I'm a New member and I want to know

[Ecumenist]

How to post information about the bust of George B**h where "commemorating his "TANG" stint. The most frightening thing is that when the years of his "presidency" is noted, ie, 2001-2009, there is no ending date. It's left open. I don't know how to post this. It was in the Washington Post yesterday. In light of the fact that there is a move to repeal the 22nd ammendment, it's rather disconcerting. If someone can help me, I would appreciate it.

1. They probably didn't leave an end date

In the case of an unexpected death.

[1620rock]

5. Or removal from office. There was a thread and photo yesterday.

[Ecumenist]

12. Oh, okay. If it's already been discussed......

Never mind.. Though I still am fairly pissed and concerned that THE.WORST.pRESIDENT.EVER has designs on staying as chief failure and squatter in the white house beyond that time the law allows.

[dragonlady]

6. Or impeachment

We can only hope.

7. Hope springs eternal. His continued breathing is the best

argument for atheism I can think of.

[Ecumenist]

14. LOL!!!

Strangely, even as a Christian, I think that God would agree with you about that perspective.

[Ecumenist]

8. LOL!!! Then he needs to watch the people around him...

More than those he's worried about may be hoping for a fufillment of Tecumseh's Curse...
I'm just surmising Agent Mike.

23. that would be a damn shame

[Arugula Latte]

29. Well, see, the Rapture is gonna come aaaaaaaaany day now...

and Georgie's gonna be sucked up to be with Jeebus before his presidency ends!!!

[Olney Blue]

2. It was probably left open-ended because his term lasts until 1/2009.

However, he could die (or be impeached) before the end and thus
the date is not yet known.

Regardless, I am furious that such a bust of W exists. What hypocrisy.

btw, welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Ecumenist]

13. Thanks Olney

Me Too, Me too..

[Nostradammit]

3. Should he die tomorrow (God forbid *ahem*)

they would have to inscribe "2006". They are leaving it open for the worst case scenario - "2009".

[yellowdogmi]

24. Is it wrong to

pray for that to happen? Just wondering.
:evilgrin:

[RebelOne]

31. Nope, I'm with you. But then we would have Cheney,

which would be the worst of the two evils, so let's hope Bush stays healthy.

4. ?

You post just like you did this message of yours that I'm replying to. Just type or paste it into the Message box.

9. do you want to know how to post a link to the story?

just copy the URL (the internet address that shows at the top of your browser when you are on the Washington Post page) and paste it into the DU window. It will turn in to a link automatically.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Ecumenist]

16. Yes, Orange

I only started posting yesterday although I've been reading and learning as well as commiserating for over a year and 4 months. I want to be able to do things the correct way.

[Olney Blue]

19. Ecumenist- are you aware of the "my posts" function?

It's fun to go back to your posts within the past 48 h to see who has replied to you!

[Ecumenist]

21. Why Yes, I found that quite by accident and I was

pleasantly surprised..

[lavenderdiva]

26. Welcome to DU, Ecumenist!!

I must say that I am very impressed that you have assembled over 100 posts in a day!! Way to go!! :bounce:

[Gatchaman]

10. I don't know why people are so freaked out by this

It's not 2009 yet, so the date is not there. Simple. A million things could happen between now and then, natural, political, or criminal that could shorten his term.

It's just like buying a gravestone for a dying family member. You know they'll be passing in a few weeks, but they still don't put the deceased date on until after the funeral.

[Ecumenist]

17. Well, ordinarily, I would agree with you.....

But in light of the way that this bunch shows no respect for law and established protocol, not to mention the fact that they lied and cheated their way in, I have a heightened sense of concern. Besides, if it's a gravestone, unless one plans on "speeding along their departure", what you say is perfectly logical. BUT this is a prescribed and set time limit, not the same thing, by any stretch of the imagination.

[Innocent Smith]

11. ending date

They probably left the ending date open because sometimes Presidents have both died in office and also left office before the end of their term (Nixon).

Don't worry about the 22nd amendment. Even if a majority of Congress wanted it repealed (which they don't) there is just not enough time let alone willingness for the required number of states to get it passed before 2008.

[Ecumenist]

18. God, I hope not.

:freak:

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Well I don't have that one, but I did find this:

[Ecumenist]

20. LOL!! Kinda like his mullah Pat Robinson

I believe he was the liquor officer for his squadron, IIRC

[GrumpyGreg]

22. You would never put the end date on until it's over--just not done.

[boobooday]

25. Welcome, Ecumenist!

:hi:

The bust will give us something to celebrate upon when we finally send him packing. You know, like the Iraqis, when they were "liberated."

:hide:

[VonDoomPhd]

27. Liberated...

Liberated from the oppression of running water.
Liberated from the tyranny of electricity.
Liberated from annoying limbs.
Liberated from the sourge of this mortal coil.

[havocmom]

28. Big welcome to you too, VonDoomPhd!

:hi:

Looking forward to reading more from both of you 'newbies'.

[VonDoomPhd]

30. Thanks.

I've been reading this board since the Ohio irregularities. Now that I'm actually "getting involved" as it were, with a candidate and campaign, I thought I might as well join up properly.
I like it here.
