At 10:40, President Bush will keep his streak alive by telling everyone how much he loves America. Just as he always has.
And he’ll show everyone how much he loves America by preparing Obama as best he can for the next 4 years. He’ll do everything in his power to impart to President-elect Obama the seriousness of national security. He’ll do it with dignity and class as he has always done – to the absolute disgust of his political enemies. But now those enemies must stand with George W. Bush in loving America, when just yesterday they hated her with a passion.
And a dumb hick Republican will lead them.
I’m starting a new business making ”DON’T BLAME ME, I DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM” bumper stickers.
I will give you mine from four years ago, N.O’Brain. It is still in pretty good condition. You can use it as your template.
Do you have an “O! Shit” shirt from ’04 also? ‘Cause I’ll take it.
Let’s not forget about the “Buck OFama” shirts.
Yes, I have one of those. I have some “you gotta be fucking kidding me” buttons as well.
Here is an idea:
The Obama “O” sunrise thingy logo with an h and no next to it.
‘O’h NO!!
That would be kind of cute.
(Slaps my inner capitalist pig for helping you guys formulate pithy snark).
I loved Bush when 9/11 occurred. He acted like a leader. Too bad that was the last time he ever did.
Right now I feel like he just kicked me (and the rest of America) in the balls.
I felt better about this when I had not watched television. There was a bukkake fest on the network morning shows today.
I’m just gonna change the billing address on all my accounts to:
Government Teat
c/o Our Great And Dear Leader
Capitol Building
Washington DC 20515
I kinda loved him after 9/11 too Lost, even though I still thought he was a fucker. I was glad he was so steady and sure and unruffled. But he went right back to being a capering fool, alas.
I’m a great admirer of Bush for his class, his willingness to pursue the right policy despite great personal and political risk, his incorruptability and his leadership immediately after 9/11.
That having been said, compassionate conservatism was Republican rat poison and his infuriating lack of leadership on so much after 9/11 leaves me conflicted.
You know, Lisa, I think you need to explain something to your brothers-in-arms. That whole “We need to come together, put divisions behind us, and support the new President ” schtick doesn’t work that great when it’s immediately proceeded (or followed) by “now that we’ve gotten rid of that slobbering, chimpyMcHalliburtonBushHiter” stuff.
Perhaps you could clue in thor. I don’t speak “blank verse” or I’d tell him myself.
#9, Lisa.
that was 10 points answer, perfect.
That’s what majority felt, until the asshole -in -chief decided to be an asshole back again
I’m going to wear my “Don’t blame me I voted for Obama” T-shirt
I know I’m losing millions by giving these ideas away.
And along comes sashal to prove my point.
I’m gonna give ya’ll a big YOU FIRST before I give Obama my respect.
assholes.
sashal,
You’ve always been a dick. And you’re really the only one here with whom I bother to get personal. So that’s a testament to your great skill at being a total ball-less dick.
Way to excel at being a dick. It’s an American story.
Soon, legions of comedians will have to return to their former careers in the pizza delivery industry.
Loves America. Check.
Seriousness of national security. Check.
Dignity and class. Check.
Leading with your heart and not your head. Check.
I might just start watching Olbermann now just to see where he goes next. That is, if someone Tivo’s it so I don’t have to tune in to MSNBC.
And Obama and his appointees will sit solemnly in the attentive poses they learned while deflecting academic bullshit, all the while thinking to themselves, “Ah, gotta sit through this, just like SocSci 101, but this stupid sonovabitch doesn’t know anything, and we know it all — if you don’t believe it, just ask us. Just let it go in one ear and out the other, and when we get In There we’ll do it right.”
Have you seen this? It’s wonderful. Hopeychange to the max, bro. High-minded ambitions and absolutely no tools to accomplish them, because half of them are devoted to smashing the tools needed to accomplish the other half.
The single most disappointing thing about the Carter Administration was the quality of advisors, and to a lesser extent Clinton shared that — I said at the time, and stand by it, that you could have gone to any small-town County Courthouse in Arkansas or Georgia and rounded up the courthouse hangers-on and time-servers, and gotten the exact equivalent with different names. It’ll be the same here, only worse. A President’s advisers and Cabinet people have to be folks the Man knows and trusts, and what’s Obama got in that category? — hard-left Marxists (Ayers, etc.), Black Liberation Theologists, and Chicago Machine pols whose understanding of politics is that everyone’s on the take, and the job is to grab with both hands while keeping other people’s grabbers out of the till, sending kneecappers as necessary to accomplish that. Charlie Rangel? It would be to guffaw, if it weren’t serious.
We’ve survived worse — Useless S. Grant comes to mind — but that was in the day when people could go lifetimes without interacting with the Federal Government. Nowadays the FedGov is omnipresent; you can’t do a day without having to deal with it in one way or another, and it’ll now be in the charge of people whose entire understanding of sociopolitics is that if A has more pie than B, it can only be that A is a thief.
I don’t think there’ll be many Galts, but it isn’t necessary.
My only advice? — if you’re in the military, get out as soon as possible. I have an acquaintance who’s a Navy Chief; toward the end of the Clinton Administration she was keeping the electronics on board USS Nimitz going by buying parts at Radio Shack out of her own pocket. That’s about how this will go. Other than that, go ahead and bury guns in the back yard if it suits your fancy. It won’t do any good, but it might make you feel better. And the Wal*Mart smileyface party? Hmph. The whole point of “card check” is to unionize Wal*Mart.

Ric
“theres got to be a morning after”
wasn’t that the song that the band sung on the posiedon adventure
and we all know their world was turned-whoopsie-upside down
i just hope that in the scramble to breath
i don’t get stuck behind shelley winters fat ass
Don’t let the bukkake weigh you down, JD.
I was watching the Rockets game when the official call came in. The media-pro host got all beamy and high-pitched, trying to start a celebration, surrounded as he was by player-commentators (one of whom is famously deep in the Afro-heritage thing) he obviously thought were waiting for his cue to celebrate. They left him hanging and went on about the game. Saved my day.
People who aren’t in the bukkake business — or aren’t utterly perverted by it — know that who’s President doesn’t matter much. And “it doesn’t matter enough” won in a landslide, like it always does. So the majority remain un-insane.
(But also helpless. You can’t fight crazy. Just break eye contact with it.)
Psycho – you talking about Bill Worrell?
Sing it with me…..
It’s not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It’s not too late, not while we’re living
Let’s put our hands out in time
They wanted the keys to the store. Screamed and pitched a fit for them. Now they have them.
Gonna see what its like to make the calls and blow the calls. Ain’t gonna have W to kick around anymore either. I’ll say that about this time next year Barry is gonna have a “hey can we just give this thing we won back” look in his eyes.
By this time next year we’ll be gearing up for mid-terms. Its gonna be a short ride.
Capital flows do not like Obama. Witness the stock market. It may limp up for a few more weeks, then Buffett will wish he never owned stocks and Goldman Sachs will be bankrupt.
The single most disappointing thing about the Carter Administration was the quality of advisors
I was “out of it” enough to have voted for Carter, but not enough to be stunned when I started seeing his picks at the time. They cast the die, and so will Obama’s – which will no doubt not be stunning, Hugo Chavez included.
“to be not stunned when”, that is.
sashal never ceases to be a buttdart Bolshevik.
If George Bush loved America he wouldn’t have worked so hard to bankrupt it.
And it’s not that I impugn his motives, rather, I question whether George Bush has any motives whatsoever in his clueless fuckin’ head.
Bush is a good guy and if Iraq some how pulls out and becomes something like a oil-rich Jordan, he’ll be a sort of right wing Harry Truman…in 40 years.
The foreign policy issues wont seem too bad then, and more than a few historians and deep thinking docuhe-wads will earn some fine royalties peddling this contrary point. And then, long after many on this board are dead, it will be recieved wisdom.
on the economic front, with the spending (I know, I know, you cant seperate Iraq from the spend-gasm, but still…), he will deserve the chimpy Mcasshat moniker though. he reamed us. If you know anything about economics, well, he just sucked.
I give BJ a big AMEN to #10.
I believe Bush would have been waaay more effective if he had the support of Democrats on the war. As it was, he was forced to make compromises domestically (where the hell did that veto pen disappear to?) to fulfill his oath as CIC. The spineless Republicans took full advantage of the missing veto pen.
And W. Bush became the biggest scape goat since Jesus.

I am with you. He’s a good man who has been disgracefully treated by the asshole Democrats. It’s tempting to jump right in and treat O with the same disgusting behavior, but I guess after all I resist lowing myself to their gutter level souls.
Bush is and was a stumblebum fool, but good for him if his administration is facilitating a transition. God knows it’s needed. He’s no hick, and he should have known better most of the time. I was struck by the grace and dignified clarity of McCain’s concession speech. It reminded me why I really admire this old tar. Eight or ten years earlier, I would have been right on deck.
J. Peden hits a nerve. I just hope Obama doesn’t choose some of the slimeball advisors and cabinet members that are rumored. He has enough associate troubles as it is.

So, I’m guessing no H buttons will be ripped off of White House keyboards then?
And when Pres.Bush leaves on January 20 day, he will not hold a rally at the airport so that the screen will be split with Obama.
Nor will be ever criticize Obama the way that Clinton and Carter have assailed him.
He will leave with dignity having kept us safe for 7 years which is what he said that he would do.
Class act all the way.And I for one thank him for his courage in the face of mindless,
politically motivated attacks.If I were a Dem, I would be ashamed at the way my party and the media has treated this man.I will never forgive them.
