Questions to ponder...


This one was passed to me by Mom! As my friend/colleague Larry Johnson (proprietor of the noted blog, No Quarter), "Way to go mom." (And as Mr. Johnson notes, "If anyone has the original link, let me know, we want to credit the originator.")

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

--If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

--If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

--If George W. Bush had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?

--If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87,000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

--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 spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, 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 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 visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "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 in their income taxes, would you have approved?

--If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless.

--If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

--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 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

--If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes 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 failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans (due to Katrina), would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

--If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

--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 this these incidents did not occur under George W. Bush's watch, I wonder who was at the helm when they did...?

The "what if" response to Bliss, and a Unique Observation

What if Obama said:

"I really don't think about Bin Laden that much"
"Browny. You're doing a hell of a job"
"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'm the dictator"
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a god damned piece of paper"
"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country"

Furthermore, Jeff Bliss plays the centrist card on the John Bachelor show, and then shows his true, right wing colors on the Brian Sussman show. Check it out folks, it's quite amusing. CHAMELEON!

Sincerely,

GOPHEADHUNTER

To answer your questions...he'd have been ignored/glossed over by the media just as they have with all the other questions listed here.

As for "playing" any "card"...LOL. I respond to questions as they're posed and do my best to answer each that comes my way. Perhaps the difference you hear in the two different shows is that on the John Batchelor Show, I'm an editor/correspondent/co-host. The show is a news/public affairs show. The Brian Sussman Show...well, on that I'm a guest. The tone of the show is different and we often have the opportunity to be much more lighthearted. On Batchelor's show, it's my job to - most often - interview guests and other correspondents. I let them provide observations/insights.
Thanks for your remarks. I truly appreciate them!
