Why does G Bush say 'nuclular'.?

Question

My friend told me that to become president of the US it is a legal or constitutional requirement to be brain-dead. Is this true ?

Hi bigdog & groundhog - are you blokes saying you fancy me ?

Answer 1

Bush is brain dead,an you sure look good lady

Answer 2

He says nucular for the same reason that Lyndon Johnson said nucular: it's a Texas thing. I'm assuming you've never heard of Lyndon Johnson, but when you get to high school you'll hear all about him. He was one of of presidents during the 1960's, which is well before you were born.

Your friend lied to you about a legal or constitutional requirement to be brain-dead to be president, so there goes you hopes for that. Sorry to be the one to tell you.

The requirements to be president of the U.S. are that you must be at least 35 years of age and born in the U.S., not a naturalized citizen. Again, in high school they'll go over all of this with you.

Hope this helps.

Because he has his finger on the button ... and if he says its 'nuclular' ... then it IS 'nuclular'... capeesh?

Ever heard of federalists and anti-federalists? According to one professor at a small community college. Federalists are those who are in power and have final and only say (opinion). Anti-federalists are those who may or may not have control; but, they are less bureaucratic minded.

Federals say, "You may NOT build a spaceship in your backyard."

Anti-federalists say, "Oh, yes, I can; it's a beauty, too!"

OR ... perhaps it is simply a way to discern him from the others who look similar to him. And, why the topic is so often broached. It helps to distinguish him from imposters who otherwise have the looks and money to travel abroad with enough brasseness to speak with officials of other nation's due to their lack of familiarity with him. If he (Pres. Bush) said it the way everyone else does, they might hold him for questioning or worse!

And, who says it is 'New Clear' ? How was the pronounciation determined in the first place? It had to be after Einstein; and, since he was germanic, there is an equal possibility that it WAS and still should be pronounced 'New Clue Lar'.

As far as I know, there is no legal nor constitutional basis or requirement to be brain-dead...however, it probably helps to be slightly numb from the neck up during pressurized and televised interviews with journalists who pick on personal trait differences such as 'how we pronounce words that are rarely pronounced by anyone else.' How often in a days time does one "hear" the word nuclear OR "brain-dead"?

I almost suggested that you make the inquiry of him instead of the Yahoo!Answers group. Only he knows why he does what he does. However, he probably has more pressing issues at hand than to explain to you 'why' he does anything...much less tongue articulation during the vocal exercise of speech of the word nuclear.

One either comprehends what is said, accepts it, and goes on listening... OR one lacks comprehension skills or ability.
Now with that in mind... did you hear what he said? did you understand what he meant? Now that's communication!

Answer 4

I think a lot of his "Texas accent" and poor speaking style are put-ons he uses to distract people from the life of total privilege into which he was born. There's no way they would have let him through Philips Academy talking like that.

Answer 5

Even if Bush says it the way he said it, it is only obvious that you understood him clearly. Or you wouldn't be SO DUMB to waste TEN POINTS on this stupid question. But, as usual democrats often take you by surprise. Go to bed cutey...better yet sign on with Flavor of Love III. Tigger....lol! Sorry - but that is just too frikin funny to not say anything about it.

Answer 6

I think you have to be brain dead to be your friend.

Bush has degrees from Harvard and Yale. I wish I were that brain dead.

If Bush is so brain dead, then how has he been able to 'steal' two elections away from those supposedly smart Democrats?

Me thinks you are another who underestimates the brilliance of one George W Bush.

Speaking of George's - are you related to Boy George?

Answer 7

Either pronounciation is correct.

English has no official rule board. So colloquialisms are totally excepted.

The best AMERICAN BOOK EVER:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn relies on several different spelling styles to emphasize accent. Mark Twain rigourously defended their validity in the preface.

I don't like Bush, but he was elected because he knew how to speak like the average Joe.

Answer 8

I still don't know if it's a shtick to pander to the "average American" or if it's really what he says off-camera.

Then again, tons of people say "liberry" instead of library.

Answer 9

Ha. Every time I try to link the evolutionary trend between apes and G bush I get reported. I think to some users it is more dignifying to classify G Bush as brain dead instead of having hairy and pouty relatives. Anyway. did you notice how chimpanzees have problems pronouncing words with the letter c? Just out of curiosity, no way am I implying something... HoNeST.

Answer 10

If you aim for the lowest common denominator, .... well you get the idea. This certainly explains what passes for popular culture entertainment.

Answer 11

Yes
