Bush Waving
usatoday.com

President Bush, shown here waving with first lady Laura, will host a summit—probably his last—with world leaders to discuss the current economic crisis.

As if there was no better way to conclude the past eight years of the current administration, President Bush will host his own personalized going-away party: the world’s first “global financial summit,” where leaders will discuss the current global economic troubles and hopefully ways to prevent such crises from recurring.


BBC:

The meeting—the first in a series—will discuss the financial crisis and ways to prevent it recurring.

Leaders from the G20 group of nations—the world’s leading industrialised countries and major developing nations—will attend.

The winner of the US presidential election will also attend the summit.

The meeting, to be held in the Washington DC area, will consider the reforms needed to avoid another financial crisis and look at the progress being made so far.

Obama takes his hand off the bible, points to Bush and shouts, “Officers, arrest that man!”

I don’t think Calamity George should just go “silent into the Night” After the G20 meeting,where his effect on World economy will be the topic he should make the “Grand Tour” and visit key sites of his Legacy.

Oh, a last farwell wish:
I hope to goodness that there will never be another bush serving in public office and all the crap from prescott bush funding and money landering for the nazis, to senior’s ineptness running the country, to little w (who I doubt very seriously has an IQ of 125) and his monumental blundering and criminality of bringing this country down by placating to the corporations, to I know old jeb sure would like a couple of terms in the white house, to their youngest brother, neal or marvin, who was head of the security company of the WTC leading up to that attack.
Have you ever seen or know of a bunch of sorry criminal devious pieces of shit in your life? And would anyone other than the bubba necks want any of this cabal having any influence of the doings of the USA? If so, I would stand up and cheer when some one would finally blow any of these creeps away.

Hey,
With the political season in full gear and with this being the most crucial election in years, I decided to lighten things up a bit by turning the major candidates into Super Heroes via Kodak’s Make Me Super app at http://www.makemesuper.com. You can check out Super versions of Obama, McCain, Biden, and Palin over at: http://www.youtube.com/user/iLikePolitix. Vote for your favorite. It’ll be like an informal poll, and at least it’s kind of fun.
