Oy.  No Australian politico would ever go to the US for medical treatment.  We adopted the kind of health care you guys are aguing over 20 years ago.  We have better outcomes at 1/3 the cost. Obama is trying, like Clinton before him, to just catch up with the rest of the developed world. Hey Bushies, he's making fun of you.  It's called irony.  Look it up. In the dic-tion-ary.

Bush had such good Swartzeneggeresque one liners as well. 

¨We´ll smoke em out of their holes¨

¨Freedoms on the march¨

¨Terrorists hate us for our freedom¨

¨We won´t cut and run¨

¨We´ll find Osama, dead or alive¨

I miss him too.

I miss the mismanagement of the Iraq war.

I miss letting Osama slip through our hands at Tora Bora.

I miss him reading "My little Goat" while America is being attacked (Nero fiddles while Rome burns).

I miss a couple more katrinas.

I miss what would have happen to the economy had he stayed in charge.

I miss the gobble gook our President speaks instead of grammar.

I miss our President being the laughing stock of the world despite our military might.

I miss holding on tight to my gun barrel while declaring my nationality in any foreign country.

I miss the education.  No one made me realize the values of this country more than Dubya by his administration's abuse and indifference to those values.

I miss the sense of the need for change.  Nothing spells change like "Dubya". 

I miss the laughs!  Dubya was such a clown and idiot.

I miss the humility.  Dubya made the world realize, even its greatest nation has really bad times and leaders.

I miss seeing the far right humbled.  Not even they were proud of Dubya.

I miss the simpler times when we didn't have to think about the real applications and meanings of freedom, rights, fairness, environmental impacts, equity and the future.  Dubya didn't.  Democracy in the modern world is so difficult when we actually have to think about how complex it is.

This is what happens when you let idiots blog. Liberals are in pursuit of their "Utopia", and will destroy America try to obtain it.

---wow!--let me say for one i am not a supporter of obama or the democrats--neither am i a supporter of the republicans---i am one of those "screwball" independents you have always heard about---let us take this line by line shall we?--"you miss the silence"--the bully pulpit is there for a reason---are you saying ronald reagan was silent?--he was the "great communicator"--"the teflon president"---he was an actor and knew how to handle fame and convey ideas--his virtues are extolled today--george bush was inarticulate to say the least--and his advisors after a time probably told him to say as little as possible---he was unable to inspire and reassure as so many had done in the office before him--and the country was at a disadvantage because he had none of these skills, at a very important time in our history--he could not rally the public---"you miss the honesty"---he was very dishonest like all politicians on the right and left. don't believe me? look at this: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f79_1256620894

--it's evidence, just in case you think i'm making this up----asking for $80 billion is pocket change---according to estmates by people like economist joseph stiglitz the price tag for iraq alone might top 2 trillion---we spend about 600 billion on the pentagon a year in comparison to russia, china, and germany that spend in the neighborhood of that $80 billion yearly--and for what? trying to smash ant hills with sledgehammers? or maybe to keep the defense contractors in business, like halliburton?--and by the way sir, i am not some hippie--i am a navy veteran------the olympics? don't be too hard on barak, if you want to blame someone for the debacle, try the USOC. they have been overly commercial and uncooperative with the IOC--they bungled this because it's a bunch of political appointees and know little about the sports they are supposed to advocate--in short, they are incompetent-----the nobel?--i can see points in all the arguments---it is undeniable this was a political dig against the republicans and bush--and it just may be that they were trying to help america get up off the mat---just saying that obama didn't deserve it is too simple an analysis------patriotism?--how patriotic was this whole country after those planes crashed into those buildings?---how much psychological damage do you think the bush administration did to the populace after he mishandled the "little things"---my god! the economy and foreign policy are not little!---the man was more than an ideological fool, he was an embarrassment---health care?----we as a country should be dealing with a new economic reality and slashing the federal budget--this should be job one--the multi-trillion dollar debt threatens our currency with collapse--nothing backs up our currency except the full faith and credit of the united states government--that boils down to your credit and mine and millions like us, hows it doin'?---we can figure out the problems and the spending after that----it is worrysome for me how many americans do not understand the political situaton--both parties have been using the constitution as a door mat for decades--and we want to talk about liberal and conservative--the people in power manipulate us with this because as long as we argue, we are distracted, and they are free to carry on with their malfeasance---what makes you think we are ever going to have small government as long as it costs millions of dollars to campaign? it is not in the corporations interest to have small government---eisenhower's farewell speech is worth looking up--he warned about the military/industrial complex---they are the ones in power now, and undermining our constitutional political clout---and who did i vote for?--his name is RON PAUL-

George Bush was like the retarded brother that your mother and father couldn’t take care of, so they sent him to the dumb factory where people with small brains are forced to live their days without any real improvement. Sure, you didn’t like the little buggar eating your legos, but every now and again, when the moon is right and the right song plays on the radio, you miss the little creep crumbling up to the table and mumbling something stupid as he tried to sound like an adult. Poor evil oil-sucker.
