Bush "Asks" For $70 Billion More For Occupations

Including this little gem, Americans:

".... Bush also asked for $1.7 billion for infrastructure, social programs and economic development initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan under a programs designed to win the support of local populations.... "

So when does he plan to win the support of the American people?

Or does he just not
give a shit about us anymore?

"MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo.—President Bush said Friday the slow growth of the economy is "not good enough for America," but new rebate checks will inject some life soon.

"This economy is going to come on," Bush said. "I'm confident it will."

Oh, well, problems solved then!

I mean, it is not like this asshole has ever lied or been wrong about anything!

Checks of up to $600 for individuals and $1,200 for couples are starting to hit bank accounts this week. They are part of a broader economic stimulus plan that also includes tax breaks for businesses as an incentive to invest.

Bush called it "a robust attempt to inject life" into the economy that hasn't fully kicked in yet. His pep talk came while visiting a technology plant in this St. Louis suburb.

Overall, the economy grew at a meager 0.6 percent in the first quarter of 2008. That was the same pace as in the final three months of last year.

"That's not good enough for America," Bush said. "It's positive growth, but we can do better than that."

Bush spoke as the latest employment report showed a modest tick of good news.

Employers cut far fewer jobs in April than in recent months and the unemployment rate dropped to 5 percent, a better-than-expected showing. Still, the economy lost jobs for the fourth month in a row, the Labor Department reported a few hours before Bush's speech.

"The good news is that we anticipated this," Bush said of the economic slowdown.

He is SUCH a FUCKING LIAR!!!!

After he's been telling us how great things have been -- like he did again this morning!

Yup, "took a long time to get into this fix!" Well, WhereTF you been, asshole?

He said his administration and Congress—in a stalemate on many fronts—managed to agree on the package of rebate checks.

"You're going to get some money," Bush told employees of World Wide Technology. "Turns out, it's your money, but you're going to get it back."

I SAW him SAY THAT, hanh, hanh, hanh!!

The sagging economy continues to dominate Bush's final year in office. The president has sought to show he understands the concerns of families—and, at the same time, to pin blame on the Democratic-run Congress for inaction.

Yeah, the great "protector" who is looking out for YOU loves to point fingers, huh?

ASSHOLE!!

I firmly believe Bush should be met with chants of "ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE" when he goes places.

And it should NEVER SUBSIDE until he leaves!

Yup, he's headed out the door after destroying your house (our nation), but HE CARES!!!

A massive housing slump, a credit crunch and turmoil in the financial markets have combined to sour the economy and the nation's mood. Families are feeling the pinch at the grocery store and the gas pump, and many worry about keeping their job or their home.

Bush is counting on the $168 billion stimulus program to lift spirits and sales.

"It's big enough," Bush said in defense of the package on Friday.

Yet some Democrats in Congress want more relief to be provided, including additional unemployment benefits to cushion the pain of joblessness. The administration's view is that the current economic plan should be given a chance to work before another is adopted.

"It's time for President Bush to be realistic about the economy and start working with the Congress on a second economic stimulus package that will deliver real relief to Americans now," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, head of the House Democratic Caucus.

Addressing soaring gasoline prices, Bush said he understands the "pain" consumers are feeling.

How could this pampered, spoiled failure understand?

WE PAY HIS EXPENSES!!!!

He pressed Congress to allow more drilling for oil in areas where it is now prohibited, and to encourage the construction of more oil refineries—both familiar calls.

Bush, standing in the middle of a stage talk-show style, touched on a number of topics as he took questions from the audience.

"I've got a lot on my mind, by the way," Bush cautioned the crowd. "I'm getting ready to march down the aisle."

The president's daughter, Jenna, is getting married next weekend at the family's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Oh, yeah, that's important stuff to tie up newsprint with -- Bush's drunken whore of a daughter!

" the U.S. Secret Service had arranged with their Mexican counterparts to allow Jenna Bush, then 19, to make a barhopping trip south of the border. (She had just been charged with underage drinking in Texas.) "

How come she isn't serving in Iraq, anyway?

Asked about his plans after his presidency, Bush said "I'm headed home." He spoke broadly of promoting the power of freedom, a focus of his planned presidential library.

He should be headed to a JAIL CELL!!!!

Never a fan of discussing his legacy, But did get reflective on his time at the White House. He said after the good days and the bad days, he remains optimistic.

"It's a lot harder to have been the son of the president than to be the president," Bush said. "It's been a joyous experience."

NOT for the REST of the PLANET, asshole!!!!!

So this guy gets JOY from MASS-MURDERING, WAR-LOOTING OCCUPATIONS, TORTURE and the DESTRUCTION of an ECONOMY!!!!?

ILL!!!!

MENTALLY-DERANGED and a SOCIOPATH!!!!

Wake up, America!!

Your "president" is INSANE!!!!!!!!
