I am ashamed. I am ashamed of this President. Aren't you? After watching his press conference today, a sense of shame overtook me. I'm ashamed that he took to the podium today as if he emptied out a container of laughing gas. I'm ashamed of a President who has the temerity to laugh when asked a question about war. I'm ashamed of the wh*res of the fourth estate who care more about having the honor of being the butt of one of the President's jokes than about exposing the truth to the American people. I'm ashamed that millions of my fellow Americans are so scared and so desperate for leadership that they believe the President's bullsh*t.

I agree. And by the way, docjim, there are plenty of us who have done our bit for the country and we LOVE it when someone can "snipe" because that's one of the rights we fought for. Let me guess ... you're not a liberal.

Ok if you really want your answer, but I have to warn you, you prob won't like it because it's not sugarcoated and will offend many, but it's the truth.  First you mock a man who has the hardest job in the world.  Yea he has some things you can poke at but I'll bet money on you not being all that either.  What things can people make fun of you about?  That fact that it's juvenile hasn't even occurred to you, has it?  I'm glad to hear that you’re a conservative that's a plus for you.  As far as his not taking crap, oh I'm sorry you would rather have a president that let this country get walked all over and "take crap".  3000 Americans dead not enough for you?  As far as our respectable nation goes, we respect it, no other country does.  They hate us. (I’m sure that doesn’t go for every country but most do)  Other countries hate us because we are free, because we live better than they do, because we have the nicest house on the block. I could go on but that will take all day.  Most countries are just flat out jealous of us.  The same as a poor person would be jealous of a rich person.  We do act like the worlds police because we are.  Most UN troops, Americans.  We are the ones who stand up to right and wrong (even if it takes 12 years to do so).  If you really lover your country you would respect the office of the president and back who ever sits there.  I didn't like Bill but I only voiced what I thought he did wrong, I didn't make fun of obvious flaws in his character.  Hell I’d slept with Monica too if I had to look at Hillary everyday.  There that's my one pun for him or her depending on what way you look at it.  I'm actually glad you posted your question, it made me think of my own flaws that I might want to change and better myself, thank you.  And as far as him getting voted in twice,,,, Americans are as a whole very stupid,,, and I mean dumb,,, We have our freedom and we mock it.  Most people who vote don't even know what they are voting on, and even if they think they do they don't know what else is on the same issue that they are voting on.  Most Americans don't understand that a bill to fund schools could also have a part of it that funds some senators or counsel member’s pockets.  And it's really sad to say that most Americans think politicians don't lie or will actually do what they say they will.  About 1% might have morals and do what is good for the country and not just for them selves.  Hardly anyone checks out what type of person they are voting for they just vote for the party they consider themselves part of.  Or they vote on what name they recognize.  Or worse still they don't vote.  In my personal opinion Bush is doing what is right and just.  I don't believe he's a totally honest person by any means, but I’d done exactly the same thing as he is doing and defended the country from the cowards that murdered 3000 Americans on 9/11.  And why did they do it, because we don't worship the same God they do. \n\nThis is proof on how stupid Most people are.\n\nWe live in a country where someone who plays a game ex football, basketball, etc.... makes 100 times more than a person who is educating our future generations and will have a great impact on the way kids think.  Where the only way to actually make enough money in the working world to life is to further our education and put ourselves so far in debt doing it that all we end up doing with the extra money is paying it off.  Where we put non-violent offenders away for years and give a man who rapes a child a slap on the wrist!  That pisses me off right there.  The man should die for that.  Where if a male teacher sleeps with his teenage student and gets made out to be the worst person in the world and when a female teacher does she is bipolar and we need to feel sorry for her.  If she's bipolar how the hell did she get a teaching job to begin with?

To use a poker term,"He's all in".......but he is bluffing, has been since he took office actually. But like the boy who cried wolf, his bluffs never work anymore, so 67% of the american population just laughs and looks on while he pushes all his chips into the pot and proclaims, "I'm all in"...."I guess I will leave this mess for the next administration".Not his problem anymore folks. Guess we better select our next president now, perhaps buy out his contract since he has all but resigned himself to be the lame duck that he is. But boy oh boy, he sure does give a good speech (as long as it is to people that he has had screened) I would like to see him come to the northeastern states and give us a dog and pony show like he does when he tours the southern military bases. That would be epic.

There was a similar conversation going on within yahoo 360. I, being an American, can do nothing more than agree with you on most points. I don't know that I would go as far as to say that as a whole we are worse than Hitler, but I have mentioned to several that I work with that I feel, our President Bush is modern days version of Hitler. \n\nI think, unfortunately, that most (not all) foreigners don't realize that most (not all) Americans don't like the man either! His approval rating as of yesterday was 33%. That's pretty bad. We don't like that he seems to be a bully to others and don't like that we are as a whole viewed as believing the way he does. The argument can be made that "we" re-elected the man. I understand that, although I did not. I didn't vote for him either time. I think the general thought at the time, was that he started something we better let him finish it, since (in theory) he should know what he's doing. Ha!\n\nAs far as history is concerned. I can't argue that either. But again, like every other country that is judged, and they all are, the country as a whole does not necessarily believe the same as their leaders do. I think in the beginning they put on a good "show" and are then elected into leadership. Whom ever puts on the best show wins the "prize". It sucks.\n\nMy response in the discussion to the blog was similar to what is here. I also said that I really hope that someday people just learn to accept others for what they are and what they believe. There is no right or wrong way. There is only what people believe is best for them. That includes democracy! It might be OK for us, but not for others. Our way is not necessarily the "best" way. I just wish everyone could leave everyone else alone.

You are correct! I thought no one would notice how gracious the republicans are with this loss and even Rush Limbaugh (on radio) said he was mad at Repubs NOT Dems! I was also glad how our President spoke at the news conference, yesterday, when they bombarded him  with all the slurs and names Nancy Pelosi called him. He just took it in stride and said he would put it behind him in  order to get things done for the American people!! A true statesman!!  None gives him any credit for ANYTHING!! But I do!!

It is just another move in a long line of them that highlights Bush's penchant for self-righteousness.  To him, it matters not that the majority of the American people don't approve of him, his tactics, or his job performance.  Right after the mid-terms he was all welcoming and talking about working together with the Democrats.  I hoped for once he was being forthright and truthful, but lately I've realized that a leopard really doesn't change its spots.  The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and there you have it.  For the next two years it's going to be a battle in Washington D.C.  I was stunned by his declaration that civil war is not happening in Iraq.  That man has the worst case of tunnel vision I have ever seen in a President.  It's a sure sign of egomania when someone is unable to ever admit they are wrong about anything.  Honestly, this man is the worst President I have ever witnessed in office, and I've been alive long enough to remember Nixon like it was yesterday.

My joke of the day:\n\nRumsfeld is reporting to the President and the cabinet. He says, "Three Brazilian soldiers were killed today in Iraq."\nThe President says, "Oh, my God!" as he buries his head in his hands.\nThe entire Cabinet is stunned. Usually George Bush shows no reaction whatsoever to these reports.\nJust then, Bush looks up and says, "How many is a brazilian??"

I am in Ohio...ashamed of my neighbors.\nMy friend, a loyal democrat, phoned me this morning to start rubbing it in.\nI asked her if she will be happy with Nancy Pelosi being speaker of the house, and made some points about her ass backwards liberal agenda, Kennedy, Reid...you know the jackasses running our fine nation.\nHer response was "I didnt vote them in"\nUM, well, you voted DEMOCRAT right? YOU DID vote them in, and I hope you are happy because YOU and your BUSH hating buddies are going to get EXACTLY what you asked for....\nterror attacks\nno limit abortions\ngay marriage\nembryonic stem cell research...which I would like to add shows NO promise is curing ZERO diseases and treating ZERO as well\nACLU coming out to defend whackos like Cindy Sheehan, who has found fame off of the dirt of her sons grave that she has not even taken the time to mark with a headstone in TWO years\nShe then brought up that the economy would thrive, her taxes...blah blah blah, I asked her why is this important to you, you dont even work and have not in 9 years.\nIt all goes back to the war in Iraq and they hate the President.\nOK, again, congrats, you will get what you asked for.\nShame on Ohio.

It goes to show you what liberal Democrats will do if they get control! Typical loony leftist liberal attitude toward our military. Are we really expected to believe that his insult was due to the fact that he can't tell a "GOOD JOKE"?? That dumb excuse proves that he thinks everyone is stupid & not just our troops!  He's always been an arrogant SOB & now he's proved it. He bit himself in the as-!

Right now I am ashamed of our leaders and many of the people who live here. Their parents sure didn't know what they were doing when they raised them.\n\nWe are losing our freedoms, getting people killed and ripping off the poor to give to those who already have more than they need.\n\nWe are no longer leaders by example of what is right! To most of the world we represent all that is wrong!\n\nFreedom!! you have got to be kidding! So we are better than China, thats 1 and that isn't saying a hell of a lot when you consider Europe for examle. Almost anywhere in Europe is better than here, and they treat them better as well.\n\nAnd don't tell me to love it ir leave it! I EARNED mine!! Did you?\n\n\n"Look at history, man. The Romans began with a republic, just like we did. The freedom and prosperity that followed made them complacent, apathetic. They became fat and happy, and mistakenly figured that government was responsible. Since their government was such a Good Thing, it didn't need watching, so few paid it any attention. Those with a knack for politics took advantage of that to increase their power, and also their stash. Eventually the republic degraded into an empire, and suffered the fate of all empires. They go broke trying to keep control of every place they've conquered.\n\n"We're heading down the same road. Only this time, it's happening faster. It took three, four centuries for Rome to decline and fall. We might do it in three or four decades. Hell, maybe three or four years. Or months! Who the hell knows?"\n\nHe paused for a moment; I could see him trying to calm his breathing. He began to slowly read from the Wall, his eyes moving randomly over the panel. "David T. Hilton. William C. Langham. John A. Gibson. Richard Galan. Danny Lee Frye. Cecil D. Lamm. All these boys blown off the face of the Earth, because we just can't keep our noses out of what's happening on the other side of the world. Ever read George Washington's Farewell Address?"\n\nI shook my head. "He told us not to concern ourselves with what other countries are doing to and amongst themselves. He said it would just get us mired in a big mess. But did we listen? Nooooo. He warned us! Jefferson warned us! Most all of the Founders warned us! John Quincy Adams, about thirty years later, said 'America does not go out in search of monsters to destroy.' Well, now we do, John Q.\n\n"You know what I finally figured out? People don't start wars. Countries don't start wars. It's governments that start wars. Fuckin' governments. And we go along with it. Whenever you see a problem, social or economic or political, and think that government should do something about the problem, do a little homework and you'll probably find that government is the source of the problem. And war is just the epitome of government problem solving. So what if a majority thinks that this coming war is right. The majority is just something that government manufactures and manipulates to give the appearance of legitimacy to what government does.\n\n"And as for those government bozos who say that those who question their plans and motives is unpatriotic and aiding the enemy, well, they can just kiss my ass."\n\nCol David Hackworth 10 Silver Stars, 8 Purple Hearts. 3 DSC's!\n\nAnd he earned his!!

Unfortunately, you can not even find this funny. This is the person you understand that is in the position of taking the big descisions that will affect all of us in the world. Hope those who are Republicans can see if their champion is this bad, what does that make them.?

"AH HA HA HA" I almost peed-me-pants! I love this "GUY". You know the NEO-CON'S running their mouths and abusing Americans thinking they have the right to act as if they are the elite (SS) is getting real old. The NEO-CON'S have played the Liberal card too many times. I am not even a Liberal and for some reason if you oppose them which 90% of the World does, you must be a Liberal. The U.K. has a liberal government right now and they are our allies, and the only ones we really have at the present. G."DUMBYA" said he stood alone, but he insists on crying about asking for our support while starving people. The Deep South Neo-con's have made it pretty clear that they hate anyone that isn't from the South (Confederates), We are sick of you and your crap (RUSH NEO-CON LIMBAUGH) I can't wait until November; because the Neo-con's are jumping ship everyday as we speak in their own party.

Bush is fighting hard the last remnants of his pride he has left.\n\nWon't get him far, and will give us all a chuckle like the one I got when I saw him on TV, with his ego dragging on the floor yesterday\n\n...Let him!
49720
My anwer? not necessarily. Least, not if they in any way emulate the guy. He has done so much for this country...I'm sorry, so much TO this country, and even half the world hates him, so no, I don't think I would be too proud in respect to the fact that they are linked to him in this way. Still, I hope to raise my children better, and hopefully, one day they will fix the damage that he has done through his reign of terror. NSA? Please don't arrest me, please?

Bush is much more than just an embarrassment. he disgraces our country and our flag. it is painful to watch him try to think (if you've ever really tried to watch one of his moronic speaches). i wish i could move to Canada but i dont have enough money because of the Bush Administration. the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. i'm lower middle class and it seems like each paycheck pays for less and less. and the people that say we all need to respect and back him whether we voted for him or not: are you even f.ucking seeing whats going on in your country? Bring the damn troops home. we have wars to fight on our own soil. bring on 2008...PLEASE!!!
