If George Bush Was An Idiot. . .

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

thanks for posting this. W became everyones favorite punching bag. Barack gets a free pass, because of one thing. anybody wanna take a guess as to why ?

Thank GOD George W. Bush was our CIC when 9/11 occurred. Glad I left active duty before Obama came into office. GWB loved the troops, as opposed to the current attitude.

Yah I got off active duty while GWB wass in office. Once Obama took office....2 months later I got recalled back into the Army....with a message saying by order of the Pres. you have been recalled to deploy.....(well no in those words exactly).

Because he is trying to clean up the mess left to him.

7:39, WRONG... you've missed the point completely. and besides, every pres. has to "clean up" what was left him. Barack gets a free pass because he is black. because the main stream media won't pick him apart like George W.

8:17 What mess was GB cleaning up. Oh you mean when our debt was zero. Took good care of that didn't he?
All he was worried about was not getting a blow job in the office, our MBA president.

Did Clinton leave a mess for Bush to clean up? I thought it all went on Monica's dress.

Much of the stuff you have above is inflated. The guy in charge of the Air Force One thing was fired. It was a mistake plain and simple. Also W made the biggest mistake in US history. He cheated in the 2000 election to win the Presidency. The first President to do it and get caught but by then it was too late. His “Presidency” just gets worse from that point on. W. was the worst President I have ever been witness to and I pray that we do not have another as bad as him in my lifetime.
