Question

This question is specific,im asking about memories of every single speach Bush made over the last 6-years.

Answer 1

I'd ask you for specifics, but then I see the first answerer has written a book.

I'm wondering how many of those thumbs up actually read his answer. Because I didn't. LOL

ADDED: Thanks, Debra for the e-mail. I wish I could fathom the depths of those who hate anyone so much they also hate the ones who do not share the hate. I am not one of the Americans with short memories, dear. And I do not need to be told what I must read.

Answer 3

i have a good memory so this question doesnt apply to me. i also remember what clinton said and did

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court
my question to you is which is the bigger crime...bush or clinton? i think the answer is obvious.

Answer 4

Why do some people completely ignore what Ahmadinejad says? Or make excuses for it? Why do people ignore what radical Islam says it wants to do?

You're either with us or you're with the terrorists. I bet I know which.

Answer 5

"Recognizing and confronting our history is important. Transcending our history is essential. We are not limited by what we have done, or what we have left undone. We are limited only by what we are willing to do."

"If you don't feel something strongly you're not going to achieve."

"We will bring the terrorists to justice; or we will bring justice to the terrorists. Either way, justice will be done."

--- George Walker Bush

Answer 6

I think the majority of Americans have selective memory when it comes to their political system.

Answer 7

Because I've got better things to do than catalog every stupid thing any body says. If it's funny, it'll resurface after a few drinks, but that's about it.

Answer 8

Who can ever understand his double speak.. and his horrid use of the English language.... it is a blessing if you cannot remember what he has said.

i however, do remember the horrible threat of WMD's and how we absolutely had to go after Iraq... Lies.. all of it...Thanks Bush!

Answer 9

Looked up the answer to your last question about the free health care he promised Iraqis -- turns out you were right -- they know it too -- Their ignorance is WILLFUL or they're liars

By the way -- it's called the "memory hole"

Answer 10

If they don’t remember is not because the dems and the liberal media have not been pounding on him for 7 years.
