GWB, the underachiever, is now facing his own credibility as top executive of our nation.  Without a doubt he has caused the most damage to our national image than any other president of late.  An unnecessary war, screwed up foreign affares as well as national ones, orchestrated the worst administration in recent times, adapted an approach to all things foreign or domestic, with an attitude of a monarch, rather than a president with conservative values that would have enhanced the American image.  He deliberately chose to decieve all even if it would cause the death of many.  For one, to show his power as a president, and secondly, for political motives even if it contradicted our national and foreign interests.  Now with all of his short comings having been exposed, people crying out for his impeachment or worse, an obvious failure to say the least, he continues to play out the role as though he was right and the rest of us were wrong.  He fails to see any wrong doing in his previous actions which is a serious oversight when it comes to challenging the will of his own country.  The simple solution—- strip him of all powers on the grounds that he deliberately decieved the nation, our allies, and the world concerning the run up to the war in Iraq, to include, all those who helped him fashion this on-going farce, and hold each accountable even if it has to be by way of his new rules concerning habeas corpus while waiting for the evidence against them to be compiled.  What will this prove?  It will serve to show the world that we know how to clean up our act regardless of the embarrassment.  In particular, those who chose to abuse their offices for personal motives while serving in our highest branches of government.  The sooner, the better for the sake of our country.

Bush is a liar, of course.

Everything Bush says is a lie.

Bush and Cheney both belong in a prison cell.  As do most of the Republican leadership.

Nothing this fool does surprises me anymore.

I will say one thing for him, he doesn’t learn from his mistakes, instead he clings tighter to them.

If I watch too much, I’ll become very aggravated.

Several psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals have tried to figure out Bush and his associates.

There seems to be several kinds of psychopathology that are complex and dangerous.

This may be worth examining further:

He’s only keeping his options open.  His one option that is: bomb the bejeezus out of Iran so that he can play the war hero.

We have a nut case, fanatic on our hands.
He has declared war on the U.S.A.
and he sleeps in the white house.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Mitch McConnell and his fellow Nazis
have caused the death of Americans
and others in Iraq today.

We didn’t send you to Washington to kill people .
We sent you to Washington to fix taxes.

To tell you the truth, I got most of the way through his press conference, and had to stop.  It was one of the worst examples of mind-numbing dribble I’ve ever heard from that podium.  Aside from being confused out of my mind by how he jumbled verbs, tenses, articles, into a cocktail that literally made no sense at times, it is downright offensive to hear him say repeatedly, “In other words,” as if he was speaking at too high a level for the average person to comprehend.  It was painful! 

Well, at least there’s a “non-binding resolution” coming that really has teeth!  Well, sore and bleeding gums, anyway.

Bush isn’t getting any better at lying. And I think the press are getting a little better at asking questions.

I’m just waiting for that final meltdown, when he goes completely and totally nuts on camera.

First off, anytime Bush opens his mouth you can bet he’s lying. Second, with all we know about him and his administration’s falsehoods leading up to the Iraq invasion, third, when 70% plus of the people of this country believe he’s a major detriment to the peace of the world, how in hell is he still in the office of President of the United States? Does Damian really exist?

At this point, who believes anything Bush says? Can he be trusted? NO!

The man is mentally unbalanced and needs help. Laura, daddy, mommy, siblings, anyone? Mental illness is not a crime! Besides, simply declaring it publicly could give him an out - otherwise, impeachment is the only remedy to his stream of lies and phony bravado.

What a great valentine’s day gift.  It’s great to see someone ask Bush about his credibility.  I hope it happens more often.

It’s time for the House of Representatives to “Do Something About IT” and remove this jackass from office. It is the only way to prevent a war with Iran and end the war on Iraq. Get rid of him and the shadow president (Cheney) as well. The survival of our nation depends on it.
