* Saturday Morning Radio Address - Not 1 mention of dead Marines

Contemplate the sick mind that crafted this speech given the events of the past week. Notice anything missing?


RADIO ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT
TO THE NATION

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. As families across the country enjoy the summer, Americans can be optimistic about our economic future. In the past four years, our economy has been through a lot: we faced a stock market decline, a recession, corporate scandals, an attack on our homeland, and the demands of an ongoing war on terror.

To grow the economy and help American families, we acted by passing the largest tax relief in a generation. And today, thanks to the tax relief and the efforts of America's workers and entrepreneurs, our economy is strong and growing stronger.

This past week, we learned that America added over 200,000 new jobs in July. Since May of 2003, we've added nearly 4 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is down to 5 percent, below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. And more Americans are working today than ever before in our nation's history.

Recent economic reports show that our economy is growing faster than any other major industrialized nation. Small businesses are flourishing. Workers are taking home more of what they earn. Real disposable personal income has grown by over 12 percent since the end of 2000. Inflation is low and mortgage rates are low. And over the past year, the home ownership rate in America has reached record levels......

Unless there's a change tomorrow. Guess asshole is too busy riding his bike, cutting brush, drinking.....

3. Americans enjoying the summer?
He is out of touch with any reality. We are sickened by the deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Our basic costs have skyrocketed and good-paying jobs lost forever.

He doesn't even realize that most Americans don't take a five week vacation on a 1600 acre ranch with cool down visits to the family compound in Maine.

One more day is passing and closer to this elitist being out of office.

9. Chimpy is enjoying a little taste of heaven at the Crawford Pig Farm
I wish I was a nasty Texan bolt of lighning. I sure know where I'd be hanging out for the next five weeks.

10. My grocery prices are skyrocketing, let alone the price of gas
I see no indication in my everyday life that the economy is good! Everything is costing me more and my pension hasn't increased in 9 years. My personal income has NOT grown over 12 percent as the idiot in Crawford stated has happened. Inflation appears to be very high to me and I'm sick of it. And sick of his lies! And pretty damn sick of HIM!
