If Bush Resigns

BUSH'S RESIGNATION SPEECH

The following 'speech' was written recently by an ordinary Maine-iac [a resident of the People's Republic of Maine ]. While satirical in nature, all satire must have a basis in fact to be effective.
This is an excellent piece by a person who does not write for a living.

The speech George W. Bush might give:

Normally, I start these things out by saying 'My Fellow Americans.' Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world.
Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this 'blood for oil' thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied...People Died' crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?

Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan , a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he's going to destroy us. While he's doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks it's okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel . Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to out spend and out-tech them.


That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can.
But they are.. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'


Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy.
Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well Fed Ex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter.
Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.


I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.


Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. God bless what's left of America .

Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

PS - You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

Amen to that. Thank God for bringing us through almost eight years of the incompetence, greed, lies and bad judgment of the Bush Administration.

Ah, Texas, I wouldn't worry about it too bad. Trying to talk sense to some people is simply a terrible waste of time. As I have found out here on PB. :wink:

hahahaha...sounds like you qualify for the group that gets the "kiss off".

We're all getting the "kiss off". You're stuck with a share of that $700 Billion of Bush's socialist bailout, too.

BTW, this has been posted on this board two or three times before.

After sorting some cattle last night, myself and a couple buds had some beers and wings at the local Mexican reastraunt here in the Peoples Republic of Maine, one topic lead to another but we talked about getting more serious organizing the local militia and prepare for what may be heading our way. One friend mentioned he things the fore fathers envisioned the possibility of another Revolution. I have been spending time looking at the arguments of the constitution being a living document, a democracy vs. a republic, re-reading the Decleration of Independence, Constitution and Bill or Rights. Fortunately whatever happens, if it happens, we don't have to re-invent the wheel. We have been blessed with the Constitution to be our guiding light in whatever we face. When I joined the military I said I would protect this country against all enemies both foreign and domestic. The presidents job is to protect the constitution, it's in his oath. Anyone who tries to get us away from our constitution is an enemy and a threat to this country. Any law that contradicts anything in the Constitution is null and void.

I thought McConnel and all those fellows with (R's) by their name in the negotiations were Republicans....Even McSame suspended his campaign to fly home and fix it :roll: (which cost us $100 Billion more)
And remember- it was Bush/Paulson that came begging for a bailout- any kind of bailout to get the countries tit out of the wringer they stuck it in....

Doesn't matter....the house voted it down. Don't you remember how pissed you were because not enough repubs. would support it?? The "supersized" version "with pork" came from Nancy and the Senate several days latter.....Bush had nothing to do with it.

Who are you trying to kid? He had everything to do with it, from his lax oversight of financial institutions, to asking for $700Billion of our money to signing the bail out bill. It's Bush's baby from the moment of conception. :roll:

No actually "conception" was when Jimmy Carter signed the Community Reinvestment Act followed up by Bill Clinton signing the repeal of Glass - Stegall.....Yep it was their's from conception. Laying there in the womb growing like a monster just waiting to be born. And like it or not Bush's bail out bill was NOT passed. Rather the senate and house voted on a substitute bill. Now go back and study the situation. It started long before you short lived study of political science.

Everything was fine as long as the value of homes continued to rise...when the housing industry collapsed, those mortgages became worthless paper and sucked the financial backing out of the credit industry.

If Bush did resign at the point....why bother now???


He really can't do much more damage than he already has and it's better to have your enemies where you can watch them....so he can stay his term for all I care now.


Just take the 'red button' out of his reach till Jan.

Yeah you won't have to live with guilt of having voted for him at least once.

This would be a good time to revisit this thread. Read it carefully, everyone. Everything in it is a fact. BTW, Orson Scott Card is a Democrat, although not the ultra left type that dominates the party today.

A huge percentage of the "paper" was always worthless...the loans never should have been originated.....but when the buyers of these loans cook the books for years making things look like they want people to see them it finally catches up to you. Investors (401-K's and others) were demanding HIGH RETURNS..the way to get them was to buy worthless high risk paper.

I had a chance to watch a couple of hours Congressional Hearings on the economic crash this morning- testifying were Snow, Cox, Greenspan, others-- and one of the major culprits being named besides the Bankers, mortgage houses, and traders were the Rating companies- that in their greed to keep a lucrative client- often "overrated" these companies- so that they would not lose the contract-- and which meant that the traders dealing with the banks and their paper were not aware of the "true" financial status of the mortgage company- or the paper they were trading....All trying to make a "faster buck"..... :(

Overall agreement seemed to be it came about because of terrible "GREED" amongst the whole lending industry- which it appears all were quite aware of what was happening and covering it up- which means FRAUD- and the deregulation and nontransparency changes in the law that left them wide open to do anything they wanted- and that none of the public figures (SEC, CFTC, Treasury, etc.) where aware it was happening until it was too late... But they were all trying to CYA (Cover your A$$) as not being the causes too....
Greenspan did admit-all his and the others belief in deregulation was wrong- and that the Fatcats can't be trusted to police themselves...
