Why does Bush keep using the term "Wakeup call"

[VermontDem2004]

He said this after 9/11, he said this referring to Saddam Hussein. I hear him use this reference so many times, recently, he said this referring to the blackout. How many wake up calls are we going to get during Bush's term?

of all the "wake-up calls" he's had after his own "blackouts."

:P

7. yes, but....

you'll still have to section the grapefruit and butter the toast for him....

[Wwagsthedog]

6. Is he using "wake up" call......

..... as a warning that he is going to cause something bad to happen?

[PaDUer]

8. Usually

means that...put nothing past this gang..Remember, we said when he first left, that something was going down..it sure did!

9. If you haven't noticed his limited vocabulary by now, it

is really a nice catchall phrase that means absolutely nothing concrete.

10. PLEASE

it's his way of defecting all blame to the Clinton Administration!

11. Another cliche from Karl's list of "buzzwords" folks like to hear.

13. cliche

12. It's part of a new "Awareness campaign"...

14. I don't know know but it pisses me off that

he seems to be using this as another shot at ANWR with all his talk of how we must wake up and not be as dependent on foreign sources of energy...

bastard - one track mind - rape the environment make money for my friends and daddy need a drink dammit now.

[Clete]

16. Well, are you a betting person?

I keep thinking they are going to try to connect the Eastern power failure to the need to drill in ANWR. I know there is no connection, but neither was there a connection between Al Queda and Iraq.

[zekeson]

18. Ill take the bet if you give me the connection side

yep, never let a lack of evidence sway our fearless leader....

15. How many wake up calls are we going to get during Bush's term?

As many as it takes for him to inflict total 'terra'into the hearts and minds of 'Muricans' and declare himself Dictator for Life. The blackout was a trial run for the Nov election in '04. See how well it worked and how freaked out us 'Muricans' were and then 'blackout' the '04 election! No need to declare Martial Law or steal it! Just cause a major Nation wide blackout! Wake up call indeed! Time to get the hell outta Dodge, me thinks!
