Joke About President Bush
I always thought having a dyslexic President would be cool...
Instead it was scary and disturbing and things kept blowing up...
It used to be that us liberal disability activists said "How could we get a dyslexic President?"...
Now we're saying "How can we not have a dyslexic President?"...
America is the type of place where any little boy can become President... as long as his father is disgustingly rich...
I have some. This poem is formed entirely by Bushisms.
Make the Pie Higher
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
Can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
better a politician that does what he says and says what he means (or however the dreadful phrase goes) than one who is too smart for his own good take a position on anything and waddles through matters of substance where men must stand firm. Presidents must be resolute. Kerry and Gore are useless. Bush may be as well, but he can make decisions and will stick by them.
They were saying the same crap about Reagan during the cold war. When democracy takes root in the middle east, in Iraq, Lebanon again, and hopefully Jordan, the UAE etc, Bush's seemingly insane gambles, just like Reagan's, Kennedy's, FDR's, Truman's, Lincoln's, and Washington's gambles, will transform the world into a better place. And men will stop whining like children when the fog od war clears and the victor towers to claim his rightful place in history. As a liberator and foe of tyranny--like so many Presidents before him.
No offense, but I hate when people say that. Would you rather have a leader make poor decisions and stick by them, or have a leader make a poor decision, admit they were wrong, and then attempt to fix it? 'Oh yeah, gotta love Dubya. He might make horrible decisions, but at least he sticks by them. What a strong leader.'

I'm not a supporter of the war in Iraq at all. I think it is more important for Bush to help the United States, not Iraq. After all, he is the president of the US. Don't even get me started about the national deficit...
This is a forum for jokes about Bush, so I am sorry about being off topic.
Bec,
But that is what describes a leader. Someone who makes a decision and sticks by it regardless of opinion polls.

I never mentioned opinion polls. I meant making decisions that are sh*t, and sticking by them, which makes the country sh*ttier.
I will relegate that opinion to history to see if generations from now believe that his decisions were terrible.

No, the leader of our REPUBLIC (we are not a democacy, we are a constitutional republic with strong democratic values found mostly in the states with a dominant federal branch.) must be resolute and decisive. He must do what is right for the country. Bush does not sit around flipping a coin deciding if he should invade someone, the NSC and various government organizations of intellectuals and military men make such plans. They spell out what the cost will be and the benefits (potential benefits, unless you believe in soothsaying) will be.
"I think it is more important for Bush to help the United States, not Iraq"
You are ignoring the goal. The goal is three fold.
1) bin laden's thesis is that we are a 'paper tiger'. All roar and when it comes time to bite we will roll over and refuse to fight. We fight in Iraq to instill fear into the hearts of our enemies so they are not embolded. Saddam Huessien learned this well. Soon he will be executed for murdering hundreds of thousands if not millions of Iraqis, Iranians, Kuwaitis, and Kurds. There have been 400,000 people found in mass graves so far. Executed by the secret police, most no doubt tortured in the manner described by those who survived the ordeal and recounted their stories when free journalists entered Iraq. We are not a paper tiger and our roar must be matched with overwhelming force.
2) we must bring freedom through democratic pluralism to the middle east. This is possible. The Iraqis have had elections, the Syrian occupation of Lebanon which has persisted since 1976 is now ending and they have broken the strangle hold of Syria's dictator Assad. Once freedom in unleashed in the middle east and protected by our military forces and soon Iraqi military elements, the 'revolution' will spread. Freedom and its benefits are contagious. The people of Iran hate their theocratic government where the rule of God trumps all and any human rights. It is based in sharia law. The people of Iran riot in the streets but are rebuffed by chain wielding fanatics on motorcycles and riot police. It is a house waiting to fall. The people yearn for Western style reform. They call for it. Why then did we not hit Iran instead of Iraq? Military strategic considerations -- we must be able to pressure the Iranians to fold under economic sanctions and internal turmoil while boxing them in like we did with Saddam. We may need to attack them -- they are building the bomb. Iran cannot fall without a pacified or free Iraq. From there, it is domino theory
3) In the comming years, as the US weakens and EU rises and China eclipses all, we will need the world to cherish freedom and be filling to fight on its behalf. For when the Communist Chinese decide to string Tiwan or us, we will not survive without willing and able allies -- certainly not passive Western Europe. We will need alternative economic markets to survive Chinese economic warfare (what if they dump $800bln of our dollars and kill our economy just like that? the dollar would be useless). This confrontation is comming. They are not kind souls. They represent totalitarianism. We must fight today so we may avoid the greater cataclysmic fight tommorow. It is much as the Cold War was. We need true friends who will fight along side us and will prevent China from turning the world back into darkness much as the Soviets had threatened (and to a degree succeeded) freedom for so many decades until it fell.
Time for more Bushisms...
