CNBC playing tape of Bush: "economy is a vibrant and strong economy"
stammering getting jobs numbers out of his mouth saying jobs numbers are strong and are good news for "folks"

49 consecutive months for job creation, longest record for our country. (too bad it's the lowest job creation rate for ANY recovery in the last 60 years).




The rest is just blah blah blah...people concerned...mortgages...call on Congress to keep taxes low....blah blah blah...



Now stammering on about "detaining terrorists and extremists...i have put this program in place for a reason...to protect the american people....you bet we're gonna detain 'em...you bet we're gonna question 'em...find out actionable intelligence...uh...secondly...this guvmint does not torture people...we stick to int'l law...thirdly...there are highly trained professionals questioning these extremists and terrorists...and, btw, we have gotten info from these high-value detaines....these techniques have been fully disclosed to members of the US Congress"


His speech is EXACTLY like my ex-father-in-law who was an alcoholic. I mean, MY GAWD!! It was like listening to him talk right here in the room. Fucking alcoholic running our country into the ground!!

1. He always looks a little glazed over.....
like having a conversation with the bar drunk, their mouth is moving but you wonder if they understand what's coming out of it?

2. Yep, I'll be working soon at either Walmart or Target if I can't find anything else....
which I can't. There's always opportunity in low paying retail with crap hours, yessir. And the best part, it's part time, no benefits.
