Bush plans heavy foreign travel for last year of presidency.
Bush plans heavy foreign travel for last year of presidency.
At his year-end press conference last week, President Bush said “I go around spreading good will” to other countries. His schedule next year will test his ability to spread good will:
In early January, Bush flies to Israel for his first visit as president. While in the region, he also will visit the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The trip is a follow-up to the Israeli-Palestinian talks that the U.S. hosted in Annapolis, Maryland, last month.
In February, Bush will tour Africa, where U.S. public health initiatives are popular. That will be followed by an April North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Romania, a June U.S.-European summit in Slovenia, a July meeting of Group of Eight leaders in Japan, the summer Olympics in China and a November Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Peru. Bush is likely to visit other, nearby countries during those trips.
Jim Jeffrey, the deputy White House national security adviser, said, “We want to be well-perceived in the world.”

In the next nine months, Dubya will single-handedly end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Iraqi civil war, and bring the Taliban to Jesus. He’ll end global warming (which he doesn’t believe in) just to make Al Gore look bad. He will personally lead an overthrow of the Iranian government, with the masses of Iranian people clutching flowers and weeping, within days of the 2008 election.
Republicans will be swept back into power in both Houses and the White House. In fact, the Democrats running for office will all concede and drop out of their respective races.
America will return to its proper one-party, one-church rule. A shining city upon the hill.
Damn. The fever from this flu is a killer.
December 24th, 2007 at 11:35 amStay home, George.
As the old saying goes — Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
George W: Cultural Learnings of the World for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of America should be a fun movie to watch. Do you think we’ll get to see some of our old favorites: talking with his mouth full of food, giving the ladies impromptu back-rubs, trying to open locked doors, and nick-naming everyone?

I’m shocked and surprised to not see Baghdad and Kabul on his agenda. He and his crew have brought so much peace and good will and happiness to those areas.
If this is legacy building, it’s a cruel joke.
December 24th, 2007 at 11:52 amLet’s not let him back into the country once he leaves.

That’s right. It’s all in what is perceived because we know Bush isn’t presidential and the republican’s in congress are petty.
December 24th, 2007 at 12:06 pmIt’s usually a good thing to start your Presidency this way. Instead, Bush was too busy sitting down with Enron, trying to screw America over.
December 24th, 2007 at 12:09 pmBush knows he has no positive legacy at all, so he’s trying a hail Mary. Too bad we have the “Internets” and a really good memory.

December 24th, 2007 at 12:09 pmBush look presidential. That’s funny. He hasn’t been able to do that for the entire two terms of his presidency so he’s going on a feel good tour at the end.
Bush looks presidential like Barry Bonds looks like he’s never touch steroids.

It’s only brilliant if everyone else in the world is as thick-headed as you and suffers complete memory lapse. He won’t look “presidential” (because he isn’t and can’t) but he will look desperate (because he is).
December 24th, 2007 at 12:19 pmSo many countries to visit, so many people to meet, so many women to give creepy backrubs…

Bush hasn’t been to all 50 states, because he can’t even name half of them!
He must love to travel to foreign countries, just so he can be escorted thru alternate routes, due to the inevitable, massive protests that’ll occur at every stop along the way.

Bush will look out the window of Airforce 1. He will do his texas strut and and his fratboy wave. He will give female heads of state backrubs. He will talk with his mouth full. He will mangle the English Language. he will mispronounce his hosts’ names. He will run over his security detail with his mountain bike. He will embarrass every American but himself.
December 24th, 2007 at 12:45 pm…and all of it - every last bit- paid for by we the taxpayers. The arrogance is breathtaking, isn’t it? This administration lacks a lot of things - arrogance is definitely not one of them.
He can try and catapult the propaganda all he likes, it changes nothing! The all-knowing almighty Commander Guy is standing on a foundation made up of lying and deceit. A foundation built on lies and deception crumbles under the weight of the truth. He can try and outrun the truth, but it won’t work. No matter who we are - we all reap what we sow.

Too late.
Smooches,

December 24th, 2007 at 2:04 pmBush may travel a lot. Though he is a prisoner limited to ultra secure settings. He did not see more than less than a half hour of Vietnam when he visited there. He never goes about the towns and villages when he travels. Speaks only to pre-screened crowds. He is smothered to the point of suffocation with security.
Bush cannot hop in the car with Laura, stop at the mini mart for some Doritos and off to a drive along the coast. Bush has no freedom that the mundane American takes for granted. Bush probably drools to just go get bacon, eggs and read the paper, alone at a Denny’s. With no scrutiny. He is under a microscope. Despite at the attempt of secrecy.
Is it a good idea to have the unfree define freedom? They seem to think war is freedom. Crime is freedom.
What do you think?

I wish I could claim credit for the Urban Heat Island factor theories, but those were thoughts that I merely read in Michael Crichton’s State of Fear, which he probably learned from someone else’s research.
I would also recommend reading Michael Crichton’s “Next”, which extrapolates on the existing state of genetic / biological research.

jas, this one’s for you:
When this old world gets me down
and there’s no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon
I find I’m in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
My name is Michael,
I’ve got a nickel
I’ve got a nickel shiny and new
I’m gonna buy me all kinds of candy
that’s what I’m gonna do
In the wonders that I find in
the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be
close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we’ll sing a song all day
My girl is Cindy
when we get married we’re gonna
have a baby or two
We’re gonna let them visit their grandma
that’s what we’re gonna do
Living in a world that I left behind
December 24th, 2007 at 2:31 pmHappy little children
In the playground in my mind
See the little children
See how they play in the playground in my mind

That’s how Cheney-Bush’ll hold down spending? The coward’ll be on the run, but what if he finds himself in situations like Nixon did? He have to hide out somewhere like he did when he was on the run on 9/11.
December 24th, 2007 at 2:34 pmYes, George Bush will fly to various countries to bring peace and goodwill towards men. Up in the sky, people will see George Bush in flowing red robes flying across the sky over the rooftops, carrying a great cross and around him, he will have bands of cherubs and seraphim singing sweetly.

If you are implying that I have a Peter Pan type approach to life, then I understand your question. No, I do not believe the world will simply go away, nor am I some child who doesn’t wish to grow up.
Having held up my end in societal duties / expectations, I can recognize when others are not. When others find it easier to allow me to pull the cart, while they just ride along boasting as to how their feet never touch the mud, I simply recognize that it is time to stop pulling the cart.

December 24th, 2007 at 2:43 pmEVIL BY ANY OTHER NAME
George W. Bush personifies the most malevolent, irredeemable and diabolic aspects of mankind. Not only is he wantonly destructive, purposefully dishonest and shamelessly unremorseful, he disgracefully defends his catastrophic decisions by hiding and perpetuating the devastating impact they have on the lives of defenseless human beings. Hundreds of thousands of innocent children, women and men, who have not harbored a harmful thought toward another human being, have been murdered, eviscerated and maimed as a direct result of George W. Bush being the president of the United States of America. And yet, his overriding priority is to prolong the inhuman carnage he has instigated, not to end it. George W. Bush is an indelibly chilling example of what man is capable of doing to his fellow man……the worst example imaginable.
IMPEACHMENT is the only means we have of stopping the devastating consequences of the unrelenting IGNORANCE, ARROGANCE, INCOMPETENCE, DISHONESTIES, INSECURITIES, HOSTILE TEMPERAMENT, VINDICTIVENESS and PRONOUNCED PSYCHOLOGICAL DEFECTS of George W. Bush. He is an intellectually and emotionally mean-spirited immature child who is destroying America’s honor and integrity single-handedly. And politically correct Democrats are standing by watching as he dismantles our Constitution and rules of law creating an all powerful and self-ruling/policing ONE branch oppressive/fascist American government. No individual in our history is more deserving of CONDEMNATION and PROSECUTION than George W. Bush!
How does a mass murderer wrapped in an American flag rebuild the image of a country whose power he so ruthlessly abused and whose traditions and principles he so disgracefully ignored?
December 24th, 2007 at 2:45 pmHow, exactly how, is sending President dinkledorf abroad going to improve the world’s perceptions of the US?

More than likely, the audiences will be well controlled (well fed, well dressed, aware of the electric shock devices attached to their chairs in case of any attempt to ruin the party), the parade routes will be devoid of any posters or protesters, everyone will be smiling, the press will not be allowed to even suggest any dissent - just like in the good old U.S.

“Having held up”? What a heap of rubbish.
For a man who is not even in his forties, you certainly have a huge sense of entitlement. Other people might be less kind and would probably describe you as a freeloader.
People around you must have very low expectations.
December 24th, 2007 at 6:00 pmIt is my truest hope that Bush ends his presidency by restoring our prestige abroad to the level it was at the end of the Clinton years.
I truly doubt he’s up to the task. However, if he does it, we could all say that “All’s well that ends well.”
That’s about as positive an ending as Bush could possibly hope for.
(Personally, tho, I’d give even that about a 10% chance of happening.)
December 24th, 2007 at 6:22 pmOne can hope that a lot of travel will somehow result in his untimely demise.
December 24th, 2007 at 7:36 pmPlease, keep the village idiot in the village. We don’t want him out there.
Perhaps, if he had made these “good will” travels prior to the Iraq fiasco, you know, to learn something about foreing cultures, we (all the world) wouldn’t be in the mess we’re today.
If only.

Yes, I have invitations, which I politely decline. I just don’t like the communal thing …

To your inviters’ great relief, I’m sure.

¡Feliz Nochebuena y Feliz Navidad, Señorita Zooey!
Best wishes for you and all your relatives :)
Long time no read! Last months have been a work nightmare for me, sorry. It’s one of the worst periods of the year in my job, and bosses did keep buzzing around me giving extra “urgent, special tasks”, to be added to the heap of “regular” job.
I’ve been almost unable to be up to date with Thinkprogress, or even The Zoo.
Hope you’re fine and your studies are going nicely (in Christmas vacation now, I suppose).
December 24th, 2007 at 9:31 pmBTW, past wednesday was my birthday. I’m now in the feared 4.x version of EvilSpaniard software, but I prefer to call it EvilSpaniard XP.
Round of virtual beer for everybody!

Perhaps in some cases, not in others …
December 24th, 2007 at 9:55 pm#106, Gregor,
Actually, I turned 40 this year and I don’t feel that I am entitled to anything more than what I have earned, which is substantial, considering my age. My successes fly in the face of those who feel that white men don’t deserve success and wealth, as they could only have stolen it from more deserving women and minorities. Their belief system is not only detrimental for me, but even moreso for those they claim to represent.

So evil lefties don’t acknowledge your merits and success in life? Aw, shucks

Happy Belated Birthday, Senor Evil! Thanks for the beer. :-)

That I could handle, but when they started leveraging cultural biases from women and minorities to justify undermining my success and taking my wealth for nefarious purposes, I saw that I needed to shut it all down.
December 24th, 2007 at 10:43 pm#119 Really, you have a short fuse. Calling names, tsk, tsk, tsk.
“Taking my wealth for nefarious purposes”
Comedy gold.
You’re a great clown.
December 24th, 2007 at 11:02 pmWell, off to bed.
JMH, beware of the leftoid conspiracies, and don’t let the bedbugs sting you.

You are such a bore. Your repeated claims of great wealth are old and uninteresting.
“Taking my wealth for nefarious purposes”? Oh, please.
Get a life.

Oh come now, we all are entralled with some nobody white 40 something’s claims of great success. No doubt it is a riveting Horatio Alger type story minus the gay stuff or maybe with extra gay stuff. Who knows?
December 25th, 2007 at 9:43 amWealth isn’t a bragging right for me, just merely trying to put my oxygen mask on before I help you children with your own.

If I needed your help, I’d be asking for it.
My fish have more common sense and a better grasp on reality than you. Don’t take off your oxygen mask on my account.
December 25th, 2007 at 4:47 pm#125, Gregor Samsa,
Your fish? - good excuse, but there is more that smells about you.

That stench you smell is your own. Leave the keyboard alone and go take a shower.
Was that answer childish enough for ya?
I thought so…
December 25th, 2007 at 10:32 pm#127, Gregor Samsa,
No, you stink - you stink worse! Nah!
