It’ll be over when the evil Bush Inc can put life back in the hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children they killed in a mass organized murder they called “Shock & Awe” and ran like a video game while Laura drank in the background, lit her ciggies and downed her Xanax. Cheney/Gonzales indictment=Good Start.

“WHY AMERICA FEELS LIKE I HAS BEEN RULED BY FOREIGN OCCUPIERS’ —-BY JOHN HALLMAN “As Obama takes over the wreckage this country is in, one can’t help but feel like something alien to America has been controlling it these past eight years. The wave of emotion that has erupted with the election of Barack Obama reminds me of the Allied victory in France in WWII. After a long foreign occupation in which foreign German interests occupied the agenda of France, French governance would once again be representing the concerns of it’s populace. That hope seems to pervade America after it’s long neocons occupation. Here are a few of the parallels that I see.” - American Public Opinion Has Been Ignored “Polling has consistently shown that the American government pursues an agenda far to the right of American public opinion. For the slight margin of victory that Bush had in both elections he won, the sweeping changes he pursued illuminate his disregard for the sizable chunk of our society that disagree with him. When Dick Cheney was questioned on ABC about whether the fact that two thirds of Americans were opposed to the Iraq War had any influence on decision-making, he basically said that the American people get to make their input every four years and after that they can be ignored. The government is there to represent the people and now that it seems like that is returning; joy is understandable.” - Core American Values Overturned “America fought a revolution to have its opinions represented by it’s government. That has faded in Bush’s term. America set up the UN after World War II to set up international law and put an end to military aggression and imperialism. That went out the window. Habeas Corpus was inherited from England where it originated in the 12th Century. Bush in that sense has embraced the morals of the middle ages. Along that line, America reinstituted the use of torture. England discontinued its use in the 1600’s Frederick the Great ended it in Prussia in 1740, Italy in 1786, France in 1789, and Russia in 1801. Besides moral reasons, the practice was written off as ineffective in terms of yielding useful information. This administrations moral conduct is clearly alien to the values of most Americans.” - Basic Infrastructure Neglected “Bridges, roads, and environmental standards have degraded these past eight years. What could be of more interest to a population than the upkeep of these vital elements of society? Clearly the vital interests of the population did not matter. You would have to be completely foreign to what America is not to see it, as basic infrastructure degraded tremendously in Bush’s tenure.” - National Resources Diverted Overseas “If you study any foreign occupation, one common thread would be that national wealth would be diverted into foreign lands. While American healthcare, education, and infrastructure languished, we dumped billions of dollars into Iraq and pursued an otherwise aggressive and destructive foreign policy across the world at large at tremendous cost. On top of that, national debt doubled the past eight years. It’s like America lost a war, suffered an occupation and had to pay a 5 trillion dollar indemnity. We’re in a similar position to France in 1870 or Germany in 1919 in that our common interests have been ignored, we’ve pursued an aggressive foreign policy to our own detriment and we are now deeply in debt.” - Propaganda Tuned Up “Bush took the stance of a foreign occupier in his governance- rational argument would never win the minds and hearts of the masses so crude propaganda such as Fox News was trotted out to scare and paralyze America into obedience. The same quest for obedience through misinformation and crude scare tactics are the same you see in the totalitarian governments from South America to Asia that have brought nothing but misery to their own people and the world at large.” Laura has a thankless job? I’ll thank her to take the Primate-in-Thief by the hand and removed him from the public stage.

Everytime I see her….I just think what resilence and class she has. I just saw some video on the state dinner they had when the Queen of England was in town. Laura Bush is a return to that traditional first lady in a way and she nails it and I love her for that, but she also has this sparkle behind her eyes that makes you know she’s got a lot going on in there. Some sass. I would very much like to read her book or even have the honor of having dinner with her. I respect her a great deal. And I would love to read about her work as I feel none of it really got any press. And some may not expect that kind of interest from a Los Angeles based 33 year old lesbian who works in theater, but that’s the truth.

I am new to this site and I don’t particularly care for mudslinging in an attempt to get your point across. However I agree with the comments about Bush and company and about Laura Bush’s complicity. She probably sees only what she wants to see and ignores the rest similar to an abused woman. Or one who has been raised similar in polygamous households. I don’t believe she understands what Bush and party have done as it is so far out of her experiences.

I saw that film of Laura Bush “roasting” the president—it was pure PR designed to get his approval ratings up—but I’ll give her a free pass on the appropriateness of that decision……. She WAS funny—someone else mentioned how hilarious it was when she was (supposedly) listing the differences between George & herself. When she smiled & said “I can pronounce the word “nuclear”—& camera cut to shot of Bush smiling—it cracked me up. I was impressed with how funny the stuff she said was—until she began the “blue” jokes. Oh lord. She was really funny doing the clean ones—-why go into how George stroked a horse’s _____ by mistake & other such dirty things. It made her look oddly nasty—it felt surreal to me—-because these filthy jokes were coming out of this church lady visage. I was aghast. And it was not needed—-she had been very funny beng clean! Listen ladies—I would not have told blue jokes about my husband stroking a horses _____——I don’t care how low his ratings were. I can’t see Jackie Kennedy doing it. She would have told Jack to kiss her royal arse if he had been so foolish as to ask her to do it for him. Ditto for Mrs Carter. It was awful. And so unnecessary—-especially coming from “the first family of the morality & values party”. HA! She was seen on national TV, embarrassing the entire country! Saying things you would never say in church. I knew right then that Laura lives under his thumb, sadly. Laura Bush is nothing but a pawn to be used & abused in George’s world—just like he considers everyone else to be.. What a swell guy—-& the fact that she was too weak to stand up to him tells the tale of their marriage & also why she’s still there in it too. A dictator IS a dictator.
