Is Bush glad the Democrats won?

Question

Having dug himself into a hole that he can't ge out of, having admitted that he made a mistake in Iraq and fired Rumsfield, he will be glad to place the blame on someone else when things go wrong.

Answer 1

Actually, I think you're totally right. Have you noticed how stressed out the man has looked lately? He has really aged over the past 2 or 3 years. He is stuck in an unwinnable war, and he doesn't know how to get out of it. Now that his party doesn't control congress, he can blame all his troubles on that. He can ask congress for all kinds of wacky nutjob laws, and when they refuse to pass them, he can say, "Look, everything would be better if congress had passed the Give a Range Rover to Every Iraqi bill, but they rejected it, so you can't blame me!"

Answer 2

You don't seem too optimistic. You state"he will be glad to place the blame on someone else when things go wrong" Are you expecting the dems to fail already? Accountability for failure is part of the job. I don't think Bush is happy by any means but I do feel he will do what is best for this country. Remember he had to have the support from the dems to go to war in the first place. They need to be accountable as well. They say have a plan and I would like to see it. If it fails they need to be accountable.

Answer 3

Are you SERIOUS!!! He spent MILLIONS of dollars TRYING his very best to get the Republicans to stay in office, even though he HAD to have known he is screwed.
I don't really think he can even admit to himself that he has dug himself into a hole.
Try to picture this, you are in high school, and you run the school. You make all the decisions you want to, do what you want to, and of your decisions are backed by everyone else in the school. You are surrounded by your friends, people like you. You are on top of the world... so you think. Then comes a day, and you wake up, and your friends are no longer there, instead, people who are AGAINST everything you stand for are in control of everything else in the school. The decisions you make now have to go through them before they become a reality. All of the things you have fought for, all the decisions you have made are under close scrutiny by people who don't like them one bit. And to top it all off, you have NO ONE backing you anymore except for a few of your old chums, who are forced to endure the same scrutiny you are.
How would that make you feel? Do you think you would be glad it happened?

Answer 4

Do pigs fly? And really, Rumsfield is gone so that the democracts don't have a cause to rally around. Bush is trying to either 1. get his next guy appointed while the senate race in va is still being contested or 2. make democracts look bad by delaying the confirmation (which will be played as democracts being soft on national security.) Actually, it's a very nice Rovian tactic.

Answer 5

I can't say that he's happy about it. But the Democrats do have a lot to prove. There's a big stinkin pile of **** that's gotta be cleaned up, and if they fail in doing that, (which I honestly think is a task neither party can really handle), people will lose faith in them.

And if things go wrong, the republicans will blame the democrats and the democrats will blame the republicans. But if we go back to the root of those problems, one person you will find is Bush.

Answer 6

I'm hoping they've set the bar so high that they fail miserably. Like when Clinton said the troops in Bosnia would be home next week, a couple of months from now, six months....They're still over there, aren't they?

Answer 7

I don't know if he's glad, but he's thinking about 2008. Rumsfeld being canned? If that isn't a maneuver with an eye towards the next election, I don't know what is.

Answer 8

No, now we have some to check him when he tries to do something stupid.

it's less likely that he will get away with all the stuff he did before

Answer 9

Was this question a botched joke?

Answer 10

Yeah, he's glad, he's jumping for joy.
