DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Bush approves tranistion planning. It's almost over.

  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    You can bet he will leave the Oval Office get on the helicopter, go to the airport and then fly to his walled off compound in Paraguay where the long arm of the law will not be able to reach him.
  • JohnInTexas · 1 year ago
    Hopefully McPlanecrash will be flying his plane.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Yes, McPlanecrash wants us to let him steer our economy like he steered three Navy jets into the ground.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    I'm sure in Bush's little mind he is saying, "I'm almost there... almost destroyed the nation! Almost time to move on to my next project."
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    I read somewhere a while back that Bush was concerned about his legacy. He hoped history would be his judge of doing the right thing. I don't think Bush has to worry anymore, his "legacy" is 2 wars and a failing economy and history will judge him as the WORST president in the history of these United States.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    Now that is quite a legacy, isn't it?

    A library, think tank, and his little public policy institute at Southern Methodist University is where he will be at. Boy I hope you Methodists don't hitch your ride on this dumb ass... It will most certainly make you look like fools.....
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    I have a condo in Dallas with my partner not far from SMU and, believe me, most students and alumni DO NOT want his ignorant library. Its a joke. They have actually had protests about placing the library on their campus. Can you imagine? Protests AGAINST having a Presidential library on a college campus. Now that says something about what a failure he and the entire Bu$hco regime has been.

    I sincerely hope the OBAMA people can CLEAR ALL the BUGS from the White House. And I don't mean roaches and fleas.
  • Ed_S · 1 year ago
    Joe, while I am right there with you on condemning the Bush administration and the vast majority of our Republican elected officials, I hope you also recognize the complicit behavior of our democratic legislators as well in light of this financial crisis and our two never ending wars. I hope you use this forum as a soapbox for ALL corruption, whether its democratic or republican. That's what I expect from my fellow democrats and why I am proud to affiliate with that party.
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    YES,YES, YES!!!! Obama's first act should be to dump ried and pelosi to the curb. and anyone who has followed these two traitorous fools over the cliff.

    He can't wait to get the hell out of Dodge - and we can't wait for him to leave. He will be leaving a shell of a country struggling to regain it's footing in the smoldering rubble he's leaving behind. This is one mess Poppy couldn't get him out of. I'm sure Cheney's staff is busy destroying evidence as we speak. Our national nightmare will always have the name of George W. Bush attached to it - just like Hoover's name is forever synonymous with the Great Depression.
  • Ginger_FL · 1 year ago
    Can we have him Evicted Now ?????
  • Deacon_Blues · 1 year ago
    That actually happened in Tennessee in 1979. The uber-corrupt Democratic governor Ray Blanton was on his way out to make way for the newly elected Lamar Alexander (yes, THAT Lamar!) and he started pardoning folks left and right, apparently for money, so the legislature (both Dems & Reps) got together and discovered that there wasn't a set date for the new gov to be sworn in, so they went ahead and swore in Lamar before Blanton could do any more damage. I don't believe we have that option with Commander Bunnypants, though.
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    I'm sure you meant CONvicted, right??? ;)
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    John McCain knows how to fix our economy and run our country like he knew how to fly jets. Problem is, with his erratic judgment he CRASHED three of our multi-million dollars jets during his Viet Nam years.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    New McCain campaign trick in LaCross, Wisconsin. They are using black sheets and shoving all the people together with the black sheets on each side so you can't see how EMPTY the campaign hall or stadium is! bwah hahahaaa!

    NEW RULE:

    This NEW RULE must be announced at Bread Lines or Soup Lines

  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    McCain now on MSNBC talking about his "plan" to help people stay in their homes. Sounds like he is switching his strategy to talk about the economy.
  • lawdjayee · 1 year ago
    This is rank bs, an attempt by Bush to get a powerless incoming president to sign on to whatever ridiculous bullshit he wants to do until January, and to avoid (yet again) owning up to his many and varied failures and disasters. Hoover tried to do the same thing, and FDR had the good sense to tell him to get bent. Hopefully Pres.-Elect Obama will also.

  • winchester · 1 year ago
    Hallelujah!! Chimpy is going to have a legacy all right, that being the absolute worst president this country has ever had to endure. It’s seemed like an eternity, but at least the end is in sight.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    McCain back on the which candidate has more experience, who is ready to lead. Back on the fear factor, who can lead in times of uncertainty. He definitely has changed his talking points this morning.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    oh this is rich, McCain has said he will balance this budget by the end of his term. He expects he can balance the budget in four years, if he lives that long.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Someone needs to ask him about Social Security. What about Social Security? That is MONEY "We the People" have been counting on. He wants to steal it.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    Heck McCain can do it all.

    Remember, he KNOWS where Osama is right now (and will GET him), he KNOWS how to solve the Social Security crisis (after all he's known all along and it's EASY-who would have known!), he will do away with all of those pesky government expenses like Medicare and Medicaid, he can prove to us all that he knows how to correct all of these darn troubled debts that Bushie has run up when he expanded the government (and he will even make it bigger-that'll show them!) and he will solve all of our social ills just because he CAN.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    His actions remind me of (what was that word...geeez I can't remember...oh yes) ERRATIC behavior!

    Great and descriptive word for this old man.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    Erratic is a perfect word. McCain has changed his "plans" so much no one knows what the hell he is talking about. Obama has stayed steady in his outlook for this nation.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    I am so darn glad that the Democrats FINALLY got one of those words that the Republicans always have each election cycle. But the BEST part of this word is that it ACTUALLY applies to the candidate and his behavior!
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    The Secret Service has given John McCain the "come to Jesus" talk. They have toned down the "burn the Reichstag" speeches. His campaign has dropped a couple of levels of hate. It doesn't resembled a "Lynch the N*ggers!" hate rally this morning.
  • Kansaskitty · 1 year ago
    Lord, I hope so. Will be interesting to see what the crowd reax is when they are probably expecting a virgin to be sacrificed right before they are turned out on the streets with pitchforks and torches.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itEucdhf4Us

    Check out the above YouTube.

    It shows the fascist McCain - Palin - Bush supporters filing in and screaming hateful and violent stuff at Obama supporters. Just goes to show ya what kind of Nazis we are dealing with.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Someone needs to ask McCain about Social Security. Notice he doesn't EVER say he won't end Social Security as we know it. Republicans are DESPERATE to steal that money and apply it to the problems they have created, and use OUR Social Security to pay for more wars they want to start!

    McCain needs to be asked, "What do you intend to do with our Social Security?"

    McCain doesn't need social security because he has his cushy Government retirement and Cindy's beer money to retire on.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    Code word "entitlements". I believe he said in the debate that entitlements need to cut.,
  • therepguy · 1 year ago
    In fact, the other day in Florida of all places, his lead consultant on social security said in no uncertain terms that McCain would move too cut a trillion dollars from social security upon taking office!

    Needless to say that didn't go over well down there and your starting to see it in the polls.

    Not to mention the fact that AARP is hopping mad of late!
  • therepguy · 1 year ago
    Thaank god!

    I would rather see bush in Camp David or at his ranch for the next three weeks on forced leave ( which is ore or less his fate now) than having him running around try to help!

    He's done more than enought over the last 8 years... he needs his rest!

    Now how in hell can we keep him out of Texas?

    Obama should send him to Hatia or maybe NOLA for the next 8 years to enbrace provity and see how the other half lives!

    And if Diebold steals it and McCain is elected, we will long for the days of Bush/Cheney. Think for a second how amazing that is.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    The one thing I'm thankful about over the economic collapse is that "the people" will not stand for a theft or selection of President by the Supreme Court this time around. Republicans created the perfect storm for themselves. I believe they are going down.
  • therepguy · 1 year ago
    Should that happen there going to be blook in the streets... American will not stand for any more fascist republican crap!
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Cutting the size of government doesn't sound that good anymore to some to Senator McCain's supporters. They will need government when they need bread and soup!

    Does the Transition Paper mention anything about Bush's political asylum in Dubai?
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Watching the McCain rally and every time one of their brown shirts screams out something, they jump like they are hearing a firecracker! They are worried about the death threats coming back to their rallies. They are tanking because of them, and the Secret Service probably had a little talk with them. GOOD.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    It seems like something has happened because no Ayers mention but then we are not hearing the whole speech.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    It's about time the Secret Service talks to the McCain peeps about security AND about patriotism, which is something Johnnie boy is supposed to know a thing or two about.

    Oddly enough, he seems pretty DIM about such matters...
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    Said it before and say it again. Cindy McCain is like one of those bobbleheads you put on your dashboard or rear window. She never changes, stands behind McCain at every rally just bobbing her head up and down. God, she is one scary looking woman.
  • Polly_Tics · 1 year ago
    I do have one fear that has yet to happen and will hopefully be easily stored in my ever expanding "great fears that have NOT come to pass" drawer.

    This one has to do with declaring Martial Law if the economy tanks even lower than we have expected. If Bushie and his pal Dickie decide to declare Martial Law, the election will be suspended and their reign will continue.

    Can you imagine what MIGHT happen IF such a thing were to come to fruition?
    (shudder)
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    I don't think it will happen as long as Bu$hco thinks they can escape and keep from spending the rest of their miserable lives in prison.
  • kladinvt · 1 year ago
    I don't think you have to worry about that. Given Bush's history of destroying things and then walking away, leaving the mess for someone else to clean up, I would bet he can't wait to leave.
  • bjohnm · 1 year ago
    Polly, I have the same fear you have. There are a lot of skeletons in the cloests at the White House now, and they may not want someone else sniffing around. Dick Cheney just scares the bejesus out of me, and I just can't see him going quietly.

    Someone once postulated that Bush may already have signed pardons for all the neocons, Cheney, and even himself. They'll just meet the night before the innaguration, smoke a cigar and have a brandy and pass them out.

    If they don't do that, while I hate appearing to have on the tinfoil hat, I think anything is possible from this bunch.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    A little off topic but too good not too mention.

    Biden is fighting back. His response to Sarah Palin's second grade comment "the last time John McCain had a good idea Sarah Palin was in sixth grade"

    Some really good comments from Biden

  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Everyone open up those 401(k) plans and tell yourself, "This is what happens when you cut taxes during a time of war!"

    Problem is, folks, we STILL have a HUMONGOUS TRILLION dollar debt to China even as Bu$hco. has caused trillions to disappear. Had Bu$h raised taxes and asked for sacrifice, at least we wouldn't have the TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT for all his wars.

    Now, we have an economy in the toilet. We also have MORE DEBT than we can deal with because Republicans keep wanting to cut taxes on MILLIONAIRES.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    OH but John McCain just PROMISED he can bring this all under control by the end of his term if he is elected.

  • curlytoes79 · 1 year ago
    I wouldn't even celebrate Bush's exit from the White House if I thought McCain was on his way in. But I'm optimistic that the American people won't let that happen...not this time. We just might take this country back from the fascists and idiots. No more Bush! Free at last, free at last, God almighty...free at last!

    The Supreme Court SHOULD NOT be allowed to live down the shame of SELECTING him and allowing him to make the policy decisions that allowed him to steal office the second time. This is what happens when you allow Republicans to do their nastiest "win at all costs." Well, we are paying the CO$Ts NOW!
  • bluestockton · 1 year ago
    Chimpy and Darth should resign on November 5 and allow Obama and Biden to be sworn in and get to work immediately. Obama could still run for re-election in 2012 and serve out a second full term.

    I heard some economist say on NPR last night that the economy is tanking at the worst possible time because no one is in charge: Bush is a lamer-than-lame duck, and the new president isn't in office yet.

    Some facts:

    1 Bush administration started a war with Iraq because supposingly they had weapons of mass destruction.
    2 They never discover any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
    3 Bush administration spends a huge amount of tax payers money to support the war in Iraq and in Afganistan
    4 At the same time they did nothing to prevent the collapse of the economy although they had all the facts and numbers in their disposal and they new that if you give a 30 years mortgage loan to a 85 years old lady then this is a extremely high risk loan. This is what the banks did due to "free economy"
    5 I rest my case
