President about to make a speech in Anbar Province up on CNN

1. Stealing Labor Day from the working people

[applegrove]

2. I didn't think of that.

[eleny]

4. It's as if the only work of value is military work

Pfui.

We already have Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Memorial Day. Can't the working people have their day without having it stolen out frorm under them?

[Sukie1941]

3. Troops, applaud wildly for the prez or you do another tour in Iraq

And so they did.

Anbar is the "dramatic difference" says the prez. And those new tanks are up for bid right now. Will take years to build, so we have to keep our troops in Iraq till the tanks get there.

This war is going to be never-ending!!!!!!!

[whistle]

5. Play this instead of *

6. Are you enjoying this Congressional Democrats? hope so! You made it possible - you funded it.

7. Thundering silence when Bush kept saying what they are doing in Anbar is keeping us safe here

They can't make them clap for every lie that comes out of Bush's mouth.

9. thanks. (I missed it)

[applegrove]

11. I found the loud clapping at the start and end kinda creepy. What else

are the troops supposed to think but that they had done a good job. Kinda a captive audience.

[flpoljunkie]

15. Actually, I think Condi got the loudest applause.

[flpoljunkie]

12. Col. Jack Jacobs just said altho Bush has been saying this for a long time, it is not true al Qaeda

in Iraq will be coming here if we weren't over there.

We wasted four years getting to this position, and we do not have the political will to enforce this for another four years.

This was after the MSNBC correspondent begged to differ with Jack that al Qaeda in Iraq was not a strong factor--which Col Jacobs had said a few minutes earlier on MSNBC.

Col. Jack Jacobs, an incredibly decorated Vietnam War veteran, has the guts to speak out, as MSNBC's military analyst, and he gets dissed by the reporter who is traveling with Bush. Why am I not surprised!

Thank you, Colonel Jack Jacobs, for really supporting the troops!

8. This shameless ass clown comes to us all thanks to the continued

support of corporate America and our reps on both sides of the aisle.

10. What a total piece of crap he is....

[lib2DaBone]

14. Steals another Holiday

Pig-boy-lying-sack-of-crap on TV again on a holiday... spinning his love of war. Another fake Turkey dinner, more Republican lies and Fox Spin. No rest for the troops. For those taxpayers remaining (who at least have jobs), cannt he at least STFU for one Holiday? Can the American Sheeple really be this stupid? I know the Wal-Mart Evangelical crowd is in denial.. but they deserve everytihg that is coming to them.

16. As Andy Card once said, "From a marketing point of view, you don't introduce new products in August"

Remember the "We don't want the smoking gun turning into a mushroom cloud" rollout after Labor Day in 2002?

[applegrove]

18. So true.

[JohnnyLib2]

17. Now, now, something around 28% of folks will buy it again.

Well, unless the old patriotic marketing "strategery" has run its course. Doubt it.:nuke: :grr:
