BUSH TAKES OFF THE GLOVES!

President Bush tonight ripped the Democratic Party as a pack of do-nothing obstructionists bent on derailing his agenda of reform, telling Democratic leaders in Congress that on issue after issue, "they stand for nothing except obstruction, and this is not leadership."

Joseph Curl at WASHINGTON TIMES reporting in fresh editions: At an evening congressional gala at the Washington Convention Center -- which drew $23 million for House and Senate Republicans and amounted to the kick-off of the 2006 political campaign season -- the president drew standing ovations from GOP faithful as he hammered Democrats for offering no solutions to the nation's most pressing problems. "If leaders of the other party have innovative ideas, let's hear them. But if they have no ideas or policies except obstruction, they should step aside and let others lead," Mr. Bush said to thunderous applause from more than 5,000 supporters.

The president, who has spent the last several months seeking consensus on his Social Security reform package and reaching out to Democrats with non-confrontational rhetoric, said opposition party leaders are pursuing "the philosophy of the stop sign, the agenda of the road block, and our country and our children deserve better."

"Political parties that choose the path of obstruction will not gain the trust of the American people," he said at the event dubbed "The 2005 President's Dinner."

1. them's fightin words, george

BRING IT ON!

2. He can't order Congress to do anything!

The Dems in Congress have been so stymied for so long by the Republicans (especially in the House), that it's not likely they're going to suddenly drop and follow his "orders."

[BayouBengal07]

3. Sooo...

The opposition party provides opposition....

And its not leadership?

I guess "in the face of crises" he sees, we aren't providing solutions, but he's looking at all the wrong crises. Social Security is one thing, Iraq is another.

[janx]

5. And whatta pic! Here he is, giving his "the gloves are off" speech:

[tanyev]

8. He's got that gesture down pat.

21. Say it with me folks SEIG HEIL!

6. I think he was looking in the mirror. He has been

doing nothing but destroying things since he quit drinking.

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. Wonder how many "centrist" Republicans will jump all over Chimp's ass.....

....for these statements?

Kinda makes you wish we had some "RLC" moles in their party, huh? :evilgrin:

[janx]

10. Nobody will. Look at some of these freeper comments,

which the speech was sure to elicit:

Howard Dean just crapped his pants.

The DUmbocrats will be unhinged on this. Watch them make utter, complete fools--well even more--of themselves. Howard Dean... boy o boy I can't wait to hear him open his trap again. National Socialists, UNITE! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAARGGGGHH!

Now if he can keep it up and do this about every two weeks. If he does it tastefully and without the Dean hate sneer.

I say BushCo are setting up Dean. They know that little twerp can't resist opening up his pie hole on this one. GOP is playing the liberals like little beeeaaaatches. They are probably all laughing at the Dems behind the scenes like we all are.

14. Freeper Blogs are very boring... theres no color.

Here is DU... it's always very colorful, with lots of smiles, photo's, catoons, etc...

[janx]

19. Yes it is.

;-)

[Gregorian]

9. Well, if this isn't a switch.

Looks like Dean might have Rove running to catch up. But the only spin we spin is the spin of the truth.
Come on Rove, who's leading now?
When bullets and fear lose their effectiveness, the truth shines through.

[janx]

13. Just so. With us, it isn't an act. n/t

[Rainscents]

11. Hey asshole... Democrats can't their agenda out of the committee

because, you control all three branch. :wtf:

12. Monthly vacations at Crawford on our dime are something?

[Todd B]

15. Nice choice of words, chimpy.

"Political parties that choose the path of obstruction will not gain the trust of the American people," he said at the event dubbed "The 2005 President's Dinner."

*cough*

Says the "president" with a 46% approval rating and a majority congress with a 30% approval rating.

Yeah, great choice of words there.. idiot.

**Well, I'm off to watch West Wing and fall deeper in to depression longing for a president who is actually intelligent and I can look up to and admire. :/**

[KingFlorez]

16. Sit Down George!

or better yet resign an go sit down in Crawford!

[Erika]

17. Bush just couldn't pull off being a statesman or a uniter

Remember when he said he would lead by "consensus"? His leadership has turned into a first class fiasco with his poll numbers tumbling.

He can act like a big guy at a GOP elitist fundraiser but he cowers from appearing in public. Bush, the joke.

[janx]

23. If I were Bush*,

I'd be afraid to appear in public.

[Erika]

25. He is afraid to appear in public

All of his appearances are prescreened to include only those who he will be speaking to the choir.

[FreedomAngel82]

29. And don't forget

when he goes to other countries he shuts down the town he's in and nobody can even look at him. When Laura went to Germany or wherever and was at that school it was all AMERICAN students. Nobody of the orginial homeland.

[sendero]

18. Dear Mr. Bush..

.... with basically every single thing you have done as president ending in failure or being stuck in failure mode, thank God there is someone there to obstruct you.

Moron.

[Hand]

20. "This is not leadership"????

Asshole... YOU'RE the PRESIDENT. Your party controls BOTH HOUSES. You lead, we obstruct. That's how it works. :nopity:

[janx]

22. If that party weren't so crazy it wouldn't have to be that way. n/t

[janx]

24. I'll tell you what is frightening though--

I just heard him say on CSPAN that the best way to protect this country is to spread Democracy and freedom everywhere.

We HAVE to get that guy out of there!

[FreedomAngel82]

26. We don't have any ideas?

Bullshit George. You steal them all you fucking asshole.

[janx]

30. He owes all Democrats an apology. And he should take

his words back immediately. How dare he talk about Democrats like that? Will the news media needle members of Congress into making statements?

[Dr Fate]

27. America's children deserve Kerry's healthcare plan you fucking liar.

How's that for confrontation AND an idea?

[janx]

28. HA!

:rofl:

[dave29]

31. President Bush: Stop Obstructing Progress

with your unpopular agenda. Democrats have done America a favor by stopping your religious right wing agenda from destroying our country. If you continue to obstruct progress with your ideology, we'll continue to obstruct your unpopular agenda.

Your ideas have failed spectacularly, and we'd be more than happy to present our Agenda to the American people. I kindly suggest stepping aside.

You can complain about Democrats all you want when you control the entire Government - we have an agenda, the American people know it, and they are far more supportive of us than your failed attempts at Governing.

Stop playing word games, and obstructing progress, President Bush.

[baron j]

32. Dumbya was able to say the word "obstructionist" without

stammering? Weird.

[JNelson6563]

33. I'm sure Biden and Richardson are all over this

and Pelosi too.
