CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush, noting that lots of people want to talk to the president and "it's also important for me to go on with my life," on Saturday defended his decision not to meet with the grieving mom of a soldier killed in Iraq.

Bush said he is aware of the anti-war sentiments of Cindy Sheehan and others who have joined her protest near the Bush ranch.

"But whether it be here or in Washington or anywhere else, there's somebody who has got something to say to the president, that's part of the job," Bush said on the ranch. "And I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say."

"But," he added, "I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life." The comments came prior to a bike ride on the ranch with journalists and aides. It also came as the crowd of protesters grew in support of Sheehan, the California mother who came here Aug. 6 demanding to talk to Bush about the death of her son Casey. Sheehan arrived earlier in the week with about a half dozen supporters. As of yesterday (Saturday) there were about 300 anti-war protesters and approximately 100 people supporting the Bush Administration. In addition to the two-hour bike ride, Bush's Saturday schedule included an evening Little League Baseball playoff game, a lunch meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a nap, some fishing and some reading. "I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy," he said when asked about bike riding while a grieving mom wanted to speak with him. "And part of my being is to be outside exercising."

1. I read it as

"good, crisp, CHICKEN", to which I wondered if Bush was going to barbeque himself....

[ClassWarrior]

5. Make that "good, crisp chickenhawk."

NGU.

[swag]

2. "I think it's also important for me to go on with my life," said the

Narcissistic in Chief.

Yeah, buddy. That's fuckin' critical.

[Cha]

39. "critical" or not..I think he just

set the stage for boiling himself in oil.

This is the most megalomaniacal, narcissistic, act of sociopathic superciliousness on the face of the Planet.

No surprises here.

[Inland]

I see my president as the nation's fry cook

I could go on and on, but I'm sure you all see the analogy.

[achtung_circus]

3. Well

"I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy,"

Yeah, a good decision would be nice. When is he going to make one (1)?

[Imagevision]

32. 300 anti-war protesters were hired to protest Cindy...

3 million wouldn't touch this fine lady sticking to what she believes to be the truth.

This President had some serious problems with his upbringing - values? none - Busj; "fuck em"

[Imagevision]

38. Well, he just eliminated himself as the person to call the shots!

Bush, you're NO leader, you're a failure, you've killed over 100,000 civilians for a phoney war!! How can he get away with this??

[DesEtoiles]

4. great! So when, exactly, will this START happening (the good decisions...)

[Inland]

7. He's still working on the good part, but they are crispy. nt

[yorkiemommie1]

10. when he's done to a crisp

:evilgrin:

[MichiganVote]

6. So basically Jerry Falwell has something to say and C. Sheehan does not

Part of being a healthy president is to exercise outside? God, that is soooo lame.

[indepat]

8. Can someone name one good decision?

[FloridaPat]

9. Yes, I would like a pres that makes "good, crisp decisions", but we have *

instead. He wants to go on with his life? From what? He doesn't know what the word "balance" means either. What an idiot.

[MrSlayer]

11. Reading?

Yeah right.

[Arkana]

12. Let us translate the Bushspeak.

"But whether it be here or in Washington or anywhere else, there's somebody who has got something to say to the president, that's part of the job," Bush said...

Translation: This is my attempt to sound compassionate and awake to the needs of the people. Those with a brain will see through it in about 5 seconds, but the idiots in my base will suck it up like pineapple punch.

"I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."

Translation: Make that evil protestor mommy and her friends go away--I wanna go play Super Mario!

[ZombieNixon]

13. Nowadays, when I want "crisp" choices,

I head to the produce department at Safeway.

:eyes:

[AndyTiedye]

14. More Like "Burned to a Crisp"

[wishlist]

15. Bush rides bike while Baghdad burns- but so what, he got a mandate

He is thumbing his nose at his critics (60% of Americans) who resent him taking this vacation in the middle of a tragic month with mounting casualties in Iraq and record high gas prices and being too much of a chickenhawk to meet with Cindy. But he got re-elected, that was all that mattered, so now his critics can go to hell. What a selfish arrogant callous lout.

[AuntiBush]

16. Don't Know Whether to "Laugh" or "Cry!"

Between these 2 statements, and he repeated them almost verbatim! Where's his brains, JEEZ! Darn, that's right. Back at the "EASTERN WHITE HOUSE!" Man, what was I thinking...

"it's also important for me to go on with my life,"

"I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."

Certainly over 1800 plus deceased fallin' hero's we call our Troops, our Soldiers would like to be going "on with a good, crisp, and balanced life, right now!"

[Clark2008]

26. How come his brains are always at the "White House" where he isn't?

eom

[AuntiBush]

17. Emerson: My Favorite!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. Emerson = "Owners Manual for Life"

:toast:

[AuntiBush]

19. Best Trip I Ever Took Was to His Grave & "Their" Old Stomping Grounds

Up east... those fellow writers, poets, intellects were beyond their time. Bet they'd be rolling over in their graves if they knew about "these-days, huh!"

My dream: To visit there again, this fall if this Wed. is a bad rumor, ya know. I'm on the east coast.:yoiks:

[kestrel91316]

20. "crisp decisions"????????????

Oy vey - what planet does this freak hail from???:wtf:

[yorkiemommie1]

21. the planet ' Moranus '

lol

[TheDonkey]

34. He's a f*cking moron.

[leesa]

22. Just ONE good decision would be a pleasant change.

[devinsgram]

23. What the hell does he mean by crisp.

Crisp is what I want my potatoe chips to be. I want well thought out, reasonable and full of logic decisions. Never mind, look who we're talking about. Nuff said.

[sakabatou]

24. "I think people want the president to make good, crisp decisions."

Which you have yet to make, you chickenhearted bastard...

[Panda1]

30. He meant "good, crisp corn"

[sakabatou]

31. "Mmmm... that's like... uh... what doe sit taste like?"

[cliss]

25. Isn't that cute? Our President Bush wants us to see

he uses current adjectives. Here's a new one "crisp decisions". Like a crisp blue shirt, with medium starch. Or maybe he mixed the adjective up with Rice Krispies.

Here's another one: "robust". There's an adjective that shows that you're "in the know". Only top-notch people use that word. It means that something is growing "robustly" or "healthily", like our economy (not).

And yet another "Heads up". It means: look out. Bush: HEADS UP. Your nemesis has arrived down the road, and she won't quit until your fragile approval is flushed. 'Heads up' is actually old. It hit its heyday, but people still use it because they want to be seen as Hip.

Bush does have a tendency to mix up metaphors. One time, I read a web site that has Bush Butchers the English Language. I laughed for hours; had tears in my eyes for a long time. Here's one: Senator Leahy should not get on his high horse until the cows come home".

You see, the neurons in bush's brain (not Rove) have disconnected, and re-connected themselves. That's why you get these strange, strange sayings.

[gasperc]

27. not shitheaded, idiotic decisions like yours

jackass

[OneTwentyoNine]

28. So his point is....Go to Walmart and buy a bike!!

Be a good Murikan and help out a corporation this weekend!! Cindy who??

[Booster]

29. And I think people want a president to make good, INTELLIGENT

decisions. Something the Dimson will never be able to do.

[Skittles]

33. forget chickenhawk - bush is TENDERCRISP

what a f***ing asshole

[Miss Chybil]

35. Crisp decisions? A nap? A bike ride?

Everyday in every way, he continues to prove what a dick he is. But, then what does he care? He doesn't work for us, despite the fact he's supposed to.

[LittleClarkie]

36. A while back an editorialist here made the point

that Bush acts like he thinks a President is supposed to act, instead of acting like a President. It's almost the parody of a president. Like he thinks he's in a movie.

[Nikki Stone 1]

37. Way to miss the point completely, Junior.

I think this quote wins the prize for non sequitur of the day:


"I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy," he said when asked about bike riding while a grieving mom wanted to speak with him.

[DeepModem Mom]

40. kick

[peekaloo]

41. Why don't those anti-drug commercials use clips of this arse

speaking as a warning against drug use?

He's a Coke-O Crisp himself.

[Jacobin]

42. Aha, the Pringles President!!!

He wants to 'get on with his life'....code for: "I fucked up Iraq, but everyone has to ignore that because I'm the emporer and its time for me to go fuck up something else, without being reminded of my prior fuck up."
