Bush was a uniter after all (Bush-hater mega-barf)
latimes.com ^ | January 15, 2009 | Rosa Brooks

Admit it -- you're gonna miss him.

No one exactly likes George W. Bush. No one's begging for a constitutional amendment that would let him serve another term. But isn't it hard to imagine life without him?

You know you're going to miss the guy who deplored the fact that "too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

You know you'll miss the president who declared: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

You know you'll miss the man who showed his empathy by remarking, "You're working hard to put food on your family."

After W, who are we going to laugh at?

‘After W, who are we going to laugh at?’

Hmmmm. Well, we have Rosa Brooks and Gail Collins for starters, then Mo Dowd, David Brooks, MSNBC in general...the list is pretty long.

No worries in short.

I’m sure I’ll miss the guy who had to have an interviewer remind him he’s not a Muslim when HE leaves office. ;)

The people who are telling us that America, now that they fully control 2 of the 3 branches of the federal government (and the 3rds a push), longs to set aside the partisan rancor of the past and engage in a new spirit of cooperation cannot to this day bring themselves to do the same where Bush is concerned.

F em.

Why reporters like you, Rosa, as you sport your Obama model Nina Burleighs and swoon at brilliant gems from Chairman Hussein such as, "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."

Somebody on the comment thread of the LA Slimes story posted this link to the UK Telegraph story called "History will show that George W Bush was right"

It's worth the time to read it.

These verbal fox pas would be fair game, if the press would be honest about the fact that the Democrats make the same mistakes. When Obambi blows it, they cover for the guy. I don’t really find it all that interesting that Bush is caught making verbal blunders. So are other people. We just don’t see that footage.

Yeah, Americans from all 57 states will miss all the dumb things Pres. Bush has said.

Even the fallen heroes that I see in this room will miss him.

“No one actually likes George Bush”...

This sounds very reminiscent of the idiot reporter in New York City that lamented that she did not know how Richard Nixon won the election over Geroge McGovern, because no one she knew voted for Nixon.

Is that all you've got? Don't make me laugh. Not one thing substantive about this "Op-Ed" piece (of _ _ _ _ ).

He leaves behind a united nation, brought together at last by a heartfelt desire to see him gone.

The empty suit Obambi has united the likes of Rosa, a leftist educated beyond her intelligence with the ignorant who think they'll no longer be making house and credit card payments, they all have surprises coming.

I am going to laugh at that big eared, marxist muzzie that the press selected as the next President of the US... then I will laugh when the creditors chain the front door shut of the building in which your POS paper resides... then I will laugh more when you never get the checks that hussein promised to you... and I will laugh when America returns to it's senses and throws out the party of the msm. I will laugh last and LOUDIST!

On 9/12/01, what do you think the odds were that there wouldn’t be another American killed on the American homeland for the remaining duration of President Bush’s term?

It was off the boards; nobody would believe that such a thing was possible. It was inconceivable given the rising unrestrained attacks by terrorists all over the world — in planes, ships, railcars, workplaces, athletic competitions, shopping malls — with no firm response and resolve to end it with finality.

That’s the legacy of President George W. Bush.

After the world came to a complete halt and cessation of all activity, this economy and the world went on to recover to unprecedented levels of affluence and economic activity, as recorded by the Dow and other indicators — and the perennial blamers, whiner and complainers now can only focus on blaming the President that we have fallen off from those all time highs as a lack of any achievement.

We truly hope every succeeding president can do as well.

I wonder what combination of anger and arrogance motivates these people?
