LMAO !!!!!
I'd say he was snubbed big time. The leaders didn't even look at him. Buh bye Mr. Bush.
Bush put trillions of dollars on the supply side, even after the stock market bubble was telling us that there was too much over there already. The global economy doesn't get better unless those trillions are put back. I'm talking about around five trillion maybe more. Any stimulus less than a trillion is simply not serious.
I don't think the stimulous will be on that kind of scale. So I predict, we are headed into a global economic melt down that makes the Great Depression look like paradise.
I am still mystified that anyone ever fell for this shithead.
How can people be so blind, it has always been so obvious that Bush is a failure.
I'm pissy today and may bite someone! LIE ber man does it to me!
Sydney - Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd received a frosty welcome from US President George W Bush when he arrived for the White House dinner that opened the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Washington, news reports said Saturday.
While other leaders of the world's top 20 developed and emerging economies received smiles and backslaps, Rudd earned a perfunctory handshake and a stony glare, Australia's AAP news agency reported.
Rudd raised Bush's ire by telling dinner guests after taking a call from Bush on October 20 that the leader of the free world had asked him, 'What's the G20?'
A dinner guest at the prime minister's Sydney residence leaked the slur to the press. It was published locally and then taken up by US newspapers.

you gotta be effing kidding me, RIGHT?
he'll look good to me when on trial at the Hague for his war crimes.
The bottom line to all of this also got missed by most and the MSM haven't spoken about it. Trial baloons have been sent up for the last three months. Now china has become more vocal. They are going to convert a significant part of their US dollar holdings into gold and I have been saying this here for over a year now. The wolrd is going to revert to the goldstandard. Real assetts backing every currency around the world with all countries devaluing their currencies by at least 20%. It's coming just as sure as the sun os going to rise tomorrow. No wonder it's nearly impossible to find any physical gold and silver and the US mint has stopped making silver an gold eagles for purchase saying that demand has outstripped supply.
If things weren't bad enough, I was just watching the 10pm news and the governors of NY, CT and NJ are asking for 48 million in emergency Federal funds so that those losing their jobs at their financial firms on Wall Street can receive a one time $12,500 cash paymnet on top of unemployment insurance. Maybe I should have kept my Wall Street job waiting for this day to come. Just amazing that these people have the balls to ask for this. Let them live on their previous years bonuses. Welcome to bizarro world.
Off topic (sort of), I have a question:
Does anyone else think Bush is railing the cocaine again?
Has anyone seen his last few speaking appearances? He's doing the full-blown jaw-twitch thing again, and looks spaced out of his gord.
Go try to find video of the Medal Of Freedom ceremony (or something similar, not sure exactly what is was) from a few days ago. Watch it and tell me that isn't a person who just did a load of cocaine - watch the jaw.
Watch how much respect and deference Obama gets at the summit next year.
1. Bush issued in 2005 a ban against the President of Spain, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero) for pulling out of Iraq, even though Spanish troops still remain fighting and taking casualties in Afghanistan.
2. When the G20 meeting was first being put together, Bush tried unsuccessfully to ban President Zapatero from attending, even though Spain is the 10th economic power in the world.
and more that I have no time nor patience to write.
I join others though in lamenting why the world leaders did not do this four years ago.
next wish: Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rice etc to the International Crime Tribunal in the Hague.
Cross your finguers!
P
and Frebreeze to get that Boosh stink out of their
new house..
I'll sent them a package of each as a show of goodwill.
no eye contact - the shrub was probably shitting
himself that he'd get smacked and end up in a
glass cage (ala Adolf Eichmann) on trial at the
Hague - which is, of course what would happen
in a just world.
Let's also hope there are some plans to make sure he doesn't push the red button as his final fratboy-punk revenge on the nation and world. Obama is supposedly powerless until January 20th and that is a very serious flaw in our government given that Bush is probably also massively crimnally insane.
pretzel in the tub!!
Don't forget the malice and vileness when he met with mothers of soldiers that were killed, his smirking and then giving them gold Bush dollars essentially saying it was worth more than the lives of their loved ones. If there was anything more despicable that he did, I can't imagine it. If they ever get around to executing him, Cindy Sheehan has earned the right of having the pleasure of pulling the lever though I understand there was one family that lost three brothers. I hate that evil, smirking, sneering man.
The contempt must be overwhelming. Either that, or he's a germophobe (which I think he is, is which I believe is something that happens to heavy substance abusers late in life).
Oh yeah, the filthy diseased disgusting germ thinks others are too dirty for him to touch. Yeah, if figures.
Invisible Bush, Shunned Bush.
And a portrait of G20-ites awaiting President Obama.
I remember when Nixon bought a town house in NYC and never moved in, because there were protesters out in front every damn day. If only Texas would extradite Bush to Connecticut!
