Bush Urges Confidence in His Leadership (actual headline)
And these are actual quotes.


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bush

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush said Wednesday he understands why the nation he has led for five years has become more anxious, and he urged people to have confidence in him.

"People are uncertain, in spite of our strong union, because of war, and I understand that," Bush said.

"My worry is that people see that uncertainty and decide to adopt isolationist policies or protectionist policies," -> :shrug: <- Bush said. "In other words, in uncertain times it's easy for people to lose confidence in the capacity of this country to lead and to shape our future."

"Let me put it to you in Texan: If al-Qaida is calling into the United States, we want to know," Bush said.

4. Okay not you are clearly reading to much into this
First off you need to forget everything you know about political science and who believes in isolationism.

Second you need to entertain the idea that it would be possible for YOU let alone the US of freakin A could pull back into the manmade borders.

Lastly just sit and listen to him in the drug addled nonblinking Laura mental mode then bust out into hysterical fits of sobbing in public like SOME Republican women do.

2. WTF?


"Let me put it to you in Texan" ?

Does he mean straight-talking?

If so, how come everything he says sounds bent as a butcher's hook?

"isolationist"
"protectionist"

Just what is he rambling on about??!!

8. So Brain, how exactly do you know if its al quaida or ANY other
terrorist on the phone? You can't possibly! You are really conducting surveillance inside the US on a scale not seen since McCarthy. Asshole.

12. He didn't even say "protectionist"
He said "projectionist".

Fear those who run film projectors.

3. Well, seeing as how Al qaeda seems to work for you, or is your fantasy
creation, I'm sure you DO know when they call into the US. What crap...and Americans will be dumb enough to swallow it.

11. I don't think I could have any less confidence in this worthless excuse
for a human being.

The man couldn't lead the way down a one way street, if you ask me.

14. Five years later and he's *still* trying to sell us on his leadership?
I don't think so, George. If you don't have our confidence by now, you never will.

Savvy?
