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 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?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 8 months — so you’ll have three years and four months more to come up with an answer.

Last Thursday Oct. 1st I had my 4th surgery since my accident on March 7th. This surgery I had to be at the hospital @ 6:30am and sit until 10:00am where they moved me to pre-op room. I  must say everyone at Hermann Memorial Hospital are incredibly sweet and personable. Around 11:30 they moved me to the real pre-op room and the anesthesiologist came and asked me all sorts of questions the most embarrassing was my weight in front of my Father and Count. From there they took me into the operating room. It was in there this time they gave me my relaxation cocktail. They were all so very sweet and held my hand as I went under. I woke up to this nurse speaking to a woman laying in a bed across from me. She was screaming the weirdest things. I cant remember exactly what she was saying but I started laughing and he walked over to me and said Hey! You awake? I said I guess so, is she alright? He said she is just coming out of the anesthesia. I was like is this what you do all day? He said yes, I monitor vitals and make sure everyone is ok when they wake up. I said what an interesting job. You must hear the craziest shit. He turned and said are you really awake and I said yes why? He was like b/c you are completely sober…I was like what do you mean? He said you are looking me in the eye and talking to me. I said is that wrong? He said well you just came out of major surgery and you arent moaning you are asking me if I am ok….hahahahaha Go figure. They then sent me back to some room where supposedly I dressed myself, at this point things become fuzzy and dont really remember but fragments of things for the next 30 hrs. It took that long for the anesthesia to wear off. That was the worst feeling ever. Luckily Count was there to take care of me. I am supposed to go get the staples removed this Friday and I find out that my Doctor is MIA for the next two weeks. I guess I am to pull them out myself? Hopefully the nurse will call me tomorrow with an answer to that question. I have a Dr’s appt on Oct. 20th to schedule my ACL surgery. I will have an update later.

When in  England  , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury  if our plans for  Iraq  were just an example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States  has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.’

There was a conference in  France  where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to  Indonesia  to help the tsunami victims. What  does he intended to do, bomb them?’

A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply

emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in

transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does   France  have?’

A  U.S.  Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the  U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries.

Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking

French?’

Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied  ‘Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans

arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.’

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in   Paris  by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.

‘You have been to  France  before, monsieur?’ the customs officer asked sarcastically.

Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France  previously.

‘Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.’

The American said, ‘The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.

‘Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in  France  !’

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ‘Well, when I came ashore at  Omaha   Beach  on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.’

Seriously guys NO ONE cares what your political views are, BUT if you are so ignorant as to bite the hand that feeds you the way that Bono has done, then you really are in a catagory of such stupidity, that I cannot and will not, subject myself to you. NO matter how talented I once thought you were.

Lest anyone has forgotten…Bush helped raise awareness and more money for Bono’s Africa cause, than all of the other Countries in the world COMBINED!!!!!

AND Bono isn’t even AMERICAN….fucking bastard
