-20) 09:16 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --


President Bush vowed Thursday to avoid the "background noise" of criminal investigations and other Republican political problems to focus on the nation's needs.


"The American people expect me to do my job, and I'm going to," the president said.

4. Apparently, Bush was misquoted....

The article reads, ""The American people expect me to do my job, and I'm going to," the president said."

But some people say what was really said was, "The American people expect me to do a job on them, and I'm going to." .

6. In which case, I'm suing Bush for "Noise Pollution".
Plamegate, Delaygate, Fristgate...
"Nuclear Meltdown" in the White House...
Scott McLellan "cannot comment on an ongoing investigation"...
Record low poll numbers...
Over 2000 US soldiers dead (under 2k officially, but they don't count those that die outside Iraq)...
Thousands of Iraqis dead...
Abu Gharaib...
Guantanemo Bay...
Hurricane Katrina...

Sorry, the "background noise" is so loud, I can barely tolerate it.
