Putting things into perspective: What If George W. Bush had ...
Unattributed | July 1, 2009

Posted on 07/01/2009 3:52:20 PM PDT by Zakeet

What If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the Fifth of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potato as “proof” of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he is inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 10 weeks -- so you'll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

Dear Freepers,

Tonight I reflected back on the past few months, and I felt an overwhelming need to post something like this.

If there were no Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, how many would even be aware of any of these things?

All President Bush had to do was to declare himself a Democrat and he would have INSTANTLY been declared the greatest ever!

- and what if Laura Bush dressed like our current First Lady? The snickering and high brow articles in regard to poor taste in clothing and behavior would be endless.

What if the MSM did half the investigation of Baraq in 24 months that they did on Joe the Plumber in 24 hours?

What if G.W. Bush's Administration's first year had been nothing but tryouts for what would have been the largest theatrical production in the history of man?

Didn't happen then, but now?

Audition Notice. Location: White House.

Production: Barack Obama, President for Life

The President needs talented, convincing and loyal media employees for the grandest production of all: Barack Obama, President for Life. Opening day, on or before 2016.

Cast (roles): professional, accomplished journalists. Journalism experience preferred. Note: the auditions will be in a live environment, actual presidential press conferences -- serious candidates only!

Monologues will be presidential news conference questions. The script will be provided. Candidates will be permitted to read the questions. No memorization required.

Also, auditions soon for 1) corporation CEOs (must be actual corporate CEO) for White House economy meetings; 2) town hall participants . . . .

Even if he did, his haters (left and right) would have been just as loud.

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Oh, dear...
