Bush launches speaking tour, promoting his policies that were ‘controversial at times’ but ‘kept the country safe.’
Bush launches speaking tour, promoting his policies that were ‘controversial at times’ but ‘kept the country safe.’
As the Dallas Morning News reported earlier this month, George W. Bush’s first post-presidency address will be in Canada on March 17. The closed event is being billed as “a conversation with George W. Bush,” during which he will “share his thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office.” Politico reports that Bush has already scheduled at least 10 more speeches this year, in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He is now represented by the Washington Speakers Bureau. From his bio on the site:
President George W. Bush served in the Oval Office for eight of the most consequential years in American history. Faced with challenges from a terrorist attack to a global financial crisis, he made difficult decisions that will shape the nation’s course and world affairs for decades to come. His leadership after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was an inspiration to millions of Americans. His policies, while controversial at times, kept the country safe for more than seven years and liberated more than 50 million people from tyranny.
In 2007, Bush said he was looking forward to making a “ridiculous” amount of money on the lecture circuit once leaving the White House.
“kept the country safe for more than seven years”Unfortunately he was President for eight years. It’s like saying falling off an 80 story building is perfectly safe for more than 79 stories.

So , he’s planning on prattling on about the perch he caught and nothing else ?
That was predictable………
February 24th, 2009 at 9:59 amYes, it would be ridiculous if he made any money or if any damn fool listened to his babble.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:01 amGet the handcuffs ready, he can’t run that fast.
You couldn’t pay me enough to sit in an audience and listen to this bozo. I find it hard to believe that GDumbya will find enough takers to pay him to give a speech.
On the other hand, anyone who pays him to give a speech will be spending “a ridiculous amount of money”. If someone paid him $25 and bought him a free lunch, I would consider it a “ridiculous” expenditure.

February 24th, 2009 at 10:06 amI’d go if they hand out shoes at the door.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:06 amShould be a very short conversation, especially if he focuses on his achievements.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:06 amMaybe he’s going to fly friends, family and former appointees up there for support, issue a press release that reads
February 24th, 2009 at 10:10 am“Canada Loves Bush”
I have always loved the argument that he’s kept our country safe for 7 years, completely ignoring the fact he failed the first 8 months in office.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:11 amIt’s kind of like saying you’ve learned you lesson after drinking, driving, and killing an innocent family in a motor vehicle accident. Sure, blood was shed, but hey, no drinking and driving accidents since then!
And no offense, Dubya, but killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians does not warrant appreciation.
Having thousands of military lives lost due to your purposeful misleadings does not a great speaker make.
You are a dolt. You’ve always been a dolt. You will continue to be a dolt!

Well, no doubt that is true, unfortunately…
February 24th, 2009 at 10:11 amShouldn’t that be “eight ‘monstrous’ years”?

February 24th, 2009 at 10:13 amPresident George W. Bush served in the Oval Office for eight of the most consequential years in American history.
It turned out that way , because of his idiocy and awful decision-making ; nothing else………
February 24th, 2009 at 10:13 amBush II’s policies and his administration’s deliberate ignoring of a report on bin Laden didn’t keep the US safe on Sept. 11, 2001. His policies killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and turned that country into a cesspool. Why would any thinking person pay to hear what this dolt, who was not even elected by the American people in 2000 and arguably wasn’t in 2004, have to say?
February 24th, 2009 at 10:15 amThe closed event is being billed as “a conversation with George W. Bush,” during which he will “share his thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office.”
People actually have to pay for 2 hours of silence , I see …..Interesting………..
February 24th, 2009 at 10:15 amThat should read:
“Faced with a terrorist attack, he made the decision to do nothing, and he challenged the world by creating a global financial crisis that will shape the nation’s course and world affairs for decades to come.”
February 24th, 2009 at 10:16 amI have to say… he looks like the host of a game show leaving the set in the set at the end of a show… how, how apropos.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:17 amJeopardy?
“I’ll take ‘Blood-Thirsty Incompetent Fools’ for $100 billion dollars, Alex…”
February 24th, 2009 at 10:17 amSo he’s going to make a “ridiculous” amount of money by turd-polishing?
Let’s compare this to other past presidents –
His two immediate predecessors, Bill Clinton and his father, worked together for relief efforts for the victims of the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.
Jimmy Carter built houses, worked to advance world peace through the Carter Center, and managed to snag a Nobel Peace Prize.
Even Richard Nixon managed to write a handful of books that were more than just ghost-written puff pieces.
Of course, it’s still early in Dubya’s post-presidency. But he might want to think about what he can do besides lie for money.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:18 amHis policies, while controversial at times, kept the country safe for more than seven years and liberated more than 50 million people from tyranny.
As noted by other people, it doesn’t say much about that first year in office, does it? And what about that little thing called Katrina? I’m sure New Orleans felt real safe.
And what about the 300 million who are now suffering under the economic tyranny that he forced on us?
February 24th, 2009 at 10:18 amWe weren’t attacked on the homeland for the eight years BEFORE September 11. But I don’t hear Clinton running around saying I kept you safe.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:24 ammissmolly, I’m confident that he has thought about it (well, his handlers thought about it, anyway) and realized that lying for money is pretty much the only thing he can do at this point.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:26 amHis policies, while controversial at times, kept the country safe for more than seven years and liberated more than 50 million people from tyranny.
Aside from the 5000 dead American soldiers, millions of Americans thrown into poverty and the million Iraqi deads and another 4 million displaced…

This is also very laughable.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:30 amI guess he’s sobered enough after a month-long hide-away.
It’s hard to imagine anyone paying to hear him say a word.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:30 am…and STILL kept the nation safe for more than seven years.
(BTW, how exactly was Clinton supposed to know of these plans being made in secret? At least Dubya had a heads-up… remember? the PDB titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US”? Oh, you forgot about that one. Big surprise.)

February 24th, 2009 at 10:33 amOne can challenge the “he kept us safe” meme by demanding to know what specific terrorist attacks were thwarted.
The Clinton administration thwarted several al Qaeda plots, including one scheduled for New Year’s Eve of 1999 which would have been bigger than 9/11. That’s what you call keeping us safe.
But Bush and his apologists can cite no such attacks thwarted, because there were none.

February 24th, 2009 at 10:33 amI suppose by keeping the events “closed” they won’t have to make everyone leave their shoes at the door. This way even if there’s a hail of pennyless loafers thrown at him there’s no one to report it. Better yet, maybe that’s what these events are, like a dunk-tank, instead you get to throw shoes at the clown.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:35 amIn 2007, Bush said he was looking forward to making a “ridiculous” amount of money on the lecture circuit once leaving the White House.
When Bush was campaigning for the presidency he had a personal fortune estimated at about $20 million.
Then he was paid $400,000 a year as president ‘taking home’ about $300,000, thus making approximately $2.4 million during his tenure. His only expense was his ‘ranch’ which, as he spent about 30% of his time there, I imagine was fully subsidized.
Given his ‘accomplishments’ I’d say he has already made ‘ridiculous’ money–not in gross amounts (see Wall Street bonuses) but in general.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:35 amClinton before him of course got the same salary and benefits, but given what his administration accomplished for the nation the money he received for doing his job was not ridiculous at all.

__________________________________________________________
And your point is…what, exactly? Are you suggesting that the 9/11 attacks happened because Clinton got a BJ? And that had he kept his pants zipped, they wouldn’t have happened? Huh?
February 24th, 2009 at 10:36 amI guess this dope will forget to mention the 4,400 + Americans he sent to be killed in Iraq or the 30,000 + Americans wounded or maimed on the same adventure he authored. That little detail seems to escape all those Bushbot neocon leg humpers whenever they bring up this false analogy.

Some presidents try to pass along the information necessary to prevent such attacks, only to have it ignored by AGs more interested in covering up the tits on statues than going after terrorists.
Then there are the presidents who choose to ignore security briefings entitled “Bin Laden Determined To Strike Inside US”…

February 24th, 2009 at 10:41 amIt’s the job they are supposed to be doing.
Bush ignored intelligence reports, he was too busy trying to find a reason to invade the Middle East
Will chimpy be taking questions?
February 24th, 2009 at 10:41 amBush and the rest of his creepy followers constantly tell us that “there haven’t been any attacks since 9/11.” When you hear that say in return, “but there was an attack after 9/10.” They usually get a stupid look on their face and then walk past you.
This Revisionist History 101 tour of the Chimps should be most interesting. I’m hoping that in his massive stupidity he admits to even more war crimes. Is anyone in The Hague following this tour?

Surely you jest. The Fort Dix was debunked as a few mentally deranged guys who were going to over throw the fort by slipping in as pizza guys. The LA deal has been debunked several time. There was no building by the name they claim was going to be hit. W was on call the day of 911. Face it. The greatest attack in American history on our land and the president was on vacation in Crawford, TX and he had been warned of a possible attack. W was a gross failure.

February 24th, 2009 at 10:45 amPolitical experts say the speech may be a safe and lucrative way for Bush to venture out.
“He’s probably accomplishing the first thimbleful of money back into the old coffers, as he said he was looking forward to doing, but he’s careful not to go too far before an audience where shoes might be thrown,” said SMU political science professor Cal Jillson. “It does sound like he’s not going to play without a net for some time.”
Shoes? Why would anyone want to throw shoes at Bush?

February 24th, 2009 at 10:52 amNow the increasing anemic Mr. Philby offers an op-ed from Mansoor Ijaz blaming Clinton for refusing an offer to have bin Laden handed over to him.
Of course Mr. Philby fails to include a link to his cut-and-paste, but more than that…
Several sources dispute Ijaz’s claim, including the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States (the 9-11 Commission) which concluded in part “Sudan’s minister of defense, Fatih Erwa, has claimed that Sudan offered to hand Bin Ladin over to the United States. The Commission has found no credible evidence that this was so. Ambassador Carney had instructions only to push the Sudanese to expel Bin Ladin. Ambassador Carney had no legal basis to ask for more from the Sudanese since, at the time, there was no indictment out-standing.”
Really, really weak, Kim ol’ buddy.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:52 am“…and liberated more than 50 million people”
Once the UK and Commonwealth, the US and handful of partisans and ex-pats together liberated North Africa, Greece, Turkey, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Poland, Burma, the Philippines, etc in about 3 years, the fighting stopped and reconstruction began.
After 7 years in Afghanistan and 6 years in Iraq the fighting hasn’t stopped and reconstruction has barely started.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:52 amLiberation clearly means different things to different people.
At least President Bush was a step up from Carter and Clinton.
You’re right: as in “12 steps”.

February 24th, 2009 at 10:53 amIn reply to Mr P’s endless babling about It’s All Clinton’s Fault™, I went looking for a valid link about the reported FIFTY TWO F-in’ warnings the FAA reportedly got leading up to 9/11.
FIFTY TWO… and Condisleeza Rice has the gall to claim, “No one could… blah blah blah…”
Well, that little search on my part led me to, of all places Free Republic, where I found the following comment. It is from 2005… but it is also truly demonstrative of the mindset we’re dealing w/ here…
To: Max Combined
Well, I wonder. At some point, the krinton administration engineered a deliberate relaxation in FAA regulations. Algore was instrumental in that caper and it netted the krinton regime some cash donations from various airline carriers. I believe the story was carried in the WSJ, but I am not sure. This scandal broke long, long before 911. In fact, this was discussed at length (and link documentation archived), right here on FR, in the final days of krinton II and the ramping up of Algore’s doomed flight to nowhere.

2) If in free speech, is someone printing up shirts with an outline of a shoe on them ? I don’t like the idea of taking shoes as almost certainly someone will throw one, and that looks bad for the opposition to Bush. Instead, an outline of a shoe gets the point across and can actually look classy.

By the way P., did Bush protect America from those anthrax attacks? No? Did he catch the responsible party? No? Well, there goes that arguement of yours. You do know that the terrorist attackers from the Clinton era were caught and imprisoned right? Whatever happened to that Bin Laden guy Mr P.? “Dead or alive” were the words that Bush used weren’t they? Seems like Republicans are not the big protectors that they make themselves out to be.

I was impressed that “Philby” refrained from ad hominem comments about loons . . . oh, wait. He didn’t.

February 24th, 2009 at 11:32 amMr. P, if you’ve got nothing, it’s usually advisable to just sit there and say nothing.
Otherwise you risk being made a fool. As your performance this morning amply demonstrates.
February 24th, 2009 at 11:33 amWill Bush be wearing his debate wire, just in case anyone asks a question, or he loses his place in the talking points?

The closed event is being billed as “a conversation with George W. Bush,” during which he will “share his thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office.”
In CANADA–not in the U.S.
“closed”–select audience
“conversation”–Botch will ramble; others will listen and cheer
“share his thoughts”–then he’ll have to cite sources, since actual “thoughts” seldom crossed his mind
“momentous”–8 years filled with “moments” and their consequences for which the U.S. will suffer for years, at home and in reputation abroad
“in the Oval Office”–when he wasn’t taking more vacations than ANY previous president
Oh, yeah, that “lecture” will be a treat for the trolls. But when excerpts/reports are made public, it will be a treat for troll-thumpers.

Should be a very short conversation, especially if he focuses on his achievements.
Again, we are forgetting our repukespeak; anything done by Botch is automatically an “achievement”:
*heralding and facilitating the worst collapse of U.S. economy since the Depression;
*reading to a class of kids while aircraft were flying into the WTC;
*buying/stealing elections;
*consistently lying to the U.S. and to potential allies;
*smashing civil rights;
*violating the Geneva Convention;
*starting a war based on lies;
*eviscerating the Constitution;
*appointing toadies to help eviscerate those Cabinets and agencies which exist “to promote the general welfare”;
*ignoring all warnings about Katrina;
*facilitating the awarding of multimillions to non-bidding corporations owned by friends;
*taking more vacation time than any president in living memory. . .
In repukespeak, those are ALL “accomplishments.”
February 24th, 2009 at 11:48 amWhat? Dammit Philby, you made me lose my train of thought again.
February 24th, 2009 at 11:48 amOkay, before I’m off to lunch (and if Mr.P is still around), under whose watch did 9/11 happen?
Anthrax attacks?
Color coded terror warnings?
Sniper attacks?
You can deal in hypotheticals all you want (Clinton should have done this, Clinton shouldn’t have done that, yadda yadda yadda). I deal in reality.
So, again, answer me this. Who was the commander in chief during our nations worst major terrorist attack? And the subsequent smaller ones?

“I really do not understand the vitriol about President George W. Bush…”
– Then you haven’t been paying much attention, have you? I recommend turning off AM radio and reading the news once in awhile.
“…it seems our problems started about two years ago, about the same time the Democrats took over, probably just a coincidence.”
– Um…which “problems” would these be? The problem of getting mired in somebody else’s civil war? More than two years ago. The problem of unaffordable health insurance? More than two years ago. The problem of the entire world hating us? More than two years ago. The problem of our government eroding our freedoms in the name of “security”? More than two years ago. And if you’re going to blame our current economic woes on a razor-thin and completely ineffective Democratic majority in Congress when your party was deregulating like mad and allowing the corporate fat cats to loot and pillage, you’ll have to provide some proof in detail.
“At least President Bush was a step up from Carter and Clinton.”
February 24th, 2009 at 11:54 am– Well, he was a little bit taller than Carter. And his president number was higher than both. But other than that, I see no evidence of Bush being higher in stature than either one of them. Oh, you can say it, but that doesn’t make it so.

February 24th, 2009 at 12:54 pmI’ve scrolled a ways up and I’m not sure what Mr. Philby’s arguing for here at all. He seems to be skirting around debates that we’ve already had with much more thorough trolls before. It seems to be a somewhat common wingnut troll tactic – to insinuate their position, rather than to actually make any case at all. Usually trolls can be drawn into direct discussion including full explanation of their position and citing of sources, but Philby seems to be immune. He hints that Dems were responsible for deregulation, but doesn’t support it. He hints that Bush’s illegal actions prevented major terrorist attacks, but doesn’t support it.
By now it’s quite clear that Philby simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s in a league way over his head here, and doesn’t know what to do other than repeat a few phrases he’s heard about over at freep. It’s really a shame.

February 24th, 2009 at 1:12 pmI must agree with 5thEstate on this one,.It depends on a persons view of the word (liberated)…Now if one say’s 3,000 death’s on 9/11. 1,500 N,O, citizen’s, nearly 4,500 military, Over 1 million Iraq men, women and children, 2,000 Lebanon citizen’s were liberated from living on our planet, also add the recent Gaza genocide because of bull shit bush’s administration intent or design then yes I guess one could say he has liberated all these….
Next let me add, if one say’s the bush regime has liberated 300 million present American citizens and most likely 4 generation’s to come from life, liberty and the persuet of happiness and given it all away to his top 2% of the filthy rich, banker’s and industrial polluter’s I would have to say yes again…Let us not forget all the cute new law’s like the patriot act, FISA and other’s we have been liberated from….Jeebos…So much for being liberated.

February 24th, 2009 at 1:59 pmOf course they’re partisan. Your mistake in assuming that “partisan d-bag” is a single phrase.
In fact it consists of two parts — “partisan” which is not necessarily good or bad, but simply describes a condition of which both you and TP take part, and “d-bag” which is a decided insult and in this case when applied to you, is appropriate.
So, to recap: one can be a partisan without being a d-bag, or one can be both, as you have demonstrated, and be thusly termed a “partisan d-bag”.

You see, a reasonable observer might look beyond a single issue’s performance on ballots in select states, and might instead look at national poll results on such issues as universal health care, abortion rights, economic policies… or they might look at the overwhelming results of recent elections…
And, based on most of these elements, it appears that the US is a left-leaning nation.
Of course, you have your “gay marriage” talking point to rebut all of these issues.
Of course, this still has nothing to do with “liberal hypocrisy”, unless your definition of “hypocrisy” differs from mine. or from Webster’s>

(Sorry for the 4-Chan Speak. But I’m sorry, Mr. P has never made sense, and now he’s back and we’re giving him what he so desperately needs? Let him find his lulz elsewhere, eh?)
February 24th, 2009 at 2:27 pmYes, we know about your marriage. You really must learn to move on. There is a Republican transexual in the Steele-crazy thread who might marry you. Her name is trans menace. I think you two will hit it off nicely.

2 diversions. Shocker!
“…skank from Tennessee?”

shocker.

February 24th, 2009 at 2:31 pmJeez, Jeremy, let me have my fun, huh? I haven’t played a good game of Whack-A-Troll™ since… yesterday.
besides, I’m helping dbadass research his dissertation.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:31 pmMr. Philby Says:
4 diversions mixed with personal attacks. Nice rebuttals!

hey if you don’t want to chat
about the skank just say
“i don’t want to talk about the skank“.

simple.

i don’t think he watched it,
do you?

February 24th, 2009 at 2:35 pmRalph:
Sure…if you don’t mind being played by Mr. P for the lulz. I’m not up for such a game, and I feel if we save the Whack-A-Troll(tm) for the more worthy trolls, this particular nuisance will get lost. But it’s your call. ;)

Though I will say…this is the price of success. Ah, the sweet taste of victory. Not even Obvious Troll can overcome that. The sweet taste of victory that can only be brought by a nearly 2/3rds majority in the House and a 59 vote lead in the House. And clearly, Spectre, Snow, and Collins can read the writing on the board. So Obvious Troll tries to get its lulz, but what I really love is that we have epic lulz…in the form of President Barack Obama and a heavily Democratic House and Senate. Epic Lulz for the Win. ;) OK, I’ll stop now. ;) :-D
February 24th, 2009 at 2:39 pmI see your point, Jeremy. Mr. P was fun to bash around for a while, but now that he’s completely abandoned the pretense of making arguments in favor of simply vomiting on the thread, he’s not so much fun.
February 24th, 2009 at 2:47 pmThis worm robbed us blind, staged terrorist attacks and killed over 3,000 on 9/11 to start a criminal war against Iraq, destroyed our economy, lied every single time he spoke, and now dumb idiots pay money to hear him lie some more!

we don’t know about all the “dumb idiots”.
mr. p has not said if he will
“pay money to hear him lie some more!”

February 24th, 2009 at 2:51 pmDaTruth, what have worms ever done to you to deserve to be lumped into the same group as Ex-President Bush (man, doesn’t that roll off the tongue SO easily. Ex-President Bush. Yeehaa!!!)
:-D
February 24th, 2009 at 2:52 pmPost hoc ergo propter hoc.
I’ve been wearing my anti-terrorist undies – the whites – since September 11, 2001. We have not been attacked by terrorists since then. Therefore, my anti-terrorist undies repel terrorists (and everyone else).
February 24th, 2009 at 3:16 pmYou don’t even want to know what Rudy Giuliani’s anti-terrorist undies are like.
By the way, where does George W. Bush get off telling everyone he has kept us safe since 9/11? I thought Giuliani had a copyright on that claim.
February 24th, 2009 at 3:39 pmMr. P, if this was a boxing match, they’d have stopped it about 200 posts ago. Seriously, you’re absorbing a world-class trouncing and you don’t even seem to notice. You’d have better luck doing damage control for John Wilkes Booth. Because when you think about it, he only assassinated a president once. None (0) after April 14, 1865!
February 24th, 2009 at 6:24 pmNo matter how hard he tries, no matter how long he tries, it still comes down to, he lied and fabricated intelligence to take us to war – in my book his actions were that of a traitor and criminal.
February 24th, 2009 at 6:30 pmDon’t you have to learn to speak before you can book a tour?
February 24th, 2009 at 6:41 pmPhilly 2002
No one can explain anything to you. You are far too stupid and brainwashed. You dont even understand ICE until Rush tells you about it.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:47 pmBush should launch his speaking career by telling everybody that he committed innumerable hate crimes.
George W. Bush is a hate-crime criminal (indicated at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-did-you-think-of-that-naacp-anti.html “George W. Bush had better stop committing hate crimes”).
