Bush: ‘I don’t remember what I was doing in 1981.’ (caught in another lie)

[ProSense]

Bush: ‘I don’t remember what I was doing in 1981.’ In an attempt to decipher President Bush’s views on the recent Israeli airstrike inside Syria, NBC White House correspondent David Gregory asked the president at a press conference this morning whether he agreed with Israel’s decision to bomb the Osirak nuclear facility near Baghdad in 1981. Bush responded:

Ah, Dave, you know I don’t remember what I was doing in 1981. I was living in Midland, Texas. I don’t remember my reaction that far back.

Watch it:

To refresh Bush’s memory, in 1981, his twin daughters Barbara and Jenna were born. His father was vice president of the United States. And Bush was struggling as the head of a failing oil exploration company called Arbusto. The Washington Post reports:

Arbusto’s balance sheets showed that at the end of 1981, it had little more than $48,000 in the bank and more than half of all its assets consisted of “accounts receivable,” money owed to it by others. At the same time, the company owed almost $300,000 in bank loans and close to $120,000 to other creditors.

At that time, Bush received an infusion of cash from a number of sources, including from longtime friend James R. Bath who was handling the finances for the bin Laden family.

1. where's the lie?

Bush conveniently forgets all of his many failures.

[ProSense]

2. "conveniently forgets"

LOL!

[havocmom]

7. OK, 'chemically forgets'

We strive for accuracy ;)

4. He was drunk and or high for 20+ years! I do not doubt ...

..he has no memory of his daughters birth.

14. "he has no memory of his daughters birth."

Glad someone noticed that!

21. Was he even there for their conception?

That bourbon (and the nose candy, allegedly) has a strange effect on one's ability to perform...

3. Bush Family + bin Laden Family = any wonder Osama hasn't been caught?

Corruption.

Cronyism.

Deception.

There's a huge conflict of interest here, one that makes George Bush ineligible to be President of the United States.

He's a miserable failure, and he's taking the rest of us down with him. :mad:

27. Anyone heard from James R Bath lately?

Know your BFEE: James R Bath - Bush - bin Laden Link

Thanks for being in the fight, AndyA.

5. If I drank that much

...I might not remember either. :evilfrown:

[MrCoffee]

6. cocaine will do that to you.

[Lautremont]

8. I know what he was doing in 1981.

He, like the rest of the nation, had fallen in love with a little movie called 'Friday the 13th part 2'.

[Done]

9. Come on, let's be fair.

He was drunk most of that year. How can you remember anything when you stay drunk all the time.
:shrug:

[Johonny]

13. Drunk

How dare you. I say he was high.

[Done]

18. Probably both.

I think smirk leans more to booze while Laura prefers drugs, but only the hard stuff.

[azurnoir]

10. Given his history with ahem ........ substances

it is possible he doesn't remember 1981 or 1991 for that matter.

[krispos42]

15. I think you mean...

1981 TO 1991...


:evilgrin:

[Clark2008]

16. And, given the fact that he's not caught Osama bin Laden, it

seems he doesn't remember 2001, either.

[zbdent]

20. March of 2002

he didn't remember September 12, 2001 ...

[Rosemary2205]

26. I doubt he remembers much from 2006 !!

[liberal N proud]

11. He probably doesn't remember - He was too stoned.

[The Cleaner]

12. Bush would rather not have the public know Bin Ladens bailed him out - PERSONALLY.

Bin Laden/Bush connection looks VERY BAD for him and yet there you have it.

[Steven_S]

17. He finally tells the truth about something.....

And I, for one, believe him. At this time in his life he was deep in his alcoholism, and was more than likely a blackout drunk, sleep-in-his-own-vomit, bed-wetting boozer.

Of course he doesn't remember, and he wouldn't want to.

[rAVES]

19. Blow effects the short term memory.... lying piece of shit.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Bingo! nt

22. He was just trying to put food on his family!

Leave the poor millionaire alone!
