Bush gets OWNED

[Crossroads Inc.]

At a town hall meeting today, a man stood up, and calmly, proudly, and with great purpose said this:

Taylor: Okay, I don't have a question. What I wanted to say to you is that in my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, nor more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency, by the Senate...And I would hope -- I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration, and I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself inside yourself...

Perhaps the most damning part of this was how Bush simply fell apart. He stuterd, stamored and bluberbd for almost a minut before giving a ver canned response about defending America.

[Master of Ossus]

The guy literally cannot sustain criticism. It's simply astounding: any leader with anywhere NEAR that much power will accumulate enemies and critics, so it's mind-blowing that he would be this unprepared for it--particularly given his nearly unprecedented skills at generating persistent outrage.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Here is what gets me,

Watch Bushs Face, watch him smile, watch him joke, watch him laugh. Not for one moment does he treat this man with either an ounce of respect no does he take anything he says seriously. Watch how the crowd roars with laughter at Bush trying to joke away things with a "Ok, Im not your favorite guy, get to the point." and then how the crowd boos as soon as he mentions the word "Ashamed"

[Surlethe]

At times, I almost feel sorry for Bush. It must be terrible to go through life without second-guessing yourself or feeling guilty about any of your actions, and then, for a brief, horrifying moment, have to face all of the criticisms and mistakes, all at once.

[Darth Wong]

I expect a White House memo detailing more rules for "screening" questioners at future events.

Actually, I thought he whethered the guy's criticism fairly well. Instead of letting him speak uninterrupted, Bush trivialized his complaints to "I'm not your favorite guy" and immediately gave a response to the NSA wire-tapping comment. Granted, Bush was lying in that response when he said that the program was "being reviewed constantly" (as if that's how he wanted it all along), since Congress had to pull teeth to get even that much out of him, and he was pissed when people found out about it and started demanding some sort of judicial or Congressional review at the very least.

He may have stammered a bit with the response, and he certainly was no Bill Clinton, but he did an okay job of it.

[Crossroads Inc.]

I'm not too sure about the "Standing up well" bit... I hounestly think under those smirks Bush was seething inside. He lives his life in great walls, with no reproach, no comments, no critsim. Nothing but yesmen who tell him the world is a fun place and nothing bad is happening.

I truely believe, without his handelers, If something like this began to happen often, Bush would snap and actually lunge forward and punch a guy like this. I know you might laugh at that, but watch the video again and think about.

[Darth Wong]

The big difference between Clinton and Bush was that Clinton could make you believe he actually cared about the little people. Bush walks through life with a permanent smirk on his face: the smirk of a smug, self-satisfied rich boy who has never been held accountable for his own mistakes in his entire life, and for whom here are two worlds: his gilded world and the world outside which is quite simply beneath him and his kind.

Personally, Crossroads, i doubt it. I think people are looking at Bush the wrong way. I dont mean that he's not an incompetent retard criminally stupid little shit. I mean i think people are overestimating how much he actually cares about this.

Thats why he ran like a billion buisnesses into the ground, thats why he's failed at practically everything he's ever done, including his presidency. He doesnt give a fuck. He couldnt care less what this guy says, he's probably pissed the guy is 'harshing his buzz' but Bush is a typical slacker, stoner kind of guy. If he wasnt teh son of an ex-president and 'expected' to do something with his life, he'd probably still be living with his mom, sitting on the couch, smoking pot and watching Spike TV till his foozeball match came up.

He's a mindless, insipid slacker and its only by the grace of some God of Irony who is laughing hard and long at us now, that he is president. That and the fact his father is both rich and famous. Other than that, i see little difference between Bush and, say, the guy from American Pie Stiffler. He's a slacker and a boob who only gets angry if someone is 'hashing' him and wont 'lay off'.

I'm dead serious, i used to think he was a greedy, self-absorbed monster but now, i really truly doubt he even is aware of the enormity of the shit he's done. He really, really just doesnt care and doesnt get it.

[Patrick Degan]

Clearly there will have to be a full-court investigation of this monumental security breach. A man with a fully-armed mind of his own managed somehow to get dangerously close to the man some call "president".

[Darth Raptor]

My current hypothesis is that Bush was appointed by the [insert Illuminati-esque cabal] in order to see just how much shit one can get away with. He's a human simulant, the ultimate government stress test.

I guess I'm just stunned at how awkward he seems, given that I would expect it to happen all the time. You figure a guy like Bush has been trained to handle things like this since they were in college at the latest, and that's the result?

That's what mystifies me and I know I've brought it up in another thread about Bush. How does a person manage to get through freakin' Yale and still talk like that? He didn't go to a community college, he went to one of the best universities in the country, where they have a reputation for turning out well spoken individuals. I'd be shocked if he wasn't required to pass a least one public speaking course in order to get out, particularly if he was a business major. Moreover, how has he been president for 6 years and not had a speech coach ring the country fried out of him. Public speaking is alot of what a President actually does, after all.

What was Bush doing between his time at Yale and his run at Prez?

If he'd spent most of his time in a place where Prez-level speaking isn't commonplace, he could have simply lost any Yale speaking habits.

Or he's refusing to learn proper pronunciation because it helps him keep an everyman image that Bob Citizen can relate to.

Again this reinforces my opinion...

Bush is a know-nothing slacker, little better than the never-leave-homeboys who never even GET to college. He passed Yale because, most likely, his father paid them out the ass.

His father has been propping up this insipid man-child since his teens it seems. Daddy Bush just cant seem to accept their son is a dimwit. So they surround him with good 'advisors' (read: people who do hsi work for him) and prop him up.

In reality he is just an intellectually stunted, possibly 'slow' in fact, boob who if he wasnt the son of millionaires would still be living at home in his mom's basement watching tapes of He-Man and playing his PS2 with some of his cokehead friends from high school, lighting farts and discussing the 'beauty' of his hand when he gets high.

I'm imagining his nickname from HS now, you know what his 'boys' called him when they needed to bum a cig or some coke off him..."Bushman!" "Bushy!" "Bushmeister Fuller!"

Why bother with that when you can have goons arrest them?

[Duckie]

Jesus, he can't take criticism at all. Look at how he jerks around and paces every second that even the most minor of the things he has fucked up on are done.

Pretty much. Though the way I always put it is thus:

Both Clinton and Bush are going to fuck you, but while Bush is going to tell you to get your clothes and get the fuck out afterwards, Clinton will give you a kiss on the lips and convince you that you're the best he ever had.

Every politician fucks you. All you really get to choose is the booze they bring, and how much lube.

Son, sit down and let me regail you with stories about the utter fucktards I've met that have come out of Yale and Harvard. Those schools have been sitting on their laurels for generations.

Frankly when I look at a resume and see Yale or Harvard that's a strike against the candidate due to my experiences with what comes out of those schools. I'll take a CUNY grad over a Harvard/Yale grad any day of the week. One thing noteably missing from these ivy league kids is work ethic. There is a definite sense of entitlement from many of them and they always find ways of inserting their alma mater in any conversation.

So when you see someone say they are a Harvard/Yale/ and to a much lesser extent - Princeton grad keep that in mind.

And Bush was a solid C student and a legacy student (meaning he got in because his daddy went there) so that's another strike against him. Look into those vacant eyes and tell me what you see.

[Darth Wong]

A C student in what faculty, anyway? I can't imagine he took something that required real ability.

[Itô Doeblin]

According to the White House, he has a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Yale, and a Master in Business Administration from Harvard.

Oh, and after that he "began a career in the energy business." Apparently, he was so successful they couldn't cite a single milestone in his business career. It just wouldn't have done him justice.

Have a nice day,
Itô

He got a C average getting a fucking BA in History? Christ, what a moron.
