Somebody has stolen our president!

Who is this new guy in the White House, the one who looks and talks like George Bush but acts like someone who actually knows how to use the full range of tools available to him as president?

It can’t be George W. Bush. This new guy has agreed to lift trade sanctions against North Korea and to remove North Korea from the list of states sponsoring terrorism. This new “Bush” embraces timelines — excuse me, “time horizons” — for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and he has sent U.S. diplomats to talk directly with Iranian diplomats. He even appears close to opening a U.S. “interest section” in Iran for the first time since the late ’70s.

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton says such moves are “further evidence of the administration’s complete intellectual collapse.” In an interview with Fox News’ Major Garrett, Bolton said “it’s the Bush administration legitimizing the Obama presidency’s policy. It’s like Senator Obama already has a transition office in the West Wing.”

So who is this impersonator? (Anybody seen Frank Caliendo lately?) Do they have the real President Bush squirreled away in some secret, undisclosed location, right next to a straitjacketed Dick Cheney? (And why do we say something is “squirreled away” in the first place?)

Most important, why on earth did they wait seven and a half years to make the switch?

Dear American Citizens and the Press

As a concerned citizen, I consider it is my duty to bring following message to you all.

“We the citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate responsibility to elect the ” Right Candidate” to lead our nation, out of our huge present and future internal and external challenges as well as opportunities. This is to prevent depression and isolation in-spite of being the only superpower in the world morally, democratically, economically, and militarily.

We need to consider the “critical qualities and characteristics” of our presumptive presidential nominees at the time we vote.

In my personal and professional opinion the critical considerations are as under:

  • Calm, cool, and collected ” temper ” [ Presidential Temperament ].
  • Sound and sustained “Judgment and Caliber”.
  • “Thought-fullness and togetherness” of purpose and positions.
  • Minimum “ex-poser and exploitation” around “Washington and Washington insiders”.
  • Renewed ” Vigor and Vision ” for our Greatgrand Nation.
  • Foreign policy based on ” American Values, Virtuous, Vastness”.
  • Stay informed, stay involved, and stay engaged. Do not allow some partisan media, pundits, pollsters, and perpetual political opinion makers effect your vote in the wrong direction.

    Don’t be effected and duped by “Psychological Terrorism” that is afflicted upon you all the time.

    Long live U.S.A and its diverse but democratic people.

    Didn’t catch your drift, Hillbilly Ragger, but the Colonel comes in loud and clear. W obviously has written off McSame, but his actions of the past week may actually help heal the GOP’s reputation a lot quicker than it ever would have if the Prez had remained en-Chaneyed.

    Republicans are calling this “OPERATION: McCane”

    Its their way of giving McCain a badly needed crutch in his quest for the presidency. From what I understand White House resident journalist Guckert/Gannon played a major role in the switch. In what appeared to be a routine evening, Guckert/Gannon handcuffed the real President to the Oval Office desk, but thats where the normal routine ended.

    McCain aides then entered the office and took a very stunned Bush into a very secluded White House basement. With the help of Gannon/Guckert and Sen Larry Craig (Republican) they spent the night brain washing the President real good. Over and over again, it was awful. They then put Bush’s brain back into his head where it belongs, its not supposed to be down there.

    What we ended up with is a new, improved and sane President Bush. The McCain people are now calling Bush the “Manchurian President.”

    The Bush move to normalcy has greatly improved McCain’s chances.

    “OPERATION: McCane”…….Success!

    The “time horizons” are based on conditions on the ground and the ability of the Iraqis to take care of their own security. In other words, the exact same policy we’ve had from day one.

    When they stand up, we’ll stand down and return home in victory.

    A success for McSame? Folks know where Bush got his ideas: from the Obama playbook. Heck, now McCane’s left with only the economy as an issue — and no one to teach him what that means. (Remember when Phil Gramm was routinely called an economics professor. Then he left the Senate and became a “millionaire banker.” Sellout!!) I’m betting old John calls Cindy “mother” at home — just like Laurence Harvey did Angela Landsbury in one of my favorite old flicks.

If the hag indeed does not have a law degree, then should not each and every client she represented by entitled to all their money back, plus interest? Should not each and every court before which she fraudulently practiced not now hold her in contempt? Should not anyone of her clients convicted of a crime be entitled to an automatic new trial? The State Bar needs to be punished for failing to maintain her documentation of a law degree…that alone might save her from spending ALL the rest of her life in prison, rather than say 10 years…She needs to forfeit all pay from grady, and be kicked off all boards…fired from the state legs too….MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS DANGEROUS LYING CHEAT, IMHO, IF THE LAW DEGREE WAS INDEED FAKED…and make Obama pledge not to appoint fakers and liars to high guv office…

    Jay,

    In your astonishment you’ve stretched your credibility.

    You said Bush: “…acts like someone who actually knows how to use the full range of tools available to him as president?”. That is truly an exaggeration. He avoids taking responsibility, he walks a fine line between truth and fiction, he still think that bi-partisan politics means that the opposition party needs to agree with him 100%, he has no clue about what it takes to LEAD our country, and he continues to drag this country toward irrelevance with his disastrous foreign policies and his economics for big business at the expense of the average American.

    But other than that, you were right on target!

    And how long did it take liberals to realize that George W. Bush knew what he was doing the whole time? Liberals think the President has changed. He has not. He has thought through each problem and done what he thinks is best. That is what he is doing now and always has.

    Now the man of stength moves on. Another one will take his place. McCain!! You better be thankful there is ONE to choose from and it is NOT the inexperienced, weak minded and anti-military Obama.

    Bookman is just like Obama with a better disposition. I do believe Bookman is more real than the mentor-led Obama who has to be told what to believe. I hate to think who has “led” Obama before but we know one who did for twenty years of hate-America. Then there’s his wife. These are the ones who have “led” Obama in the last decades.

    I guess it depends on what you call qualifications. George W. Bush was GOVERNOR of one of the largest states in the USA for FIVE years. Obama has been a junior US senator for less than four years. Are you calling “community organizer” experience? Yes, but in what? Obama’s ommunity work. Not city, not county, not state, not national experience.But, yes, Obama did finally have a year or two in a state legislature.

    Business expertise for Obama????? Zero. George W. Bush has a MBA and long experience in the business of oil production.

    George W. Bush had military service in the National Guard as a pilot, no matter what you doubters fabricate. It was documented military service. Obama has no military service and is an anti-war advocate. You call THAT a qualification for Obama.

    Obama’s early education was in a Madrassa in Indonesia. That’s a Muslim school in case you forgot. Is that also a qualification?

    Call names all you want, N-GA. Misrepresent the President of the USA. The facts show how wrong you are. But, like many far left libs, you are too filled with hate for the President to even face the truth. It a loser position and one into which you fit perfectly.

    Since the National Organization to Elect Obama President (also known as the mainstream press) is pulling every stop to trash my Presidency I might as well put in place a few things the Liberals want before I leave. Even if Obama makes these changes while in Office (and they fail miserably) they’ll blame me for the catastrophy anyway.

    So Ms. Pelosi, bring me a Bill to raise the tax on the so-called rich. Even though it will cause unemployment to go higher than even Clinton’s term - HEY! - give the Liberals what they want! Then I’ll tell our troops to come on home. That should give Al-Qaeda about 2 years to get back to their main business at hand - to destroy a major city on the U.S. mainland. Might as well bring Obama’s ‘changes’ quickly.

    If I was dying of cancer I wouldn’t want to linger in misery - let me die quickly. Same thing with what the Democrats will bring.

    This is what that exchange in Speigel originally looked like.

    Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. US presidential candidate Barack Obama is right when he talks about 16 months. Assuming that positive developments continue, this is about the same time period that corresponds to our wishes.

    Now it’s been changed to:

    Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.

    There is NO QUESTIONABLE SERVICE in the history of President Bush. He was IN the National Guard as a pilot during the Viet Nam War. You can try to change or alter that all you want. President Bush was in the National Guard of the United States during the Viet Nam War.

    What next? There was NO Viet Nam War. That would tie in with your McCain got himself captured and blah blah blah hate now aimed against a decorated POW. You Dems will manufacture the same hate against McCain just like you did with Bush.

    You brag about Bush being gov. of Texas. What you leave out is the fact that he did pretty much to Texas what he did to the rest of the country — leave it broke and full of filthy air to breathe.

    and Bush’s so called “service”?

    He slimed into the Guard the same way he slimed out.

    why was he grounded from flying Crusty?

    where was he during that stretch that he mysteriously disappeared? where the heck is any documentation as to his whereabouts?

    I had to assemble some paperwork and needed some information that was not in my official personnel file.

    I put in a tracer, via my congressman, and was AMAZED at the information and paper trail that was forwarded to me.

    In other words, that “it got lost” dog don’t hunt. Not to rational people anyway.

    Where do Osama & Co. stand today? They’re not welcome in a single Arab country. The Saudi royals not only cut off their funding, but cracked down hard within the kingdom. A few countries, such as Yemen, tolerate radicals out in the boonies - but they won’t let al Qaeda in. Osama’s reps couldn’t even get extended-stay rooms in Somalia, beyond the borders of the Arab world.

    And the Arab in the (dirty) street is chastened. Instead of delivering a triumph, al Qaeda brought disaster, killing far more Arabs through violence and strife than Israel has killed in all its wars. Nobody in the Arab world’s buying al Qaeda shares at yesterday’s premium - and only a last few suckers are buying at all.

    Dusty,

    He was in the Guard, but never deployed. A weekend warrior who learned nothing about what it is like to serve on active duty.

    GWB’s business experience? Surely you jest! Arbusto Energy, Spectrum 7, & Harken Energy all went backward when he was involved. He borrowed money from friends and invested in the Texas Rangers, a third-tier baseball franchise that he managed into mediocrity.

    Barack Obama’s 3 years working as a community organizer easily trumps GWB’s “military service”. Then Obama was in the State Legislature from 1997-2004. That’s 8 years, not the 1-2 that you lied about. BTW, being governor is a STATE level government job! BWB had no national experience, but Obama does.

    I hate doing all this research for you Dust-mote.

    Democrats, with Obama to the fore, predicted a military disaster and piles of American corpses. (Indeed, even many Republicans were afraid to back the Petraeus plan openly.)

    But McCain, a combat veteran who’s made repeated trips to the front, knew otherwise.

    As for Obama, until recently he was still insisting that the surge would fail.

    Now he knows otherwise - which is why his aides moved quickly to purge all signs of his earlier opposition from his campaign Web site.

    To use Bolton as some sort of ‘expert’ would be like getting Rosie O’Donnell as an expert on heterosexual relations.

    Bolton flies whichever way the wind blows. He has trashed McCain, Obama (numerous times), and now Bush.

    Anything to keep his ugly mug on television, or grovelling for another interview brings him out from under his rock. His appointment as U.N.

    “Iraq will be in hell, and we will find ourselves at the gates of civil war,” said Maied Rashed al-Nuaemi, a provincial council member in Mosul, a city in northern Iraq where Iraqi forces are battling the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq. “The American presence in Iraq is the safety valve to keep this country quiet. If they withdraw, that will lead to calamity.”

    “I think that Obama talks more than what he can accomplish, because reality differs from promises and dreams,” said Um Mohammed, 60, an engineer in Baghdad who declined to give her full name. “I think it is just a camouflage to reach the presidential chair. It’s a way to satisfy the American people and the American mothers.”

    Mohammed Sulaiman, 56, a retired government employee in Baghdad, said: “The proposal of Obama to pull out the troops by summer 2010 is foolish. If the United States withdraws from Iraq, I think its credibility among the international countries would collapse.”

    “We need more training, as well as new and developed weapons and supplies. We also need modern and developed technology. The U.S. forces should withdraw gradually so our Iraqi forces can fill the gaps that the American forces will leave,” said Brig. Gen. Najim Abdullah, spokesman for the Iraqi National Police. “As to a timetable, I don’t think we should specify it now, because it is related to the logistical support and the ability of our Iraqi forces to handle their responsibility.”

    “Now we are only fighting the insurgency in our country, and we still need the support” of U.S.-led coalition forces, said Maj. Gen. Habeeb al-Husaini, commander of the Iraqi army’s 14th Division, whose forces control the cities of Amarah, Samawah and Nasiriyah in southern Iraq. “So how about if we want to defend the country from the external threats?”

    Yeah, they “want us to leave.”

    What a fabricator!! You know as well as I do that the National Guard was not deployed overseas during those ‘Nam days. They were the NATIONAL (Home) DEFENSE. After Clinton cut the miitary drastically, the military had to depend on the National Guard as their back up as needed. Thus the National Guard is often deployed now. You forgot to mention THAT.

    Couldn’t verify your business facts about Bush but he must have been mighty hard up to buy ONLY an American League Baseball team. I believe he sold that team later for a tidy sum. Eat your business heart out, N-GA.

    But your prize blooper for today..OBAMA’S COMMUNITY SERVICE EQUALS BUSH’S MILITARY SERVICE. Oh yes indeed. Getting chairs for the Old Folk’s Center and a community garden for the Housing Project far excels the dangerous service of a military pilot. I bet Obama agrees with that. You certainly would not catch him doing ANYTHING in the military. No sirree. He’s not going to fight for anything except to get in the White House.

    Where’s Bush?

    He’s right here:

    1717 GMT - Iranian leaders must choose between cooperation with the West and confrontation, a State Department spokesman told reporters July 19 following a meeting between EU and Iranian diplomats on Iran’s nuclear program, at which U.S. Undersecretary of State William Burns was in attendance. Burns reportedly did not meet separately with the Iranian delegation, the spokesman said, adding that EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana told Iran’s representative that Iran must give a “clear answer” to the West within two weeks.

    That ^^^ message came not only from us, but our European allies as well.

    2102 GMT - Iran wants the United States to continue participating in negotiations over its nuclear program because top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili believes Washington’s involvement makes a settlement more likely, the Iranian Students News Agency reported July 19, citing an unnamed Iranian official.

    At the end of two weeks, they’ll be hit with more sanctions or maybe something BIGGER.

You know, they’re not surprised that we could strike them, and strike them hard,” Obama said. “What we haven’t suggested in any way is what advantages they would have in acting more responsibly in the region. That’s been the missing ingredient.”

    Whatever George W Bush does after the election it appears that Laura Bush will not be doing it with him. Who can blame her?

    Italy’s La Republica newspaper wrote that George and Laura Bush were planning a divorce after the presidential election in the USA.

    George and Laura Bush hardly ever speak to each other. George feels very unhappy and does not want Laura to leave him. However, the newspaper wrote, Laura is tired of everything; she is determined to live her own life.

    The couple still keeps their relationship alive just because they are contractually obliged to stay together during George W. Bush’s presidency; it is not a matter of feelings at all.

    They pretend that their marriage is still alive in spite of the fact that it was buried long ago. The divorce will be kept a secret until the president retires, the newspaper wrote.

    The newspaper believes that George W. Bush has been having an affair with US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. A former employee of the presidential administration said that Laura Bush once spent her night in a hotel to stay away from the White House.

Don’t be fooled by this lull. The Iraqi militaty still have not proven themselves to be either competent or willing to fully secure their country. That will not be tested until every last one of your troops are home!

    As for the distiction between Bush’s and Obama’s service I think it’s time for a reality check. First of all The Air National Guard during the late 1960s was a feeder system for those who could claim they served their country while not actually being in the theatre of war. This was the route chosen for Dumbya. Please, don’t insult anyone’s intelligence by claiming that Bush served, that one has been done to death!!

    Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the possibility of troop withdrawal was based on the continuance of security improvements, echoing statements that the White House made Friday after a meeting between al-Maliki and U.S. President Bush.

    Well Dusty, your response was typical. Avoid the question and lie with your answers.

    I fabricated nothing. GWB NEVER flew a combat mission, and was NEVER deployed on active duty. He was a GI in name only. He spent a lot of time helping someone run for office in Alabama.

    So Obama’s front line work helping the homeless, the hungry, the lost was much more significant in the impact it had on our society.

    Now what about your inane and stupid claims about how GWB had more experience in public office, and your suggestion that he had national experience while Obama had none. Now there are some big lies. You said Obama had 1-2 years as a state representative when he actually had 8 years. What’s the matter…can’t get your facts straight?

    He didn’t buy a baseball team…he bought a piece of a baseball team using other people’s money. And he certainly couldn’t manage the team to win a world series, or a pennant, or even a division title.

    He was a loser in business, and had little political experience. But you continue to claim that Obama lacks experience when he has much more than GWB ever did. And you continue to spread the lies about the madrassa. Doesn’t the bible tell you not to lie?

    Now then, I have one question for you. When you lie, and God knows that you know you are lying, and He also knows that you believe that if you ask for forgiveness He will give it, do you also believe that there is no punishment in the afterlife for these “sins that I know He will forgive”? I know, have someone else read the sentence and explain it to you in “see-Spot-run” terms.

    If there is any wonder as to why the AJC paper editions subscriptions are dropping like a homesick rock from the sky, one need look no further than today’s edition.

    The lead articles on the individual sections are pretty much typical of this newspaper’s political leanings. As opposed to having anything to do with what the title of the section implies, we get this:

    * * Arts and Books ** - MLK (again, the guy’s been dead for 40 years for crying out loud)

    * * Living ** - Eco-care(?) what the hell is that, other than another leftist tone cowing to the whacko environmentalist left?

    * * Sports ** - Curacao? A bunch of kids from Curacao? Perhaps the biggest story in golf this year (Greg Norman leading the British Open) after Tiger Woods winning the US Open on one leg, and it is not even top billing?

    * * Issue ** - no surprise here…Michelle Obama being racially stereotyped (yawn). AJC just cannot seem to get past race, all the while bellowing at the world that everyone else needs to overlook race in this presidential campaign.

    * * News ** - Eco-friendly homes (see remark about Living section.

    I have a degree in broadcast journalism from Memphis State (1971), had a dad in the newspaper business in Tennessee for 47 years, and even back then in the old days we were taught that you will not get the readers’ attention with headlines or lead stories about material that was, well, uninteresting, too deep for the average Joe, or a headline that screams of partisan politics (that was reserved for the editorial pages). Journalism was generally considered a function of reporting the news, not trying to shape the news.

    Look at all of the so-called major media today, print editions or broadcast, and see what is happening to their subscription levels, or viewership. Coincidentally, those suffering the most seem to be virtually all left-wing partisan supporters. Maybe they should have stuck to JOURNALISM instead of getting involved in partisan politics.

    When 12% of Americans still believe Obama is a muslim, and 37% still believe he attended a madrassa (both incorrect), it is a small wonder that fewer Americans are reading newspapers.

    When Walter Crokite or Huntley & Brinkley were on network news, people trusted them. Now they get “news lite” along with numerous “talking heads” spouting opinions instead of facts.

    And if anyone thinks that Fox staffers “accidentally” say Osama instead of Obama on many occasions, they are as easily manipulated as pre-WWII Italians and Germans.

    Is it any coincidence that the drop in American newspaper readership is inversely related to American prosperity or education levels when compared to the rest of the world? No! Is there any doubt that Rupert Murdoch’s success in making tabloid journalism the norm has contributed to the current sorry state we are in? No!

    After almost two terms in office, Bush FINALLY sees the light — time is not on his side. Now, if we can just convince him that money doesn’t really grow on bushes (although the idea of plucking it from a Bush might appeal to some folks) even though he learned that lesson from his daddy and we are supposed to believe our daddy. Of course, that’s just for starters.

    Bush thinks that all he has to do is run outside and pluck a few hundred billion dollars whenever he needs to in order to fund his fallacious efforts to “protect” us. All the while, we needed more protection from the Bush family values than from anyone else. More people killed during this administration’s wars than from all terror attacks combined. More damage to American families due to this administration’s failed attempts to stop bin Laden than from hurricane Katrina. We need an end to the unnatural death and destruction of this administration. We needed Bush to see the error of his ways thousands of lives and billions of dollars ago. Will “better late than never” be soon enough?

    Are you listening Senator Obama?

    Mullen, asked about the possibility of withdrawing all combat troops within two years, said, “I think the consequences could be very dangerous.”

    The military buildup in Iraq that began more than 18 months ago has ended. In recent days, the last of the five additional combat brigades sent in by Bush last year has left the country.

    Bush, McCain and our troops get credit for ^^^ that one.

    If conditions keep improving, “I would look to be able to make recommendations to President Bush in the fall to continue those reductions,” Mullen said.

    Those recommendations will be made to President Bush. They’ll be the same for The OBumbler. If he is, indeed, sincere about listening to commanders in Iraq, then he’s boxed himself in and will be attacked from his left flank.

    An AMAZING military strategist, That OBumbler.

    Obama could just pull a Bush administration strategy and just keep changing out commanders until he gets ones in place that speaks his language. Of course, that’s just one of many of the Bush administration’s X-files style tactics — lies, deceit and obfuscation.

    If anybody needs to be drawn up UGLY, it is Congress. Luckovich’s cartoon of Bush is more similar to Nancy Pelosi’s last episode on TV, a harridan in makeup.

    Oh my goodness, I just read earlier comments and realized that N-GA couldn’t sleep last night for bad dreams about Obama. Furthermore, I had the audacity to question his idealized Obama. Yes!!!

    N-GA should read Obama’s book. Obama wrote that he went to a Muslim school in Indonesia. Now Indonesia is the LARGEST MUSLIM COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. So, did Obama go to a Muslim school? He said he did. Was it a Madrassa, a fundamentalist Muslim school? He said NO.

    Yes, Obama was a State Senator for seven years, not three as I wrote. So, there you go. N-GA, a big time state senator for less than a decade. Maybe that big time community service paid off for Obama. But let’s not use the word “paid off”. N-GA will get up set and lose sleep again over his hero.

    But whoopee!! N-Ga thinks flying military aircraft takes less skill and commitment than community service(such as Obama’s)..!! But the military point is null & void. Obama is anti-war and would not vote to fight our enemies. Fight!! R U kidding?? Obama??

    European fans will cheer on U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama as he visits Berlin, Paris and London this week, but governments wary of his inexperience and evolving policies fear the euphoria is overdone.

    You reckon?

    His appearance at the “Victory Column” in Berlin’s central Tiergarten park is expected to draw huge crowds and is being likened in advance to former president John F. Kennedy’s celebrated “Ich bin ein Berliner” performance of 1963.

    Does anyone else not realize what an insult this is to Kennedy?

    Or do these power mongers even care?

    But in the German Chancellery a few hundred meters away there is unease with the Illinois senator’s cult-like following and skepticism about whether he can live up to the hype.

    Aahhh, yes, they have heard of thee kult.

    “It is not the inexperience of Obama that should concern people but more the risk of a vacuum for a while,” one EU diplomat said.

    Much like thee vacuum in between Lord High Dimwit’s big as-s ears.

    He likened the huge crowds Obama is expected to draw in Europe to those that cheered on former Chancellor Helmut Kohl during the build-up to German unification. Kohl’s fans turned against him when his promises of “flourishing landscapes” in eastern Germany failed to materialize.

    “Euphoria in politics is an invitation for disappointment,” von Klaeden said.

    The same can be said for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has made plain his “very personal preference” for McCain.

    In conservative Poland, there are fears an Obama administration could row back on the Bush administration’s plans to deploy a missile shield in central Europe, leaving Warsaw to pick up the pieces.

    So are we, homeboy, worried about picking up the pieces of America.

    Yaaawwwwnnnnnn:

    Biofuels advocates say that increasing usage of the products could help moderate oil prices, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost rural economies, hence the push in Washington for a higher mandate. The target of 7.5 billion gallons will be surpassed next year, four years ahead of schedule.

    The 36 billion-gallon target passed the Senate in June and was adopted by congressional Democratic leaders as part of an energy bill now pending in Congress.

    The higher mandate, however, has drawn opposition from oil companies, who don’t want to be forced to use biofuels, and from livestock producers, who fear increased corn ethanol production will drive grain prices and feed costs still higher. Environmental groups wanted safeguards added to the mandate.

    All four Democratic senators who are running for president - Hillary Clinton of New York, Barack Obama of Illinois, Joe Biden of Delaware and Chris Dodd of Connecticut - voted for the Senate energy bill, which passed 65-27 in June. McCain, the lone GOP candidate in the Senate, did not vote.
