1. I like this one
The bastard still has one of the lowest job rates of any President since the Depression.
There are still tons of "discouraged" workers who are taken off of unemployment rolls after their benefits expire
The economy f*cking blows if you aren't in the upper quartile of earners. If you're poor, you're doubly ****ed
The Dow is not an accurate measure of financial health, it's gone up under every Pres of the last quarter century b/c it can be easily manipulated and fooled (see Enron)
He was a sitting President during the largest terrorist attack ever on American soil, bungled the response in Afghanistan, ignored early warnings of the attack, and has created more terrorists than he's killed while spending hundreds of billions of dollars in an imperialistic war of unilateral aggression.
The tax cuts are smoke and mirrors. The extra $1000 that a middle class person sees is that much and more taken out of state and federal budgets that fund many programs in dire need of assistance
He's gutted Student Loan and Pell Grant programs.

Aside from that, the cronyism, the CIA leak, the illegal wiretapping, and his unadulterated stupidity, he's been a bed of roses.

2. I despise him for...
Stealing his way into office...
Dismantling the social and environmental gains made in the eight years before him...
Taking advantage of a national tragedy to advance his own plan to attack Iraq...
Preying on the fears of Americans to keep them in line...
Pitting Americans against each other and playing on prejudices to increase the social discord in the country...
Picking idealogues rather than qualified people for the courts and other important posts...
Wrecking the morale of the intelligence community, scaring away capable people and replacing them with political hacks...
Bogus terror alerts that surface whenever the administration is taking heat...
Mortgaging our future with an astronomical debt...
Trampling on our civil liberties...
Displaying an arrogant disregard for the rule of law...
Letting a major city drown and not giving a damn...
Creating the most divided version of America I've seen in my 34 years on earth...
Destroying the good reputation the USA had in much of the world, including among close, key allies like Canada and the nations of Western Europe...
For being an embarassing dumb jackass...
For fucking up our world...

:cry:

3. cute joke!
President Bush recently went to a primary school in Macon, Georgia, to talk
about the world. After his talk, he asked if the children had any questions.
One little boy put up his hand, and the president asked him his name.

"Kenneth."

"And what is your question, Kenneth?"

"I have three questions:

1) ... Whatever happened to the weapons of mass destruction?
2) ... Why did you give a tax break to the super wealthy?
3) ... Did you steal votes to win both elections?"

Just then the bell rang for recess. President Bush informed the kiddies that they would continue after recess.
When they resumed, the President said "OK, where were we?
Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy put his hand up.
Bush pointed him out and asked him his name.

"Larry."

"And what is your question, Larry?"

"I have five questions:

1) ...Whatever happened to the weapons of mass destruction?
2) ...Why did you give a tax break to the super wealthy?
3) ...Did you steal votes to win both elections?
4) ...Why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
5) ...What happened to Kenneth?

4. My favorite...
"I assume you mean monetary source. Saudi Arabia is not exactly known as a hotbed for fundamentalist Islam."

Um, it is illegal to practice Christianity in Saudi Arabia. Possession of the Bible or other Christian paraphernalia is an arrestable offense.

I dated a guy a few years back whose parents were Egyptian immigrants--they were Christian and he had an uncle who was a priest and lived in Saudi Arabia--he had to carry his Bible as an electronic file on his laptop in order to avoid arrest.

Some Saudi Arabia Info

I wish people wouldn't open their mouths (or in this case, move their fingers) when they have no f*ing idea what they are talking about...
