Is this a speech Bush should give?

Question

I got this from a local radio station:

The Speech George W. Bush SHOULD give:
Thursday 05-17-2007 11:31am
Normally, I start these things out by saying “My Fellow Americans.” Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer.

I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there’s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people.

I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too lazy to do your homework and figure it out...........

Let’s start local. You’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that’s despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we’re mentioning minorities, I’ll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration. I’ve mentioned all those things before, but it doesn’t seem to have sunk in.

Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you do not understand that gas prices are high because there’s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy people are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don’t give me this “blood for oil” thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would’ve already seized Iraq’s oil fields and let the rest of the country go to h—. And don’t give me this ‘Bush Lied People Died’ ****** either. If I was the liar you take me for, I could’ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be ‘discovered.’ Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ‘Clinton’ established that policy. Bet you didn’t know that, did you?

You need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them.

That’s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don’t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That’d be fine, as long as they weren’t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. And they are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you’re not. That’s because you’ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I’m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of ‘Survivor’.

Instead, you’ve grown impatient. You’re incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat’s political campaign, well, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you’d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I’ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford. I’ve got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I’m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there’re just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America. Some of you know what I mean.

Sorry about the double post there....my browser timed out and I hit "submit" after refreshering the browser.

dumdum - your name says it all tsk tsk *shakes head*

Answer 1

Personally I would love to hear Bush tell Americans what he thinks of them.

We spend countless hours putting him, all his decisions down, and worrying about what he will do next, rather than just being a good AMERICAN and supporting the decisions made.

No one asked us if we would make the same decisions if we were in his shoes, all we are asked is to be supportive, and stand behind our country, soldiers and such.

Seems very few Americans can do that, because we are such a spoiled world, we feel it is our right to put down the leaders we voted into office, because, well yea, we know so much more. You know the saying "sitting on the outside looking in" - - you can see things differently than if you were in the hot seat.

Would be nice for a President under fire to just say "to hell with you people" and walk away - but see he does care, or he would have done this.

Think about it, and for those of you ready with you thumbs down, do what makes you feel best, I am not here to make friends, I am here like you, to just voice my opinion. I was asked, I answered.

God Bless America, Our Soldiers, Our President!

Answer 2

No. For one thing, he couldn't pronounce half those words.
For another thing, it's a bunch of lies. Hmm, so maybe he should say it.

"Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank."

It is. The housing market is in the toilet, there's a record number of foreclosures.

"Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration."

WRONG. Bush has NEVER got it back down to the level it was at before he was selected.

"I’ve mentioned all those things before, but it doesn’t seem to have sunk in."

People don't believe your lies.

"Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels"

People are speculating that we will soon have a Dem in the White house, ya think?

Gas prices are over $3.00 a gallon, and the oil companies are making record profits.

"We face real threats in the world."
Iraq was not one of them.

"And don’t give me this ‘Bush Lied People Died’ ******"

Can't handle the truth?

"You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. "


I suppose so, since you sent most of our troops to Iraq for no good reason. But you also allowed 9/11 to happen, and you have now killed more Americans than they did.

"You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops."

No, we think this war should never have started.

"Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. "

No, I voted for Democrats.
Every time you watch Fox News, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Republican’s political campaign, well, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

"In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. "

Or Fox, or CNN, or ABC, CBS, or any of the right-wong media outlets. And it CERTAINLY isn't coming from the White House.

"I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out"

Lie.

"even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching."

Your sympathy is so touching.

"So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford."

WOO-HOO!!!!!

"Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall."

Not likely, the way you accelerated that process.

"Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too."

WOO-HOO!!!!

"That means Pelosi is your new President."

WOO-HOO!!!!!.

"So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America. Some of you know what I mean."

Yes, that you destroyed much of it.

Answer 3

And 70% of America shouts with glee !!

Answer 4

I'm glad he can't articulate that kind of BS Kool-Aid that you want him to give to Americans. And the unemployment rate is "lower" than reality because then now stop counting you as unemployed after six months!!!! Deceitful, isn't it?

Answer 5

<>
he should only leave this in, if he is speaking to you.

Answer 6

I would pay him good money to say

"I have decided it is only fitting to give Liberals what they want so bad, abortion. So line up and we will stick a tube in your head and swirl up your brains"

Answer 7

Bush can give any speech he wants - no one is paying attention anymore except the far right.

Answer 8

possibly. However he probably shouldn't tell 80% of United States citizens that they are dumb and the guy with a c average in college is smarter than the whole country.

Answer 9

good job..you've outlined it well..only thing is..the average middle school student here can't relate to anything you've stated..
and are only here to impress their cohorts..and stroke their own sense of idealism

Answer 10

I like the I quit part....
