No WWIII?
"Bush, Democrats trade barbs on legislative delays" by Terence Hunt/Associated Press October 18, 2007
WASHINGTON - President Bush, weakened by record-low poll ratings, asserted he is still politically relevant and scolded the Democratic-led Congress yesterday for having "little to show for all the time that has gone by."
[He still has the nuke football as commander-in-chief?
Yes, he is still relevant.
More relevant than the other political shitters because, hell, he's a dictator!]
Trying to shape the political debate, Bush used a midmorning news conference to lecture lawmakers about not completing action on any spending bills to keep the government running or to send him legislation dealing with education and housing, among other matters.
With his presidency in its final 15 months, his approval ratings at just 31 percent in the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll, and Democrats running Congress, Bush has little clout to push his agenda through Congress.
[I heard 24.]
He can stop the Democrats' proposals with his veto, however; Congress has been unable to override his rejection of troop withdrawal deadlines in Iraq and expanded stem cell research.
[Congress couldn't shit in a pot if you held their ass there!]
The House today is expected to fail in a bid to override his veto of a bill that would expand a popular children's health insurance program.
Bush said his veto was "one way to ensure that I am relevant."
[Yeah, and we all can't wait to get rid of your relevancy, too, asshole!!!!]
Take a look at the slimy shitbag slithering in!!
"President Accuses Democrats of Achieving Little at Capitol" by SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 — A year after he pledged to find “common ground” with the Democrats who now control Congress, President Bush on Wednesday delivered a scathing assessment of their performance, accusing lawmakers of dragging their feet on legislation ranging from trade deals and domestic surveillance to federal spending and children’s health.
[Typical of the back-stabbing bastard, even after the DemocraPs have let him pooch them in the ass!]
Mr. Bush, in his opening remarks at a White House news conference:
“We’re now more than halfway through October, and the new leaders in Congress have had more than nine months to get things done for the American people. Unfortunately, they haven’t managed to pass many important bills. Now the clock is winding down, and in some key areas Congress is just getting started.”
[So what? That's the WAY you usually do things, asshole!!
Like the end of August and the I.E.P. powers, jerk!!!
This guy is number one at one thing, though: BEING an ASSHOLE!!!!]
The news conference was timed to coincide with a showdown between Mr. Bush and Congressional Democrats over federal spending and a children’s health measure he has vetoed.
[I was wondering why he was out there yesterday.
They hustled it, because he was awful!!!]
At one point, the president complained bitterly that Democrats had failed to negotiate with him over the health bill, a different version of which had been advanced by the administration in its budget.
Bush, adding that he was using his veto pen because:
“We weren’t dialed in. That’s one way to ensure that I am relevant.”
[Look at this!
He's bitching about not being involved, while his craphole administration tells Congress and us nothing!
Whaddan ASSHOLE!!!!]
The remark echoed one by Mr. Bush’s immediate predecessor, Bill Clinton, who proclaimed after Republicans took control of the House in 1995 that “the president is still relevant here.” It was especially striking coming from Mr. Bush, who often insists, as he did Wednesday, that he is going to “sprint to the finish” of his presidency.
When pressed about whether he felt he was losing leverage on Capitol Hill, the president quickly disagreed:
“Quite the contrary. I’ve never felt more engaged.”
[Proving that the man is absolutely insane.
And did you see the grins, smirks, and shoulder shakes the guy was disrespecting the press with?
I personally got enraged when he told Martha Raditz that "you have the right to know" as if HE KNOWS what rights we have!
In other words: We have WHATEVER RIGHTS HE TELLS US!!!!]
On Wednesday, getting engaged meant dressing down Democrats, with whom Mr. Bush is at odds over a host of domestic measures. In addition to the children’s health legislation, he has threatened to veto at least 10 of the 12 spending bills that were supposed to have been enacted by Sept. 30 to finance government operations in the new fiscal year. And while he said he still thought he could find common ground with Democrats, he also took swipes at them for having so far failed to send any of those bills to his desk.
Mr. Bush said at one point. and then at another asked:
“I think it’s their fault the bills aren’t moving. How can you find common ground when there’s no appropriations process?”
[How do you find common ground with an obstinate dictator?]
The House is expected to try on Thursday to override the veto of the children’s health bill. The president predicted — and Democrats agree — that the effort will be unsuccessful. Mr. Bush said he was “confident we can work out our differences” on the bill, adding that “now is the time to put politics aside.”
[FUCK HIM! He NEVER DOES!]
Yet in the next breath, he offered a list of areas where Congress “has work to do,” including the budget, domestic surveillance, education, housing, trade, veterans’ care and the confirmation of judicial nominees. He finished by accusing lawmakers of meddling where they did not belong, with a proposed House resolution condemning Turkey for the mass killing of Armenians nearly a century ago.
Mr. Bush: “With all these pressing responsibilities, one thing Congress should not be doing is sorting out the historical record of the Ottoman Empire.”
[Yeah, but we had to impose the shitstink state on the Middle East!
Pffffftttttt!!]
The remarks were a distinct turnabout from the promises to reach out that the president made after last year’s midterm elections. Democrats, in turn, reacted angrily.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a statement:
“There is no better example of why Washington is not working for the American people than the president claiming to seek common ground at the same time he is bitterly attacking Congress.”
[So, WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT, Nance?]
A little more than an hour after the news conference ended, Mr. Bush and Ms. Pelosi stood side by side, shaking hands politely as they greeted each other at a ceremony to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama."
[Oh, that's what you are going to do, huh?
Unzip trou?
No wonder America is FED UP with HER, the lying bitch!]
"Bush Optimistic on Mideast Peace Despite Discord" by STEVEN LEE MYERS
[More proof the guy has lost his mind]
JERUSALEM, Oct. 17 — President Bush expressed optimism on Wednesday that the Israelis and Palestinians could negotiate a peace agreement as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice ended four days of talks here with a spasm of discord between the sides.
After what appeared to be a tense meeting with Ms. Rice, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, accused Israel of failing to take the peace process seriously by refusing to discuss issues he considered essential to holding the international conference Mr. Bush has proposed for this fall.
[Nothing new there, but the Bush is optimistic!]
Mr. Abbas, after meeting with Ms. Rice at the presidential compound in Ramallah:
“It’s impossible to go to the conference at any price.”
Israel’s foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, responded by saying it served no purpose to negotiate delicate questions about the future of a Palestinian state in public. She declined, when asked, to discuss Palestinian demands that any conference include talks on borders, a future capital in Jerusalem, refugees and Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.
Livni, voicing widely held Israeli skepticism:
“The idea is not to raise expectations that can lead to frustration and to violence.”
[Or make peace, either!!!]
The meeting’s timing appeared increasingly uncertain on Wednesday, with continuing clashes in the Palestinian territories and steps by Israel that Mr. Abbas’s spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said were “hindering the endeavor to reach a substantive document to go to the conference.”
[I bet it WON'T HAPPEN, readers! Just watch!]
In Washington, Mr. Bush did not respond directly to Mr. Abbas’s warnings, but he said he remained confident that progress could be made.
Bush, at a news conference:
“The attitude is, let’s work together to see if we can’t lay out that vision for the sake of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. And it’s possible.”
Ms. Rice spent an unusually large part of her time here meeting not only with political leaders, like Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, at a working dinner on Wednesday night, but also with religious figures, business executives and other civic leaders.
Her aides described the encounters as an effort to break out of the confines of diplomatic meetings.
A senior official: “You understand, given the nature of the jobs, everywhere you go you’re in a bubble.”
[Ms. Bubblehead in a bubble? Ha-ha-ha!]
On Wednesday, the secretary traveled to Bethlehem, a city hemmed inside the West Bank by the barrier the Israelis have built.
Ms. Rice, a daughter and granddaughter of Presbyterian ministers, visited the Church of the Nativity, built on the biblical birthplace of Jesus Christ, where she spoke of her own faith:
“I think I could spell Bethlehem before I could spell my name.”
[Can you spell APARTHEID, bitch?]
She added that a largely Muslim city like Bethlehem, which also includes Rachel’s Tomb, a sacred site for Jews, was a model for reconciliation. As she visited, Israeli jets roared overhead.
[Just a REMINDER of WHO is IN CHARGE!!!]
And here is the arrogant, psychopathic, mass-murdering shitlet in full blossom:
"Nuclear-Armed Iran Risks World War III, Bush Says" by SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
[Isn't that interesting?
That's the first time I heard the WWIII buzz words that were the story of MSM tv last night.
Now, HOW COME the papers are HIDING KING GEORGE'S MADNESS?
Especially Bush's NEMESIS, the New York Times!!!]
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 — President Bush issued a stark warning on Iran on Wednesday, suggesting that if the country obtained nuclear arms, it could lead to “World War III.”
[Yeah, and if they don't arm themselves -- which they are not doing -- I'll do it myself!!!!
WTF, he's the Anti-Christ, hey!!!]
Mr. Bush, at a White House news conference, referring to a remark by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that Israel “will disappear soon.”:
“We got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel.”
[That's DIFFERENT than saying you want to "destroy" them, you lying, misleading asshole!!!!
And he's not even in charge!]
Mr. Bush said he had “told people that if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”
[No, rather, STOPPING ISRAEL and not starting ANY MORE WARS will PREVENT WWIII, you maniacally insane shitter!!!]
Mr. Bush has said in the past that he would never “tolerate” a nuclear-armed Iran. But the comment on Wednesday was another sign that he did not accept a view stated last month by Gen. John P. Abizaid, who retired this year as the top American commander in the Middle East. The general said that “there are ways to live with a nuclear Iran.”
[ABSOLUTELY!!!
First of all, they just want POWER!!!
And even if they wanted a weapon, so what?
Who could blame them with all the threats they get?
Especially with Israel sitting on 400 of their own nuclear weapons.
So, yes, the world COULD LIVE WITH a nuclear Iran.
They are a lot of things, but the Iranians ARE NOT CRAZY -- unlike the Neo-Con NaZionists in charge of USrael!]
Mr. Bush sought in the news conference to make clear that his pressure tactics, including economic sanctions, were aimed at persuading the Iranian people to find new leadership.
Mr. Bush: “The whole strategy is that, you know, at some point in time leaders or responsible folks inside of Iran may get tired of isolation and say, ‘This isn’t worth it,’ and to me it’s worth the effort to keep the pressure on this government.
My intent is to continue to rally the world, to send a focused signal to the Iranian government that we will continue to work to isolate you in the hopes that at some point somebody else shows up and says it’s not worth the isolation.”
[Gee, is he talking about Iran or AmeriKa?
Because, the SAME CAN BE SAID HERE!!
WE are fucking SICK OF YOU, George!
Fucking damn sick of you, you mass-murdering war criminal!!!!]
The president was responding to a question about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, who visited Iran this week and warned the United States against military action there. Before that, in Moscow, Mr. Putin said he saw “no evidence” that Iran was trying to acquire nuclear weapons.
Mr. Bush insisted that he and Mr. Putin see eye to eye on the Iranian nuclear threat:
“We don’t agree on a lot of issues. We do agree on some: Iran is one; nuclear proliferation is another.”
["Me being an idiot is a third." -- Bush]
The president made his remarks on a day when Mr. Putin appeared in newspaper photographs standing side by side with Mr. Ahmadinejad. Mr. Bush dismissed any notion that the pictures reflected like-mindedness, saying, “Generally, leaders don’t like to be photographed scowling at each other.”
[Which means ALL THOSE PHOTO OPS of yours are BULLSHIT, right, George!
You LIE too much, man, because you can't get away from them!]
Mr. Bush has never quite been able to ride out his oft-quoted remark that he had looked into Mr. Putin’s eyes and gotten “a sense of his soul.” On Wednesday, he defended his brand of personal diplomacy, even as he expressed a wariness about Mr. Putin’s commitment to democracy.
Under Russia’s Constitution, Mr. Putin is supposed to step down next year, but he has indicated that he may try to keep his power by becoming prime minister. At a recent meeting in Australia, Mr. Bush said, he asked Mr. Putin about his plans.
“I tried to, you know, get it out of him — who’s going to be his successor, what he intends to do. And he was wily. He wouldn’t tip his hand.”
[And what the shit MSM never talks about is Bush staying around!
I watched the news conference, so I saw him pause a bit when the question was asked, then say "well, never mind."
Here's more:
Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there ...
Bush: I've been planning that myself.
Remember Bush joking about being dictator.
So, DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!!!
Then, in a galling display of chutzpah, he attended the DL ceremony!]
