W has failed in history, humanity, common decency, diplomacy, etc., but he will enjoy tremendous success by going down in history as the worst president the United States has ever had.  Good job, George - at least you can say you succeeded at something, even if it is a dubious distinction.

I go to lib and con sites all the time.  I must say, at least the con site comments are somewhat more spelling and grammatically correct than the lib sites.  Go figure.  Someone tell me this: Al Gore was VP for eight years.  What did he do for global warming while in office?  How is this country worse off now than then?  Many people accuse Bush of lying, but they are guessing.  Clinton is a proven liar, yet he gets a pass.  Why is this?

What a buffoon!  Its a crying shame that the American public voted this megalomaniac into office from Texas to the Whitehouse and to make the story even better Bush brings along Satan as the VP.  It just gets better and better. People get ready because the Right Winger liars and frauds, and juggernauts of intolerance are just warming up to put another disaster in the history books in 2008.

Come on Americans ....

you really can’t be that stupid ....

you surely have SOME means of using your Constitution to dig yourselves out of the merde .......

Do it nah ..............

I’m honestly surprised that Bush didn’t reveal fresh intel from the Senate Prevarication Committee that George III was, in fact, a terrorist who had indisputable links to the radical, fundamentalist IslamoFacists of his era.

Perhaps that would be a stretch, even for Bush.

It is offensive and hilarious to see Bush in a photo standing next to someone representative of George Washington, who would probably have ordered Private Bush to dig latrines.

He lies *in* Washington, and everywhere else - why shouldn’t he lie *about* Washington as well?  Hang for the fleece, hang for the sheep. (If only.)

Normally I don’t add my two cents worth when so many have articulated the point much as I would. This is different.

Geogre bush (how do you like my knew spelling of geogre?) is an unmitigated liar and pre-fabricater. He reminds me of Idi Amin. He lives in a universe where he sees himself as the center and therefore the truth and the way.

He is sick. Washington was viewed as the first hero of the Rebellion. He was not yet the first hero of America, as America didn’t exist yet.

Washington was regarded by the British as an insurgent and a terrorist. Having said that, Washington was indeed a man of the greatest character and integrity, a learned man. Had he been more like bush, we would live in a Monarchy today.

Two things are made obvious by his statements commemorating Presidents day. His daddy bought and paid for any degrees he got at Yale. He did not learn anything. He has a serious mental problem that will need medical intervention after he leaves office.

The man is delusional.

I keep hoping there is a limit to the asinine things Bu$h says but somehow he never approaches it. Just how many monkeys, typewriters and years will it take before he gives us Hamlet anyway.

“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”—Mark Twain

In our oh so politically correct society ANY opinion must be treated as valid. (except on the internet)

Maybe instead of beating a dead George, we should look at our system and see what tweeks it needs so we don’t have to do this again.

Marx wrote that democracy works until folks discover they can vote themselves money. Cheney Bush & Company may leave office as the richest political operatives ever.....Having voted themselves contracts which never expire.

...And you thought they were stupid!

Georgie Porgie made a mistake in comparing himself to GEORGE WASHINGTON, but won’t admit his mistake----it should have been Satan.

HE SHOULD OF BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!

I can believe that george bullshitter bush
would utter such nonsense on Presidents Day.
When one can kill people with little or no
fear for their own life, they are crazy and
evil. It’s easy to act tough when you have
physical and numerical strength.

I would love to see any of theses Bitches
or Bastards who support bush and bush him-
self, fight someone physically stronger/
more skilled at fighting, have no chance of
winning a fair fight and still engage the
bully. They would run like the inbreeders
that they are.

Since we are taught that life isn’t fair,
then anything goes in a fight, as long as
you get hit first. When it comes to your
body, you are God and and you can do any-
thing you want in defense of you body and
your loved ones. If you are a decent,right-
eous human being, you haven’t any need for
lying as justification for assaulting or
killing another.

Murderers like bush have to lie, its the
only way they can win. These miscreants
have no honor.

In his farewell address, Washington counseled Americans not only against “the mischiefs of foreign intrigue”, but also to “guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”

Who would like to say this in front of the cameras? Hillary? Obama? John? ...anyone?

“Idiot wind....blowin’ through the books upon our shelves....we’re idiots, babe, it’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves.” -Bob Dylan

Could it be the reason “It just doesn’t get any better than this,” for the self-medicated sucker-born-every-minute classes, is that it can only get worse?

HokaHey!

Hey George, clean up your mouth with antiseptic products. Your mouth was as stink as uncleaned toilet !

George Bush may be correct when he compares the Iraq War with the Revolutionary War.  The irony is, though, that he is too intellectually dense to realize that in this scenario he is Mad King George III.

He “ Flunked” every challange and responsibility that life gave him.

The 90% that supported this war should also admit’ they foisted a dangerous lunatic, as the Commander in Chief,over the greatest military in the world.

We deserve to lose the freedoms here, so that they have thier freedom there.

Washington wrote, ‘My best wishes are irresistibly excited whensoever in any country I see an oppressed nation unfurl the banners of freedom”

So perhaps, we are NOT fighting terrorist; we are fighting freedom fighters.

You think Dubya is dumb?  I bet he’s just as smart as the 30% or so of Americans who elected him president ... twice!  I wish CNN, WSJ, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, Zogby, et al would conduct a statistically representative and accurate poll with the following question:

Would you support the appointment of George W. Bush as President for life of the United States of America?

1) Yes
2) No
3) Not sure

How much do you want to bet that at least 30% of natural born American citizens would vote “yes” or “not sure” in the poll?  [Note:  If it’s more than 50% then we’re worse off than I even thought!]

Want to scare yourself some more?  Try approval/disapproval polls on “deport all 11-12 million illegal immigrants in the USA no matter what the cost” or “institute the death penalty for homosexuals” or “ban non-christian religious worship” or ...

George Bush he is, George Washington he’s not.
Matter of fact, if this were ‘back in the day’, I do believe that there’d be this uncomfortable sensation of a buckled leather shoe in his hip pocket whenever he sat down, if not constantly…

Whereas George Washington oversaw the division of the United States from Great Britain, and King George, this George would himself seemingly like to be king, and build the American Empire. Seeing as how we’re on the subject, let’s all leaf back through our 6th grade history books and review how that all worked out for em...oh, and for another thing, how is it that we pay taxes, effectively, to at least one foreign king? When’s the Boston Oil Party? Hmmm....

Oh boy, the father of our country being misquoted by Yosemite Sam.  My..My..My..My..My.

He’s flunked current events, might as well flunk history.
What a tragedy that this embarrassment to his species has the power to devastate so many lives - and that he takes so much sadistic pleasure in using it.

George Washington denied political party affiliation and indeed warned of their evils. He foresaw that partisanship did not serve, as centering on foreign interests did not. He valued American sovereignty and was a patriotic profit:

“Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.”

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”

“There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation.”

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

“Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.”

“It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.”

“Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.”

“Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated.

“I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.”
~George Washington

“Let no other G-dubya govern after me!”
(okay, I made this one up)

George Washington also wrote in a letter to Alexander Hamilton in 1796:

“The nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”

Too bad this wasn’t in George Bush’s book of quotable quotes as well.  Maybe he would have rethought his personal animosity to the Iraq.  Maybe not.

That’s ridiculous that Pres. Bush believes that our country’s first president would endorse his business-striven war.  Obviously, he spoke out against any military so strong that resists “republican liberty.” I believe that President Washington would find spending our resources on global poverty a much better means to securing freedom in other parts of the world.  According to the non-profit organization the Borgen Project, in reality only .16% of our federal budget is spent on development assistance, the least among wealthy nations.

You are Gorgious Gorge. Your my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy never stops does he. Is he making fun of us, or is he really that stupid? It’s no wonder that our country is headed to the scrap heap. Wake up America. If it wasn’t for the reality that our kids are being asked to sacrifice their lives for this idiots failed and criminal, if not treasonus leadership, I wouldn’t be able to stop laughing. Instead, a real fear for the future of Americas’ children comes upon me. We’re in-trouble no-doubt about that..

We all have failings and we all have successes and we all confront them in the mirror every day. Fixing what we can, when we can. Changing what we can, when we can. And accepting that which we have no control over. Such is the nature of being human.

Then, there is this man in Washington. This insecure ego driven man.

The man who sees no mistakes. The man who sees no need for change, or correction ... or even acceptance. The man who unable to grasp the simplest requirement of reaching out to others chooses instead to only recognize those who reflect back his own vision of himself. The man called George Walker Bush.

George Washington, the first president of the United States would probably not be offended by some George centuries in the future daring to compare himself to the original. He more likely would hold this future George up as an excellent example of why his budding nation should never have a King.

There can be no better example out there of how truly out of touch this new George is, than to watch him self propel himself back through history ... linking his name with a true hero.

There is no comparison.

George Washington led the fight. He took up arms and placed himself in danger. He felt a need to bring independence to this nation and wasn’t afraid to rush into the heat of battle. The British, who were the enemy of the original, named him a terrorist. Saw his determination to fight to the death if necessary to gain independence as nothing more than terrorism.

If there were one iota of ability to learn from history, that’s the lesson George W. Bush would have understood.

Goerge Bush lied on everyone else, might as well lie about George Washington.

Decider inhabits an alternate universe.

How sad it is when the president himself is ignorant of history. Uf Washington were alive today he would certainly not have gotten us involved in Iraq. If Bush was a Ceo of a corporation he would surly be fired.

Just when you thought he couldn’t disgrace this country any further…

To compare our nation’s struggle for independence to his illegal, immoral, lie-based war of aggression is truly a new low.

If people want independence and democracy, they will choose to fight and die for it THEMSELVES. You will never impose democracy on anyone.

Speaking of the “freedoms secured in our revolution”, has there ever been an administration in our entire history that has done more to attack civil liberties than this one? Our nation’s founders are spinning in their graves, George.

Bush comparing himself to George Washington is quite a stretch.

However, there are parallels between Washingtion’s time and our challenges today.

These are parallels that Bush didn’t mention and probably can’t comprehend. Or, at least, similarities that he, Cheney and their neocon and war profiteer associates don’t want us to think about:

- As in the mid-1770s, average Americans are realizing that a corrupt and power-hungry elite are robbing them of their liberty.

- Americans realize a change must occur and these corrupt people must be opposed and rejected.

President George W. Bush compared the Revolutionary War to his Neo-Crusader war on Islam (so-called War on Terror). Like the early Americans in the Continental Army, the Islamists in Iraq and Afghanistan are fighting against imperialism.

George Wasington or George W as President Bush likes to call him has a deservedly honored and esteemed place in American political culture.

Washington was human and shared many of the foibles, shortcomings and even serious deficiencies of his time.

But Washington’s great strength of character and personal integrity transcends these limitations and makes him a great figure of history.

It is an outrage to Washington’s memory verging on sacrilege for the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to invoke Washington’s memory in connection to the futile, unnecessary and brutal exercise our forces are conducting in Iraq.

Washington’s advice to us in fact was the direct opposite of GW Bush’s pathetic blather.

The Father of our Country warned us to avoid foreign entanglements.

You got that right. I almost hurled listening to such a piece of crap. George Bush and Dick Cheney are the most ignorant and treasonous Head of State that we have ever had in this country and we have had a few that were not bright, nor honest. The difference between this group of arrogant bullies and past incompetents, is that in past years the incompetents really wanted to be good Presidents and sometimes were, if only in comparasion to what was expected from them.

Bush/Cheney are the bottom of the barrel and eating thru the bottom.

Bush should be given a drug test. He’s either on them, or crazy.
I hope we can see some in depth examination of “Crazy George’s” budget proposals to cut benefits for our troops returning from Iraq. What I’ve seen so far is a crime.

Oh, shut up George.
