Bush quote that is MOST representative of his entire failed presidency

[Human Torch]

[CJCRANE]

1. "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful

and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

[Human Torch]

2. That certainly belongs on the list...

:patriot:

[Eric J in MN]

4. You beat me to it. NT

NT

[Guaranteed]

12. Yup nt

[Crunchy Frog]

22. That's my choice. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

32. That's the first one I thought of

But there's also the one about "hitting the trifecta" on 9-11, and the one about watching the first plane fly into the WTC live, on a TV in a school hallway that was "obviously on".

[Eric J in MN]

3. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country...

...and our people, and neither do we."

[indepat]

21. A Freudian slip of the first magnitude for W actually spoke the reality of the entire

extreme RW agenda, to wit, he spoke a rare truth: every major policy initiative, every law enacted, all fiscal and tax policies, all environmental policies, most foreign policies, the PNAC policy of pre-emptive wars, all have harmed this country, possibly beyond repair, for the harm quite likely is irreparable. :rant:

[Jamastiene]

36. That would be my choice too. n/t

[kskiska]

5. "Who cares what you think?"

That's my choice.

[irislake]

9. Mine too.

[Eric J in MN]

17. When did he say that? NT

NT

[Art_from_Ark]

29. He said it at a July 4, 2001 picnic in Philadelphia

30. Thanks, I hadn't seen that story before. NT

6. How to choose, how to choose

I picked all of them.

I'll donate to his library just to see these highlighted under spotlights and glossy paper.

Here's a few of mine.

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself—not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar. I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch."—After visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006

"Secondly, the tactics of our—as you know, we don't have relationships with Iran. I mean, that's—ever since the late '70s, we have no contacts with them, and we've totally sanctioned them. In other words, there's no sanctions—you can't—we're out of sanctions"—Anandale, VA., Aug. 9,2004

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."—Washington, D.C.", May 25, 2004

"More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than—I say more Muslims—a lot of Muslims have died—I don't know the exact count—at Istanbul. Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill."—Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2004

This is a great thread; Wish we could keep it growing!

7. Bush is the bad Hollywood low budget corruption flick of all time!

[Fire Walk With Me]

46. He's made the country into a Troma film, without all of the things

that make a Troma film great.

Will we laugh about all of this in twenty years?

[Moloch]

8. Fool me once, shame on you...

Fool me twice.. can't get fooled again.

I think that one sums up bush's shamelessness more than anything else.

Oh and "Heckuva Job, Brownie" should be up there as well.

[Human Torch]

11. Brownie was a coin toss, but yes, it belongs on the list...

:patriot:

[Withywindle]

37. Yeah, I think I'd've picked that one...

tough choice as it is.

I mean, I don't think an American President has lost an ENTIRE CITY since the War of 1812, unless Jefferson Davis counts.

[Frustratedlady]

10. That the 2004 election results proved the voters gave him a

mandate and he was going to spend it.

[greenbriar]

13. a dictatorship would be a lot easier...so long as I am the dictator

I truly believe he wishes this were true

[Demeter]

14. "It's Just a God-Damned Piece of Paper"

Apocryphal or not, it summarizes the Bush regime.

[Cameron27]

15. Yes it does.

[cosmik debris]

16. Bring it on!

or something like that.

[ribrepin]

42. That's my vote too

I'll never forgive "the president" for that one. I have nephews serving and nothing better happen to them. The nerve of that asshole to challenge the terrorists when he is safe in Washington surrounded by armed Secret Service. Meanwhile, we have soldiers in Iraq fighting a guerrilla war.

[ellenfl]

18. i couldn't choose one. there are so many. eom

[KAT119]

19. He was introducing a lady, saying she is a good ole Texas girl just like me!

[MGD]

20. Who could forget: "my fellow Americans, major combat in operations in Iraq have ended

in the battle of Iraq. The United States and our allies have prevailed."

[BrotherBuzz]

23. "I'm a uniter, not a divider".

Cripes, he said that before he even stole the office. 1999, I believe.

[Disturbed]

24. Sometimes he states the truth.

"They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

[BrotherBuzz]

26. I remember hearing that one

Jeez Louise, his maintaining a 30% approval rating makes me want to cry. I'm really concerned about his base.
:scared:

[Stardust]

25. "Don't come after us, or we will kill you." And then there's

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

I chose the "Have More" quote before I got to the end and realized the last one was the best answer.

[irislake]

27. How bout

"All Americans can take pride in the example our democracy sets for the world by holding elections even in a time of war?"
Or how bout:
"Never again in the halls of Washington, D.C., do I want to have to make explanations that I can't explain."

I think he may end up being your most quoted pretzledent ever! Not just quoted in your own country but worldwide. And he has two more years to give us wonderful quotable quotes. An inspiration to us all.

[jillan]

28. The one about his job would be easier if this was a dictatorship

[spacelady]

31. The Quote about hitting the Trifecta was pretty chilling. n/t

[paulk]

33. my favorite isn't listed

"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on .... shame on you. Fool me ....(incredibly long and painful pause, as Bush searches through his fractured memory)-- you can't get fooled again. "

Bush gets halfway through the joke, fucks it up completely, and instead of starting over or admitting he got it wrong, he forges ahead, turning a mistake into a complete and total fiasco. Kind of like he's done in Iraq. Kind of like he's done with everything he's been involved in his entire life.

[dad]

34. j

Nobody mentioned the stupid "Bring it on" quote!

[Jamastiene]

35. The one where he said the terrorists were working hard to

destroy America and he was too.

[EdwardM]

38. "You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you."

No greater example of incompetence than that quote. And what makes it even worse, he lied to John Kerry in the debates about even saying it.

[MiniMe]

39. I'm sure that in the next 2 years something else will come along

Bush just can't help himself when it comes to giving those kind of quotes.

[WildEyedLiberal]

40. "No one could have anticipated the breach of the levees."

[SeattleGirl]

41. All of the above, and so many more.

I don't think we have EVER had such a fucking moran for a President as we do right now.

[BikeWriter]

43. "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."

[BikeWriter]

44. APRIL 30, 2001 - BUSH ADMINISTRATION SAYS BIN LADEN FOCUS WAS "MISTAKE":

APRIL 30, 2001 - BUSH ADMINISTRATION SAYS BIN LADEN FOCUS WAS "MISTAKE": The Bush Administration released the government's annual report on terrorism, but unlike previous Administrations, it decided to specifically omit an "extensive mention of alleged terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. A senior State Department official told CNN the U.S. government made a mistake in focusing so much energy on bin Laden." Similarly, AP reported in 2002 that the Bush Administration's "national security leadership met formally nearly 100 times in the months prior to the Sept. 11 attacks yet terrorism was the topic during only two of those sessions."

[baldguy]

45. "I, George Walker Bush, do solemnly swear..."

And it went downhill from there.
