Isn't it Odd - We Have a president Who Is Running Home to his Dad?

[leftyladyfrommo]

That is so wierd.

So what do we really have? Is George Bush 1 running the country again? And what is the son doing?

This has to be a first.

I find this to be really bizarre! And I think that alone may grounds to just get rid of the son and put someone in that can actually lead the country. This is just such an unsafe thing.

1. Actually, the Carlyle Group is running the country.

Bush Sr. called in his cabal to take over - it's essentially a coup. And don't think for a minute anything they do will be to make things better. The original goal - empire building, controlling the oil in the ME - that's what they're going to desperately try to salvage.

[Sinti]

8. Right on the money. It makes me sick. n/t

[Crankie Avalon]

14. Yeah, that's it: The Carlyle Group has bought out the latest of the son's failed businesses...

...another group of "angel investors" coming seemingly from out-of-nowhere to buy up the kid's company on the eve of its going under--and in this case, the failed business is the whole damned country.

2. This is what Bush II has always done.

Daddy has always had to bail little George out whenever he got his knickers caught in something.

George Bush is an immature, spoiled, selfish, arrogant, ignorant brat.

Put a diaper on him, and stick him in his playpen with a pacifier. It's the only place where the rest of the world is safe from him.

3. No surprize

W has had to run to Daddy when every one of his past business ventures flopped.

[Nikki Stone1]

12. It's always been amazing to me that pro-business Republicans never saw Junior for the failure he was

especially in business.

4. Correction: Bush I not running country. Those running Bush I are

41 just a tool too, but a slightly smarter tool

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. Well, that certainly is good news.

Do we have any idea who those people are? Jim Baker, for one?

I've got to say that he seems a whole lot better than Geo. the son.

But I can't help but wish that we had a real president.

[havocmom]

13. Not good news. Just the same old ultra rich corportists

Not good for America, but a bit more finess than the wrecking crew running 43

[grasswire]

6. and what is the Constitutional authority for Bush I running the place?

There is no authority for this.

And the MSM is pushing the propaganda supporting this junta.

The storyline is irresistable to them. Strong father bails out weak son. It's propaganda, people.

Frightening as hell.

[flordehinojos]

7. George Bush 1 has been running the country since day one of GWB 43's residency.

Except, he is doing it more openly now. I think with the Bushes it is not so much the case of a pResident running home to Daddy--I think it is more a case of Daddy never let the boy fly solo.

[iconoclastic cat]

9. George, Lamest of Ducks. nt

[Phredicles]

10. I don't remember John Quincy Adams pulling this shit...

Just saying. :evilgrin:

[MADem]

11. Actually, I think we have one who was rounded UP by his dad

You know, the little punk who tramples the neighbor's petunias, stays out too late, doesn't come home for supper, so Paw has to get in the station wagon, and drive around to all of the kid's regular haunts--the soda shop, the baseball field, the movie the-a-ter, the burger joint...and then, when he finds the kid, he tells him to toss his bike in the back of the car and get in.

There's the long ride home, the few sharp words, the dragging by the ear into the house, and the kid is forced to apologize for getting everyone worried, and to the neighbor lady for ruining her petunias.

But, see, the kid doesn't really MEAN it. He apologizes, but in a hectoring, angry tone.
" I'm SORRY that I CRUSHED your PETUNIAS," he barks (sounding like he's not sorry at all, only angry that Paw has forced him to apologize).

That's what the Dunce sounds like to me! An unrepentant little shit, trapped and grounded!

And yeah, I think George the First is in fact getting a shot at his SECOND term, thanks to the incompetence of "little Cokie Dunderboy."

[Marlie]

15. The pattern will never change

Dubya is sixty years old and still counting on daddy to bail him out of trouble.
What a complete failure.

[leftofthedial]

16. this whole father-son thing is ridiculously oversold

they all are part of the same crime cabal

[gratuitous]

17. Isn't this what we voted for in 2004?

We all really, really wanted George W. to fail so George H.W. could finally get his second term? Isn't that the imperial, dynastic kind of leadership the American people have been thirsting for all along?

I used to think Shakespeare was entertaining until I found myself in one of his plays.

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. It's not the first time Daddy had to fix things for him!

If memory serves, it's a recurring theme with everything Bush has touched!
