today's post...

I was going to focus on something more hard hitting today but I think that it would be better to have a little humor. H/T to Ed from AntiStrib for posting this first.

I got this email from my son this morning. My SON. (His son, not me obviously)

And you think George W. Bush was a dummy?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of
the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of
inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon
Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically
significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod
containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought
this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference
to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you
have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of
advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on
their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to
refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican
ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo),
and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have
winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word advice would
you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and
potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to
go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have
concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force
One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet
fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what
happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need
A teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press
conference, would you have laughed and said this is more
proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled
by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood
victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or
made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made
into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism
and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a
major corporation, even though he had no constitutional
authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national
debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate,
in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt
again 10 times within years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s
holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority
stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have
approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes
him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of
anything? Don't worry. He's done all the above in
just 5 months -- so be patient you've still got three
years and seven months to come up with an answer…

Why IS Obama special? Because he's not GW Bush, basically...
