Leon Panetta says bush is AWOL while we're having an economic 9/11

[cynatnite]

This nation is experiencing an economic 9/11.......Only the president, who appears, AWOL at the present time, can restore some sense of confidence that the nation has a set of firm guidelines to determine how to deal with corporations in trouble....

1. 9/11....anthrax attacks....Katrina...

Little Lord Pissypants is always AWOL, all the way back to his days in the National Guard.

2. Kick !!!

3. God!

He looks so young, doesn't he? I read on another site that the administration just up and canceled a speech on the economy.

[firedupdem]

4. Tweety said the same thing earlier..he's pulling a Katrina...he doesn't care.

he's drunk and ready to go back to the ranch.

[curious one]

5. Where is he? My 401K is shrinking by seconds, I need some explanation.

[TornadoTN]

6. "THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE SOUND"

Just keep repeating this to yourself as you watch the dollars piss right on out the door.

[cyberpj]

7. Matthews said the same thing on Hardball. Good. Get it into the news now. nt

[K8-EEE]

9. Yeah Tweety accused Bush of "pulling a Katrina" type disappearance

Not that anything coming out of his fool mouth would assure me of anything, but he IS supposed to have a job, where the hell is he?

[Beam Me Up]

8. I think he's grown tired of presidentn'. Never was much into it. n/t

[cynatnite]

10. It's not as much fun as it was when he was liked n/t

[ejpoeta]

14. well it is 'hard work'. must tire him out all that hard work.

[onethatcares]

11. even part of the shriek machine has been saying

he's a shmuck and wants to get out of the responsibility and that he's leaving a legacy of failure (again).

I'd like to know where these people were 8 years ago, when I was yelling at the tv trying to get them to listen.

[aquart]

12. But he's around. Talking about al qaida.

Anybody here give a flying fuck about al qaida?

[central scrutinizer]

13. Bush: "I'm sorry, you've got me confused with someone who gives a shit"

I'm a lame duck, so you can go fuck yourselves.

[progressivebydesign]

15. Leon Panetta is a brilliant guy -- no one can top him on his knowledge of such things.

I've heard him speak before, and he understands better than anyone what this is all about.

[bedazzled]

16. heard on the radio he'll be visiting jupiter florida tomorrow for a fundraiser

know's what's important!

brings bad karma and traffic problems.

[Canuckistanian]

17. Bush? Are you kidding? He's shopping for golf clubs about now.

He's negotiating with speaker's bureaus, lining up his lucrative, once every two week speeches to organizations such as "The Chemical Consortium", "Heritage Homelanders" and "Global Warmers for Truth".

He's DONE. School's OUT. It's the eternal "Friday at 5:00" for Busholini.

He's the quintessential "What, me worry?" president.

[JohnyCanuck]

18. He's busy reading "My Pet Goat, The Sequel".

Condi helps him with any long words which he can't sound out.
