[scarface2004]

Source: yahoo.com

President Bush, buoyed by a batch of economic news that wasn't as bad as expected, predicted Friday that consumers are on their way to better days. "I know it's tough times, and I know you're having to pay more at the fuel pump than you want," Bush said. "But this economy is going to come on. I'm confident it will."

1. What the heck does he mean by "come on"?

I really miss having Presidents who are fluent in English.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. He means that his economic policy is a come-on

One of those Freudian slip thingies.

[jmondine]

23. Maybe he means "come on" like an "on-coming" truck about to mow you down

In that case, he's probably right.

[Thor_MN]

35. I don't know, but I'm considering an umbrella, raincoat, hazmat suit, etc...

I know * and his ilk are motivated by money, I don't want to know what he meant...

[SunDrop23]

2. If that dumb bastage predicted tomorrow would be Saturday I'd not believe him.

[pleah]

3. Oh, "come on" and give me a break.

What a dumb ass!

[BeatleBoot]

4. The Bankruptcies of Retailers is an Entire New Wave of Grief

On top of the Mortgage Crisis

Automobile Market Depression

Gas at $ 3.70 a gallon

Food bills rising.


George W. = Shemp from the 3 Stooges.

[humbled_opinion]

15. Exactly why I can't wait for Obama ...

The things you mentioned will never happen under his watch. If only America had realized in 04 that we needed a Democrat in charge of the country then we wouldn't be in the mess we are today....

Wishful thinking.

[coalition_unwilling]

38. If only there had not been a constitutional coup d'etat in 2000 . . . n/t

[TomInTib]

5. "come on" what?

Is this a sex thread?

"Piss on" is probably more apropo.

[Trajan]

6. And you know how smart HE is ....

Sheeesh ..... You might think this is a fucking comedy at times ...

[stellanoir]

7. talk about out of touch

he hasn't a frigging clue.

[Mira]

8. I never did want to have a beer with this doofus. He would not ever

darken my door longer than a couple of minutes. How did we get into such a sad and utterly sickening fix? He is more ignorant and incoherent than a new born. I want to cry. This asshole a week or so ago was astounded gas may get as high as $ 4 a gallon.......

[liberal N proud]

9. Is that like bring it on?

bu$h acts tough with the economy calling it out.
What a dumb ass.

[TommyO]

10. The economic news wasn't as bad as expected...

except for those who lost their jobs, lost their homes, lost their cars, lost their life savings, had to decide whether to buy food or fuel, had to choose which bill to pay.

You get the idea.

F U W!

11. That Asshole Will Be Haunted for the Rest of His Miserable Life

with feeling the World HATE HIM... and for good reason too. I'm sure his paranoia is well intact. Most freaks like him were already wired that way.

[Joe Bacon]

39. No he won't

He really believes the rapture bullshit! He really believes Jesus is going to rapture him in a week or 2!

[LiberalFighter]

12. Living in his castle.

He can feel the pain of the ordinary working stiffs.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. "...I'm confident it will."

Which actually means "Not a prayer."

[cliss]

14. Was he smiling when he said it?

Laughing?

[mcollier]

16. Yeah maybe in about 8 months

What a clown...

[htuttle]

17. "Oh yeah...sevens and elevens...papa needs a new pair of shoes..."

:eyes:

[Bozita]

18. "Mission Accomplished" ... So, how's Bush doing so far with his predictions/hallucinations?

The market drops every time he shows his face live on teevee.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. "surge", "stimulus package", "trickle down", "cum on"

Strange choices of words to describe what Bush has been doing for the last 7+ years.

[SpiralHawk]

30. "Stimulus package! You rang?" - Jeff Bulldog Gannon (R)*

* The official George AWOL Bush White House male prostitute, with over 200 visits to Bush's White House, as documented by the official Secret Service records.

21. "And you can believe me, because I never lie and I'm always right"

[Hulk]

22. I think I'm going to throw up....

Please press....do the dumb moron a favor, and quit printing anything else he says. Just let him fade away.

He is such an idiot, and his statements are sad. They are so far from reality, that he's beginning to make Americans want to cry with shame.

Please....just let him go quietly. If he doesn't start another f*cking war, I'll be content to just let the little weasel slither out the back door. What a pathetic farce this sad joker has been.

And his daughter is going to get married?...and possible produce more offspring.....<vomit>

[TheWatcher]

24. It's Official.

Hoover was The Greatest Economist Of All Time compared to this piece of shit.

[Dover]

25. HA! I like this quote the best. It should become a commercial for the Dems.

Bush - "We have been through a recession, we have been through a terrorist attack, we have been at war, we have had corporate scandals, we have had major natural disasters," Bush said. "And yet this economy always recovers."

Yes, that about sums up the Bush Years.

[crimsonblue]

26. what will it come on?

will it be a money shot?

[Tab]

27. "Bring it on"!

God help us.

[cornermouse]

28. How much longer do we have to put up with the twit?

[jonnyra]

29. Heres the strangest quote:

"Interestingly enough, it is a lot harder to have been the son of the president than to be the president," he said. "And so it's been a joyous experience."

WTF? What the hell is he talking about?

I dream of the day when these creepy fucks names will not be heard. No one will quote them...they become unimportant. Im past hoping they get held accountable...I just want the sick bastards to go away.

[AngryOldDem]

33. Here's another, that was on VH-1's Best Week Ever

BWE had a segment on the correspondent's dinner. It showed a clip of Chimpy saying that there was "one thing he always wanted to do" -- lead the Marine Corps Band. And then they showed him doing exactly that, looking like the 5-year-old kid that he (mentally) is. (But to be fair, Bush looked like he was keeping time pretty well with the baton.)

The BWE comedian said that, gee, if that's all Bush REALLY wanted to do, arrangements could have been made for that during Daddy's term, which would have saved us all a lot of grief.

I'm glad it's been a joyous experience for him. For the rest of us out here...not so much.

[Thor_MN]

36. Maybe he means that the child of the POTUS has to cover up their own drug use

While the POTUS has an entire staff for that purpose.

[louis-t]

31. CNN was gushing yesterday...

"we only lost 20,000 jobs last month!!11!!1 Isn't that wunnnerfull????"

[LibDemAlways]

32. "I know it's tough times." Sounds like

a line from a poorly written movie from the Depression era. "I know it's tough times pa. But we'll be ok. We can put on a show."

He couldn't be any more of an embarrassment.

[lunatica]

34. Sometimes I wonder if his speech writers are the drunk ones

English is not his official language. What he means is that BECAUSE we are paying so much at the pump we'll come on board, right along with his agenda to drill for more oil here. See? Squeeze em till they give you what you want is his motto.

edited for spelling

[sutz12]

37. He bet the come.....and rolled snake eyes....

:shrug:

[poppysgal]

40. The little voice in his ear

probably was whispering to him again, they probably said"oh come on" meaning that even the public relations guys that feed him his cues don't even believe him.:toast:

[Supersedeas]

41. not as bad as expect and likely to be revised downward
