1. well, perfunctory, but perhaps it will help with the RW antics...

:shrug:

[opihimoimoi]

2. The "Uniter" gonna get $332.09 contributions over the next 4 weeks

[Frustratedlady]

3. Is he slurring, or just not into the message?

What a sorry attempt at encouraging people to join in on the reief effort. It doesn't appear to me that his heart is in it.

[Kahuna]

5. Yep! He was slurring. And, pursing his lips between each sentence. nt

[JBoy]

7. Pursing lips controls the coke jaw.

[Kahuna]

15. Yep. nt

[PatSeg]

12. It does appear that his heart isn't into it

as if this call for help interrupted his retirement plans. He can't even fake a shred of compassion for a minute or two. Next we can put Barbara at the podium so she can tell us how the Haitians are better off now because of all the aid the world is sending them. What a pathetic family.

[Kahuna]

16. Looked like he couldn't wait to get back to the country club. nt

[PatSeg]

20. Yeah, and the bar.

How dare that Obama call him to serve his country after he gave us eight years of his life!!!

[Kahuna]

21. To be fair, he didn't even know there was an earthquake until Obama called. nt

[PatSeg]

23. They probably sent him a DVD of the news reports! nt

[Botany]

4. best speech he has ever given

n/t

[midnight]

6. Is anyone else uncomfortable seeing this man on the world stage?

[peace13]

10. Oh ya!

A peek into nightmares past. Let this murdering thief go back to his hide-ee hole! Katrina victims, those who are alive, must burn to see this pious twerp up on the stage. Just send us cash man.

[gimama]

36. turns MY stomache..

why isn't * (& his) in prison???

www.indictbushnow.org

but it IS wierd/surreal to see * next to Obama, a REAL World LEADER.

[peace13]

8. Way to kill an emergency fund drive.

I would not send him a penny. Smug, arrogant, thieving *astard. *uck!!!!!!!! I have to question what Obama was thinking here. Really, when I read that Clinton was going to work with * to scoop up the cash for Haiti I really didn't give it much thought but watching this video makes me physically ill!

[Frustratedlady]

14. I think Obama knew exactly what he was doing.

Compare Clinton's efforts and that sorry piece of &&&& in that video. Like night and day.

He was trapped, as he asked Clinton and his father to work on the tsunami, so he could hardly say no. Obama made it appear he was welcoming George, but I think he knew it was going to be an uncomfortable situation for him and might teach him a lesson or two.

That was the sorriest plea for help I can ever recall.

[AspenRose]

17. Yep

It can't help but make Obama and the dems look good by comparison...and sometimes the country needs a not-so-subtle reminding of what we were under for 8 years.

AND since republicans have demonstrated they don't know what the hell to do in the midst of crisis, I would PREFER they just send their money and stay home, before they screw up any real recovery effort!

[peace13]

18. I know what Obama does not....

And that is that you can't teach an arrogant *astard anything. In all seriousness, I admire your positive outlook and will try to see the good here. Peace, Kim.

[SirRevolutionary]

9. He is the most eloquent

...chimp I've ever heard formulating wordiness on the TV.

[NYC Liberal]

34. I think Koko is far more eloquent

Well, she was a gorilla but hey, still a primate and would probably do a better job than Chimpy in getting people to give money here.

[SirRevolutionary]

42. I was thinking that when I wrote - ha!

If only Koko were president for 8 yrs, where would we be now? Ahhhh to dream.

[thereismore]

11. NO CLASS. nt

[bluedeminredstate]

13. Pathetic.

He can hardly be bothered. He still can't help that obnoxious smirk from appearing no matter what the subject matter.
Now watch this drive...


:grr:

[rasputin1952]

19. God...he sounds worse than ever...

looks like someone who should send the price of that bottle of Jack he just drank to make that.

Hard to believe this idiot was PotUS...:scared:

[Nyquil Man]

22. His expressions don't look any different to me from what I saw his whole second term.

Contempt, stubbornness - which were always there - coupled with an apparent boredom. I think the guy got tired of being president around the same time a majority of Americans got tired of him being president.

[ScottLand]

24. Finally, someone who knows what to do in a disaster!

And the correct question (if this were Jeopardy): What are you LEAST likely to hear when George W. Bush walks in a room?

[setfreetruth]

25. Amy Interview of Randall Robinson on Democracy Now

Watch Amy's interview with Randall Robinson on Democracy Now for the truth about what Bush and Clinton have done to Haiti.

Link is as follows:

[ashling]

26. Now, watch this drive

Somebody, please give us a transcript.

Listening to him speak makes me nauseous.

:puke:

[perdita9]

27. Good reminder...

...of what an overall disaster this fool was in office and how the new guy is much more competent and well-spoken.

[demi moore]

28. god bless that man!

finally we get someone with experience at handling a disaster! don't worry haiti! george is on the job.

can't wait for republicans to blame obama for this one.

botched disaster aid under bush = 0
botched disaster aid under obama = 1

[mojowork_n]

35. Say what?

botched disaster aid under bush = 0 ....Brownie really did do a heckuva job, after Katrina?

Gimme a break.

[NYC Liberal]

44. LOL I think it was sarcasm

Similar to how right-wingers claim there were "no terrorist attacks" on Bush's watch (ignoring 9/11) yet Obama "screwed up" on the underwear bomber.

So they will claim "no botched disaster responses" under Bush - ignoring Katrina - and claim Obama "botched" this one...somehow.

[japple]

29. Heckuva job, Bushie!

[Hulk]

30. Such a "class act"....

God, I don't miss this clown. Nice to see him in the news again. I almost forgot what a dumb ass he was. Thank God we are finished with this idiot.

[Guilded Lilly]

31. OK Look...if he can help, let him!

I haven't missed this man one jot since the moment he was finally out of his puppet position of power.
The horrors he brought to this country are immense and we may never fully recover. (He was not alone in this. The real wretches are still around being very vocal...old DICK you know who you are)

But if he can get ANYONE to help in this cause, ESPECIALLY those with plenty of cash, I am all for his pleas.
peace,
Lilly

[wisteria]

32. We should all appreciate his efforts. n/t

[NYC Liberal]

33. Ugh. Seeing the Former Decider at the White House is

a scary image. I know we should put partisanship aside and all, but what does Bush have to bring to the table? What will he do? I mean, it's not like he has a stellar record in disaster relief (Katrina, anyone?). I think President Obama and Bill Clinton are much more capable of handling the situation themselves, especially since Clinton has been working all over the world for the last 10 years.

Seeing Bush speaking at the WH brings flashbacks of his drunken press conferences, back when he actually had power.

[rucognizant]

39. Actresses...........

Several of them, have pledged 1 Mil for Haiti relief out of their own pockets.,...................Where's Porgies gift?
Yes, HE; IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF HAITI"S MISERY & inability to cope with this natural disaster..........Old Dad as well!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

37. See - - - he did not need a teleprompter

They move too fast - he had notes with pictures:hippie:

[lame54]

38. "Just send your cash" is a line he knows by heart

[rucognizant]

40. That comment above

really caught my funny bone! I was still laughing as I went to my e-mail!

[pettypace]

41. Where's the FLAG PIN?

I've never seen Bush without his patriotic symbol since the week of 9/11.

What gives?

[NYC Liberal]

43. Ooh good catch. I guess he's unpatriotic!

You know, since Obama was when he didn't where one!

[Wizard777]

45. well at least he didn't say, just make the checks payable to Halliburton.

That was pretty much his entire presidency. I know some people are expecting WMD's and some people want to send bullet proof vests. Just send your cash and make the checks payable to Halliburton. It's for the troops.
