O'Reilly celebrates "The Comeback of President Bush"
The Comeback of President Bush
Monday, September 19, 2005
By Bill O'Reilly

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,169773,00.html

Mostly positive reviews for the president's speech last night, even from unfriendly sources. Mr. Bush delivered big money promises, hope, and some contrition. I thought the speech was well written.

As we demonstrated a few days ago, the Bush administration is spending far more on the poor than any other administration in history, much more than Bill Clinton did. If you want the stats, please read my column on billoreilly.com.

Jackson's propaganda, of course, rarely challenged by the press, generally let him say anything he wants to say. And he'll do anything to denigrate Mr. Bush.

Now the danger is that 300 million Americans are living in a country where objectivity and fair play have pretty much disappeared in the media. So how are we supposed to know the truth about events and people? The press is supposed to be our eyes and ears. But increasingly, the media has turned into a nasty partisan group of ideologues. And if you disagree with them, you're going to get personally attacked. Reuters should be ashamed of itself.

Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 04:14 PM by DesertedRose
If he repeats it enough, bushbots will begin repeating it.

"But increasingly, the media has turned into a nasty partisan group of ideologues. And if you disagree with them, you're going to get personally attacked."

You should know, projection-man!

12. The only 'comeback' that twit could manage
would be "Oh yeah?" And he'd probably mumble his way through that too.

23. Wouldn't surprise me. There are more "poor."
If you include things that aren't means tested but go to poor people, like SS disability and pensions, for example, there's a ton more money going to poor.

And there's more people in poverty as a percentage.

20. Good luck Bill
It's not going to work anymore. Your ratings are going downhill almost as fast as your master's approval numbers. The two of you can sit and fantasize all you want, the rest of us will live in reality.

21. Wow, I have never seen spin like THAT
Even the Bushies aren't saying that, just that he will come back once people understand the situation. Which is laughable. His ratings went DOWN after that "beautiful speech."

O'Reilly must be on the payroll bigtime. Or they got him off that sexual harassment rap, but still have the tapes.

22. More proof that Bill O'Reilly lives in Bizzarro World
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 04:57 PM by Rob H.
Wow. You can smell the stink of desperation all the way across the vast expanse of the internets.
But increasingly, the media has turned into a nasty partisan group of ideologues.
Okay, technically that's true--he should know because he's one of 'em!
And if you disagree with them, you're going to get personally attacked.
Or be told by O'Reilly that if this were the Old West, he would just shoot you. Whichever.

27. Okay Bill, here are the numbers:
1993 (Bill Clinton's first year as President): 39.3 million people below poverty (rate of 15.1 percent)

1996 (Bill Clinton's fourth year as President): 36.6 million people below poverty (rate of 13.7 percent)

2000 (Bill Clinton's last year as President): 31.6 million people below poverty (rate of 11.3 percent)

2001 (George W Bush's first year as President): 32.9 million people below poverty (rate of 11.7 percent)

2004 (George W Bush's fourth year as President): 37 million people below poverty (rate of 12.7 percent).

THUS, while its "true" that the poverty rate was lower in Bush's fourth year as President than it was in Clinton's, the facts are that the poverty rate dropped every year Clinton was President and has increased every year Bush has been President. And a 12.7 percent poverty rate in 2004 actually represents more people living in poverty than 13.7 percent rate in 2004. Or put it this way - In the first four years of his presidency, 2.7 million Americans escaped poverty. During the first four years of Bush's presidency, over 4 million Americans fell into poverty.

So, if anyone throws Bill's little lie at you, just toss back the truth.
