George Bush%26#039;s Resignation Speech

If Bush resigned today, this is what his speech would be.....

Normally, I start these things out by saying %26#039;My Fellow Americans%26#039;, not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don%26#039;t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you%26#039;re really not fellow Americans any longer. I%26#039;ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution, let me assure you: There%26#039;s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I%26#039;m quitting is simple. I%26#039;m fed up with you people. I%26#039;m fed up because you have no understanding of what%26#039;s really going on in the world. Or of what%26#039;s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let%26#039;s start local. You%26#039;ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that%26#039;s despite record numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we%26#039;re mentioning minorities, I%26#039;ll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton administration. I%26#039;ve mentioned all those things before, but it doesn%26#039;t sink in.

Despite the shock to our economy ofMeanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there%26#039;s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets.

We face real threats in the world.

Don%26#039;t give me this %26#039;blood for oil%26#039; crap. If I were trading blood for oil I would%26#039;ve already seized Iraq %26#039;s oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don%26#039;t give me this %26#039;Bush Lied; People Died%26#039; crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could%26#039;ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be %26#039;discovered.%26#039; Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Clinton established that policy. Bet you didn%26#039;t know that, did you?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That%26#039;s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don%26#039;t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That%26#039;d be fine, as long as they weren%26#039;t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven%26#039;t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you%26#039;re not. That%26#039;s because you%26#039;ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I%26#039;m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of %26#039;Survivor.%26#039;

Instead, you%26#039;ve grown impatient You%26#039;re incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat%26#039;s political campaign, well, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it%26#039;s easy enough to find the truth. It%26#039;s all over the Internet, it just isn%26#039;t on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you%26#039;d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you%26#039;re too stupid to leave a city that%26#039;s below sea level and has a Cat 5 hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your idiotic belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I%26#039;ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So, I quit. I%26#039;m going back to Crawford. I%26#039;ve got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream of) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I%26#039;m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I%26#039;ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney%26#039;s quitting too.

That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it - you can have her. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that%26#039;s it.

God bless what%26#039;s left of America . Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you - kiss my ***!

How true is this?business loan

If George Bush said this, it would bring a tear to my eye..

Why cant the president just level with americans... Obama levels with americans and people still support him despite his close to insanity proposals..

How true is this?

WELL SAID GEORGE!!!WELL SAID!!|||It would be more along the lines of

%26quot;I am a complete failure. My presidency has been a complete failure. And I owe the entire country, if not the world, an apology.%26quot;|||You tell it like it is and let the dem fools rot in their own waste! Good Luck and thanks George!|||First of all. GW Bush couldn%26#039;t really make a speech like this. He%26#039;d have to have someone write it for him, he%26#039;d read it off the teleprompter and sort of stumble through it.

Secondly, he wouldn%26#039;t resign because he was unpopular, or he%26#039;d have resigned long ago. And Cheney is even LESS popular. Popularity means NOTHING to Bush. Neither does the Constitution or the law, even laws he signed himself.

But there is something about this speech that would make it very familiar, very consistent with his other speeches. Everything in it is a lie. 8^) The economy is a mess. The war is a failure. It WAS all about oil (write me and I%26#039;ll prove it, but you won%26#039;t because you don%26#039;t want to know the truth) and he is the most incompetent and crooked president in US history.|||What a load of crap. My response, Mr. President:

Resignation accepted, don%26#039;t let the door hit you on the way out, MORON.|||The guy a couple posts above me is right, the constitution means nothing to the Bush, what an ignorant republican sob he is, why do the other republicans support him, I suspect they share similar opinions

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/pu...|||First off he would have to read something like that and it is full of lies or misguided truth.

1.The War in Iraq said it would be short and sweet and after a Year he said no one said the war in Iraq will be short

2.Yes the Unemployment rate is down but the Jobless rate is up Unemployment only lasts so long

3.New Record of home owners so true gotten buy tricky mortgage plans that is causing hundreds of foreclosures now.

4.the rest of the world thought that Iraq had WMD? whats France Germany Italy have to say before the war started.

5.If we where fighting terrorism as strongly as we where fighting in Iraq terrorism by extremist may be gone already.

6.true oil demand is high but think about it there has been a cut production of oil every 4 months sense 2001.

sounds like something bush would say if it was written before he said it and was reading it as he was saying it

Does the fact hardly knew about Ron Paul worry anybody?

This was the only guy that ever made sense all throughout the election and most of the american public looked at him like he was insane even though almost all of his ideas were rooted in the constitution. Does it just go to show how far we%26#039;ve strayed away from the constitution?...The only thing i dont agree with is the gold standard, if we went to that the unemployment rate would go up 10 fold.

Does the fact hardly knew about Ron Paul worry anybody?loan rates

No.

Does the fact hardly knew about Ron Paul worry anybody? loan

Yes, it does. Obama makes sense too and it would have been a good race between him and Ron Paul, but if McSame ends up in office, then I may be buying my plane ticket to Europe!

He just didn%26#039;t appeal to people, accept it %26amp; move on with your life!|||No. It doesn%26#039;t bother me at all. I%26#039;m in the same state, near by district, and very close to the city and I hardly know him. I know his name and some of his antics, but that%26#039;s about it. I don%26#039;t think I%26#039;d vote for him. He%26#039;s not very appealing and I%26#039;m not sure he takes everyone%26#039;s interest to heart.|||he ran as a con, cons aint to bright, you gotta be for war and killing and such, shoulda been himself and ran as a libertarian|||Libertarian ideals are hard for some to grasp.. We have strayed so far from constitutional government that it seems kooky to most of the Joe lunchbox crowd..

Its going to be damn hard to undo 96 years of socialism.|||Yes.But the brainwashing process has gone on for several decades,so it didn%26#039;t surprise me. http://www.constitution.org/pub/swinton_... http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/

The Bitter Root of Things?

Some are defending Obama%26#039;s remarks about the bitter. Some are angry. Some are not.

What I would like to see is a Politician that says what he means, and means what he says.

When I hear %26quot;What I really meant...%26quot; I think %26#039;he is insulting our intellience. He said %26#039;bitter%26#039;. Didn%26#039;t he mean %26#039;bitter%26#039;?

There are more important issues at stake here, and %26#039;bitter%26#039; is way down on the list...way down. Obama is part of the Government. If he felt this way, why didn%26#039;t he do something sooner? Where%26#039;s the %26#039;Change%26#039; here? The %26#039;Unity%26#039;?

Let%26#039;s discuss what to do about the Economy NOW. Let%26#039;s discuss how to responsibly remove troops from Iraq. Let%26#039;s discuss Student Loans or the deficit, or the unemployment rate, or The Second Amendment... Americans have every right to be bitter about everything, and Obama has done nothing but vote %26#039;Present%26#039;... non-committal Obama.

The Bitter Root of Things?student loan

He is an orator. He can talk and that%26#039;s about it.

The Bitter Root of Things? loan

I agree with him, people are bitter. In places like PA and OH where tens of thousands of jobs have been lost, and although promises have been made to replace those jobs, nothing has happened... I know that would make me bitter... That is the point he was making... What did you think he was trying to say? What kills me is all of the spin doctoring that is going on...|||You just a rambling, mouth-piece against Obama simply because he%26#039;s Black. I bet if he was full White and said that, you would be jumping around like you saw Elvis Presley or some White icon.

______________________________________...

Here%26#039;s something to feast your feeble mind on....

A poll was conducted on the comments Obama made and the result:

56% believes he wasn%26#039;t being an Elitist or Condensending in his remarks.

44% believes he was.

So, majority of America don%26#039;t believe Obama was being an Elitist like McCain and Hillary faslely accussed him.

Obama 08!!|||Good for you for pointing this out- I love how Obama supporters think because they are justifying exactly what he stated, you can%26#039;t get around that- period! And for the record, it%26#039;s not just PA, OH... the whole country! He hasn%26#039;t a clue to the self damage he has done and cannot save face- he is his own worst enemy who is inciting all this hostility to begin a rebellion- no one wishes to discuss it, that%26#039;s the problem because they get DEFENSIVE!- classic example are the statements above this one!- can we say double standard slinging- what we should be doing is questioning his campaign manager- David Axelrod! He%26#039;s the spinmaster- Obama supporters have it ***-backwards! That%26#039;s hypocritical and to stand by and place a blame on the opposing party to confront, is just bashing all the same- stop with bag over the head syndrome!|||He cannot do that. Neither can Hillary. Further, the debates that are coming at us are rather stupid showcases because they do NOT allowed just exactly what you would like to see.. and would I.

We need one Candidate in a group of circling sharks called news reporters. Just in case the cooperate office has told them to NOT speak of such things as Iraq and the illegal aliens, we need to open it up to the people.

You know.. it won%26#039;t happen though. We need, and badly, the national ballot initiative and then... make that the circumstance the candidates must face.

Don%26#039;t you think you should actually work on your homework, rather then having someone who you don%26#039;t know and don%26#039;t know their capabilities do your homework?

Seems to me, that part of finishing school is about doing the actual work and showing a potential employer that you have a basic understanding of core subjects and that you have the initiative to do the required work.

Just my thoughts.

The answer is D. I studied in Berlin last fall and that was actually part of what we learned.

B is arguably the most noticable effect as Kreuzberg (which had previously been split became the physical center of the city and people began travelling through.

The prices of oil, gasoline, and other petroleum products, which are key inputs in production, have been decreasing in recent months. Other things being equal, which of the following is likely to occur in the U.S. economy as a result of the decline in oil prices?

(a) An increase in the unemployment rate.

(b) A decrease in both equilibrium price level and equilibrium real GDP.

(c) A decrease in the equilibrium price level and an increase in equilibrium real GDP.

(d) An increase in both equilibrium price level and equilibrium real GDP.

But to your question, I%26#039;d guess that (c) is the most likely - price levels will come down, and GDP will more than likely see some stimulation, and will increase, due to lower price of inputs.

Can you explain how amnesty for illegal immigrants will benefit our country or stop future illegal i

Amnesty was given in 1984 or %26#039;85. The (then) INS expected and used the number of 650,000 - 700,000 applicants for amnesty to get approval for it.

They received over 6.5 million requests for amnesty!

Our government is talking about bypassing the laws again in another illegal %26#039;amnesty%26#039; because the estimates are that we have 7-12 million illegals again in our country!

Is this not like allowing thieves that steal cars the free and legal title to the vehicle, if they are able to keep the car long enough and never got caught for the crime?

How can rewarding the criminal with exactly what they wanted to get THROUGH their illegal act, deter others from commiting the very same crime?

It seems to me that this would only serve to MOTIVATE others to commit crimes.

The amount of illegals that received amnesty in the early 80%26#039;s was almost EXACTLY equal to unemployment rate of that time. Coincidence?

With companies sending American jobs to Mexico, how can we allow them to take what remains?

Can you explain how amnesty for illegal immigrants will benefit our country or stop future illegal immigrationstudent loan consolidation

NO!!

Amnesty will only encourage future illegal immigration. THink.. If those people see that we give amnesty to illegals, then they too will think they can come here and get amnesty in the future as well. Your stealing a car example is dead on. Amnesty is no better then releasing all prisoners because they have been in there for a long time.

Amnesty did NOT work THEN,and it will NOT work NOW!!! All amnesty does,is ENCOURAGE more ILLEGALS to come here!!! All illegals should be DEPORTED, not REWARDED!!!!!|||No one can explain how amnesty can benefit our country because it cant.|||LEGAL Immigration = Good

ILLEGAL Immigration = Bad

Anyone who thinks Amnesty for illegal aliens (they are not even illegal immigrants, by the way) is a good idea, needs to read this three times.|||Amnesty will never benefit the nation. It has already been proven and so why the government would even think of doing this again is beyond me!|||The last time amnesty was issued was to garnish votes. This time, it%26#039;s to collect taxes.

Will this prevent illegal immigration? No, of course not.

Unemployment and amnesty are not related. Look and see how the unemployment data is collected. It doesn%26#039;t include those people.

Maybe you should start looking at what American employers are doing. If they didn%26#039;t hire illegals, they would think twice about coming.
