1. WHOLLY SHIT

Wow, that looks bad...but Bush deserves it.

[heidiho]

2. I lived in Asia when Clinton came for a visit

and he was greeted with shouts of joy, cheers and adoring fans everywhere he went.

What a difference seven years makes!

And these people are supposed to be our friends!

[Spazito]

3. Those pictures are very telling!

The world knows what Bush is and what he stands for!

[jumptheshadow]

4. He's arrogant and self-absorbed

And he has hurt our international business relationships almost as much as he has damaged our diplomatic relationships.

Are American candidates able to accept international donations? I don't know if it's such a good idea in the first place, but if candidates can, then the Democrats would get the lion's share of international contributions.

7. MSNBC: Many in Asia have unfavorable view of U.S.

You don't say.

[brainshrub]

6. Very strong pictures n/p

[mmm]

8. WOW!

Those folks know how to throw a demonstration!

[Malva Zebrina]

9. Millions took to the streets all over the world to protest

Bush's invasion of Iraq. Why do I think that this actually titillates Bush and makes him proud to be the center of all this attention? He likes being the hated one, I think,--makes him feel quite important, and his dumassed wife goes along with the whole fake kit and kaboodle. They are making quite a display of their dumassed selves in this latest tour. Laura is dressed up< and talks like the frump she is, and George is jumping hither and thither yon because security tells him not to stay in one place too long. LOL. What a total emabarrassment these two are to this country.[br />

Great pictures and thanks for posting them

These countries are way ahead of us! I'm ashamed of us!

[nostamj]

[Clark Can WIN]

15. Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes you proud doesn't it. The village of Crawford needs it's idiot back.

[neebob]

16. I just finished watching his address

to the joint session of the Philippine congress on C-span. He started out by thanking the people who lined the streets for the warm welcome. Then he went on with the usual combination of lying and projecting about Saddam Hussein and the war on terror. If he hadn't mentioned the Philippines and their President a few times, I'd wonder if he knew where he was. He makes me sick. If he's not pure evil, he's completely delusional and oblivious.

19. I am confused--how did we get to war with radical factions of religion

such as Islam? Do you view this as a religious war?

and this: judge a man knowing full well you could never begin to fill his shoes I have news for you--anyone whose family name could bribe the Supreme Court to have him installed over the will of the people or over the decisions of the state of Florida Supreme Court, could fill his shoes. That took no talent at all on his part. All it took was a tendency toward fascism, bullyism and thugery. He is so dumb and so ignorant and so incompetant that any employee of WalMart could fill his shoes at this point of the game. All he has going for him is a well known daddy who got him there and who actually got him everything in his miserable life, and a daddy who, in truth, has only a name, because he himself had a failed one term presidency. This is a coward of a son of that failed president who was installed--he is dumb, inarticulate, ill mannered, and severely unsure of his own manhood. He also hides behind a woman's skirts and trots out his willing , apparently xanaxed Stepford wife every now and then to make it appear as if he is really very smart and stable--too bad she is rather quite obviously dumb and vacant also and has really nothing going for her either but she married well into money, in spite of the attempts to sell her as a famous librarien. LOL They both are a pathetic, weeny embarrassment to this country and should be booted outa there as soon as possible ie 2004--and we should never ever vote , or stand for a coup, by the Bush family ever again. Never. They are evil and they are not worthy, none of them--they are all substandard human beings without an iota of concern for the United STates of American and it's people--the only thing that concerns them all is their own power and their own profit and greed.

20. It sure the isn't bush

who will defend our constitution, hope you find someone else who will defend our country, someone with some brains in their head!I certainly cares what the world thinks of us, it is very important!

[MotorCityMan]

21. Repeat after me: IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11!!!!

The plans to invade Iraq were drawn up well in advance of 9/11. Yes, it was a tragedy, yes, we mourn the victims, but attacking a country that is NO THREAT to us for revenge and oil is not the way to do it.

You also say;
"How easy to sit back and judge a man knowing full well you could never begin to fill his shoes."

Have you paid attention to the current wearer of said shoes? They are about 10 sizes too large for him. He is in WAY over his head. He is arrogant, incompetent, intellectually very lazy, very lazy in general, and incapable of relating to the people he is supposed to govern.

24. As were the plans for invading Afghanistan

Another scam. Using Muslims as the boogie man while the Bush Crime Family pulls the trigger on 9-11. Bush has been and probably still is in business with OBL and Saddam. It's ALL a huge con game so the rich folks can loot our treasury and steal the ME oil.

22. Looks like the next contestant for "I.Q. Bingo"

has just entered. Give him a round of applause, a handful of Oxy, and let's play!

O.K. - first question for negative seven I.Q. points is as follows:

George Bush is:

A) very smart
B) a man with very small feet
C) drunk as a loon as we speak

[leesa]

23. Oh brother you are soooo deluded!

You do know that Bush allowed 9-11-01 to happen, don't you? Why are you so blind to this man's lies and heinous crimes?

Bush is anti-democracy and anti-constitution.

[kayell]

25. Move along now, nothing to see

it's just another focus group. :eyes:
