We're not laughing now (Sure we are, at you: “eloquence of a second greater.”)

[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.

Can someone tell me what the President has to do with gas prices?

They keep running this argument. What was HILARIOUS was there was a protest the other day here in Milwaukee where one guy had a sign that said "WHY ARE WE PAYING $3 A GALLON FOR GAS" and another guy had a sign that said "NO MORE TAX SUBSIDIES FOR OIL COMPANIES!"

I mean WTH???

I really don't feel like laughing anymore.

It was 2000, NOT 200, and you really need to learn to spell, GOOBER!

[SuziQ]

That should be, "second grater," as he seems to rub you the wrong way.

For starters oil is at 75.00 not 85.00

I was going to say that it's 85.00 Canadian....but that's a little low....

[BreitbartSentMe]

And what exactly was George W. Bush elected to in the year 200?

[King Prout]

Remember back in 200 when George W. Bush was running for President?

[King Prout]

seriously, gw, how did you do that???

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Did you notice that we never had a transit of Venus when Clinton was president, either? I say the transit of Venus was BUSH'S FAULT!.

Damn, you're good. Very clever.

[cdnerds]

You know what I think???



I think your post needs more Cowbell!

[MEG33]

"Second greater"..???Now that's given me a laugh..

DUNCE CAP AWARD!

[Beckwith]

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. Facts, instead of insults, tend to work better; otherwise, we are in the same boat as 20-something college liberals who can't formulate an intellegent arguement and resort to debased forms of communication (i.e. students arrested at UT-Austin when Ann Coulter spoke).

For many Reagan is the greatest - so perhaps Bush is the second greater!?

Were these protesters holding bottled water? I doubt they ever took the time to calculate what they have been paying for a gallon of water. Or soda...
