How did Srub do last night?

[norepubsin08]

Now that we have had a night to digest what Bush was telling us, how do you feel he did, please give a grade and comments!

[liberal N proud]

1. All I could think about was this sounds like the Iraq War speech

[AllieB]

2. You got a freeper vote!

A+

[Jeanette in FL]

8. WTF, I couldn't believe it

[norepubsin08]

[ladjf]

3. I get the feeling that Bush isn't all that popular here on DU.

[MzNov]

19. H-U-H ??? nt

[ladjf]

29. A joke. I don't know how to put the sarcasm icon on my message.

[MzNov]

33. oh. LOL

colon sarcasm colon :-)

[pleah]

4. F He looked and sounded pathetic. n/t

[mcctatas]

5. A+

he met every expectation I have for him (inarticulate, drama queen, beady eyed, dumbass), and isn't meeting expectations what grades are truly based on? ;)

[norepubsin08]

15. Great you made me laugh

I was about to go off on you until I opened up your response!!!

[mcctatas]

[radfringe]

Deer in the headlights

[a kennedy]

7. Incomplete, I just couldn't watch him for more then 3 minutes, sorry.

:puke:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Chris Matthews likened it to an SNL sketch.

"Is he really still the president? Is this a bad joke?"

[EFerrari]

20. Letterman said it looked like a hostage video. n/t

[workinclasszero]

10. I stopped listening to that lyin POS a long time ago. (nt)

[Greyhound]

11. D-, he didn't actually trip or even giggle. n/t

[AllieB]

17. I voted F, but should have giving him a higher grade for not choking or drooling.

[Greyhound]

25. He just got a trillion dollar payday and didn't even smirk.

Just shows that, give enough time, even a retarded chimp can learn a trick or two.

[Democrats_win]

12. He lied about housing prices: they will NOT go up after the bailout.

Almost everyone knows housing prices are way too high they need to go down. This will happen after the bailout. Note, he implied that we are buying low and selling high. We are in fact buying high and selling low.

[TahitiNut]

16. Actually, it's a matter of WAGES and SALARIES matching affordable home prices.

The ONLY problem with home prices is that the vast majority of working class people CAN'T AFFORD one. This is less a matter of the prices being too high than a matter of wages and salaries being far too low. For people who already OWNED a home 20 years ago, the problem hasn't been nearly as extreme as for those who've had to ENTER the home market in the last 10 years. Even among those of us who already OWNED a home, the predations of the work place have wiped out our equity by making it impossible to sustain the property taxes and costs of home ownership with long periods of unemployment and underemployment. For many, their home equity was the only "nest egg" they had ... and the Bush/Clinton/Bush years destroyed it. But that cohort is nothing compared to those who've attained adulthood and entered the workforce in the last 10-15 years ... and found that they couldn't afford to own a home of their own in any region that could afford to employ them.

Again ... the War On The Working Class has been appalling. It's the primary reason for the housing bubble and the primary reason for actuarial projections of Social Security shortfalls on the horizon.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Correct, we have not seen the bottom of the housing market yet..

I've seen predictions of an additional 20-30% fall. Not to mention that many of those houses are sitting empty and falling further and further into disrepair by the day.

[cosmik debris]

14. I didn't bother to watch

There is no point in raising my blood pressure just to confirm that he is a lying sack of shit.

[NeedleCast]

21. This was Bad even by Bush standards

and it doesn't get much worse than that.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. D- only because he looked sober, didn't mention 9/11, and didn't say nookyewlur.

Which, undoubtedly, required great effort and coaching.

[Virginia Dare]

24. Looked like he had a gun in his back..

and told his usual bullshit lies. It's actually the first shrub speech I've watched in it's entirety. I loved watching the worm squirm.

[Left Brain]

26. Quote of epic fail:

"It will help American consumers and businesses GET CREDIT to meet their daily needs"

(emphasis mine)

Yeah, that's exctly what we need: MORE CREDIT!!

[Uncle Joe]

27. You don't have an F- grade? n/t

[norepubsin08]

32. sorry that's all the room I had

I wanted a line for go fuck yourself and crawl back to that Texan hole you cam from...but the sentence was too long for the poll.

[Caliman73]

28. If I had to say one positive thing

At least the fool did not trip all over his words this time. Other than that the speech was completely worthless. In context we have a man who's personal and party policies created this mess, coming on television and "explaining" to us how it happened. Not one mention of deregulation of course! He uses the same tired scare tactics used to push us into the disastrous war in Iraq and talks about basically the plan that Obama has been saying was the bear minimum that could be agreed upon for the bailout plan. To top it off he tries to make it sound like it was his idea.

Ridiculous.

[ailsagirl]

30. I turned down the volume and noted his "deer in the headlights" look

Along with his "earnest" look. Then I listened to Rachel talk about it to get the highlights. I can't stomach him... :puke:

[Throckmorton]

31. I wouldn't buy a pair of used snowtires from that guy.

Let alone give him 700 Billion.
