Bush, LIVE: "We need to keep our foot on the pedal of this strong economy"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Right now, MSNBC, and probably elsewhere. Stump speech on how GREAT our economy is right now.

1. apt metaphor

for the whore... since it's enormous gas prices and the higher costs of transported goods that are propping the 'growth' up.

[bdamomma]

2. this guy is sick

what planet does he live on, no bad news for this decider. stupid man.

[terrya]

3. If you're a multi-millionaire like him...

and Cheney and that crowd, then the economy is just hunky-dory.

But it's "tough shit" for the rest of us.

[applegrove]

4. He actually said that? Is he trying to keep the heat of Rove? Does

he know he is the ligtening rod in chief today?

5. Keep buying SUVs. It wastes gas and makes what gas left even...

more expensive, and that equals increased profit margins. Just ask Exxon-Mobil's former chief executive who just retired with a compensation package roughly 400,000,000 in size.

6. What A Great Quote For Political Cartoonists.....

it's almost like someone keeps feeding him these lines that take him lower and lower in the polls each day.

I can see the cartoon now - * making this quote and a picture of *'s foot on top of an American's foot on the accelerator of a car with the background being a gas station sign with the price of gas at $4.00 plus with and arrow pointing upwards.

11. The "cute" and "inspirational" stuff comes from Karen Hughes.

This kind of line has her stink all over it. Maybe she thinks people are going to print it on bumper stickers and drive around, beaming with pride.



:silly:

8. I'm sure that "foot on the pedal" metaphor is just a coincidence nt

9. Keep on Driving, Folks, we need those record profits to continue

LOL

10. Thanks for the warning. "We must keep the pedal to the metal

as we the drive hearse to the funeral home."

[politicat]

12. Has he gotten into his dad's Haldol?

Poppy was making these type of ridiculous statements in 90-91. (Remember when he challenged Walter Mondale to "put his manhood up against mine" in 83?)

The man is dain bramaged.

[fasttense]

13. The problem is the drunken idiot bush has his foot

on the pedal and he ain't watching where he is going.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Chimpy only looks at a single economic indicator and thinks the

economy is just great for everyone. All he and his buddies look at is the stock market going up. What about the cost of everything moved by plane, train, or truck? What about energy costs? Medical costs?
What about the drop in income for the 'little' people over the last five years? Foreclosure rates? Personal bankruptcies?

[Vickers]

15. What the fuck, is he George Springsteen now?

:shrug:

George, George, George, leave the car analogies/metaphors to the experts. :spank:

[One Honest Guy]

16. Right over the edge of a cliff?

That's a good plan right there. :sarcasm:
