Bush is laughing & grinning & talking about nukes in Europe.

[Philosoraptor]

When he was asked about N. Korea's nuke testing, his face stretched out into a huge, ghastly grin like the grinch.

I shuddered at the sight of it.

1. He's actually taking credit for ending America's oil dependency.

Tell that to the oil companies he has lined $$$$$$$$$$$$ in thier pockets. What a joke this guy is. He is so delusional to believe he is a guy who has done anything for this country. Create a NASA-like federal agency to create alternative fuels and the public will be onboard.

[sg_]

2. He didnt sound too happy

when the person asked him about the US being the biggest threat to global stability!

[Philosoraptor]

3. Bush: "that's absurd"

now a guy is asking if bush will stop kidnapping and torturing people in Europe?

[berner59]

4. Some Austrian guy...

Rolling off numbers that the rest of the world hates the U.S....love it!! Bush says "Sept the 11th" was just a moment for Europe...it was a change for america...hmmm...those are fighting words Georgie!!! He's real defensive right now...ooooh hit a nerve!!!

[Philosoraptor]

6. His face is turning red and his voice is getting loud

what an embarrassment.

[jedicord]

16. As if no country in Europe has ever had a terrorist attack.

Or, like, massive bombings of cities.

He's an idiot.

[Philosoraptor]

27. Sept the 11th" was just a moment for Europe--has he heard of WWII?

A real son of a bitch he is.

I hope he faces more reporters with GUTS, and that some of our pick up on it, as if.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. He's getting snippy!

:evilgrin: And very defensive. :rofl:

[Philosoraptor]

7. ooooh, he has real anger management issues.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Yeah, he does. And that can be scary with a person in his position.

:scared: :hide:

[bdamomma]

18. bush needs a psychological and psychiatric assessment

he is a madman.

[flpoljunkie]

10. He's been incredibly defensive during the entire press conference.

What an embarrassment he is!

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. He doesn't like questions that are critical of him

and his decisions.

[bdamomma]

21. bush is a sick man

read this interview that was given by Dr. Justin Frank

http://www.larouchepub.com/other/interviews/2006/3314justin_frank.html

[cliss]

40. That's a great article.

Thanks for posting. I always love it when sane, professional people make a verdict on Bush: Crazy, crazy crazy.

[flordehinojos]

17. DEFENSIVENESS IS A TRADEMARK OF THE ENTIRE BUSH FAMILY.

From Babs
to Pops
to Junior
to Jeb
to Doro

they are the most darned defensive bastards walking this earth has seen in a long, long time.

[hatrack]

8. I'm LOVING it! More!! More!!

:toast:

[berner59]

11. no class...

He's coming off like the stupid cowboy they all think he is...

[bdamomma]

23. they are going to tell him to go home

[Jeanette in FL]

12. Look at him, slouching on the podium

That drives me friggin' nuts when he does that. It is clearly a sign of disrespect.

[hatrack]

15. Has he wagged his finger at anyone yet?

:evilgrin:

[kskiska]

19. And the way he prefaces his comments with "Look…"

Very disrespectful.

[TornadoTN]

14. He is quite the embarassment

I have made my calls to my European friends apologizing on behalf of our country.

I am very impressed with some of the Euro leaders. Quite refreshing to see some type of competent leadership and a press with a bit of backbone.

[npincus]

20. more info please- on teevee? Network?

I enjoy * live press conferences... see the manic maniac perform without his cue cards and telePrompter. You only get to watch it happen live-- our MSM scrubs all the embarrassing bits for mainstream consumption.

[Philosoraptor]

22. It's all over, but reporters asked some bold ass questions about Bush

As if he weren't standing there. He was utterly pompous in his performance, and utterly ape like. we are fucked.

[npincus]

28. Aw shit. What network? maybe they'll have a video...

[Philosoraptor]

29. I'm looking to find that shit eating grin.

It was right out of Dracula.

[cliss]

24. Isn't he weird? He's the strangest man.

Absolutely out of his mind. He smiles and grins at the most inappropriate times.

That tells you he does't give a shit.

[Philosoraptor]

25. Today's grin at the Europeans was very frightening & arrogant.

I know he grins all the time, but this one this morning was ear to ear and he seemed to morph into Nosferatu, leering with a sexual delight at the thought of nuking someone.

[Neecy]

26. very weird man

He always, always gives that strange leering grin whenever he talks about death or destruction. His eyes light up, too.

It's a completely inappropriate response for a normal person, but in line with the behavior of a sociopath.

[npincus]

31. Dr. Justin Frank comments on *'s performance at a press conf:

in a recent, lengthy interview with him titles "George Bush Is a Very Destructive Man; He Needs To Be Removed From Office". I'll PM anyone the link; I'm not allowed to post it because the article was published on a LaRouche site-- against DU rules.

What was most disburbing to me about that press conference was that he treated every question as if he were taking an oral exam in college. Every time he answered a question without falling apart he would be proud of himself, proud that he got through it. He would get sort of a twinkle. And it was as if getting the right answer were more important than the question itself. He completely lost sight of our dead and dying soldiers, of our dead and dying health-care system, of our dead and dying civil liberties. In other words, his goal is to get through a question and answer—not to understand what the question is about or to grapple with it. And that is not only the way children behave; it is also the fundamental issue of an alcoholic. He is so focussed on trying to manage his anxiety and get through what he does manage, that he acted gleeful. I just thought it was disgraceful to our dead in Iraq, to the seriousness of the questions that are being asked him.

The other thing I noticed, was that, at times, he seemed indifferent. His focus on getting the right answer and needing more time to think of one revealed how truly indifferent he is to his Presidential responsibilities. He was sent out by his handlers to fight back against mounting criticism of his policies and I don't think he's that into it. I think it's not that important to him. I think he's lost interest. It's disturbing: He's disconnected. The only thing that keeps his attention is worrying about getting the right answer.

I remember when I read to my kids at bedtime, that sometimes my mind would wander while I was reading and I wouldn't have any idea of what I was saying. But my kids hung on every word. I feel the press conferences are similar—that he doesn't know or care what he's saying, so he is comfortable saying just about anything. That means to me that he's completely tuned out.

[ms liberty]

34. Yea, I've noticed that myself...

although I usually say his eyes glitter - there's a hardness to the excitement in them when he talks about death, destruction, or anything having to do with war; or the pain,suffering, and subjugation of his enemies. He's got a cruel streak a mile wide, and I agree he's a sociopath.

[Philosoraptor]

36. No world leader stands there and grins like a ghoul and leers.

None, ours is the only one. Wonderful.

[truth2power]

30. I saw that ghastly grin in another context, I think,

a couple of days ago. He was meeting with some foreign dignitary or something. It was just bizarre. Like something out of a Stephen King novel. Cripes!! :scared:

Did I mention I think he's insane?


edit> posted before I realized you're talking about todays presser. Different incident but same weird behavior.

[Chomp]

32. Note to our American brothers and sisters:

Please be assured that your President has again draped himself - and his country - in ignominy, shame and ridicule during his visit here in Europe.

Sadly, it is becoming IMPOSSIBLE to separate the US from it's leader. This is the very sad but inevitable consequence of him being your Prez.

Sorry folks, but it doesn't matter that you hate him. It just doesn't matter anymore. He IS "America" now to a lot of people around the world. W = America.

The rest of us around the world don't care anymore that 51% of you voted against him twice. We don't care anymore. He is YOUR president. He is going out into the world and is the face and conscience of America.

Hate that thought? Tough. It's too late and the damage has been done. He has set your country back 20 years.


I know all that sounds harsh and nothing you don't already know, but I am very, very pissed off this afternoon after watching his press conference.

Rant over.

[Philosoraptor]

33. Sad but true.

It's to our shame.

[Jeanette in FL]

39. This justs makes me want to cry

But I know what you are saying is true. We have allowed this madman and his administration to sully our country's citizens goodness. Sadly most people in our country have no idea what has been done in their name.

I am finally at a time in my life where I could travel and no longer feel that it would be safe to do so. I wanted to go to Ireland to visit my grandparents homeland, but no longer feel that the time is right.

I can't blame the rest of the world for feeling as you do.

[Chomp]

43. If you're coming to Ireland,

just tell the guy at passport control that you're a mate of mine and you'll be fine!

Sorry, that rant was a bit OTT. Americans are a great bunch and will always be welcome in Europe (just as long as you make it clear whenever you meet a native, that you are NOT a Bush supporter.)


Peace and love to the righteous Americans!

[paparush]

35. Bush: "Here I am in Austria, and I aint seen a single kangaroo.."

[Philosoraptor]

37. The Austrian leader was in Bush's pouch for sure.

He was fawning all over Bush, he'll probably pay for it, but he was way too defensive of W.

Maybe he was using diplomacy, since our guy is incapable of it.

[Chimichurri]

41. LOL. I hope you're being facetious.

If not OH. MY. GOD.

[goclark]

42. Please tell me he did not say that :(

[paparush]

44. While he didn't actually 'say' it, I'm sure he was thinking it!

;-)

[MountainLaurel]

38. What a psychopath!

:scared: :hide:

[Skidmore]

45. Either he thinks he's on another one of those benighted charm offensives

or he is scared shitless. I read a research paper once about people who smile or laugh at inappropriate times. The research found that people who did this are trying to project that they are not a threat to the other in the situation. That would be plausible if this man where not a psychopath.
