..from bush's labor day speech Monday.

"Dependence on foreign oil jeopardizes our capacity to grow," Bush said in a speech focused on the U.S. economy - a key issue in November elections that will determine whether the GOP retains control of the House and Senate.

"The problem is we get oil from some parts of the world and they simply don't like us," Bush said. "And so the more dependent we are on that type of energy, the less likely it will be that we are able to compete, and so people have good, high-paying jobs."

Before his outdoor remarks, Bush spent time "steering" a U.S. Coast Guard cutter in a simulation room where he was surrounded by video screens offering him a panoramic view of the harbor in Baltimore and gurgling sounds of water.

"Just make sure I don't run into the wall," he joked.

---------------------

They simply don't like us. That's an odd statement that stands out among his millions of other odd statements. They simply don't like us, these nations that have oil, and our dependency on this oil they have messes with our "capacity to grow".

We are not three year olds out here mr. dumbass, we unlike you understand the english language and we understand when we're being talked down to and lied to as if we were children.

We were all born yesterday and we understand that these nasty terrorist brown folks with all the oil we need simply don't like us for no damn reason at all therefore we must bloweth the fuck out of them and take it, because they simply don't like us.

1. "Capacity to grow"

Sounds almost like Lebensraum. I'm just sayin'...

2. To grow like a cancer on the globe.

To grow like ancient Rome. Our capacity to grow extremely fat and wealthy like dick cheney.

3. The things he says are so simplistic he sounds retarded.

[Philosoraptor]

4. All he has to do is read the words, & he screws it up every time

He takes the words written for him to speak, written by his masters to address us, who they assume to be morons all, and manages to make them sound even more asinine.

He is retarded in the very real sense of the word.

6. He's just talking down to his audience.

The average Bush supporter is brain dead.

7. I don't think it's just we get our oil from there

as we get plenty from domestic sources. It's that we want to contol it and how it is traded in order to sustain a "dominance" by having all countries convert to dollars to purchase it.

8. Oil and souls for Satan, through dick and rummy

[mmonk]

13. And dollars. And this is probably how we will fall

and the empire project will fail. Unfortunately, too many people in America will sell their souls for the possibility of one more dollar. This administration is definitely representative of that!

9. I thought he didn't care if people liked us or not, anyway

and, besides, its HIS FAULT we are still so dependant on oil

[Philosoraptor]

10. if the guy who impersonates him said these lines he'd get big laughs

[ComerPerro]

11. the one from the Press Club Dinner? He was horrible

I think all the laughter at his routine was nervous laughter.
