Bush still pre-screening questions at speaking events.
Bush still pre-screening questions at speaking events.
Throughout George W. Bush’s presidency, his handlers always made a special effort to ensure his appearances with regular Americans were scripted in such a way that shined the best possible light on Bush and his polices. Whether he was meeting troops in Iraq, leading “Ask President Bush” re-election campaign events, or trying to sell his (failed) Social Security reform plan, Bush always had a friend in the audience ready to ask a softball question or heap praise on the president. It appears that old habits die hard, as those attending Bush’s upcoming speech in Michigan will be forced to submit their questions ahead of time:
Former President George W. Bush will make a stop in Michiana on Thursday. He is scheduled to speak to the Economic Club in Benton Harbor this evening. Mister Bush will answer questions that have been submitted.
Even though Bush recently acknowledged that it is “liberating” to no longer be president, he apparently still feels “pretty comfortable inside the bubble.”

May 28th, 2009 at 1:49 pmsomeone might ask him “what role did you play in approving the torture and rape of detainees?”
he can’t have that
May 28th, 2009 at 1:49 pmHe’ll only answer questions that have been submitted because it’ll take his handlers to convert the questions into picture format so he can read them.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:50 pmWhy is this WAR CRIMINAL not in prison?
May 28th, 2009 at 1:50 pmBush is a christian sociopath. He couldn’t care less about the disaster he left behind. It’s bad enough that he approved of torture but knowing that he allowed rape of detainees is even worse. It’s sickening.

I have a question for Mr Bush:
How does one “Fix a Fact around a policy”?

May 28th, 2009 at 1:55 pmThe questions need to be reviewed because his handlers need to make sure that Bush can read and understand the words.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:56 pmBut will the questioners have to take that infamous Oath of Loyalty promising to ask the actual question they sumbitted? Because it would great to see the entire crowd go off script!

President Obama has demonstrated that he is not only willing to answer direct questions that have not been prescreened, but he allows all people into his town halls without having to sign a stupid Oath of Loyalty. His administration also doesn’t deny people with tickets access based on their bumper stickers or t-shirts.

Actually nitwit (it is one word), speeches are pre-planned. That is why they are called speeches. “Speaking from the heart” doesn’t necessarily jive with pre-approved questions and pre-formulated answers. The difference between a Q&A and a speech are about the same as the difference between a hug and a kiss. Both involve physical contact, but they are quite different.

If Bush was willing to “speak from the heart”, why prescreen the audience for loyalists only, and why demand questions be submitted in advance?
Your argument is sinking faster than the GNOP’s approval ratings.
PEACE
May 28th, 2009 at 2:05 pmI can’t decide which is worse, the village idiot screening his questions, or the bigger bastards who comprise bush’s audience or who submit questions (fully expecting anything enlightening or conclusive, presuming they’re not just hired bush relatives…)
In 2009, there are still people who think anything other than scripted and rehearsed replies are a possibility; like watching a modern-day candidate ‘debate’ to learn new information.
America is an unqualified disgrace for allowing bush to keep catapulting the propaganda; bush’s audience is yet a deeper disgrace to America for having no viable working synapses, or jut not bothering to employ them if they do.

You seem to be confusing politics with jazz. Believe it or not, politics is not actually an exercise in freestyle improvisation.
All successful politicians plan what they’re going to say before they say it. That’s what politicians do in order to avoid sounding like blundering idiots. They write speeches ahead of time. They rehearse anticipated questions before press conferences and debates. They know what they’re going to say before they say it.
Are you seriously trying to argue that Bush never pre-planned his speeches and never rehearsed answers to anticipated questions? If you’re going to make an allegation like that, you will need to provide some proof.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:16 pmWhat has stopped, so far, anyone from wearing a “I heart Bush” shirt, submitting a question such as “how do you handle being so manly?” and then, when called on, asking a real question ?

As did Bush. But the difference between Bush using a teleprompter and Obama using one is that Obama doesn’t need the hard words spelled phonetically so he can pronounce them correctly.

May 28th, 2009 at 2:33 pmI once read a study done on the speechwriting of recent presidents. It found that Bill Clinton wrote and/or had more input into his own speeches than anyone else. They also found that Ronald Reagan was completely uninvolved in anything to do with his speeches other than reading them to his audience. I’m sure Bush Jr. just read whatever Cheney handed him.

Very smartly, by ignoring FauxSchnooz (the Bush-water-carriers only source of “news”) at most his press conferences.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pmHe looks like he is already soused. Three sheets to the wind, pickled, pie eyed, drunk. And of course he wants the questions submitted first. That gives his minions time to get the easiest ones. And time to whisper in his ear phone, the right answers as they did in some of his debates.
He is unable to answer any questions off the cuff or from a audience not pre-screened first.

May 28th, 2009 at 4:20 pmHe has no idea what you are talking about. The Bushie wingnuts have used their cognitive dissonance to remove this story from their little alternate reality.

May 28th, 2009 at 4:43 pmHey guys! That’s how Bushitco got through college. Same old MO – get those questions up front so you can “ace” the test. He’s always been a fraud and a cheat.
Shoeless: Would that be Jeffy “Lube” (Gannon/Guckert you’re referring to? The one who was ’servicing’ someone in the white house until the wee hours of the morning?? Then Bush realized that the people were onto his “trickster” and classified the visitor’s logs. The horse was already outta the barn by then.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:45 pm…
sorry guys,
just got here didn’t see
all the other jeff gannon comments.
**
btw, this adds up:
jeff gannon = james guckert = cfp
___
May 28th, 2009 at 4:45 pmJeffy Lube’s gonna do some singing soon and it ain’t going to be pretty for Bush’s legacy.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:45 pmI think the real story here is Bush is still being asked to speaking events.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:48 pm***
still waiting to hear if cfp
will stand up for jeff gannon
or will he throw him under the bus…?
(or is he jeff gannon?)
:)
May 28th, 2009 at 4:54 pmCome to think of it, I don’t remember President Obama taking questions off script or from non-fawning press, since Joe the Plumber!
May 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pmI am not proud to have this torture supporting mucking foron in Southwest Michigan.
I wish it was a true town hall meeting with invitations for all.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:03 pmBecause I have one helluva question regarding torture.
Maybe two.
Yes, but you don’t remember Jeff Gannon/James Guckert either.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:13 pmshoeless,
Why don’t you try living in the present, let go of some of your conspiracy theories.
Our country would be better served with more people paying attention to what our CURRENT President is up to.

He does so all the time. If you don’t remember any of what goes on every day, it’s probably because you have brain damage.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:37 pmto Romartin16985 and Merdad:
We cannot as a country “move forward” until we tend to the mess left by the previous administration.
Kinda like the circus: when the elephants parade across the ring, they draw lots of attention ’cause they’re big and loud and lumbering. Unfortunately, there’s always a follow-up crew to scoop up afterwards.
Doubly unfortunately, we’ve got more than just elephant poop to clean up after Sir George and Company. We’ve got the tarnished image of our country because of torture. And there’s no “…but, but, but Clinton” to deflect blame on this one. Bush owns it. Entirely. All on his watch.
Little wonder he screens all questions and attendees.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:54 pm. . . in #133 shoulda said, “…a follow-up crew needed . . .”
May 28th, 2009 at 5:55 pmIsn’t it interesting that one wingnut troll urges us to “live in the present” (i. e. pay no attention to any war crimes that may or may not have been committed. That’s ancient history!). immediately after another plays the “Clinton Did It!™” card.
Try to stay on the same page, guys!
May 28th, 2009 at 5:56 pmthought the same thing, ralph!
May 28th, 2009 at 5:57 pmDamn I hate tax whiners…
May 28th, 2009 at 5:59 pmI was born & raised in West Michigan and with all due respect to Benton Harbor, it is a backwater. It is far enough from Chicago, Grand Rapids and Detroit that the event should draw a solidly pro-Bush audience. If he has to take the additional step of screening them, then he is even more pathetic than I had previously thought. Consequently, I will revise my estimation of him even lower.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:59 pmHe executed his duties to the best of his knowledge
May 28th, 2009 at 6:01 pm—-
This is the part that amuses me…
All,
Romartin16985 is a trolling literalist, quite possibly a Christian fundamentalist, who is only able to grasp one concept at a time. Don’t waste your time attempting to “dialogue” with such an individual; he/she is not visiting this site for purposes of adult discussion.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:02 pmIt appears that he lacked the knowledge that the judge that Merdad thinks is too liberal was in fact too liberal….
May 28th, 2009 at 6:02 pmLooks like when Smug finds he has no response to a conservative (on another topic here), he sure feels threatened!
I’m fine with ignoring you too, as you’re not nearly as intelligent or interesting as you would like others here to believe.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:22 pmMerdad.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:26 pmWhy did two Bush administrations support this judge you don’t like or did Fatass Druggie Adjustable Bed Hawking U not address that in the curriculum?
Since when do Supreme Court justices single-handedly overturn prior Supreme Court decisions at their whim? If I’m not mistaken, the Supreme Court decides what court cases they’ll hear as a group. If Sotomayor ever addresses abortion or any other issue as a SC justice, it will be because 4 other justices have agreed to take a related case.
May 28th, 2009 at 6:36 pmBush is dumb, period.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:40 pmIs Dubya aware that the “OK” gesture he’s making in the above photo is considered obscene in many cultures? Probably not.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:40 pmMerdad, you’re right that we liberals spread hate.
We hate stupidity, ignorance, religious extremism, callousness, selfishness, greed, cruelty, torture, fascism, despotism, oppression, warmongering, war-profiteering, corruption, viciousness, liars, incompetence, arrogance, idiocy, etc. etc.

He is the tax man.
Technically, that’d be Geithner, ha ha.
Also, Obama’s tax plan cuts taxes for most Americans.

May 29th, 2009 at 2:48 amOh my God: George W. Bush murdered Margie Schoedinger, and he is free and going around giving speeches. This injustice is horrifying.
(I refer to myself in the third person (“THE DISSEMINATING MACHINE”) in this note because I really like the sound of my nickname. I understand that it would in general be odd to refer to oneself in the third person.)
On June 10, 2009, “THE DISSEMINATING MACHINE” will start to disseminate thousands of copies of the post indicated below onto the Internet at lightning-like speed. By the end of June, one will be able to go to Google, type “George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her,” hit “Enter,” and find 1,000 or more copies indicating content of the post indicated below. If not—it would only be because the name “George W. Bush” has become substantially less popular on the Internet, and searches relating to “George W. Bush” would thus have turned up less results.
EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!
NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE!
If anyone believes that any non-Jewish Caucasian U.S. president within the next few decades has murdered any racial minority in the disgusting way George W. Bush murdered Margie Schoedinger, please contact “THE DISSEMINATING MACHINE” immediately (by leaving one’s complaint at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2009/01/online-anti-bush-educational-scholastic.html “Post a Comment”), and “THE DISSEMINATING MACHINE” will disseminate thousands of copies of the relevant scandalous presidential information onto the Internet at lightning-like speed (including worldwide dissemination into numerous foreign countries if necessary—in the case that any non-Jewish Caucasian U.S. president has murdered “NUMEROUS” racial minorities in the way George W. Bush murdered Margie Schoedinger). The lovely, beautiful, and great countries of Russia and China are always by default informed of whatever scandalous presidential information—thousands of copies (general dissemination onto the Russian and Chinese Internet, dissemination into Russian and Chinese legislative and executive government units, Russian and Chinese national-security government units, etc.). Copies in Russia and China (general foreign Internet dissemination) shall indicate that the presidents of Russia and China are to be immediately informed of the information relating to scandal(s).
COPY OF POST OF JUNE 2009:
SCANDAL! SCANDAL! SCANDAL!
George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her.“In her suit [against George W. Bush], Margie Schoedinger states that George W. Bush committed sexual crimes against her, organized harassment and moral pressure on her, her family members and close relatives and friends. As Schoedinger said, she was strongly recommended to keep her mouth shut. In addition to that, three unknown men attempted to kidnap her on October 26, 2000. . . . Furthermore, she alleges that George Bush ordered to show pressure on her to the point, when she commits suicide” (http://www.drizzten.com/blog/2002/12/).
“One of those very least were George Bush’s personal complicity in the death (murder to be precise) of my friend Margie Schoedinger in September of 2003” (Leola McConnell (Nevada Progressive Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010). http://leolaforussenate.blogspot.com/2008/02/leola-mcconnell-for-us-senate.html).
Leola McConnell is correct: George W. Bush applying pressure (continuously criminally stalking Margie Schoedinger) purposefully to force Margie Schoedinger to commit suicide does in fact constitute murder.
George W. Bush is a racist hate criminal and hates black people (indicated at andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com).
George W. Bush hates all racial minorities
George W. Bush is a racist hate criminal
George W. Bush hates black people
George W. Bush dislikes or hates Jews in his heart and mind
George W. Bush is a raging racist
BEWARE: If the president of the United States hates one for whatever reasons, he can continuously criminally stalk one to the point that one cannot get away from it, and one ultimately commits suicide in desperation to escape—he can murder people in this way.
George W. Bush is getting away with his murder of Margie Schoedinger—with no sheriff, court, or prosecutor to uphold the rule of law.
George W. Bush’s method of murdering Margie Schoedinger cannot exist in a vacuum: he must have murdered other people in the same way.
George W. Bush should confess, come out with the names of all of the people whom he murdered in the disgusting way he murdered Margie Schoedinger, undergo execution, and accordingly find himself at the intersection where he would be free.
(There are thousands of copies of the information above on the Internet. It exists very extensively in all major search engines. Please feel free to go to any major search engine, type “George W. Bush continuously criminally stalked Margie Schoedinger to the point that she could not get away from it, and she committed suicide in desperation to escape: he murdered her,” and hit “Enter.”)
