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.

Thank you!!! Honestly! I'm scared for this country and was really upset when Obama was brought in as President. He's an idiot and it gives me hope that there are people that agree with me.

What if Bush hadn't sent in a hunter killer team to arrest "Dog" Chapman on a bogus charge at Mexico's request, would I still view him as a .....................

For starters, he has his own personal army (acorn) that will ensure that the US will never see a free or fair election again - or for a long enough time.

Until someone does something about ACORN - we're all talk and no action...

You hit the nail on the head, but what can be done?
Congress will do nothing now because democrats are in control and the ones that are profiting from ACORN

*I hope I’m posting this to the board, if not - sorry!*

What if George Bush had to be prodded to same something supportive of Iranian protesters fighting for freedom?

What if - after still not taking a strong stance on Iranian human rights - Bush went to a correspondents’ dinner (7/19/09) and made jokes while those Iranian protesters were being attacked for protesting?

What if Bush, after refusing to “meddle” with Iranians (meanwhile, they’re getting slaughtered, axed, hanged...), immediately meddled in Honduras? But Hondurans want him to butt out because they ousted Zelaya out through their judicial process.

Would Democrats stay silent?
