I got this in an email and thought I'd put it here for input from Barry O supporters:
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 inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
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 in 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 5th 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 mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe 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 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 created the position 32 or more Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , 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 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?
If George W. Bush had spent more than all the Presidents combined since George Washington, 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 months -- so you'll have 3 years and 2 months to come up with an answer.

Your First Amendment right to free speech is a privilege and comes with a measure of responsibility. You have the right to exercise that responsibility here but we reserve the right to inform you when you've used that right irresponsibly.
We are benevolent dictators in this regard. Enjoy.

Allow me to answer for our Liberal friends.
ReplyDeleteIf George W Bush had done any of those things, it would have proved that he is stupid, incompetent, and a colossal liar.
When Obama does them, the rules change. Everything he does or says is pure brilliance.
If you don't believe that, just ask Obama.
Whether Obama supporters approve or not doesn't matter. They are told what to believe. The last thing the Democrat party wants is a constituency that remembers history and can form their own opinions based on their own experiences.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama does not use a teleprompter for news conferences except to deliver a prepared statement. Bush also used a teleprompter for prepared addresses.
ReplyDeleteObama did not spend 100s of thousands of dollars for his date. It was 10s of thousands. Bush took trips to Crawford every few weeks.
I suppose the GM stockholders could have just taken a 100% reduction if GM just went under.
If Bush had immediately apologized as Obama did, nobody would have thought anything more about it.
I'm sure Brown enjoyed the leather bomber jacket Bush gave him so much more than the movies.
The iPOD for the queen did not contain Obama speeches. It contained video footage and pictures of her 2007 trip to the US and he also gave her a rare songbook autographed by Richard Rodgers.
George Bush held hands with the Saudi King.
Obama will never equal the verbal flubs of George Bush.
Obama had nothing to do with the Air Force 1 fly over.
Obama has not create "32 or more Czars who report directly to him". Almost all of these positions existed under the Bush administration and are NOT direct reports to the president. There is nothing different here in the Obama administration from the Bush administration except that the ignorant fall for the Malkin-Hannity-Beck bullshit.
I'm not sure that you can prove that Obama actually fired any CEO, but I'm pretty sure the government can dictate the terms of a multi-billion dollar bailout.
National Debt January 19: $10.6T
National Debt November 14: $12.0T
Not exactly double if my math is correct.
The projected national debt since Obama took office is lower than the projected national debt had Bush's policies continued with no changes.
