If we think it’s bad now, just wait until Israel has to bunker bomb Iran’s nuke sites because Odungo won’t take phone calls from BB because he’s too busy easing sanctions on Iran’s nuclear sites.
George H. Bush had a second term from 1993-1997? Wow, I don't seem to remember that one. Can I get a copy of Clinton's concession speech?
Okay, I was in Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, so naturally I didn’t see any of the coverage on TV, newspapers and magazines. How in the world did it get twisted into President Bush being at fault?
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
>>died suddenly after the Hurricane Katrina debacle<<
I was thinking about Katrina. It was NEVER a “debacle.” What it WAS was allowing the MSM to write and dictate the narrative.
The response to Katrina was the best and most efficient movement of men and materiel in documented history.
But Bush had the unspoken “higher ground” policy (that was the REAL “Bush Doctrine”).
When he gave the “you’re doin’ a heck of job Brownie” press conference he should have been strong, specific and made it crystal clear that the Administration had been ahead of Katrina the whole time and that the MSM was creating disatsre out of whole cloth (even then they knew there were no rape ganfs in the Superdome nor potshots taken at helicopters).
Instead, he tried to brush it all off and make it light, with few specifics and, more importantly, NO EMPHASIS NOR STORY LINE!
That speech, more than any other, brought us the manmade disaster of obozo and its nation-killing spawn obozocare.
Bush should have been more forceful and defended his policies and actions. He gave the MSM rope and they hanged us all with it.
“the Hurricane Katrina debacle.”

I never understood why Katrina was all Bush’s fault, or what he could have done to make all the pain just blow away.
“What we’re also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy”
friggin idiot
" — the president’s credibility is shot, gone. His plan to revamp immigration? Dead. As is the rest of his legislative wish list. And we’ll have to see whether Hillary Rodham Clinton wants him anywhere near the campaign trail in 2016.
Funny, it was Mrs. Clinton’s husband who played a big role in the meltdown. Slick Willie, with an eye on his wife’s coming run, tossed out the idea that the president should — shocker — honor his commitment that “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” That gave fellow Democrats the cover to bail on the embattled president — and they did, in droves.
Twenty hours after Mr. Obama’s depressing presser, 39 Democrats joined Republicans to support the “Keep Your Health Plan Act of 2013.” And just like that, No. 44 became a lame duck, eviscerated and emasculated. The shutdown? Ancient history. The fractured Republican Party? Gone with the wind."
This is why we need single six-year terms for President. 2nd terms are always disastrous. In fact, after the Civil War, this was discussed, since in the Confederacy one can only serve six years.
Does anyone understand that if an obviously corrupt pResident is not impeached then no future pResident can ever be impeached regardless of his corruption, treason, or disregard for his Constituional oath? It will set an iron-clad precedent.
The difference is that the weeks of Katrina coverage were full of propaganda and full-on lies in order to take Bush down.
Obama's takedown was caused all by himself.
>> Clinton before him (whose second-term agenda was derailed by a stained little blue dress) <<
That’s a bald faced lie. There was nothing small about that dress.
” -—In a nutshell, he said sure, everything’s a mess, but he just didn’t know. -—”
Well, lemme see now - - - ?
Just how would an Impeachment trial weigh that candid admission of B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry soetoro?
1.) Dereliction of Duty;
2.) Gross incompetence;
3.) Ignorance of THE LAW, which any judge will tell you “Is No Excuse!”
it's worth noting that Bush had the media basically calling him Hitler/Satan/Racist, etc., on a daily basis, whereas Obama has had constant fawning praise from the media. And despite this, Zero's approval is still sinking.
>> CURL...
Gets me every time... /pun
Obama sounded like President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Comacho from the 2006 movie Idiocracy, who made a similar plea to a joint session of Congress:
"Sh&t. I know sh&t's bad right now, with all that starving bullsh&t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution."
As life imitates art, Obama imitates Comacho. Sadly, America also imitates Idiocracy.
