World Bids Farewell To 'bush-isms' by Afam(m): 12:56pm On Jan 22, 2009
The disaster George Bush is out of office, thank God for that.

Meanwhile as he becomes a non issue in the coming days, months and years let us thank him a little for the comic relief he brought us through his many clueless and meaningless statements.

World bids farewell to 'Bush-isms'


Have your say: George Bush

Herewith are some of the more memorable "Bush-isms:"

JUST A TEXAS COWBOY

"They misunderestimated me,"

-- Bentonville, Arkansas, November 6, 2000

-- Nashville, Tennessee, September 17, 2002

"I want to thank my friend, Senator Bill Frist, for joining us today ,  He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me,"

-- Nashville, Tennessee, May 27, 2004

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office,"

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we," -- Washington, August 5, 2004

"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one,"

-- Des Moines, Iowa, October 26, 2006

FRIENDS AND FOES

"For a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times,"

ECO-BUSH

-- Saginaw, Michigan, September 29, 2000

DOC BUSH

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country,"

-- Poplar Bluff, Missouri, September 6, 2004

"It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber,"

THE EDUCATOR

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

-- Florence, South Carolina, January 11, 2000

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test,"

-- Townsend, Tennessee, February 21, 2001

THE ENFORCER

"Those who enter the country illegally violate the law,"

-- Tucson, Arizona, November 28, 2005

AND ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE

"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them,"

-- Washington, September 11, 2001

"The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war,"

-- Washington, September 12, 2001

"I can hear you. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon,"

-- New York, September 14, 2001

"I want justice. There's an old poster out west, as I recall, that said, "Wanted: Dead or Alive,"

-- Washington, September 17, 2001

"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,"

-- Washington, September 20, 2001

"States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world,"

-- Washington, January 29, 2002

"My fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended,  The tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free,"

-- USS Abraham Lincoln at sea off the coast of San Diego, California, May 1, 2003

"There are some who feel like -- that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring them on,"

Thank God this nightmare called Bush is over.

All thinking humans are happy that George W. Bush is out!

Yes, he did some good works, like putting money into anti-HIV/AIDS campaigns in Africa, but the sum total of his works was bad. I'll give him a solid F overall.

I wish him well, from a human to human point of view, but
I wished he listened less to evil scumbags like Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle and the rest of the "cabal of death"
I wished he had listened more to Colin Powell and less to Donald Rumsfeld
I wished he was never president or that his IQ was even a few digits higher

May God never let us see the likes of George W. Bush rise to become president of the United States ever again! Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!

toshmann:

what will you say about nigerian presidents since 1960

Mostly useless, except for:
1. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe
2. Gen. Murtala Mohammed
3. Gen. Mohammed Buhari and Gen. Tunde Idiagbon
Re: World Bids Farewell To 'bush-isms' by dayokanu(m): 8:09am On Jan 23, 2009
Tell us about the achievement of Nnamadi Azikwe as president for you to exonerate him
Re: World Bids Farewell To 'bush-isms' by Afam(m): 8:48am On Jan 23, 2009
Why not look for some history books or better still ask people that are far older than you to know? cool

If people will have to tell you everything you want to know then in 90 years we will still be here telling stuff. grin

My question most of the time is, why did Americans returned this guy in 2004? with all these verbal blunders?

@ilugunboy:
The American system of selecting leaders isn't perfect, by any means. It is, however, the one that has worked best in most of the cases.

The fact that Obama was elected shows the system can work very well, indeed!
