Thank you John Lee Pettimore. However, I hardly think a blog on wiki by a ranting right wing extremist counts as “The British Media”. Even a scurrilous rag like the Telegraph only publishes him in the form of an Internet Blog.
I think Kathyp should be more careful in her choice of overseas media. None of the papers I have read, be they French or British, would support her opinion of your President. Perhaps having an articulate, educated man as President is difficult after so many dark years.


I'm sorry I don't have a link, but this new guy is only articulate as long as the teleprompter is functioning properly. there's plenty of videos on you tube of his dictional meltdowns when the words aren't spoonfed to him.
be happy and make others happy.

This one is for you Bil

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need
a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press
conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how
he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men
behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to
take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W.. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of
GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you
have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of
the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive
and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a
thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an
iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought
this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would
you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to
the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as
a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the
5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he
tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you
have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as
proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant
a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying
low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown
Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether
they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
through out the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than
in  New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political
issue  with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position 32 or more Czars who
report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what
is happening in America, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a
major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do
so, would you have approved?

If George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which
had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you
have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within
10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent more than all the Presidents combined since
George Washington, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so
brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's
done all this in 10 months -- so you'll have 3 years and 2 months to
come up with an answer.

LET'S SEE HOW MANY OF YOU FORWARD THIS...

If George W. Bush had...

Those aren't fair questions. Bush was/is mortal. The One makes those mistakes on purpose in order to APPEAR mortal...
