Bush: "I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy."
Source: Breitbart.com

WASHINGTON (AP) - President George W. Bush knows he's unpopular. But here's what matters, he says: "I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy." In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News Channel, Bush also praised the national security team assembled by President-elect Barack Obama, offered hope to U.S. automakers seeking government assistance and said the people of Illinois will have to sort out allegations that Gov. Rod Blagojevich sought kickbacks in choosing a successor for Obama's Senate seat.

Bush said presidents fail when they make decisions based on opinion polls.

"Look, everybody likes to be popular," said Bush.

"What do you expect? We've got a major economic problem and I'm the president during the major economic problem. I mean, do people approve of the economy? No. I don't approve of the economy. ... I've been a wartime president. I've dealt with two economic recessions now. I've had, hell, a lot of serious challenges. What matters to me is I didn't compromise my soul to be a popular guy."

Leaving aside the obvious fact that Bush has no soul, this is no different than Carrot Top saying that he didn't compromise his talent to be funny.

3. I think you owe all f*cktards an apology.
It's the holiday season, and f*cktards are already depressed enough without this sort of slander. Show some sensitivity. ;)

He starts two wars and whines about being a "wartime" president, that's like killing your parents and crying because you're an orphan.

17. According to him, he didn't drive anything. He just happened to be in the White House when
everything spontaneously decided to go to hell, having nothing to do with him.

Once again, the "party of personal responsiblity" disclaims any and all personal responsiblity for anything and everything.

Lord, help me not to hate.

14. Well, Gee Golly, Dipshit. If you hadn't started all the damn wars,
Edited on Thu Dec-18-08 06:45 AM by Jamastiene
you wouldn't have been a war time president and maybe you could have fixed some of the problems we have at home. Ever think of that?!? Oh, wait. I forgot. If he only had a brain... :eyes:

On second thought, it is probably good that fuckup had something else to keep his sorry loser good for nothing ass busy.

33 days is a long damn time, but it's certainly better than the 2,922 when I started counting down his exit. That son of a bitch (normally, I don't use that word, but in this case, it fits splendidly) can't leave the White House soon enough.

I hope he doesn't let the door hit his ass on the way out. I'd say we've had enough of his shit. Good riddance to bad rubbish. x(

46. Exactly. He sold his soul to the devil, and proceeded to murder hundreds of thousands
of innocent people for his master.

Those voices he hears in his head that tell him to kill and torture people, loot our treasury for his fascist friends, virtually destroy America and our democracy, and every other filthy rotten thing that rat bastard has done to our country and world aren't exactly coming from the classic idea of "heaven".

All the unspeakably evil things Bu*h has done were more likely in response to his "satanic majesty's request".

And that's not gonna make him real popular guy, except among his fascist friends.
