President Bush will be in New York City tomorrow for a Veterans Day ceremony on the newly-reopened USS Intrepid. The president is expected to present the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Peter Cea, who has logged more than 700 volunteer hours on behalf of the museum and directly helped refurbish nine different aircraft on exhibit, according to the White House Press office. The event is the president’s only scheduled stop in the area.

President Bush:
Please go away.
You have been the worst public relations disaster as a Republican president in 76 years, a man who cost all of us Republicans in New York by his having been the least articulate president in recent history: please, PLEASE!, stay away.
The damage is done.
In a a better world, John McCain would be finishing his second term in office, and our world would be at peace. But the ignorant sheep voted you in, in the 2000 primaries.
Instead, you—the moron son of the intelligent father—are finishing YOUR second term in office, during which you destroyed my Republican Party. Because you are a bonehead.
It will take ten years to repair the damage done by you, GWB, over the past four years.
I only wish you were as funny in real life as Frank Caliendo’s parody of you.
Please, President Bush: go back to Texas.
I have NEVER before criticized another Republican president in my life. And that includes Nixon, and Hoover.
According to the New York Observer it will be Fmr. President Bush (George H.W. Bush) who will in NYC tomorrow. Not current President Bush (George W. Bush).
In that case, one might surmise he will have to present the “Kennebunkport Thousand Points of Light Read My Lips No New Taxes Volunteer Service Award.”
Which, of course, is of a significantly higher order than the “I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman Volunteer Service Award.” As Bill said to the pilot while touching a jet on the flight deck of the Intrepid, “I feel your plane.”
very funny ed 1…a good laugh in the morning is welcomed
I did however like bush 41 lots better than bush 43..
All jokes aside; I have the press release right in front of me from the White House and it’s George W. Bush who will be here. I think it’s the Observer that needs to make the correction.
Cheers,
Liz Anderson
As usual, Liz, you are correct. It is little Georgie. I give him credit for coming to the Intrepid ceremony. Despite all, always thought he meant well and was a man of principle. Problem is he and his cohorts seemed to run the country for 8 years like they was running a campaign rather than a nation, confusing “pro-market” with “pro-business.” The Democratic Congress, however, has a lower rating even than W. They would be wise not to gloat and to reconsider their own failings. All of them have somehow managed to hijack the nation from the owners of the nation (us), just like like the Corporate CEOs, have hijacked the firms from the stockholders.
for those who want a funny and accurate take on the
fall of conservatives from grace go to:

it is by PJ O’Rourke writing for the weekly standard
and it is righj on the nose
In a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday, 59 percent of those questioned think that Democratic control of both the executive and legislative branches will be good for the country, with 38 percent saying that such one-party control will be bad. View the public’s view of the parties »
“That much good will from the public opens a window of opportunity for the Democrats,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. “But the public expects results and may not listen to excuses for very long if a Democratic Congress and a Democratic White House can’t get their act together in time.”
The poll also suggests that the public has a positive view of the Democratic Party, with 62 percent having a favorable opinion and 31 percent an unfavorable opinion.
That is not the case for the Republicans, with a majority, 54 percent, having an unfavorable view of the GOP and 38 percent holding a positive view.
“The public has a positive view of the Democratic Party, while the GOP ‘brand’ is hurting. Overall views of the Democratic Party have gone from 53 percent favorable in October to 62 percent favorable now; the GOP overall has seen a 5-point drop in its favorable rating,” Holland said.
Thank you consultant for P.J.’s Weekly Standard article-he’s a great guy and always spot on.
Why then does Congress have a 9% approval rating? Nine, as in under ten percent! Somebody’s got their figures skewed.
This is not bad advice, unlike a lot I have come across.
I never thought I would utter these words but I miss President Bush!!
Obama has been nothing but a disaster so far…...
Change? Not the change I wanted…..
you need to give the new president a chance…the massive
economic issues we face are not going to be solved
instantly..so at least wait until the stimulus package
has a chance to work..Bush was not the guy to deal with
the problem…if it doesn’t work out..then you are
entitled to criticize all you want.,..but I bet you
didn’t like it when the dems jumped all over bush
so rather than payback…sit back and be patient
The stimulus package does NOTHING to address the credit freeze or what’s wrong with the banks. Nothing. For one of many columns about all this, read Michael Goodwin, a moderate Democrat, under Opinions in today’s New York Daily News.
Obama and his team are clueless. Give them a chance at what? They have no plan. Massive spending on “green ideas,” schools and the like are nothing but payback to the unions, including the teachers unions, and weirdos in the environmental movement—whose god is a Greenie called “Mother Earth.” It’s like a religion to some of those crazies.
in order to level effective criticism..that is criticism
which will result in better economic policies..we have
to wait until the present ones don’t work..otherwise
just saying no doesn’t resonate with voters
Are there those who still think the school systems WORKS, considering the paltry results after the bazillions of federal, state, and personal property taxes thrown at them? Always remember, our best and brightest, our most “educated” got us into this mess through outright greed and a faulty understanding of, or total disregard for, any ethic except self-aggrandizement. Many of those who pretend to attempt to correct this convoluted thinking, wish only to apply a variant of those shabby “ethics” to promote and satisfy their OWN brand of greed and faulty understanding of economics. The rest can’t read or reason, and imagine, fools that they are, that the government, itself, creates wealth. Since we, as a nation, can’t find anything to agree upon that touches even remotely on fairness or ethics, we have delivered the country to a generation of legislative socialists who will inadvertently save capitalism by flooding us with unbacked capital, leading to an inevitable tsunami of inflation.
The billions of dollars thrown at the public school systems in America over the decades have added up to overall failure. The school systems in many of the big cities are worse than ever.
More and more money for the schools, in the form of higher and higher taxes, only benefits the education bureaucracy. That means teachers unions and administrators. It’s time the “regular citizens” woke up to this scam. Even Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a well-regarded Demcocrat, wrote about this hustle long ago. He saw it then.
Ditto for the “green movement.” It’s another scam.
I don’t think a single Liberal program since the Peace Corps has worked. How’d that “War on Poverty” go? How about the “Great Society?” And on and on. All failures.
Obama is Jimmy Carter II. “Welcome Back, Carter.”
And to the Consultant, the Obama plan cannot work. You can’t bail out a boat with a fork. It is as simple as that.
Those with brains (and lucky enough to be in cash,) can look forward to investing in 10% certificates of deposit before too very long. That is the inevitable result of this mass governmental production of less and less valuable greenbacks.
And speaking of ethics, the Guv recommended (late Friday, of course so that it would be buried, old news by Monday morning) the dissolution of the State Investigation Committee. Not that they did anything, anyway in the past thirty years – in fact they were stacked with loyalists and appointees and perpetually and nefariously politically road-blocked from the very investigations they were supposedly charged with pursuing. So, another tribute to governmental “ethics” in our great” state. And the beat goes on.
George W. Bush ruined this country, and he left the White House with a mess nobody can clean up. When George W. Bush moved out, there is nothing left, all Obama’s men can’t put America back together again.
You’re talking about the one guy among all of them who actually HAD ethics, if little else.
