Bush just now: "I've been fiscally responsible with the People's money"

[Bluebear]

"I got a B in economics 101 but an A in keeping taxes down and being fisky...fiscally responsible with the people's money"

:rofl:

HOW MUCH is the deficit now?

[aquart]

1. Can we have him declared insane now?

[tom_paine]

18. No, not even if he declared himself a Living God

It is very instumental to read the story of Caligula and understand the reaction to his anouncement of his Godhood.

You could lift the timorous agreements right from the lips of our Democratic Leadership today as they knuckle under on, well, whatever it is they are knuckling under to today.

The British miniseries, "I, Claudius" is quite instructive, as it toes the line so closely to the actual known history of Rome.

[Dr.Phool]

2. I wonder sometimes, if he really believes his bullshit.

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. I think he does, and how unfortunate for us that he does.

[w8liftinglady]

27. yeah,it's called a delusional state

http://bipolar.about.com/od/definingbipolardisorder/g/gl_delusions.htm
Delusions are false beliefs that are firmly held. Types of delusions include:
Delusions of grandeur - the false belief that one is famous or publicly important
Delusional jealousy - believing a spouse or partner is unfaithful when it is not true
Persecutory or paranoid delusions - believing one is being followed, spied upon, secretly listened to, etc. - see Paranoia
Delusions of reference - thinking that random events contain a special meaning for you alone
Delusions are one aspect of the psychotic features of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

3. Fucking liar...you guys

are Amazing that can watch that shit for the rest of us.

[budibudinski]

9. Does he even KNOW what fiscally responsible means?

I doubt it. He's had a blank check from papa & mama his whole life.

Nothing responsible about this spoiled rich snot.

I can't stand the sight of him, much less listen to him speak.
What zidzi said.

[Cha]

19. Yeahup!

Welcome to DU, budibudinski!

[JohnnyLib2]

5. Good lord.

When the estimates of Iraq costs are REVISED in 09, that statement will be even MORE bizarre.

Point to watch: will any Republicans on key congressional committees speak up about this one?

[bryant69]

6. He certainly has been frisky with the people's money

I apologize if somebody else already made this joke.

7. "Saddam killed Mandela"!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

8. Now that's

the ONE and probably only thing he could say that might actually make conservadroids mad.

[Bluebear]

10. "Mandela's dead!"

:crazy:

11. Congress is about to raise the debt ceiling to Ten Trillion Dollars.

How did Yale let this A/H get his diploma for his MBA?

[Turbineguy]

12. Actually..

it was Harvard, but they don't seem to be crowing about it.

[stellanoir]

16. Quite to the contrary.

Back in '04 one of his professors from Harvard wrote about having him as a student and at the time fearing that he would probably end up trashing a small business. The prof was appauled with * as a student and mortified when he was installed as pRes.

I can't remember the professor's name but if memory serves, he was Oriental and became a US citizen before he felt as though he could speak out.

21. "...did not let inconvenient reality interfere with his self-righteous obsession."

President Bush Unfit to Command
Yoshi Tsurumi (Professor, City University of New York)


"In the first presidential debate, many Americans finally saw the same George W. Bush whom I knew as my student at Harvard Business School 30 years ago. He avoided answering questions, threw around incoherent statements and became petulant when addressing his opponent. He willfully misrepresented reality to fit his prejudices and indulged in denial when challenged. For the past four years, I have been warning America about George W. Bush who has surrounded himself with "neo-conservative" ideologues.

From the fall of 1973 to the spring of 1974, he was in my class of economic policies and international business. It required daily students' active participation in teacher-student interactive class discussions. I got to know my students well. I always remember two types of students. Those you feel honored to be teaching, those with strong social values, compassion and intellect. And then, I remember students like George W. Bush, who are totally the opposite. What I saw in them reliably predicts how they will fare after graduating.

In the fall of 1973, we were hit by the Oil Crisis. We discussed how the government should assist low income people and retirees on fixed income with quadrupling heating costs. I remember George W. Bush saying, "We don't have to help poor people because they are just lazy." When challenged to explain, he backtracked, "No, I didn't say that." During the presidential debate in Boston in 2000, Bush promised to increase the fund of LIHEAP (the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) that helps low-income people to pay their high fuel bills. Once he went to the White House, however, he sliced deeply the LIHEAP even though people were literally freezing to death, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest. I was not surprised about President Bush's flip-flop.

In my class, he also denounced as socialism Roosevelt's New Deal, labor unions, Securities and Exchange Commission, Social Security, Medicare and the Civil Rights Movement. President Bush is now proposing to gut Social Security and Medicare under the guise of privatization. He has reneged on the 27 billion dollars he promised to his pet "No Child Left Behind" programs..."

25. Wows thanks

That's cool. I got corroboration from a Contrary 1 by using the subject line "Quite to the contrary."

Can I use that invocation in the future for instantaneous fact checking. . .?

:hi:

[Contrary1]

26. Sure can...

I didn't even notice.
Props to my Dad for dubbing me that, although he used a couple #%@&'s in front of it. He was right. :evilgrin:

[stellanoir]

29. LOL

I dubbed my kid a contrarian a very long time ago but consider him my trickster god so I refrain from cursing him out when I know what's good for me. He's a total prankster.

You can always say, "thanks for the acknowledgment pops."

[Beausoleil]

22. Yoshi Tsurumi

For 25 years, Yoshi Tsurumi, one of George W. Bush's professors at Harvard Business School, was content with his green-card status as a permanent legal resident of the United States. But Bush's ascension to the presidency in 2001 prompted the Japanese native to secure his American citizenship. The reason: to be able to speak out with the full authority of citizenship about why he believes Bush lacks the character and intellect to lead the world's oldest and most powerful democracy.

"I don't remember all the students in detail unless I'm prompted by something," Tsurumi said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "But I always remember two types of students. One is the very excellent student, the type as a professor you feel honored to be working with. Someone with strong social values, compassion and intellect -- the very rare person you never forget. And then you remember students like George Bush, those who are totally the opposite."

13. AGAIN

WHAT ABOUT THE "EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS" THAT WENT MISSING THAT THIS FOOL SENT OVER TO IRAQ IN CASH??

[Marr]

14. Look at it from his perspective for a moment.

The only real Americans are the super wealthy. Everyone else is just ignorant chattel that keep the machine running. They're not even real people.

GW Bush's America only has a few thousand people in it, and they've all been served very well by his administration. Nothing has been asked of them-- not even taxes. The teeming masses have been moved farther than ever from actually influencing the machinery of government, and the ones that can't work or give money to the wealthy have essentially been tossed out into the cold to die.

17. Hey my money is now worth the same as a

20. Apparently Bush never advanced his math education beyond the first grade. Here's the story:

National Debt Clock was stopped on 9/7/2000 (Clinton was President) with the total US debt at
$5,676,989,904,887

Today, Sept. 20,2007 the total US debt is:
$9,012,446,847,556


The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.42 billion per day since September 29, 2006!

23. Bush is totally out of touch with reality.

If I don't laugh, I'll never stop crying.

24. Thank you for these threads

I cannot stomach the man,yet I am curious,and grateful to be kept informed.
