The Bush I Remember!

I remember that day as well. I was appalled that bush climbed on the rubble with dead bodies still in there, grabbed the bullhorn, and laughed at all those who died.

I know, the right wing media said he was just smirking, trying to rationalize why bush was laughing at all those who died.

The Bush I remember spent money like a drunken Democrap but at least valued this country and what it stands for(pre Obuma).

He was a drunk, but funny how he was a rethuglican't just like the bozos running, now.

You mean devalued this country and destroyed what it stood for.

Comedian Dennis Miller once referred to him as the "retarded monkey child" of George and Barbara.

Kind of fits.

Was that Bush Sr/Jr or both ?

You idiots know he's no longer president...right?

He was a much better president than Obama is.

History will show that. And that bugs you doesn't it?

That's not saying very much now is it?

I suppose his massive depression will look well from history's point of view. Then I would also guess that his complete failure to prevent or respond to the 9/11 attacks will look great in history books. Will his abuse of drugs and alcohol while in office look good. Compared to many republicans it might be alright. How about his rampant criminality? What do you suppose history will say about that?

I find it quite telling that you would post some unfounded crapola on the former President, and completely ignore the current Gov GoogleyEyes who admitted to abuse issues while he was in the Senate.

Rational thoughts are not your specialty, are they?

I have no recollection of W even being accused of, much less proven to have been, using any kind of drugs while in office. Only references to his frat boy days. And who didn't do things at that age they would learn to refrain from later.

You can't lay blame on W for not preventing 9/11. That is primarily the fault of the numerous intelligence agencies being all territorial and not sharing the various pieces of the puzzle they were privy to. Had they done so, they would have seen it coming. And they don't share even a fourth of what they know with the president or his advisers.

I suppose directly telling him just wasn't good enough for you. What did you want the intelligence community to do? Do you really think that combining all the agencies into one giant bureaucracy that now can't do anything is better?

So bush was told, we know that because we have had the opportunity to read the Presidential daily briefing in which he was told. And what was his response? We don't know precisely because he refuses to say, but we do know our military was ordered to stand down. We know because we witnessed it. We have the testimony of many members of the military who report they had been ordered to stand down.

So what was bush's response to 9/11? He grabbed his bullhorn, climbed on the rubble, climbed on the dead bodies and laughed. I bet that made you proud.

Then did he start an investigation into what happened? No, he simply declared that by some magic,(not from any of the intelligence agencies) that he knew who did it. It was Osama Bin Laden. So bush's first response was to get the entire Bin Laden family out of the US. While the rest of the aircraft were ordered grounded, he lets Bin Ladens leave.

After much pressure from family of those who died, bush finally allows the 9/11 commission, but only on the condition that they do not investigate what happened. They can only consider how to prevent those kinds of attacks from happening again. The first recommendation: Don't order the military to stand down.

What about the financial devastation of the attack? Did bush act to restore our economy? Nope, he let things spiral down to depression which is where we are now.

And by some rationale not found in any rational person, you want us to believe bush couldn't do anything. Well, doing nothing would have been better than what he did do.

You have no recollection of bush watching sports on television and getting so drunk that he fell down and split his head open? You have no recollection of bush being so drunk while giving speeches that he couldn't talk straight? You have no recollection of video of bush's eyes quite dilated in front of the camera? Do you remember bush at all?

How sad that a touching photo I posted to share on the 10th anniversary on 9/11 is used by some low-life to besmirch the former president.

I REMEMBER -the mulsim we are dealing with.

Thank GOD it is almost over for this one term jim carter, and January 2013 can not get here fast enough.

At least President Bush went to church & belived in GOD /America unlike your buddy barry.

He was either impaired or incredibly stupid, dealer's choice.... As for your touching photo, he swung and missed on our countries tragic day and holding a bullhorn isn't impressive....

So this depressed, drug addicted, stupid man was able to trick Congress into voting that we attack Iraq? What's that tell you about the rest of our politicians?

It tells me we should look for leadership who disagreed ! Thanks for asking, ball sack boi.

OBAMA 2012 ~!

Fact check: Obama v Clinton voting records
2002: Clinton "voted for the October 2002 resolution authorizing the Iraq war, while Obama (Ill.), then a state senator, publicly opposed the war." [2]
2004: In July 2004, Obama told New York Times that "he was not sure whether he would have voted against the resolution had he been in the Senate." [3][4]
Since 2005: Obama's "voting record has been virtually identical to Clinton's.'Senator Obama voted $301 billion in funding. So did Senator Clinton,... Senator Obama voted against a definite withdrawal date. So did Senator Clinton.'" [5] See Obama's June 21, 2006, Floor Statement on Iraq Debate.
2006: In October 2006, Obama told the New Yorker's David Remnick that "senators who saw intelligence reports on Iraq may have been justified in voting for the invasion.'I didn't have the benefit of U.S. intelligence,' he said.'And, for those who did, it might have led to a different set of choices.'"
