And judging by the reports, I'm glad I didn't.
I don't watch MSM news anymore, readers.
That's why I missed the insane asshole.
"Bush Criticizes Democrats Running for President on Trade, Iraq and Cuba, but Not by Name"
".... Bush reserved his harshest comments for Mr. Obama’s recent statement that... made reviving American diplomacy a centerpiece of his foreign policy agenda, saying he believes it is “important for the United States not just to talk to its friends but also to talk to its enemies.”
Why I now like Obama: BARACK OBAMA ~~ A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS
.... Bush... at the news conference, let loose with a spirited monologue when asked what would be lost by doing so.
Mr. Bush, in reference to Mr. Castro, his voice growing louder as he paced about behind the lectern:
“What’s lost by embracing a tyrant who puts his people in prison because of their political beliefs? What’s lost is it will send the wrong message. It will send a discouraging message to those who wonder whether America will continue to work for the freedom of prisoners. I’m not suggesting there’s never a time to talk, but I’m suggesting now is not the time — not to talk with Raúl Castro. He’s nothing more than an extension of what his brother did, which was to ruin an island, and imprison people because of their beliefs.”
Gee, if the New York Times noticed all the ticks and skittishness it must have been awful to be in there!
As for prisoners, you are the champ Bush!!!

"Bush urges Congress to pass wiretap bill"
"by Johanna Neuman, Los Angeles Times | February 29, 2008
WASHINGTON - President Bush yesterday urged Congress to pass legislation that would give telecommunications companies immunity from class-action lawsuits for cooperating with US intelligence services in monitoring terrorist communications.
"Allowing these lawsuits to proceed would be unfair," Bush said at a White House news conference. "If any of these companies helped us, they did so after being told by our country their assistance was legal."
Noting that the litigation process could lead to the disclosure of surveillance techniques and make other countries less likely to cooperate with US intelligence services, Bush said: "You cannot expect phone companies to participate if they feel like they're going to be sued. It's patently unfair."
Without impugning the motives of those seeking to sue, Bush said he suspected "they see a gravy train," and urged House leaders to act so calls to the United States from overseas can be monitored.
Sort of like what the Iraq war is to you and your war-profiteering buddies, right, shitter?
"There are enough votes in the House to pass this bill," Bush said. "House leaders need to put the bill on the floor and give professionals the tools they need." Noting that phone companies are less likely to cooperate without protections, Bush said: "They're facing billions of dollars of lawsuits. They have a responsibility to their shareholders."
And BUSH CARES MORE ABOUT THAT than PROTECTING US!!!
I am so tired of this LYING SHIT-FUCK SHITTER!!!!!!!!
Oh, and by the way Bush's Wiretapping Began BEFORE 9/11!! and the New York Times Admits Bush Administration Spying Began in December of 2000... BEFORE TAKING OFFICE!
Furthermore, 9/11 was a CIA/Mossad INSIDE JOB!!!!
So FUCK YOUR FRAUD of a WAR, shit fucker!!!!!!!!!
On Iraq, Bush called on Congress to fund US troops and chided critics for not acknowledging progress there. "When things were going badly, they called for withdrawal," he said, noting that since the surge in US troops, casualties are down and political leadership has begun.
So when things are going badly, it is more troops.
When they are going well, it is NO WITHDRAWAL.
We are NEVER LEAVING Iraq, Americans, so get ready to send your kids there next year!
On Russia, Bush defended his relationship with outgoing President Vladimir V. Putin, saying that the United States needs an open dialogue with Russia, even on occasions - such as the recent move toward independence in Kosovo - when they disagree.
"We've had some serious head-butts," he said. Acknowledging that he knows little about Putin's hand-picked successor, Bush said whoever is the next US president will need "a working relationship with Russia."
Asked about Senator Barack Obama's statement that he would be willing to talk to leaders with whom the United States disagrees, Bush said that "embracing tyrants" like Cuba's Raúl Castro "sends the wrong message" and "a discouraging message" to human rights activists struggling against totalitarian regimes."Actually, it helps dissident movements if we remain as far away from them as possible now, lest they be seen as a U.S. TOOL!!!!
So there goes the crazy fuck LYING AGAIN!!!!!
And how come the LA Times didn't refer to how uncomfortable Bush was up there?
Why does the MSM shield this guy from scrutiny, readers?
Oh, now comes the CIA agent at the CIA newspaper to clean things up for Bush.
"Lame-duckhood may have taken hold of administration"
"by Dana Milbank, Washington Post | February 29, 2008
Just like a CIA man to put out disinformation.
I don't get that feeling at all!
WASHINGTON - The bulletin reached President Bush toward the end of his news conference yesterday.
Peter Maer of CBS News Radio asked what seemed to be a straightforward question. "What's your advice to the average American who is hurting now, facing the prospect of $4-a-gallon gasoline"
"Wait, what did you just say?" the shocked president interrupted. "You're predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline?"
"A number of analysts are predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline," Maer explained.
You could've knocked Bush over with a feather.
Translation: He got ANGRY at the question!!
"Oh, yeah?" he said. "That's interesting. I hadn't heard that."
Uh-oh. The president, once known for his common-guy skills, sounded eerily like his father, who in 1992 seemed amazed to discover that supermarkets had bar-code scanners. On Wednesday, the $4-a-gallon forecasts had been on the front page of The
Like that elite frat-boy of privilege ever was a common guy.
Just keep shoveling, Milbank!
And he doesn't read the papers.
How embarrassing!
I have something in common with Bush!
The president, however, had difficulty grasping the possibility, even after Maer told him. "You said the price of gasoline may be up to $4 a gallon, or some expert told you that," Bush repeated. "That creates a lot of uncertainty."
Why should he?
WE ARE PAYING HIS BILLS!!!!!!
Bush, too, faces a lot of uncertainty, and not of the petroleum-derived variety. In these waning months of the Bush presidency, Congress is increasingly ignoring his ultimatums. Reporters have left him for the campaign trail. And Bush at times seems to be lacking his killer instinct
Shovel, shovel, shovel!!!!!
At yesterday's session, NBC's David Gregory invited him to criticize Democratic presidential candidates for not knowing much about the expected new Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev.
"I don't know much about Medvedev, either," Bush replied.
Did Bush make Gregory do a jig with Rove, too?
Olivier Knox of Agence France-Presse asked Bush why he was going to the Olympics in China despite the country's human rights record.
"I'm a sports fan," the president reasoned.
Oh, the HUMAN RIGHTS don't matter when it comes to SPORTS, huh, ASSHOLE!?!!!!!!
What a FUCKING SHIT-FUCK SHITTER he is!!
GO AWAY, bush!!!
Just GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE FOREVER, will ya?
Fact is, people should be BOYCOTTING HIM!!!!!
And when Michael Abramowitz of The
Readers, the guy is MENATALLY UNBALANCED and ALL the REPORTERS must KNOW IT!!!
Then WHY WON'T THEY TELL US, readers, and WHAT MORE are they HIDING about Bush (drinking)??
But is the country listening? The White House had limited attendance at the news conference to one reporter per news outlet, but this proved unnecessary; there were two rows of empty seats in the back.
The president got quickly to his familiar lines about the Democrats' weaknesses on terrorism: "We cannot protect our country from terrorist attack." But when Fox News's Mike Emanuel tried to provoke Bush by asking whether Democrats "are playing a high-stakes game" with the nation's security, Bush pulled back. "No, I don't think so," he said. "I don't think they're that cynical or devious."
But HE IS!!!
Anyone who is involved in the INSIDE JOB of 9/11 and the cover-up is DEVIOUS!!!!
Neither did he seem concerned by Gregory's accusation that he "badly misjudged" Russia's president, Vladimir V. Putin ("We've had some head-butts, diplomatic head-butts"), or the suggestion by Ken Herman of Cox News that he would take foreign money for his presidential library ("Yes, probably take some foreign money"). Even the lack of a replacement for his top homeland security adviser, who resigned more than three months ago, caused him no worry.
"We got a fine man named Joel Bagnal working that office right now," Bush said."Well, if he's not that into it, we had better not get "attacked" any time soon.
Otherwise, the RESPONSIBILITY will be ALL HIS!!!!!
And how is his disinterest any different than when he first came?
Except that it is "news" NOW?
Pfffffffftttt!
