60,000 DEAD - Bush is RIDING HIS BIKE

Forget the recount. I say this is grounds for impeachment.

Bush Biking, Relaxing at Ranch
By Deb Riechmann Associated Press Writer
Published: Dec 28, 2004

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Besides monitoring the devastating earthquake in Southeast Asia, President Bush is biking and strolling around his ranch here and pondering tax reform and other goals in his second term.

"He's clearing some brush this morning," deputy White House press secretary Trent Duffy said Tuesday, adding that the president and first lady also planned to host friends at the ranch.

"He's doing some biking and exercising as he normally does, taking walks with the first lady, and thinking about what he wants to accomplish in the second term." (more)

1. Who's going to care?

He was clearing brush back when 100,000 civilians were killed in Iraq...

[notadmblnd]

60. you're right, he was clearing brush on 911 too.

that M-f'er sure has a lot of brush to clear.

on edit: no I'm wrong, he was clearing brush for an entire month before 911. On 911 he sat in a chair and listened to children reading a goat story while 3000 died.

[bunny planet]

2. I know, can you believe it, he hasn't even made a statement.

What a disgrace this man is.

[da_chimperor]

3. Nero plays the fiddle while Rome burns

Chimpy clears brush while Asia suffers. Disgusting. :puke:

[billie_]

10. ack, I just said same thing....

indeed

Bu$h=Nero Fiddling while Rome Burns .....sigh!

[DoYouEverWonder]

100. Yep, history does repeat itself

the more people die, the happier Bush is.

[MichiganVote]

4. Uh..as much as I loathe G.W., so what? What is he supposed to do?

[da_chimperor]

30. Something/anything to help the victims

and given his position, I think he could do a lot. He is pResident after all . . .

[MichiganVote]

65. Like what? You're in charge of the schedule of the most powerful

man in the world. What are you going to pencil in for him?

[me b zola]

89. He sure didn't have a freepin problem

running to Florida where bro jeb was awaiting to 'deliver' the vote.
There was nothing that he did, nor could have done, by going to Florida other than to make it look like a plausible explanation as to why Floridians may possibly want to vote for him.

So if he portends to be such a big fan of disaster relief--and by all accounts this is the largest natural disaster in a generation--then why is he not making a public statement stating the sorrow that all Americans feel for the victims of this tragedy.

What a bastard.

[Geek_Girl]

101. Make a Statement that the US is Helping with the Relief effort

and encourage all Americans to donate what they can to the effort. Call for global support and if possible use military resources to help with humanitarian effort.

This is the worst natural disaster ever and W. is sitting on his ass picking his nose. It makes Americans look like a bunch of apathetic dolts.

Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark, who as the military's
top European commander helped supervise NATO's efforts
to respond to a 1999 earthquake in Turkey, said the
United States has unique military capabilities in
reconnaissance and logistics management that can be
useful in the current crisis. He urged Bush to take a
higher profile. "Natural disasters happen," Clark
said. "One of the things people look for is a strong
response that illustrates America's humanitarian
values."

Some foreign policy specialists said Bush's actions
and words both communicated a lack of urgency to an
event that will loom as large in the collective
memories of several countries as the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks do in the United States. "When that many human
beings die -- at the hands of terrorists or nature --
you've got to show that this matters to you, that you
care," said Leslie Gelb, emeritus president of the
Council on Foreign Relations.

Full story

[bunny planet]

38. He is the President of the United States of America, he's supposed to

make a public statement that acknowledges the suffering and tragedy that has befallen over 50,000 people on the planet he occupies.

What is he supposed to do????????
A gesture towards humanity would have been nice, but then what did I expect from *. He is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 people and counting in Iraq and that will never be mentioned either. He hasn't attended one soldiers funeral to date. What is he supposed to do?

[bunny planet]

41. Malloy is talking about this now.

He's pointing out that * made sure to donate FEMA funds in the billions to Florida before the election because he needed the votes but only 15 million offered to aid the tsunami victims in Asia. He spends 15 million in Iraq killing people in 2 hours. Like I said, the man is a disgrace.
He is spending 40 million on his second coronation.

[Stephanie]

47. Thanks - just turned it on

Malloy is right on

[MichiganVote]

66. Ok so the jerk makes a public statement. Then can he go back to his bike?

This is the same guy who read 'My Pet Goat; following the last disaster of account to Americans you know. What do you expect?

[tuvor]

5. What would you have him do?

Just wondering.

[RoeBear]

7. Thank you

for your response.

[tuvor]

31. Is there a problem with my question?

If there is, please clarify. Even if there isn't...please clarify.

[RoeBear]

44. Sorry

there is such a hate fest here against Bush, I was complementing you for raising above it

[Kellis]

56. you have GOT to be kidding me

"Hatefest AGAINST Bush!????"

LOL.....SOrry I forget this was a LOVEFEST forum for the little AWOL chimp fuckface........

WTF!???????????

[tuvor]

63. Well, my question was out of mere curiosity. Nothing more.

So I'm afraid I don't deserve you compliment. Matter of fact, I do hate bush, and I'm hard-pressed to apologize for feeling that way. He's earned it.

Besides, if a president can elicit responses of love and admiration, it follows that the opposite is true, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, thanks for replying to my previous question. I appreciate it. Cheers.

[Occulus]

94. A formal public statement would be nice

wouldn't it?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

103. Well, gee, ya think maybe this hate against Bush is...

ya'know...justified?????
Instead of being a "world leader" like he claims to be, Bush goes back to his ranch after informing the world that he's giving a paltry 15 million in aid, and loaning them the other 20 million only after someone at the United Nations accused America of being stingy.
Not to nmention what LastLiberal in PalmSprings brought up in post #46 about C-130's and their low cargo carrying capacity.

Then there's this little gem from the White House:
www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1457177

where they couldn't resist attacking Clinton over this disaster.

So yeah, I think the "hate fest" here is completely justified.

[Royal Observer]

104. I hate Bush

More than any of you. Nobody hates Bush more than me. My hate is justified, completely!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

105. No...

I hate Bush MORE than you!
Nyah!
:P

[Royal Observer]

108. I double

triple hate Bush more than you do.

[Shalom]

15. How About Spending a few Iraqi Kill Dollars to Save Lives ?

(snipped from another thread)

There are lots of ways to look at this: for example, Bushitler is about to "ask" the US Congress to approve another $80 BILLION for Iraq and Afghanistan for 2005: this works out to be almost $7 BILLION per month.

As such, the current spending rate of $4.5 BILLION per month to murder Iraqis alone is a good estimate.

Remember that a BILLION = 1,000 MILLION, so this turns out to be $4,500 MILLION per month to murder Iraqis.

If you divide $4,500 million by 30, you get $150 MILLION per day to murder Iraqis.

Now it is a simple matter to divide $150 MILLION per day by 24 to get approximately $6 MILLION per HOUR to murder Iraqis.

Using this new unit of currency (the "HIMC", the "Hourly Iraqi Murder Cost"), it is easy to compute how either the first US offer of $15 million, or the updated offer of $ 35 million for aid in SE Asia only amount to several HIMCs.

HEIL THE FLESH-EATING BUSHITLER DYNASTY !!
MAY THE REICH OF THE BUSHITLER DYNASTY LAST FOR 1,000 YEARS!!

[Stephanie]

16. Show some respect, honor the dead

Pay condolence visits, make a speech pledging support, send the Marines.

Sort of like what the rest of the world did on 9/12/01.

[tuvor]

32. Gotcha. Thanks. n/t

[Kellis]

57. THANK YOU

for the voice of SANITY among the many bizarre comments being made.

[MichiganVote]

68. The Marines were sent. Along with planeloads of aid.

[flygal]

99. Exactly!

[bobweaver]

24. I would have him pull all troops out of Iraq and have them rebuild S.Asia.

[Donailin]

76. Sacrifice his own pleasure

and be merciful and generous and compassionate to the sufferring. Not ride his fucking bike like the retard that he is with OUR fucking money funding his motherfucking vacation.

You know, stuff that Christ would do since he's the king of christian fucking morality.

any other brilliant questions????

[HeyManThatsCool]

6. He's clearing some brush this morning...

Too bad he cant just clear himself away

[NJCher]

84. that would only require removal of an "r"

"Clear the b(r)ush away.


Cher

[billie_]

8. We could learn something from "W"

and clear a Lil BrUSH of our own....God, I try so hard not to hate, but this war criminal resident in thief makes it damn hard!

Arrrrghhhh......Bu$h=Nero, fiddling while Rome Burns :(

[tanyev]

9. How many people

go around planting brush on that stupid farm just so Georgie can have something rugged and manly to do when he's down there???? Provides a few jobs for the locals, I guess.

[RaulVB]

11. Isn't that what a "compassionate conservative" does?

"What will Jesus do in Crawford, TX?"

[robbedvoter]

12. To be fair, he's been monitoring a lot - needs some rest!

Bush Monitors Earthquake Damage From Ranch

President Bush spent part of Monday at his Texas ranch monitoring devastation from a deadly earthquake in Southeast Asia — a replay of his post-Christmas vacation last year when he was monitoring damage from an earthquake in Iran.
Bush sent letters of condolence to Bangladesh, Thailand, Sri Landa, Indonesia, India, Maldives and Malaysia — all countries affected by the Sunday earthquake and tidal waves that have killed more than 22,000 people.
"He's been monitoring it very closely," White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters at a briefing here. "He's seen some of the images on television."
On Dec. 26, 2003, when Bush was beginning his 2003 post-Christmas vacation here, his advisers were keeping him abreast of an earthquake in southeastern Iran that left more than 26,000 dead.

[Shalom]

22. It's HARD WORK being Bushitler, Leader of the Freeper World...

[SmokingJacket]

97. "seen some of the images on television..."

This guy watches a shitload of TV.

For all those asking, Well, what's he supposed to do? I'll answer:

Get on the goddamn phone. TALK to the UN, the Red Cross, the aid agencies, the leaders of the countries involved. BE AN ACTIVE LEADER. Don't rely on your aides to do everything while you "clear brush" for god's sake -- get some INFORMATION FIRST HAND for a change.

He's the PRESIDENT -- no one's going to hang up on him!

Make some decisions! HAve some meetings! WORK!!!!

It's becoming clearer and clearer that Bush is a figurehead, just like the Queen of England.

He does nothing, ever.

[WMliberal]

13. he doesn't care. They have brown skin.

He's more upset about 8 dead Murkins than 66000 heathens.

[AgadorSparticus]

80. you got that right! it's so blatantly obvious too.

[Andy_Stephenson]

14. I am from 30 miles south of Crawford

as much brush as this idiot has cleard over the last four years...It is amazin there is any FUCKING BRUSH left in Central Texas.

I cannot for the life of me believe that the natives there believe all the brush clearing bullshit.

[Stephanie]

19. 'Clearing Brush" is a euphemism for

getting shit-faced

[Andy_Stephenson]

27. Dialing

:)

[zapped 1]

21. he once said that he does not read the newspapers.

maybe Andy Card hasn't told him yet. If that is the case, give him an hour or so and he'll do something.

[RaulVB]

25. They don't

"*" apparently is having a medical condition that would explain his frequent "Crawford escapes."

Of course we'll only know the truth if he dies tomorrow!

[MissBrooks]

17. I just heard on CNN or was it MSNBC

That the US has sent 6 C130s filled with supplies and food plus several search and rescue planes looking for survivors.

The Abraham Lincoln - which is an aircraft carrier, is headed there, plus five other boats to be used as hospitals or something.

I think he is putting together some good quality help for those poor people.

[idiosyncratic]

36. But we haven't heard from him . . .

Not that I would listen anyway. I can't stand to listen to him.

However, I heard President Clinton on a radio show today where he made a suggestion about how to handle the aid.

You would think the pResident could make a statement about such a horrific tragedy.

[RevCheesehead]

75. And to think, people felt "safer" with * than with Kerry!

From what I remember, * sits around and does nothing during moments of crisis:

9-11: 20 minutes of paralysis, listening to children read about a pet goat while thousands die and the country is terrified.

With his relative inactivity to THIS disaster, just HOW do people feel more "secure" with him doing nothing at all???

[Generator]

37. Georgie to the Rescue!

Defense of worthless George really isn't warranted. He's a louse. But vacations are necessary evils for evil leaders, doncha think?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

46. Sending a C-130 is like giving a sip to a dehydrated man

I was in the Air Force and Reserves a long time ago, and when a disaster occurred the President (Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan) immediately ordered relief supplies flown in on many of our C-141 Starlifters and the C-5 Galaxies. These are huge aircraft, and fast. I also flew C-130s, and while they are decent workhorses, they hold about one-third the cargo of the C-141 and fly half as fast.

In other words, by sending C-130s Bush has done the bare minimum necessary to say he's assisting relief efforts.

Today's heavy cargo lifter is the C-17 Globemaster, which carries almost as much as the C-5 and can land almost on a runway almost as short as the C-130. THAT's the aircraft Bush should be sending, even if they're filled with supplies and personnel from civilian relief agencies. Isn't that what he's been advocating -- the "armies of compassion"?

[MissBrooks]

49. The C130s came from Guam

[Stephanie]

52. THIS ^ is an important post worth reading

Bush is so contemptutous of the human race that he does't even send our best response in the worst emergency in memory? It's appalling. I weep for my country.

[Stephanie]

48. I hope you are right that help is on the way

I doubt that George Bush had anything to do with it

[MissBrooks]

71. You are probably right....

The C130 pilots decided to fly there to help out on their own. No government intervention.

[Kellis]

59. "Good Quality Help"

The fucking moron is out riding his bike while thousands are being bulldozed into mass graves.

The man is a fucking DISGRACE.

85. stop making excuses for this miserable sop of a man

Have you gone on with your life since this occured? (sic) Have you gone to work? Checked your mail daily? Bought a Coca-cola when you were thirsty?

Hey, I didn't steal a presidency so I can have a Coke if I want to. If you're going to steal a job, at least pretend to do it. He can start his list of meaningful activities by cancelling his $40-45 coronation and donating the money to the relief efforts.


Cher

[Skittles]

102. WHAT I DO DOESN'T F***ING MATTER

I AM NOT THE G.D. SO-CALLED PRESIDENT. THAT SACK OF SHIT SHOULD HAVE ADRESSED THE NATION AS SOON AS THE SCOPE OF THE DISASTER BECAME KNOWN. That is what a REAL LEADER would have done.

[ShinerTX]

18. It's sickening.

Does he even realize how much beach erosion has taken place because of this earthquake? It's an environmental nightmare, and he sits there doing nothing.

I'm laying the environmental consequences of this disaster squarely on the shoulders of *. If you sit idly by while the raping of these beaches occurs, then that makes your responsible.

[BoomerSoonerOKU]

23. Not even putting * into the picture

how can you blame natural disasters on anyone? I had my home destroyed in the May 3 tornados, whose fault was that?

[ShinerTX]

26. Two words...

...Global warming. And * has done nothing to stop it.

[BoomerSoonerOKU]

33. Ok..

Where can I find the info linking earthquakes and global warming?

[ShinerTX]

35. I was talking about tornados and global warming

I don't think it's related to earthquakes, but I don't think Bush has done enough to prevent disasters like this. With all the money we have, why should countries like Sri Lanka have to pay for their own tsunami warning systems? Should we chip in to help out these poor countries? The blood is on all of our hands.

[BoomerSoonerOKU]

40. Who has???

* wasn't president in '99. As far as the Sri Lanka type stuff. It would be great if we helped them, but have any of them even asked for that help? If they did, wouldn't that go through the U.N.?

[ShinerTX]

42. So it's the UN's fault, but not *'s?

[BoomerSoonerOKU]

43. I said no such thing...

I merely asked a question that seems pertinent to the discussion. I have no idea what if anything has been asked of the U.S. or of the U.N. concerning natural disaster warning systems. I did read that many seismic centers in the U.S. tried to contact some of these countries to warn them but were not able to reach people that could do anything about it. Who's responsible for their lack of organization?

[traco]

91. I'm confused

Do we want * to stop spending, or to keep spending? Is it ok for him to keep spending our children's future as long as it goes out of our country?

I myself want him to get his hands out of the money that is suppose to be for my children's future!

[Donailin]

77. natural disaters are not born in a vaccuum

EVERYTHING and EVERYONE IS CONNECTED in nature. and what is more important is the response of the one person who represents this country, and every citizen in its borders.

On 911, EVERYONE around the world responded in shock horror and empathy. This tsunami makes 911 look like a walk in the fucking park and our POTUS vacations on a fucking ranch.


The shamelessness of this murdering looting lying lazy piece of shit is breathtaking.Beyond the pale, beyond words. He critizes Clinton by saying:
"The president wanted to be fully briefed on our efforts. He didn't want to make a symbolic statement about 'We feel your pain.' "


He can't say it because he doesn't feel anything at all, except greed and apathy. He's disgusting.

[Skeptic_All]

20. Think it's time to take a deep breath...........

and for a moment, ask yourself what else he could do at the moment. As bad as the disaster is in Thailand and elsewhere, Bush's actions or lack thereof, hardly constitute grounds for impeachment.

Save your enthusiasm for more important matters.

[Stephanie]

29. Oh yes you are absolutely right

60,000 human souls swept from the Earth in an hour is not a matter of any importance. Let me follow the example of the "president" and go for a bike ride.

Pray tell what is more important than 60,000 human lives snuffed out in one horrifying hour, millions homeless, millions of lives still at risk due to no clean water or food - what do you think is more important than that?

[Shalom]

34. Exactly, Stephanie...Nero fiddled while Rome burned...

And Bushitler biked while SE Asia drowned....

[elizm]

53. What's more important???

Why, his inaguration of course!!!

[Kellis]

64. Oh

PUHLEASE!!!!

Nobody said ANYTHING about IMPEACHMENT over this GOD DAMN issue.
The man is a national DISGRACE!There is NO EXCUSE for him not making a statement about a trgedy that has killed thousands of people and is the worst natural disaster to occur since I don't know when.


YOU go take a deep breath and for get coming in here defending that fucked faced motherfucker to DU.

[Karenca]

73. Kellis,

:hi:

[Donailin]

79. Oh, he shouldn't be impeached, he should be

tried for war crimes and given the death penalty.

Chomsky: Which incidentally is very much like Srebrenica – which is universally condemned as genocide -- Srebrenica was an enclave, lightly protected by UN forces, which was being used as a base for attacking nearby Serb villages. It was known that there’s going to be retaliation. When there was a retaliation, it was vicious. They trucked out all the women and children, they kept the men inside, and apparently slaughtered them. The estimates are thousands of people slaughtered.

Well, with Fallujah, the US didn’t truck out the women and children, it bombed them out. There was about a month of bombing, bombed out of the city, if they could get out somehow, a couple hundred thousand people fled, or somehow got out, and as you say men were kept in and we don’t know what happened after that, we don’t estimate .

But what was dramatic about Fallujah was that it was not kept secret. So you could see on the front page of the New York Times, a big picture of the first major…step in the offensive, namely the capture of the Fallujah general hospital. And there’s a picture of people lying on the ground, soldier guarding them, and then there’s a story that tells that patients and doctors were taken from – patients were taken from their beds, patients and doctors were forced to lie on the floor and manacled, under guard, and the picture described it.

The president of the United States is subject to death penalty under US law for that crime – alone. I mean that’s a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions, Geneva Conventions say explicitly and unambiguously that hospitals must be protected, hospitals and medical staff and patients must be protected by all combatants in any conflict. You couldn’t have a more grave breach of the Geneva Conventions than that.

[Pithy Cherub]

28. er, um, * and bike rides are not a great combo add thinking and

well you are asking way too much from such a limited man.

Greater leaders would be seen doing and saying something that would look like they should be the Leader of the Free World. * is niether compassionate or enough of a leader to do anything beyond his limited capacity for thoughtful and compassionate action. It just ain't gonna happen.

The rest of the world will pick up the slack and be concerned about the plight of all people.

[Peter Frank]

Bushitler never ceases to fuck up does he? LOLOLOLOLOL

[elizm]

45. I heard on AAR today...

One word for the big cowboy: CHICCCKKENNN!


(Actually he is reputed to be terrified of horses, ha ha ha.)

If he's such a damned good Christian, shouldn't he be in Church today of all days saying a prayer or two?!

...when I looked at that picture. "He's heading for the hills."
Poor little guy. I hope Shrubbie isn't mean to him.

[LittleClarkie]

87. Oh, I don't think he means to

but I've seen pictures where he's dropping him, or trying to salute with him in his arms. And remember how every time we saw a picture of Bush with a baby, the baby was crying. I don't imagine Barney feels any more secure than your average baby in the shmuck-in-chief's arms.

[Vektor]

88. You're probably right...

GWB is sort of an oaf...not very graceful, and probably a little awkward with puppies and babies.

[saracat]

90. And windsurfing during a vacation was a bad thing for Kerry!

92. Even in early dementia, Ronnie would have made a statement.

Somebody may have had to write it for him, but he would have learned his lines & performed with feeling. Never a great star, he remained a journeyman actor as long possible; at least, he had a skill.

Bush can't be trusted to tape a simple message of condolence--the smirk keeps giving him away. (Of course, a live message would be unthinkable.)

This is just symbolic, but it's part of his job. Is he actually working on organizing any substantive help? Only the Bush-lovers think so.

[VaYallaDawg]

93. And who said it's hard to get a chimp to ride a bicycle? n/t

[DS1]

95. You're confused

God put Bush in charge of America, not the world.

[fryguy]

96. i guess not enough amerikans died

sad to see our president so callous and detached from the rest of the world.....

[maxrandb]

98. How Much "effing" Brush is there at this pig farm?

My God! The elections over. Does this guy ever stop pushing that "tough-guy, wild west, brush clearing John Wayne" image?

Why don't they just say in the article that "he mosied on over to the saloon for a sarsaparilla, six-guns on his hip as he looked for any liberal terrorist varmints and chewed on his self rolled cigar".?

Jeez! I half expect to hear that whistle tune from the Clint Eastwood spaghetti western while reading this drivel.

This guy is from CT isn't he? He did go to Yale, didn't he? He is scared to death of horses, isn't he? He wears $2000 suits, doesn't he? He never saw combat, did he?

And yet, there was John Kerry, defending the media mantra that "he" was a phony.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

110. Clearing brush is the onlu thing he's good at.

If he weren't the son of a President that is exactly what he would be doing....

[Kansas Wyatt]

106. Has he crashed his bike again?

[bunkerbuster1]

107. Eh, the night of the disaster, my Fox News affiliate ran the story AFTER

a very important item about some commercial flight being diverted en route to Atlanta.

No lie. I was looking at the clock to see when they'd get around to reporting that tens of thousands of people had died--it was eight minutes into the broadcast.

That's prioritizin' here in Dumbfukkistan.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

109. They're beating up on Bush on CNN....

looks like this has really P.O.'d a lot of people. They're comparing him to Clinton - and not in a good way.

Hopefully - this will lead people to question his many other callous actions with regards to billions of other people - in this country and others.

[Stephanie]

111. Is that right?

Please tell us what they are saying - maybe post a new thread about it. I'd love to see Bush suffer some backlash for his absolutely disgusting lack of simple human decency.

[KamaAina]

112. Given Bush**'s documented bike-riding "skills",
