George W. Bush was a funny guy. He made so many stuff ups during his time as President. Fare well Georgie Boy. Mr Bush provided comedians with heaps of jokes. But Obama what is comical about him?

Yes I will.

1) All the media did was attack him and his policies (read: No Child Left Behind proposed by Ted Kennedy (D), he did it to shut the guy up and the media still attacked him anyways)

2) About hurricane Katrina, people attacked him saying he didn't help. Guess what? We have state governments for a reason. Just because a natural disaster happens doesn't mean that the federal government has to come running to help.

3) Obama only won the election because he wasn't running against McCain, he was running against Bush's "failed policies".

4) And lastly, the bit on the economy, the government does not control businesses, so they are free to do whatever they when it comes to shipping jobs overseas.

Here we go:

1) No Child Left behind was the reason why I was not given a full accelerated education. It singlehandedly destroyed the Gifted/Talented program in my school district and forced me to take classes with people with half my motivation and drive to learn.

2) "You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie" I think that's all that needs to be said.

3) Don't forget Palin :) He lost at least one vote because of that. McCain's campaign was full of gimmicks, like Palin, and all of his ads were attack ads on Obama rather than the issues. Yes Obama had attack ads too, but at least he made an attempt to let the people know what his policies were gonna be.

"We're not here to talk about an old washed up terrorist" During that third debate I think it was really summed up McCain's campaign. If he was serious, he wouldn't have even brought it up.

4) Ok? I don't think anyone was arguing that Bush was the reason the jobs were shipped overseas. I could be wrong, but didn't Bush actually push for tax incentives to businesses that kept jobs here? That was cool of him.

 

1) I heard about stuff like that happening, which is unfortunate.

2) I don't get it. I think I missed something by not caring about people =\

3) Already explained by LordtheNightKnight. I didn't watch the debates this election though.

4) Is that what you meant? Or did you mean keep the jobs in foreign countries?

From the beginning though, Bush and Cheney both said they didn't care what the public wanted on any particular issue, because they were basically kings or G-ds of the truth. It's not like they flip-flopped. They treated the people like idiots, and the idiots voted for them AGAIN, proving that they were idiots. Obama is saying he'll listen to and talk to the American people from Day 1. If he flip-flops on that, there will be riots. I'll be there too.

 

That is sort of what I meant by "Keep him on his toes".

Im hoping he will be in the news for a bit longer. Say about the same length of time that a criminal murder trail would take.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

1. You mean you don't want a president that penalizes success to help out the less motivated? I hope you didn't vote for Obama then.

2. I hate it when people say these kinds of things. My guess is you were talking about the black mayor of New Orleans, and how Bush must not of cared because it was just poor black people who died? This is where the media wins, and the people lose. Some statistics about Katrina. More white people died from it then black people. More middle class and above died from it then poor people. We would never know this watching the news, were all you get to see is people like Al Sharpton saying how Bush let this happen (like there was anything else he could do).



No other politician is this hilarious. Goodbye Bush quote generators, Bush sketches, Bush parodies, Bush impersonations, all of it...

But, he also happens to be one of the worst presidents of all time, so while I miss him for his comedic contribution, I am glad to see the back of him.
