Bush: 'I'm the decider' on Rumsfeld

[Patsy Stone]

Defense chief set to meet with so-called 'TV generals'

Tuesday, April 18, 2006; Posted: 11:12 a.m. EDT (15:12 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Tuesday emphasized once again his support for his defense secretary, saying Donald Rumsfeld "is doing a fine job."

At a Rose Garden ceremony announcing his nominees for budget director and trade representative, Bush referred to the controversy in which six retired generals recently have called for Rumsfeld's resignation.

"I hear the voices, and I read the front page and I know the speculation," the president said. "But I'm the decider, and I decide what's best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."

Also Tuesday, Rumsfeld planned to meet with a group of retired generals who regularly appear as analysts on television and in newspapers.

Heckuva job, Rummy!

[xultar]

1. I kinda knowed he seed him own self as the decider.

[amitten]

7. I knowed it too. He smart, him. n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

86. LMAO -- "He smart, him."

:rofl:

I'm laughing uncontrollably now. :D

[yurbud]

8. another distraction technique: toss out a new Bushism--decider

I think "decider" is what he does to a glass of hard cider too.

[xultar]

17. I don't think this will distract from anything. I think it will attract

more people to the side that think the decider is a pompus dangerous ass who knoweth not what he does.

[yurbud]

52. Karl, this pink-haired gal sez yur wrong...ken we put her in the camp yet?

"No, sir. We have to wait until after the terrist attack."

[xultar]

61. then put all the pink-haired beauties in the camp.

[Up2Late]

66. Now that's a Camp I'd LOVE to be locked inside of. Girls with Pink hair...

...are almost always fun to be around!

Lock'em Up!

[yurbud]

74. not if yur gunna in-joy it, missy...

39. "Deciders" Were The Oligarchs in a Doctor Who Episode

They were a singularly unimaginative bunch, kept their society totally regimented and stultified for 40,000 years.

[Cronus Protagonist]

73. I had to make a 'toon for this.... :)

[Eurobabe]

37. grammatical error, 'he seen hisself'

:D

[rodeodance]

43. must be due to all those decisions he makes-like waking up.

[radfringe]

82. what has me concerned

is that the VOICES told him he was the decider.... :scared:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. what is best for Don Rumsfeld? Did he REALLY say that?

I thought he swore an oath to uphold the constitution, not to uphold the errors and mistakes of Don. Why should he worry about what is best for him? What about the rest of us? Like our dying troops? Their family? our economy?

[Mist]

25. Well, since Cheney and Rumsfeld ARE the admin., it's not really

Shrub's decision, for all that he says he the "decider."

[rman]

49. No: "What is best *is* for Don Rumsfeld to remain"

Not the same as "what is best for Don Rumsfeld".

[ChairmanAgnostic]

50. damn, bad my. for pointing thanks out it. I must dyslexia reading have.

[rman]

53. Moreover, it leaves unanswered the question who or what it is best for.

Though i have a feeling that it's not best for us nor for the constitution.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

84. I agree. I swear I heard the radio coverage of his press talk and

he said it was in rummie's best interest. Then again, my ears get steamed if I listen to Bush for more than three sentences.

Does all this anti-Rummie stuff mean that Iranian invasion plans are being delayed? One can only hope.

[gauguin57]

3. I thought he was a uniter, not a decider ... oh, wait ...

... my head hurts.

[xultar]

18. ...

:rofl:

[Sequoia]

22. It'd be a heck of lot eaiser if this were a dictatorship....

heh, heh...as long as I was in charge, heh, heh.

[MnFats]

4. sounds like a dopey kid on a playground lot...

"I'm the decider"

and I'm going to take my ball and go home!!

[AnneD]

34. I don't think any of the adults in this admin...

like Laura, Rove, or Cheney let him go out of the house with his balls. He does not no how to handle them and is a danger to himself and others. He is NOT the decider :eyes:

[katty]

38. LOL, yea, heard his hissy fit-"I'm the decider!" give me the ball!!

[NoPasaran]

5. Okay, I think I've got it straight now

Bush is the Decider, Condi's the Unsticker, and Hu's on Frist.

[jeff30997]

16. Hehehe.Good one.

[ShortnFiery]

24. Ohh, Condi's on first!

Lieberman's on deck and Rummy's in the hole! :rofl:

[BigDDem]

6. I thought Dead Eye Dick was the decider

Rummy, you're doing a heck of a job.

[yurbud]

Shooter is the decision-maker, the Texas Tard is the Decider

[Demeter]

9. So, Let's So Dumbya That We're The Decider On HIM!

Time to crank up the public pressure, wouldn't you say, friends?

[jeff30997]

10. "I'm the decider, and I decide what's best."

Bwahahahaaaah!!! George,you even don't decide when to go to the bathroom!(Remember that memo asking Condi if he could go pee at the UN?)

[VegasWolf]

11. Bush reads a newspaper???? Bullshit! nt

[CottonBear]

12. I hear the voices...I'm a decider...

Good lord, he's such an idiot. How embarassing. He sounds like a bratty little school yard bully. :(

[bunkerbuster1]

35. And did I mention I'm a War Preznit?

but I wanna be a Peeance Preznit! And I'll be the decider!

[PurityOfEssence]

76. Well, he reads the "front page"...

Yes, he's an embarrassment to anyone who cares about others, who cares about paying attention, who cares about caring or who simply has a concept of caring. He's a miserable little prick who's incensed that he even has to explain why he's fucking the inferiors. The only good thing about him is that he's so feckless, lazy and incompetent that his ability to do damage is so severely limited.

The pettiness, meanness and vengefulness of this nobody is shocking.

[neoblues]

81. Mostly, though, he just looks at the pictures...

I almost said he just reads the pickshurs.

[deadparrot]

13. He's the "decider"?

:wtf:

Have we reverted back to kindergarten-speak or something?

[Patsy Stone]

20. He's the decider, because, see,

he decides. That makes me the decider. :crazy:

[MnFats]

51. in other words, he gets to decide stuff. stuff that needs decidin, he does

n/t

[Patsy Stone]

55. Now you've got it

I also think he's not a decider, he's a divider. :)

[Rose Siding]

33. How did he EVER get this job?

:rofl:

[deadparrot]

45. With that grammar, how did he ever get out of fifth grade?

:shrug:

;)

[yurbud]

14. If he said this before election, could have used it in commercials:

"Don't change deciders in midstream."

[VegasWolf]

15. "i'm a decider'er!", says Bush. nt

[Thor_MN]

75. I'm a deciderer, I'm a deciderer, I roam around around around

Bush

Total Fucking Idiot

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. Does he still think he gets to make the decifications? n/t

[CottonBear]

21. I saw and heard DimSon's "speech" on live TV this morning.

He said something like "Rummy's doing a great job." (I'm paraphrasing, but he did say something like that.)
It's the DimSon kiss of death.

[Patsy Stone]

31. I know it was you, Fredo...

[BigDDem]

23. Chimp-in-chief is decider

and Condi is the "un-sticker."

[primavera]

26. Actually, a judge and jury should be deciding...

... how many years in a federal penitentiary Rumsferatu should be looking forward to for personally overseeing the torture of detainees in American gulags.

[neuvocat]

27. He needs-a to stoppa drinkinga de cider

and start-a running-a the country-a.

[StaggerLee]

28. A war criminal protects another war criminal

Do decidin' needed on that.

[paparush]

29. Its part of Bush Wrap Album - F The World -

I'm a unider, not a divider
When it comes to Rumsfeld, I'm the decider...

32. He does have a point - solely an Executive Branch matter and Bush is the

Executive.

[Frank Cannon]

36. You mean the Executiver (n/t)

[Lisa]

40. but in 2000, he said he didn't like "deciders making the decisions"

[mike_c]

41. and don't nobody dare misunderestimate him, neither....

:nuke:

[pinniped]

42. A pathetic loser backs a pathetic loser.

Nothing new here.

[Raine]

44. "Decider"

:rofl: what a moroon! :D :eyes:

[Patsy Stone]

46. If there's no word

go ahead and make one up. I like whoever posted "deciderer-er" above. :rofl:

[Maat]

47. So eloquent, isn't he?

Just reinforces that the right guy is in office - the most knowledgeable, well-educated and competent, out of the 300-million or so U.S. residents!

:sarcasm:

Yep, my religious-hardright relatives are so in-the-know!
:rofl:

[rman]

48. "what's best" - best for who?

Not best for America and the rest of the world, i'd say.

[baby_mouse]

54. He's THE something, always

Wasn't he the hugger or the weeper or something a few weeks ago, according to him?

Does this man have any clear sense of his own identity? It sounds a lot like he's trying to make one up.

[DrZeeLit]

56. He and Rove can't fire Rumsfeld. They're looking for a small plane.

Cuz they know that he knows that they all LIED.
Rumsfeld may look like a dummy, and talk like a dummy, and even squint like a dummy, but....
he knows where all the bodies are buried.

And a scorned Rumsfeld is a dangerous Rumsfeld.

Unfortunately, he probably doesn't even consider setting foot on any small planes, does he?

[geniph]

57. "I hear the voices"

Um, I hear there's medication for that, your Chimperorness.

Decider. Jesus H. Christ on a trailer hitch. I need another Valium. I can't take these fuckheads much longer.

[Dudley_DUright]

64. Yeah, that was the sentence that sent chills down my spine

Nice to know that the man with his finger on the button is "hearing voices". :scared:

[bdamomma]

80. if it was us

hearing voices we would be locked up, why isn't this lunatic locked up.

bush is sick bastard. too much coke, alcohol and religion can make a person stupid.

[adriennui]

58. more incoherence

i heard the audio and it was mind numbing.

[WhiteTara]

59. this is an eerie flashback to last night's 24

when the "pres" says he is in charge to his top aide. That crazy look was in his eye (I wondered if the actor had studied *'s facial expression to learn madness for the screen) but anyway, we must get rid of this madman, even if has started to read the front page.

[AngryOldDem]

60. What an orator

First he was a uniter, not a divider. Now he's a decider.

Johnnie Cochran, he ain't.

But wait, it gets better:

"But I'm the decider, and I decide what's best."

Dr. Seuss, call your office.

What a moran.

:eyes: :banghead:

[ShortnFiery]

62. Argh! I just heard * on Lou Dobbs ...

What a friggin' rant of seemingly a spoiled child. :(

[complain jane]

77. "Seemingly"?!?

[2Design]

63. unfortunately it appears he does get to decide - there does not seem

to be anyone to stop the BFEE

[Up2Late]

65. "I hear the voices..." That's kind of scary.

He's hearing voices now?:hide:

[Pastiche423]

68. He's been hearing voices...

Don't you remember god told him to bomb Iraq?

"President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden's stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians."

[IDemo]

67. I'm da cider inside da decider -->

[luckyleftyme2]

69. WE'RE THE FINAL DECIDERS

i can't wait for them (the people) to rid us of this administration, i predict the end of exxon/mobil
by 2008,the tax cut to be overturned, and many of this administration behind bars.
the hammer is going to drop soon.
i survived korea, vietnam and i'll survive "iraq-gate"! RUMSFELD Is a dinosaur, fighting a mordern war with ww11 ideas!

[Patsy Stone]

70. Amen, brother!

Absolutely right. We the people are still in charge, whether they like it or not.

[Generator]

71. Nanny 911 anyone?

You cannot freaking tell me he doesn't sound exactly like tantrum boy all "grown up." I'm doing this because I CAN and you can't stop me. And nobody has ever stopped him. I continue to blame Barbara Bush and George HW Bush for this blight of bad parenting that is killing the country and countless innocent soldiers and Iraqi's.

God help save us from the little boy.

[Patsy Stone]

72. He's very angry

and petulant. He always yells and has tantrums. But, with Babs for a mom, I suppose we're lucky he stands upright -- sorta.

[JerseygirlCT]

78. Mommy said so. nt

[Beausoir]

79. No, I'M the Decider! W is the thimble. Unka Dick is the Top Hat and Bar

is the Battleship!

[BikeWriter]

83. Great! Let rummy drag him further down!

[skip fox]

85. Heck, why mock him? He's got all that decisioning to do!
