I don`t think he is quite yet. Another year maybe.Billo_Really said:I always said that they ought to make it a national holiday the day George Bush becomes a "lame duck" President. Has that day arrived? Are Senate and House Republicans now starting to distance themselves from him and not put priority on is programs? Is Congress now steering the ship with mid-term elections coming up?

I don't know personally, I'm sure if we went through all of the presidents their would be something that would make them a "Lame Duck" President. Bill, I really have to give it to the Democrats for getting ready for the next election. Lets just say, let the parties play their cards, and I will keep calling their bluffs. Its nothing against Democrats or Republicans, I just think those two group play us all for fools. :dohBillo_Really said:I always said that they ought to make it a national holiday the day George Bush becomes a "lame duck" President.

lame duck
n.
An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor.
An officeholder who has chosen not to run for reelection or is ineligible for reelection.
An ineffective person; a weakling.
I don't think he would fit any of these descriptions.
It's interesting how many people are loyal to Bush, but has the latest Katrina video has shown, he is not loyal to them.Originally posted by easyt65
I think the entire mantle/title of 'Lame Duck' is BS and an excuse for anyone who does not want to work with a President. Bush is no less the President today than he was on day 37 of his 1st term in office. He is no less the President of the United States or the Commander in Chief than he was his very 1st day inofficial office.
For the GOP in congress and the senate, he is the leader of the party and the party's President. It is shameful for them to demonstrate such a lack of loyalty by turning on the president because they are worried about his poll numbers and their re-election coming up. This UAE Port deal is a perfect example of creating public hysteria over almost nothing and throwing Bush under the bus in order to say to the American voters, "He may not care about National Security, but I do!" What a crock of cr@p!

To me, not spattering the Oval Office with baby batter is the single greatest abuse of office any president could possibly make… I mean, what’s the point of working your way up to alpha-male, the most powerful position in the world any man could hope to achieve, and not capitalizing on the mating opportunities?!?It's just wrong, and it goes against millions of years of evolution.
hipsterdufus said:NP - One justice died, the other retired, all branches of government are controlled by the GOP, and don't forget about the incredibly inadequate nomination of Harriet Miers. It's hardly a BFD that he got 2 in. I will say that having 2 SCOTUS justices confirmed on his watch will probably go down in history as Bush's biggest "accomplishment." Either that or not splashing the oval office in man juice.
And why Billo_Really do you care about a Chocolate City? No I'm talking about Willy Wanka's Chocolate Factory neither! :roflBillo_Really said:It's interesting how many people are loyal to Bush, but has the latest Katrina video has shown, he is not loyal to them.
I have no clue as to what your talking about.Originally posted by stsburns:

Your spin and bag of lies regarding the video doesn't make it so, billo. As usual, your hate is way out in front of your logic.Billo_Really said:It's interesting how many people are loyal to Bush, but has the latest Katrina video has shown, he is not loyal to them.
When you look back on the last 5 years you will see a President hell bent on destroying this country so multi-national corporations will have good news to tell their stockholders. You will see a President that is not loyal to the country that elected him. This video showed proof that he doesn't care. The Dubai port deal showed he doesn't care. When are you going to stop defending him and start acting like an American citizen?Originally posted by KCConservative:

If I had been president and someone told me the levees wouldn't hold a category 4 storm and then they, indeed, broke 3 days later, I would have made the same remark as Bush. No one could have anticipated that happening. Unless of course, billo, you think he should have done something in those 3 days to prevent it.

"Hate" is your word. I never said I hated Bush. I object to his job performance. And I have every right to say something about it. As far as the "charges", their not trumped up. They are very real. But nothing is done about it because Congress is loyal to the same corporations Bush is and the American people are too stupid to care. Were more concerned about what's happening with Nick and Jessica.Originally posted by KCConservative:
That's what the video showed you, billo. You want to see reasons to hate. I understand. But you throw around opinion like it's the Holy Grail. "destroying the country", "not loyal", "doesn't care". These remarks don't mean anything except to those spewing it. I heard what he said about the breach of the levees and I understood exactly what he meant. Until it happened, no one could have anticipated it. Hey, if it proves something, as you say, why isn't he impeached or in jail? Hell, for that matter, you have had dozens and dozens of trumped up scandals with which to "get him." Have you ever asked yourself why they all go down in flames? You choose not to because it furthers your hatred.
