Bush Tries to Improve U.S. Image at Summit

[Barkley]

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (AP) - President Bush on Friday worked to smooth the United States' troubled image in Latin America, commending Argentina's efforts to improve its damaged economy.

``The economy has changed in quite dramatic fashions thanks to the wise decisions you have made,'' Bush told Argentina President Nestor Kirchner.

While not directly offering U.S. help as Argentina seeks to reach a new financial settlement with the International Monetary Fund, Bush expressed his support.

``His record is such now that he can take his case to the IMF with a much stronger hand,'' Bush said.

1. how - has he said he's going to quit?

Can't think of anything else that is going to work.

edit: can't spell.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. my words, your mouth. You beat me to it

resignation - the sooner the better.

[melody]

10. many minds but with one great thought - you both beat me to it

The only way to improve our image is to have the Boy King quit.

[hogwyld]

14. Too late!

Great progressive minds think alike. That's the only thing that the world wants to see. Man I pray to see his resignation speech live and on T.V.

2. Ya, cuz his "image" is in the toilet at home.

[Mountainman]

3. He will tell them some Rove prepaird lies but their reporters will

investigate them and report that Bush is lying, will our reporters will repeat Bush's lies over and over and over.

5. looks like his bullet proof vest.

Can you imagine being so hatred that you can not go anywhere whitout having to look over your shoulder or wearing a bullet proof vest because so many people would like to see you dead?

[Barkley]

12. He wore the same 'bullet proof vest' in his debate with Kerry

and still lost.

[Career Prole]

16. He should sleep in the vest...

Maybe a garlic bulb necklace, too.

[spindrifter]

6. He's the wrong guy to polish the image.

What a hypocrite! We have our own secret torture prisons. We are blind to global warming and deaf to the global warning. We are busy oursourcing our economy as fast as we can and making no provision for figuring out what to do with the shift in job needs. Our version of human rights is to figure ways of getting out of every possible protective international agreement we can.


You should have rolled your sleeves up, Chimpy. Show people you're ready to get to work. Or bring Brownie to prance around in his Nordie outfits.

7. Troubled image in Latin America? Is image troubled elsewhere and if so,

why?

[CoffeeCat]

8. Oh my gosh...look at the picture of his back!

What's he got under there, a vending machine?

Holey crikey.

[montanacowboy]

9. THAT CONTRAPTION ON HIS BACK

IS SOME SORT OF AUTOMATIC MEDICATION DISPENSING THING - HE IS ON SOME SORT OF MEDICATION, HE EVEN WEARS IT ON THE RANCH; THERE IS A PIC SOMEWHERE OF HIM IN A TEE SHIRT IN HIS TRUCK, AND YOU CAN SEE IT VERY CLEARLY

WE NEED TO DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT DRUGS THIS FOOL IS ON

[Bob3]

11. Relax - it's just his pez dispenser

His real medicine is waiting inside the Jim Beam bottle for him at the hotel.

Meantime - god has his posture gone to shit or what?

[lyonn]

15. It's called a heavy duty bullet/bomb proof vest

nt

[cosmicdot]

13. Bu$h mentioned Manu Ginobili of Bahia Blanca, Argentina???

"But Bush clearly sought to stress common ground. He mentioned Manu Ginobili of Bahia Blanca, Argentina, a star guard who has helped the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association win two titles in the past three years."

"'He's made a vital contribution to a basketball team from the state in which I live', Bush said. 'But he's also a good ambassador for your country'."


Well, all sorted then, right?



Meanwhile ...

"We're going to say 'No to Bush' and 'No to FTAA,'"
said Argentine labor leader Juan Gonzalez.
"We don't have any confidence in anything he might propose here. Whatever it is will only prolong hunger, poverty and death in Latin America."

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

[HockeyMom]

27. I got home from work

and my daughter put on my TV to show me the rioting. CNN was Breaking News, non stop coverage on it. Is the media FINALLY turning on Bush?
