Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

If George Bush had ................

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 Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair's UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair 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 approved?

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 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 triple 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.

If George W. Bush had mindlessly invaded and occupied Iraq and lied to the American public and congress about his reasons while never bothering to pursue the perpetrators of 9-11 would you have approved?
oh wait- he did, didn't he...
well, that fact alone makes the man unforgivably moronic in my book.

Would that make Obama equally moronic for continuing the same policies as the Bush Administration?

So, according to YOUR "standard" the rest of the world (including the beloved party leaders including the current clinton and her husband) is also moronic? Or is it just Bush?


Is this a "double standard" situation...please clarify so I'll know who to "thank" and who to villify...

Mindlessly? He acted on a resolution of regime change signed by Clinton.

Mindlessly? Produce your sheepskin form Yale.

Mindless? Really now. Our military leaders are mindless?

He didn't lie about his reasons, you just don't agree with them.

Quote:

You mean like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who provided us with information on other planned attacks while being detained in GITMO? That perpetrator of 9/11? Or do you want the diabetic hiding in the mountains of Pakistan/Afghanistan, incapable of leading anyone, who may or may not already be dead?

And you're entitled to that opinion. But I hope you enjoy your new tax rates.

Sure I do. Had GB said the EXACT same thing the media would still be going on about it. But that isnt what happened, is it? The media simply let
it go as a slip of the tongue.
It shows the bias of the media. Plain and simple.
