Bush says he didn't compromise soul to be popular
WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush knows he's unpopular.
“What do you expect? We've got a major economic problem and I'm the president during the major economic problem.

Duh, and why do you think that we have this mess on your watch?

“I mean, do people approve of the economy? No. I don't approve of the economy. ... I've been a wartime president. (only because you started it, bonehead) I've dealt with two economic recessions now. I've had, hell, a lot of serious challenges. (such as trying to complete a sentence without using made up words) What matters to me is I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy." No, you sold your soul for big oil profits for yourself and your backers.

"But I'm not going to let this economy crater in order to preserve the free market system. So we made a lot of very strong moves and it's been painful for a lot of people, particularly because, you know, this — the excesses of the past have caused a lot of folks to hurt when it comes to, like, their 401(k)'s or, you know, their jobs.”

Bush said. "Obviously anytime anybody allegedly betrays the public trust there's got to be great concern because, you know, democracy really is, you know, really rests on the trust of the people. It's a system of people and by people and for people. And, therefore, the public trust is important."

So let me get this straight? You don’t care that you have the lowest approval rating of any president in history, and yet you say that public trust is important? Can you say oxymoron with a capital M? Careful, don’t hurt yourself.

Public Trust, that’s a good one from a guy who said, ‘Iraq is like, you know, a major threat, like, you know, they’re going to kill us with weapons of mass destruction and stuff.’ Which they did not have. And don’t tell us that the Iraqi people needed to be saved from their terrible leader. How come we aren’t in Africa saving those little countries we could easily crush, you know, the ones fighting with sticks and rocks, trying to get out from under their terrible leaders? Oh, yeah, that’s right, they don’t have anything valuable for us to loot, so why bother? Anyone with half a brain knows that taking over Iraq was not about protecting ourselves from any enemy. It was about the greed of a few who wanted oil, and Iraq was the weakest, most easily taken target. Like, you know, you big Bully, forget the shoes, what about a trial for war crimes?

Okay, sorry for the rant. Most people who know me are aware that I’m hardly political. In fact, we were once making a passage during presidential elections. When we made landfall, our first question was, ‘so, who’s the president of this here country anyway? (Answer-Clinton) The only time in my life that I registered to vote was when I saw that shrub’s face on TV. I heard him speak one sentence and said “not that guy”. I registered and voted, my candidate won, but that shrubbery ended up being president anyway. All I got out of it was jury duty. A lesson in democracy, where your vote counts for???

But hey, we’re back on track now, because Obama’s going to save the world, isn’t he?
