Can you imagine what it feels like to be in his shoes? I wuld not want to be him for anything. Someday his actions are going to come back to haunt him and meanwhile he has to live with the awful harm he has done, for the rest of his life. He is a sad, bad man president.

“Sunday is President George W. Bush’s birthday. On this 4th of July, do you have any special birthday wishes for him?” Ladies, you bring new meaning to the phrase “birthday bash.” If any one of you saw a single line of the daily intel briefing that the President receives from the DCI or Joint Chiefs, you would faint. If you read the whole thing you would toss a handful of Nembutal in your mouth and wash it down with a tumbler of vodka. This is not the presidency that Bush wanted, but there are people out there who want to kill us, and are working on it 24/7. I thank God every day that he has been strong and steady. At every turn the national press, and the Democrats have done their best to crush him and our economy—-and Bush just takes it. You are willfully deaf, dumb and blind. Ladies, kindly purge my registration from your data system, and I’ll do the same on my end. This chick is outta here.

I have no best wishes for him! I will tell you what I wish! I wish: VA benefits are restored to treat our men and women in the military (that includes mental health services). that our economy was stronger, that we were in a bear market , our debt down and the surplus we had when President Clinton left office. that Gore presidency was not stolen. for Ann Coulter to go play in traffic.

I stand by this man. I stand by this man, because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world.
