We're not laughing now (Sure we are, at you: “eloquence of a second greater.”)
Posted on 07/18/2006 8:51:14 AM PDT by Liberty Toad
Remember back in 200 when George W. Bush was running for President? Even if you didn't support him, you were somewhat anticipating a Presidency with this amusing guy who didn't know the names of foreign leaders and who spoke with the eloquence of a second greater. Remember how after he was elected,Comedy Central even saw his Presidency as being whimsical enough to create a show, "That's my Bush." It was a laugh a minute back in those Bush salad days.
Now we have quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, a budding world war centered around Israel, $3 a gallon gas, $85 a barrel oil, the return of stagflation, a ballooning budget deficit, and a world that hates us.
I really don't feel like laughing anymore.

We have a Dow at nearly 11,000 after a drop of over 3,000 points immediately after 9/11, less than 5% unemployment.
And my friends in Iraq and Afghanistan would beg to differ with you regarding a quagmire. You wouldn't know a quagmire if it bit you on the ass, spun you around, shook hands and said hello. Stop using words that are too big for you, okay?
I'm sure people need some color copies over there at the Kinkos - go help the nice customers.

I don't think that anyone who says we are currently in "stagflation" is oversimplifying. He is making so absurd and baseless a characterization of the situation that he simply cannot be treated as an equal. My guess is s/he was drunk -- if only with rage -- when s/he posted that rant.

Thanks for saving me so much time - (seconds seem like minutes). It is better to learn didactically than experientially.

While I think that this post is an oversimplification, I would have expect FReepers to come out with more intellegent arguements, most of these posts are lame Why don't you do it then ?, come out with more intellegent arguements, the ones you wish to see ?
Meanwhile, let the rest of us play !

You're an idiot. Of course that goes without saying, because you are also a troll. "That's My Bush" was created by the creators of South Park, mainly because they liked him. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it hippy.

Who isn't laughing? A bunch of whiny liberals??
I'll send a donation to the RNC on your behalf :-)

Now we have quagmires in Iraq and AfghanistanReally? I hadn't noticed. Last time I looked, we were kicking major islamofasist A$$!
a budding world war centered around Israel
Try centered around Iran and their "gifted" leader, Amadingynutjob.
$3 a gallon gas
$2.70 here.
$85 a barrel oil
Cuz you refuse to let the oil companies drill for new sources.
the return of stagflation
Not even close, junior.
a ballooning budget deficit
Which has been projected DOWN 3 times in the fiscal year
and a world that hates us.
Like I give a rat's rear what the French think of us!
Go back to where you came from and don't come back until you grow a brain....
