1. Some delegation members are literally smirking

Wow... he's not getting a very friendly response... this is pretty interesting.

[Jacobin]

[habitual]

2. talks about leaders being accountable to the people

something he knows nothing about.

[tridim]

[Solly Mack]

Thank you, sparosnare!!!!

[dogday]

10. I second that

[Call Me Wesley]

They just cut into the audience,

and there was a guy leaving. ;)

[rodeodance]

drats, i missed that also.

[malaise]

3. They are laughing at him

They can't believe this shit! This is the so called hopeful speech!!

Edit add.

[Sparkly]

4. The IRONY of him speaking of peace, accountability, propaganda, etc...

is thick...

[Kierkegaard]

41. You could cut it with a chainsaw... eom

[rodeodance]

48. yes, i had to chuckle

[dogday]

6. One guy's eyes were rolling back in his head

don't know whether he was sleeping, or making a statement about the speech....

[malaise]

17. Soem are smirking others

are in a state of stunned incredulity.

[displacedtexan]

20. My favorite is the woman who's preoccupied with...

the hangnail on her left thumb.

[VolcanoJen]

7. He brought up the purple-stained fingers... and paused for applause...

... that never came.

[chat_noir]

26. the love him...NOT

[Subdivisions]

9. Is it just me or does everyone look like they loathe this man?

[Subdivisions]

59. How profoundly and utterly embarrassing...the assembly has

nothing but contempt for our president.

[goclark]

76. They Hate him

and I do too.

He is insulting them and insulting the world.

[april]

99. I actually get sick when I see him what a pompous ass

[peekaloo]

11. LOL....looked like a wax replica of Tony Blair in attendance.

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

12. that's a fairly arrogant speech

more especially in a house of diplomacy

[rodeodance]

13. 'purple fingers"--says WE will not abandon Iraq.

[rodeodance]

23. first he spoke to the people of Iraq-now to the people of Afgan

[liberal N proud]

14. I hope they all leave while he is talking

[pooja]

40. I was just thinking this... wouldn't it be great if they all got up and

left. Can you believe the shit he's peddaling.

[w8liftinglady]

15. not one clap

[arcane1]

115. FOX will edit in applause for the re-runs

this speech is for us more than the UN anyway :P

damn I wish I was watching!

[xiamiam]

18. not one word rings true...he is soooooo boring...painful to watch...nt

[Skidmore]

19. Were we invited to "help" these nations build better societies?

I'm sorry, but that is what is wrong with the neocon's argument. We haven't been invited. If I were a representative of one of those nations, I would have walked out by now.

[Solly Mack]

34. I know! He's acting as if they all owe him..and America

and that everything we've done, we did because we were invited

[cspanlovr]

38. Condi and Bolton must be dying to jump up and applaud.

I wish they were just dying!:evilgrin:

[rodeodance]

58. are they sitting on their hands?

[Jacobin]

39. Did he really say we were invited?

OhMyGawd.

no wonder they are laughing at him

[WePurrsevere]

106. Did BuSh* actually say that we were "invited"?

:wow: talk about delusional.

[VolcanoJen]

21. Is it me, or is he slurring his words worse than usual today?

He's having an especially difficult time pronouncing, "extremists."

He's smirky and twitchy. His body language betrays his true feelings about the UN body.

[tridim]

47. Where did his fake Texas accent go?

I guess he just saves that for the hand-selected, redneck American audiences.

[July]

69. Which accent is he using? The real one, or the fake Texas one? nt

[EFerrari]

22. The audience is thinking, there's an extremist in our midst. nt

[IChing]

24. The audience is bored with his same old, same old shit

Smirked, smirk the smirking chimp

[malaise]

30. LOL he's talking to be people of Lebanon?

Whose bombs killed the Lebanese? This man is not well.

[Skidmore]

36. He's scolding them and patting himself on the back.

I'm sure the Lebanese ambassador is really appreshiatin' this one.

[kid a]

IDIOT

[rodeodance]

[savemefromdumbya]

29. now if it were Clinton

[cspanlovr]

There would be multiple standing O's.

[BootinUp]

31. They are thinking, stop helping so much Mr. Cowboy!

[xiamiam]

32. overthrew the taliban...more enemy extremists...free afghanistan...

safe haven for terrorists....terrorists....terrorists....democracy...this guy has got to go....got to go....

[habitual]

33. continually looking for audience applause and repeatedly gets NOTHING.

The Lebanon and Syrian delegations do not look amused.

[quiet.american]

[VolcanoJen]

44. On Iran: We respect your country...

... you deserve an opportunity for a rich future, and a society that allows you to reach your goals.

Jesus... I seriously cannot believe he is standing there threatening Iran. Unbelievable saber-rattling right now!!

[kid a]

46. would someone just sneeze "LIAR" very loudly there!!

[cspanlovr]

52. LOL

[shadowknows69]

He just said he has no problem with a peaceful Iranian Nuke program?

[habitual]

49. WHAT THE HELL cspan says it is cutting out in 2 mins to go to congress....

[Wilber_Stool]

I didn't think that was done in a UN speach?

[bandb 88]

53. oh my gosh

[Sparkly]

54. He sounds SO condescending, lecturing other countries about themselves

and now lecturing their "people" about what's going on in their countries...

[tridim]

80. Didn't the news-whores predict a non-hostile speech?

This speech is really, really bad. It will only result in more hatred towards our country.

[BootinUp]

Exactly, what an effective diplomacy method.

Its a new type of diplomacy.

[Avalux]

He's an idiot - thinks he rules the world. "I'm the expert on terra!" n/t

[xxqqqzme]

92. did he actually say that?!!!?

[Avalux]

101. Sorry - no - but he wanted to!!!

[rhiannon55]

55. nukular!

Gahhhh! What a moron.:dunce:

[Solly Mack]

56. Don't forget Syria does torture for you Shrub...mention that

[Connie_Corleone]

This is a very arrogant speech. He's telling other countries

what to do.

[Skidmore]

60. When he is done with all the tough guy talk this morning,

we are going to be in worse shape in the world community that we could ever imagine.

[VolcanoJen]

61. Dafur: My nation has called this genocide.

He's, like, picking out all kinds of nations and lecturing them.

His hubris is shocking.

[dogday]

62. Who was that who was cracking up

ROTFL:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Avalux]

68. ROFL!!!! They cut him off!

:rofl:

[Skidmore]

81. Only because they are required to carry the House when it is in session.

And the House is starting up for the afternoon session.

[Skidmore]

105. I can't imagine any nation signing on to an alliance to

back him in his next push for world conquest after this speech.

[Skidmore]

"We will stand with the moderates and the reformers."

WE don't come across as either of those two.

[mod mom]

74. Damn-I really only wanted to see the response from the speech!

[rodeodance]

66. I wonder if Fox has an advance copy of speech? (ABC said they did not)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

--IMM

[lwcon]

[w8liftinglady]

[Sparkly]

[ShortnFiery]

98. Oh yeah,

http://www.un.org/webcast/#

[rodeodance]

79. Several people must need a poddy break

[VolcanoJen]

84. HE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!

WTF?? This is one of his worst speeches ever.

He's just bouncing from country to country, back to Israel and Palestine, lecturing and lecturing.

[Sparkly]

93. I agree!!!

Who wrote this piece of crap and what's the point?!?

[Solly Mack]

97. He's being the "Lord" of the UN...speaking at everyone

[VolcanoJen]

108. He is!! And he keeps talking about "my presidency."

He's forgetting that he's in front of the UN and not on the campaign trail.

He's such an embarrassment.

World, we apologize.
Love, the United States.

[spanone]

86. Not ONE interruption for applause. They ain't buying what he's selling

[rodeodance]

104. I do not think he is pausing much.

[myrna minx]

IS he doing those embarrassing pregnant pauses, WAITING for applause?

:rofl:

[INDIA]

90. did he just call the Israeli presence an "occupation"????

That just blew my mind. Israel is NOT gonna like that.

[BootinUp]

96. We are not with STUPID!

[jazzjunkysue]

100. Thanks for the update for us at work. Glad to know the audience

is being cold instead of polite. This is the reality check we need.

Hope it runs later again.

[cspanlovr]

107. Not one single clap. Not one.

[Subdivisions]

110. I'm laying down my bet that when he concludes, we'll here the sound of

crickets from that chamber.

[Subdivisions]

116. Oh well, lost that bet.

[Botany]

The audience is looking pissed They Hate Him

"The Holy Land." Fire up some religious passions asshole.

[rhiannon55]

102. Why does the world put up with him?

Everyone despises him, yet people continue to act polite when he speaks.

[kentuck]

109. Because they know he is a liar..

Which is more than a lot of Americans know...

[Sparkly]

111. "Moderates" vs. "Extremists"

Apparently, nobody's told him that much of the world views HIM as an EXTREMIST!!!

[Spazito]

112. The disgust felt by the delegates toward bush is VERY

clear. The silence, the look on their faces say it all. bush is being treated with all the diplomatic contempt he deserves, imo.

[rodeodance]

114. says 'Muslin intellectuals" recently wrote him a letter. dah! wonder if h

e could understand it.

[Avalux]

117. Locking.
