4. She looks like she is about to cry...
...then I might want to cry too if I had to be in the same photo as the chimp.

3. His drug plan for seniors must be really catching on!
Even in a STAGED photo-op, his senior companion looks totally confused, and PISSED-OFF!!!

5. I was just at the pharmacy and overheard,"The first one is $787,
the second one is $124..."
The customer didn't have the money and drove away without any of the prescriptions.
Now I've been wondering if it was for a pain medications. :cry:

6. He hasn't a clue, doesn't want a clue and couldn't care less.
He can't even relate to what is happening in that photo op of his. When are people going to catch on to that? I am so sick of his slick snake oil salesmen's tactics, when he's pushing some evil agenda that will hurt people like Wanda Blackmore and benefit him and his corrupt corporate campaign contributors. All he's done basically for the past five years is run around the country at the taxpayers expense and push these evil plans of his. He is on one endless campaign. :argh:

8. This is what he told seniors at a corresponding appearance-
snip>
"Look, I'm not going to tell you your business, but I think it's your responsibility to help your mom," Bush told Wendy Meyeroff. She had asked him to consider extending the May 15 deadline for registering for the new benefit without a penalty, but Bush refused.

"No," he said. "And the reason why is there's got to be a fixed time for people to sign up."
.....
Meyeroff, who questioned Bush about her mother, said she didn't "totally disagree with him. But that's not a good answer for everyone." A health editor for Erickson Retirement Communities, which owns Riderwood, Meyeroff said she was speaking on her own behalf.

Audience member Alan Mayers, a retired federal worker, said Bush's answer didn't account for seniors who don't have help from a child. "I think that was a little bit heartless, but consistent with the general approach of the administration toward safety nets," he said.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/15/AR2006031501575_pf.htm

Another article quoted him as telling her that ending "good deadlines" (as opposed to the kind that might help end wars) wouldn't help her mother make a "good decision"

It was so disrespectful that I was shocked that even crappy cable news didn't mention it.

9. Audience member Alan Mayers is master of subtlety.

"a little bit heartless", a little bit, I wish somebody would have asked me. You have heard the expression "Cuss like a Sailor" well guess what I used to do. "Excuse me, Mr. pResident Sir, may I please say a few words..."

7. Large boomer numbers aren't buying Bush's drug plan designed by
the drug and Insurance companies -- only from Bush could such a scam exist!
