"It really speaks to the strength of this country, doesn't it, that total strangers here in Ohio are willing to hold up people in Virginia in prayer?" he said.

My word this clueless classless person drives me nuts.

Edited to add, what gets my goat is that NO, this is not a uniquely American thing that Proves the Strength of This Country, but people all over the world are concerned about total strangers and pray for them. Quit patting yourself on the back Mrbush for how wonderful your country is. This is a humane thing.

1. that is literally the best he can do plus he uses those buzz words for his base.

[Ishoutandscream2]

2. I'm sure all Virginians are happy that Ohioans are praying for them

:silly: :wtf:

[Sequoia]

6. and holding them up at the same time. Prayer holders...wow!

Those Ohioans must have long arms to streatch that far.

3. Did he add "Have a nice day" to his list of sincere platitudes?

[Bluebear]

4. Yes, what an imposition. nt

[uppityperson]

7. Does no one else in any other country pray for total strangers?

this is NOT a uniquely USAnian thing, that is my objections. Yes, we should all be world citizens, but don't pat yourself on the back that this is an American Thing.

[Bluebear]

10. No, no they don't. George Decided it.

And THAT is what makes us GREAT! :eyes:

[uppityperson]

11. Exactly, we are better than anyone else, see? Great!

I am to the point that pretty much anything he says annoys me, so try to not read/listen, but then I do and argh. How did this person get this position? Rhetorical question.

5. Seems to me that if prayer made any difference, this thing

would never have happened in the first place.

[JuniperLea]

9. There you go, using logic...

:silly:

[Kutjara]

8. And as we all know, those prayers...

...plus about $3.95 will get you a cup of coffee (though probably not at Starbucks.)

[magellan]

12. Yeah, you would see that as a marker of our strength, you oafish twit

But the real strength of this country is found in its Constitution and the principles, hopes and ideals of the American people -- ALL of them -- no matter how you've tried to grind the truth under your heel for six years. And you'll never win. You and your fascist thugs will never turn the US into a theocracy full of pewling followers who don't question your lies. Eventually you'll go down.

THE INDEPENDENT SPIRIT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL PERSEVERE LONG AFTER THE BLACK STAIN OF GEORGE W. BUSH** RECEDES INTO DISTANT MEMORY AS A HARD LESSON LEARNED.

13. Only George W. Bush is amazed by this

because he cares nothing about total strangers. He seems to think it's exceptional. Just like he was recently expressing his amazement that people would voluntarily join the military in a time of war -- something he himself would never dream of doing.

14. correction: he said "dudn't it?"....not "doesn't it?"

the actual oral performance is even more stupid than the transcript

[uppityperson]

16. seriously?

[blitzen]

17. yep...here's what I posted right after he said it....

15. but we can't be allowed to see the coffins of the returning soldiers

because those are strangers that bushler doesn't want us to think of AT ALL. Out of sight, out of mind.

[KamaAina]

18. I'll bet even Frenchy strangers from France are praying for Virginians

right now.

So I guess that makes France just as great as Ohio, only without the Diebold.

So when are Bush**, O'Really?, etc., gonna stop picking on them?

[uppityperson]

19. Now now now, we don't want any of that. Only Amerikan Freedom Prayers (tm)

because we are special. I like that line: "that makes France just as great as Ohio, only without the Diebold."
