Bush glad Cheney not running for president (& more scary stuff)
Bush glad Cheney not running for president
NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Monday he sure is glad Vice President Dick Cheney is not going to be campaigning to replace him.

It was no knock against Cheney's leadership skills, Bush said, but a practical consideration about making his last years in office run smoothly. Having the No. 2 angling to be No. 1 "certainly changes the dynamics inside the White House," the president said.

"I'm not through yet, you know," Bush said to a questioner who asked whom he would support in the 2008 race. Bush said he still wanted to reduce dependence on oil from the Middle East, get a bipartisan solution to the problem of funding Social Security and Medicare and create a legal status for immigrants who want to work in the United States.

"I am going to spend two-and-a-half years charging as hard as I possibly can," Bush said. "I want to sprint out of office. And I will be an interested observer, and I'm sure I'll be roped into moments after our party nominates a candidate, but I'm just going to let the politics run its course."

more scary stuff:

10. Oh no, he's going to "sprint out of office"....
:eyes: You know, I wish he would. Now. His agenda is toast and with all of the scandals surrounding him right now, he'll be lucky if he doesn't get tossed out on his ass. Now THAT would be a fitting way to end the Bush disaster years!

3. Hopefully, he'll be 'sprinting out of office' with Federal Agents right
behind him brandishing handcuffs...

5. Perhaps he can sprint...
...out of his office window. The Oval Office IS on the second floor, right?

8. LOL - thanks for the laugh
maybe he should use his bike instead - no wait! He'd fall off and they'd catch him.

12. LOL
I just got this image of Bush, Cheney, and Condoliza running around the Whitehouse with the cops after them, all to the music of a Benny Hill chase sketch.

Thank you for brightening my day!

6. "I'm not through yet, you know," - there is so much more to destroy...
He hasn't completely ruined America yet and there are more countries to destroy ...

7. At the rate he's going
I don't think he's going to be invited to speak at the '08 puke convention.
When he says next two-and-a-half years charging, he really menas, "Charging more expenditures that will raise the debt even higher."

9. I wish he would. He's so unpopular he would lose even
a Diebold rigged election.

13. If Ever A White House Dynamics Needed Changing, This Is It!
Having Cheney run would not change a thing, though.
