"The educational issue ought to be discussed about."

"It is clear out nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas."

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"

"They misunderestimated me."

"I think we agree, the past is over."

And my personal favorite...

"Actually, this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me."

Whoa... Shouldn't we all be proud? I'd list a few more, but I don't want anyone’s head to explode.

RE: President BUSHisms...

I still think that if Bush is saying the latest tax cut is to create jobs, he ought to take the money he wants to give back to business and the wealthy and create the jobs himself, maybe in things like jobs such as road and other maintenance, education and teaching. Both areas are really suffering these days.

That $350 billion would employ 1 million people at $35,000 per year for 10 years!! Now THAT would be job creation, and business/wealthy wouldn't have to lift a finger to create the jobs... Theoretically, the money ends up exactly the same, assuming the wealthy were to spend that $350 billion creating jobs, as Bush would have us believe...

RE: President BUSHisms...

Paul, what a hilarious compilation you put together there. I could hear is slow, slurring type mono-tone in my ears. HeheHaha.

Joe, shame on you. Looks like your own guy (AlBore) beat you to the punch. Geez, just thinking about Al ruins my day.

RE: President BUSHisms...

LOL! Both are actually very funny.

I wonder how many of us could be hounded by the press, day in and day out, every word recorded in some form or another, and not trip over our tongues.
 
RE: President BUSHisms...

Those are cute!

I can't stand the way Dubya speaks; very, v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. Why is this? (I personally think it's probably just the speed at which his brain is functioning.) I have heard that presidents are taught to speak slowly for the benefit of interpreters, though that wouldn't explain his slow speech while at home.

I couldn't stand Hillary either. She sounded very condescending; as though she were talking to a bunch of very dumb children.
 
RE: President BUSHisms...

Good point John!

There's one thing they won't be able to call President Bush...
That's "Slick George". The thing is, I believe what President Bush tells us. When Clinton spoke, I felt like he was saying whatever he needed to so he could remain popular.

When President Bush speaks, I feel like he is trying to honestly communicate his ideals and beliefs to us. Sometimes he creates his "Bushisms", but I don't doubt where he is coming from.

When Clinton spoke, he licked his finger and put it in the air to see which way the wind blew. Then he would answer to the polls. Clinton is the poster child of a person who lacks any spine or convictions. The only thing I could count on with Clinton is his disgusting personal behavior in the White House.

Gore...who's Gore?
 
RE: President BUSHisms...

Bush sounds like he's struggling to say what he has to say without stumbling over himself. At least it seems honest, though.

Slick willy always sounded like he was being as technically honest as possible while lying right to your face.

Al Gore sounds like he's just trying to make something come out of his mouth while he can come up with an answer that will please everyone.

Hillary sounds very cold and calculating, like she measures her responses and twists the issue (i'd say facts, but that might be giving her too much credit) to elicit the reaction she wants from her audience.

And if you followed me around with a microphone day in and day out, i'd be in trouble.
 
RE: President BUSHisms...

If you think Bushy is slow, what was Gore. Or worse, check out Lieberman. You can see him form every word with his mouth.

Dean, I agree. That is what I really super-disliked about Clinton. You could tell when he was lying (most of the time) or worse, he was just saying things that would prove poll popular. With Bush, what you get is what you get. I would rather have truth and conviction, than slick delivery.

RE: President BUSHisms...

Clinton is an attorney. It's easy to tell when an attorney is lying-his lips are moving!

Listen to Bush when he talks. He says "nuke you lr" in place of "nuke lee r" (nuclear). This is a personal pet peeve.
 
RE: President BUSHisms...

I think many of those statment by Al Gore confirm what I ahve suspected for a long time - he is from the future!

Yeah GW comes off as sincere, but while he was practicing that skill (and it is just a skill!), Gore was reading about the history of public policy or something. "Hi, George Bush, rush chairman, damn glad to meet'ya!" "Thank you sir may I have another!" har har

That one bothers me too. Makes him sound like he's in elementary school. Every time i hear that i wonder if he says "pasghetti" instead of "spaghetti".

RE: President BUSHisms...

It was President Eisenhower who first popularized the addition of a syllable to nuclear. He made it into nu-cle-ar instead of nu-clear.

RE: President BUSHisms...

this is the best explanation yet for "nucular". I will no longer cringe when i hear it pronounced like that.

...as if to say, "We're the ones with our fingers on the button, and we'll pronounce the word however we damn well please."

RE: President BUSHisms...

Bush's mispronunciation could well be intentional. If we think back to Gulf War I, his dad always pronounced Saddam as "sad' am" and not "sa dom' ". That pronunciation was supposed to be very insulting, but I can't remember why. Supposedly it came from his CIA days.
