Default George Bush's Resignation Speech

Subject: GEORGE BUSH'S RESIGNATION SPEECH





If Bush resigned today, this is what his
speech would be.....


Normally, I start these things out by
saying "My Fellow Americans", not doing it this
time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know
who more than half of you are anymore. I do know
something terrible has happened, and that you're
really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I
quit. Now before anyone gets all in lather about me
quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid
prosecution, let me assure you: There's been no
breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this
office.

The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm
fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have
no understanding of what's really going on in the
world. Or of what's going on in this once-great
nation of ours. And the majority of you are too
damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a
bill of goods by politicians and the news media.
Polls show that the majority of you think the
economy is in the tank. And that's despite record
numbers of homeowners, including record numbers of
MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning
minorities, I'll point out that minority business
ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment
rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton
administration. I've mentioned all those things
before, but it doesn't sink in.

Despite the shock to our economy of
9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record
levels and more Americans than ever are
participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you
can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you
are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are
high because there's increased demand in other parts
of the world, and because a small handful of noisy
idiots are more worried about polar bears and
beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world.

Don't give me this "blood for oil" crap.
If I were trading blood for oil I would've already
seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the
country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush
Lied; People Died' crap either. If I were the liar
you morons take me for, I could've easily had
chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be
'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that
the intelligence was faulty.



Let me remind you that the rest of the
world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let
me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was
official US policy before I came into office.
Clinton established that policy. Bet you didn't
know that, did you?


You idiots need to understand that we
face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there
were two major competing political and economic
models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so
because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to
survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out
spend and out-tech them.



That's not the case this time. The
soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they
survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be
fine, as long as they weren't also committed to
taking as many of you with them as they can. But
they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards
are all over the globe. You should be grateful that
they haven't gotten any more of us here in the
United States since September 11. But you're not.
That's because you've got no idea how hard a small
number of intelligence, military, law enforcement,
and homeland security people have worked to make
sure of that. When this whole mess started, I
warned you that this would be a long and difficult
fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people
think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single
season of 'Survivor.'



Instead, you've grown impatient.
You're incapable of seeing things through the long
lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think
that wars should last a few months, a few years,
tops.

Making matters worse, you actively
support those who help the enemy. Every time you
buy the New York Times, every time you send a
donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political
campaign, well, you might just as well FedEx a
grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the
same thing.




In this day and age, it's easy enough to
find the truth. It's all over the Internet, it just
isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC
News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any
smarter. Most of you would rather watch American
Idol.


I could say more about your expectations
that the government will always be there to bail you
out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city
that's below sea level and has a Cat 5 hurricane
approaching.





I could say more about your idiotic
belief that government, not your own wallet, is
where the money comes from. But I've come to the
conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right
over your heads.

So, I quit. I'm going back to Crawford.
I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al
Gore could only dream of) and the capability to be
fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of
Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm
done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it
again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age
before the last pillars of America fall.



Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting
too.

That means Pelosi is your new President.
You asked for it - you can have her. Watch what
she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer
of hope that there are just enough of you remaining
who are smart enough to turn this thing around in
2008.

So that's it.

God bless what's left of America .
Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you -
kiss my ass!

U.S. National Debt Clock

http://www.aflcio.org/issues/jobseco...bsoverseas.pdf

America's Total Debt Report - page 1 - by MWHodges

List of countries by current account balance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

8 years the republicans have been controlling the government and things have only gotten worse for every man, women and child. The only fucking thing they got right is lowering the taxes. They fucked up every thing else. I used to believe in the republican agenda of less government, less taxes and less involvement in the peoples lives. That never happened!!!! Now we have Patriot act which is a direct violation of every privacy we hold near and dear. More laws that favor huge corporations to gain the right to basically destroy people financially have been put in place for crimes that rival swiping a pack of gum off the shelves of a dime store. They now have more knowledge and control over every American citizen. We have become a society of people who owe more than we can afford to pay which makes us all slaves. Try to make it in society without student loans, mortgages, or car payments. Is it any wonder people think things are getting worse? The rich are winning and the middle class is slowing getting wiped out. Our rights are disappearing every day. Your freedom is being threatened and Bush has only helped things go in that direction. If they try to take away your guns you better be ready because I'll die before they take away any more!!

If Bush was quiting I would say good riddance!!! Maybe someone that has a clue might take the job!!

the middle class is disappearing in america i agree....we are going to be Russia in about 50 years. There will be those with everything and the rest with nothing. It doesn't help, though, that the democrats see everyone who makes a decent income as "rich".

Kind of sad when in California you can make 200K a year and not be able to afford a house..........i kid you not.....houses in the worst area of long beach bordering Compton are going for 450K out here. I want out desperately but i own a business here and my family is out here.

Actually JML- one of these days i may show up in Winkler for HDIC and never leave........cold as shit but at least there aren't any illegals and i can watch all the hockey i want....

One thing I like right now and that is Obama is against Nafta!!! That would go a long way to start cleaning up the damage this administration has let take place. (and the Clinton Admin) Unfortunately it also means higher taxes, and more liberal policies!! I don't think Obama is going to be beat at this point though and being the first black president he's going to want to make a lot of the right choices when he's in office. Maybe he can reach across the isle but his voting record so far is right down party lines. I'm not sure if that is by choice or if being in Illinois he had to vote those ways to survive.

lol owning up to anything is not in Bush's repertoire. Nor is the word: repertoire.

and whoopty doo, we know what Crawford, TX is. who the fuck cares?! the fucker spent more time there than in the White House, what does that say?

I honestly think though things look bleak, can they be worst? yes! can they be better? yes!

in the long scope of things, this country has seen worst, so all this bitching may be for naught.

then again, the history of the world shows, that not everything is constant.

this civilization is always compared to the Romans, and look where they are.

everyone has a peak, and unfortunately with every peak there is also a bottom.

what does this mean for us? jack shit. though things may be bad, will get worse, or whatever...if America fell, the world will still go on. thats just facts.

the arrogance of Americans have been well-documented and this to me is no different. Things are bad, can be better, and can be made better. Despite what we like to think, we can do something about it, and we will. So while many (including me) think Bush screwed us all up. Thank Goodness (God for me) that it was only 8 years, though the after shock may last longer, we have the right and the privilege to change that. Even if it means Obama, another freaking Clinton, or even (gasp) McCain, and though blame is ready and always laid to the president, we all know its not all his fault, but he/she can and will have the means to change things more than the average American.

Things can always be worse man. We bitch about all that tax we pay, but at the end of the day you're not scrounging for food or living pay check to pay check, or you know...

Sadly a lot of Americans are....

btw whoever wrote this..... isn't necessarily a bad person, but very good with words and very ingenuous at spinning various topics to fit the overall theme of the essay. Though most may be false, some may be true, or all true, or all B.S.




it still stands that Bush couldn't write this on his own, couldn't read this on his own without bobbing his head and squinting his eyes real small, nor could he make it through all 16 or more paragraphs without saying...."Uhmm".

now THATS the truth. (or at least as close as you can get)

the some is the 30% who still support this man, half of whom are probably family friends or richass oil moguls who benefitted from his help

and the rest would be 70% of the rest of America.

well this would be the standard 4% error or so polls have, so a few thousands off?

this thought from the same man who told soldiers dying and fighting in Iraq they are not Patriotic just because they dont want to be there? that they dont want to fight there?

Sorry Bo, I thought this piece was relatively funny, and interesting nonetheless, but now it actually could pass for something Bush WOULD actually say, the guy is hard headed, dumb and arrogant enough to spout such drivel
