Now—“Actually, Major military operations continue because we still have combat operations going on”. Is this boy of scorched brain or what? 45. TEACH FOR AMERICA PROGRAM ZAPPED BY BUSH. I am pissed off. Big time. In 2000 campaign Bush promised President Wendy Koop to expand it. His aides asked President Wendy Koop to quadruple it. . On July 11,2003 she got a letter “We regret to inform you your application was not selected for funding”. Gone. Zapped totally. Bush is one of sorriest not just worst in history. Read TIME—8-17-03. Joe Klein article headed “WHO KILLED TEACH FOR AMERICA”? Sorry, but I am so furious I have difficulty writing. I do not like to curse but xxxxxxx. 45.OBL not priority or is he? A 9-13-01—“The most important thing is for us to find Osama Bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him”. B. 9-17-01—I want justice.

Bush told bob Woodward in his book “Bush War” that “he didn’t feel that sense of urgency” about Al Qaeda prior to 9-11”. Now claims had great sense of urgency. 47.Nov 2003 Bush made highly touted speech about spreading democracy in the entire Middle East. NYT reported he backed away after it was denounced by Egypt Mubarak and Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. 48. 2-2-04 Budget Director Bolton-“we will not need additional funds for 04.” 5-5-04 Bush “I am requesting that Congress establish a 25 Billion contingency reserve ” 49. 3-9-04 Press Secretary McClellan-“Condoleeza Rice will not testify before 9-11 commission it is matter of principle.” President Bush on 3-30-94 “Dr. Rice will testify.” 50. 3-19-02 Ari Fleischer-“Creating a Cabinet Office will not solve the problem.” 6-6-02 President Bush “Tonight I ask the Congress to join me in creating a single permanent department securing the homeland of America.” 51.

Columbia Journalism Review—Bush vetoed Patients Bill Of Rights as Governor but boasted how he got it passed. Now, flip flop to double straddle. He touted the Texas law as super duper. When a challenge to the Texas Law went before Supreme Court Bush joined with two HMO’s in opposing the law. Could it be because the HMO’s are Pioneers in his campaign. Doesn’t this man have any honor or integrity? 57.Remove troops from Korea. A proposal by Cheney. Bush on 3-13-02 “There is no question we have obligations around the world, which we will keep. There is a major obligation for the 37,000 troops in South Korea. It is an obligation that is an important obligation. I know it is important and we will keep that obligation.

People have the right to do what they want to do, under the-under the First Amendment in America. August 23,2004 Bush said: “the practice of independent groups to run smear ads is bad for the system. They should be banned. ”Never heard of Swift Boat? 62. Bush said over and over in late 2005—“I will veto the McCain Bill on Torture” The Bill passed overwhelmingly in Congress and old --“When I make up my Mind it stays made up” --said “This is a great bill and I will sign it”. 63. Many times Bush stated “I will not negotiate with terrorists”. Many times he called Iraq insurgents “terrorists”. Newsweek-2-6-06—Military leaders admit they are in negotiations with “Insurgents”. Ho! Hum! Just another day in Bush Waffle House. 64. Speech in LA—Belliaco—Peter Fredson—4-24-06 Bush—“I know people here are suffering at the gas pump. I feel your pain. I Pledge to the people here f I find any price gouging it will be dealt with firmly He did not note the simple obvious. Exxon demand is down but PROFITS are at all time high for any corporation. 65. National Anthem in Spanish—Bush says it is wrong. In 2001 Campaign he had singers sing it in Spanish and applauded them. “When I make up my mind it stays made up.” 66. “A leader never Admits mistakes” Press conference with Blair in 6-06 Is he normal? “I regret saying “Bring Em On” and “Get OBL Dead Or Alive” 67. 4-9-99-Bush said-“Victory means exit strategy and it’s important for the president to tell us what the strategy is” 6-5-99—Bush said—“I think it’s also important to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn” 6-24-95—Bush said—“It doesn’t make any sense to have a timetable. You know, if you give a timetable you’re-you’re conceding too much to the enemy”. “I say what I Mean and Mean what I say”. Moogumboo. 68.

(I say what I Mean and Mean what I say 69.Bush Press Conference on Lebanon crisis—8-06-Chris Elliott seaboard on line ”I’m not prejudiced. As a matter of fact Dick Cheney’s daughter is Lebanese. I think a marriage should be between a man and a woman not a woman and a man.” So clear George! Snort! Snort! 70. Interview by Couric with Bush on 9-7-06 and Bush said-“One of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq with the war on terrorism”. Lordie! Is he sane? The only connection was his manufactured one to sell the Iraq slaughterama. Records show only 2% of those captured or killed in Iraq were non-residents of Iraq. 98% Freedom Fighters and/or Civil Warriors. 71. “The buldge on my back in Kerry Debate was ill-fitting suit”. Not so Said NASA Photo expert. A Box. No so said ItalianTailor who made the suit. “It fit perfectly”. 72. Told Wolf Blitzer on 9-20-06 I would “absolutely send troops into Pakistan to find OBL.” Week ago said he would not without Pakistan permission since it is a sovereign nation. Trust me. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Sometimes. 73.Bartcop-9-28-06 Bush said in the interview ”If the terrorists weren’t in Iraq, they would find some other excuse, because they have ambitions”. This an adult speaking? Fourth grader! #73 is almost beyond comprehension. 73. Unbelievable-Unreal—He said it—Interview with G. Stephanopoulos week 10-22-06—“James Baker plan is to develop a strategy between-- “STAY THE COURSE”-- and “cut and run”? Bush Reply—“We’ve never been about “STAY THE COURSE”. Tell me he is sober!

We will complete the job in Iraq”—8-30-06—“WE WILL STAY THE COURSE”— details at think progress.org It is hard to accept he is not mentally deranged. 74. WE DON’T TORTURE—why are our soldiers being convicted of it. Bush has been six years of mental torture to the people. 75. 11-13-06 “People who hate us. They hate the idea that somebody can go buy a home”” They will need to buy many to replace the ones we destroyed. Needlessly. Do you believe that is the reason./Or—is it that four members of 101st raped a 14 year old girl, burned her body, and killed parents and 6 year old sister? Or, destroyed Fallujah home to 250,000?Or, killed 550,000 innocent persons. Or or or or This Recovering Drunk is brain scorched frat boy. 76. 11-06-06—Tony Snow-“The president says we are winning the war”. This after Robert Gates testimony in the Senate “we are losing the war in Iraq”. Iraq Survey Group testimony--”We are losing the war in Iraq”. Bush said to his Biographer in 1999--“A Leader does not admit mistakes”. He just takes another shot of Jack and smiles. 77. 12-20-06—Press conference-“We are not winning or losing in Iraq”. Last week in press conference-“We are absolutely wining”. ”I say what I Mean and Mean what I say”. “Trust me”. 78. 12-06—“I think it’s been a very difficult year in Iraq. It’s my job to listen to a lot of opinions and come up with a strategy that says “we have a plan”. Same person who said many times “The Democrats do not have a plan for Iraq”. He never read Reid 528 Page plan which Senate Repubs would not allow on the floor for a vote. 79. Bush wrote 10-14-03 memo to Rev. Troy Perry on 35th anniversary of his church. Prior to this letter Bush had proclaimed “marriage is a sacred institution defending traditional family of man and woman. Perry had promoted Gay Marriage many times on national press. His church members were astonished that Bush would write such a memo. Even World Net Daily castigated Bush on it. 2003WorldNetDaily.com memo 11-12-03 ‘I will do anything to win” credo of Bush Family. 80. April 2003—Iran wrote White House offerring discussionCheney sid “We do not negotiate with terrorists we destroy them? 6-7-07 Secretary of State in Iran negotiating. Trust us. EXCELLENT LIST OF 172 WAFFLES AT WWW.FLIPFLOPS.COMPASSIONGATE.COM 81.No waffle just stupid --cnn showed (7-19-07)Bush speaking about an amputee he had met. He said “He is a good man. we are going to get him new legs”. 82. Wait one moment—Bush signed an Executive Order on 7-20-07 Outlawing Torture. Last month he told a group of High School students in the White House “We do not torture”. How many times has he and Tony Snow said it. Why outlaw a vacuum? He was lying then or now. You chose. 83. 7-23-07—Bush has spent five years disclaiming any correlation between Vietnam and Iraq. Speech to VFW on 7-22-07 was entirely about the correlation of Vietnam to Iraq. Disgusting to take this blarney blabber from a loon. clarence swinney 84. How much more can I stomach--- 8-8-07 Bush to Neil Cavuto—“No, I’m not a federal bailout guy—Let the Market work”. 8-31-07—Bush in speech—“we will help home owners who can’t pay their loans”. 85.Alki again? NY Times 9-4-07—Book-‘Dead Certain” author interviewed Bush who said he knew nothing on Bremer decision to fire Saddam’s army. Bremer wrote NY Times saying he personally told Bush and got a letter thanking him and praising him as a great leader. Bremer said many defense officials were told of the decision ahead of time. Bush is a Recovering Drunk (by admission) so you can understand his faulty memory. 86. 9-6-07 Sydney Morning Herald—phillip cooley—Deputy Prime Minister asked Bush what he saw in Iraq—Bush replied –“We’re kicking ass”—and killing hundreds of thousands and maiming tens of thousands for life—same loon who said this—He was asked what he and Dad talked about when alone. His reply “pussy”. Is he sane? Dead or alive—Bring em on 87.LOON?—In Australia for the APEC summit he made these two very very stupid remarks according to AP 9-5-07 – To Australian PM--”Thank you for being such a fine host for this OPEC summit”—“Thank you PM Howard for visiting “AUSTRIAN” troops in Iraq last year”. TELL ME HE IS NOT STUPIIID. 88. 2-14-07—Reuters—Bush certain “Iran” was providing weapons to fighters in Iraq. Two hours later he said he had no knowledge Iran officials were part of the arms deal. He is smart? Ho hum. 89. Just dumb remarks—“you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror”-- “if the Iranians were to have a nuclear weapon, they could proliferate”—“those who enter the country illegally violate the law”—‘It is a time of sorrow when we lose a loss of life”-- —“I believe that—young cows ought to be allowed to go across the border”—“the illiteracy level of our children are appalling”— “Is our children learning” He graduated from two colleges? 90. Director of national intelligence mike mconnell told the senate so called patriot act helped thwart an alleged terror plot in germany. Gov official told NYT he was wrong. It was under old FISA act. McConnell said he was wrong. Lied or mistaken? 91. Alcohol Mind At Work—9-19-07—Press Conference-“I think I got a B in Economics 101.” Grade records show two courses and grades of 71 and 72. This punk is unreal. 92. Same press conference. “I got an A for keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.” He is insane. Totally Nuts. Spend & Borrow is let kids pay tomorrow. Sixty per cent increase in spending on borrowed money is not responsible. DRINKING AGAIN? 93. On Iraq war 9-20-07—“President Saddam Hussein brutality had made it impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and stop the sectarian violence that engulfed the Middle East Nation. I heard somebody say “where’s Mandela”. Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandellas.” Nelson Mandella is alive in South Africa. Yes! He is on Jack again. 94. 9-24-07-Bush was asked if he is an asset or liability for Republicans in next year’s election. His reply “strong asset”. He has not read the many articles in major papers that the candidates are running frorn his horrible record. Oh! I forgot. He does not read papers or watch TV. What a punchy! 95. 9-25-07 Bush with group of kids in White House on NCLB—He said--“childrens do learn”. Wow! Normal mind? 96. The LOON told a Harvard Professor—“People are poor because they are lazy” 97. Beyond comprehension. On SCHIP veto Bush said these immortal words of inaneness—“No one goes without Health Care in America. After all, you go to an emergency room.” I ask Americans in seriousness-IS THIS LOON SANE? 98.10-18-07 A reporter asked Bush why he vetoed the schip bill. His reply “To ensure that I am relevant”. President smartass recovering dry alcoholic puke punk 99. Middle East Hero-In campaign Bush told how he would solve middle east conflict. He said “I will ride herd” on recalcitrant leaders by picking up the telephone whenever necessary and help produce an agreement”. Typical bravado moogumboo by a recovering dry drunk. Jennifer wrote that Bush “has been more a sporadic speaker than engaged enforcer over 7 years of turmoil” The Nov 2007 Annapolis meeting is his last stop effort. Jennifer Loven AP in N&R-11-25-07 100. In 2004 campaign Bush said this “We will lead an aggressive effort to enroll millions of poor children who are eligible but not signed up for the children’s insurance program(schip)”. He vetoed twice the SCHIP reauthorization bill. Center for american progress 12-13-07 It was reauthorized in Feb 2009 under Obama and D senate adding from 7M to 11M children. 101. Bush bragged during campaign how he would have an open administration. We know the record of closed administration. Rated most secretive in history. This is excess. Judge rules they must release the visitor logs for the White House. Bush does not want to reveal crooks like Abramoff, gays, destroy government nuts like Grover Nutquist, etc. who have made many visits. Open is Shut to this Gang. 102. 2008—“I will veto the new GI BILL OF RIGHTS it is too expensive”. Passed overwhelmingly. He signed it. 103. Last Monday 7-21-08, Bush signed an executive order to reverse his 7½ year policy against oil drilling in some offshore areas, falsely suggesting that it will help lower the soaring price of gasoline. Bush’s flip-flop on offshore drilling is just the latest attempt to divert attention from the conservatives’ failed energy policies. 104. 9-26-08-The Los Angeles Times points out that the "wholehearted endorsement of massive government intervention represents a startling about-face for a president who has insisted throughout his career that such meddling creates problems instead of fixing them." Principles fade in face of gunfire 105.—nov 13-08-nyc speech—“I’m a Market-Oriented guy but not when I’m faced with the prospect of a global meltdown. More regulation is needed.” 106. Stiglitz Free Fall—Bush said: “We are in a Recession because we buildt too many houses”..Folks! Is that a Loon or what? Later in same speech(nyc) he said: “the greatest threat to economic prosperity is not too little government but it is too much government involvement in the market.” 106. Potpourri-- "This thaw -- took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw." --George W. Bush, on liquidity in the markets, Alexandria, La., Oct. 20, 2008 "We're fixing to go down to Galveston and obviously are going to see a devastated part of this fantastic state." --George W. Bush, Houston, Sept. 16, 2008 "The people in Louisiana must know that all across our country there's a lot of prayer -- prayer for those whose lives have been turned upside down. And I'm one of them." --George W. Bush, Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 3, 2008 "First of all, I don't see America having problems." --George W. Bush, interview with Bob Costas at the 2008 Olympics, Beijing, China, Aug. 10, 2008 "I'm coming as the president of a friend, and I'm coming as a sportsman." --George W. Bush, on his trip to the Olympics in China, Washington, D.C., July 30, 2008 "There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover.
