President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at Sydney
 

SYDNEY, Australia - President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at the Sydney Opera House.
He'd only reached the third sentence of Friday's speech to business leaders, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe.

"Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit," Bush said to Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

Oops. That would be APEC, the annual meeting of leaders from 21 Pacific Rim nations, not OPEC, the cartel of 12 major oil producers.

Bush quickly corrected himself. "APEC summit," he said forcefully, joking that Howard had invited him to the OPEC summit next year (for the record, an impossibility, since neither Australia nor the U.S. are OPEC members).
The president's next goof went uncorrected ? by him anyway. Talking about Howard's visit to Iraq last year to thank his country's soldiers serving there, Bush called them "Austrian troops."

That one was fixed for him. Though tapes of the speech clearly show Bush saying "Austrian," the official text released by the White House switched it to "Australian."

Then, speech done, Bush confidently headed out ? the wrong way.

He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Howard and others redirected the president to center stage, where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theater.

The event had inauspicious beginnings. Bush started 10 minutes late, so that APEC workers could hustle people out of the theater's balcony seating to fill the many empty portions of the main orchestra section below ? which is most visible on camera.

Even resettled, the audience remained quiet throughout the president's remarks, applauding only when he was finished.

A logistical glitch added to the woes.

APEC security workers would not allow the members of the media who travel in Bush's motorcade to enter the Opera House along with him. This even though the journalists allowed into the president's entourage are extensively screened and guarded by the Secret Service, which has more stringent security standards than about any operation in the world. And even though they always accompany him into public events.

As a result, while Bush spoke, the traveling media cooled its heels outside the landmark Opera House, shooting pictures and watching boats in the harbor.

... this guy will be leading us into Iran Soon.

With his sense of direction, he might lead you into Kazakhstan instead :2 cents:

maybe the prez has been hittin the hooch again.

How can the people of this country pick such a dumb person?

to bad he did not fall

fucking idiot.

Because, sadly, the majority are seduced by the hype pour into their drone-like brains from the media.

Simple teh GOP is good at convincing redneck inbreds that Gore or Kerry would take away their guns. I mean how can you have a shotgun wedding involving first cousins without a shotgun?

Jesus Marketing :thumbsup

the answer is in .... the question :2 cents:

At least we know where his mind is.

jeez, it's like the old guy with Alzheimer's from across the street is running the country.

does anyone remmember a president as stupid as him in the last 50 years or so ?

Fuck the last 50 years. There has not been a dumber president in the history of this country. Even his father was smarter. His father at least knew how to keep his mouth shut and pretend like he cared what the people on the other side of the isle thought, even if he really didn't give a good goddamn.

Lets see, he has gotten everything he wanted. Keep thinking he is stupid and you will be voting for Obama or Clinton both with the same agenda as Bush all CFR members. :thumbsup

I do and say stupid shit when I am drunk too.

I'll take a bumbling, authentic Bush any day over a phony, blow dried, slick Willy Clinton.

Kind of easy to do when your party controlls both houses of congress and the supreme court. That's like saying Stalin and Hilter were smart because they always got what they wanted.

What a clown. LOL

:thumbsup

idiots like idiots ....

PS: I don't like you ... idiot!

Birds of a feather...

and people voted for this smuck twice.

did u see what the guys from the aussie tv show 'chasers war on everything' did?
"TV stunt results in arrests
SYDNEY, Australia | Members of an Australian TV comedy show, one dressed as Osama bin Laden, drove through two security checkpoints Thursday before being stopped near the hotel where President Bush was staying.

The stunt embarrassed Sydney police, who have imposed the tightest security measures in city history for a summit of leaders from Pacific Rim countries, including Bush.

Police arrested 11 cast and crew members from the TV program “The Chaser’s War on Everything” and impounded three vehicles, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. said on its Web site.

Cast members put together a sham motorcade, hiring two motorcycles and three large cars on which they put Canadian flags. Police waved the motorcade through two checkpoints before pulling it over near a hotel.

Cast member Chas Licciardello got out of the car dressed in a white tunic and cap and wearing a fake bin Laden-style beard."

No one died from Clinton's blowjob and we had cheap gas, no wars going on and a good economy. Enough said.

Couldn't have said it better myself. When Clinton was prez, life certainly seemed a lot better.

Ya'll should remember, that back 50, 30 or even 20 years ago, there was no 24/7 news cycle. Many stupidities throughout history, were never brought to the public's attention.

Yathink in JFK's era, that CBS would even know that a military aircraft crew, forgot to off load the bombs- before heading to Mississippi?

Nahhh ...

But I agree, he is one dumb sonofabith.

Another way of looking at it could be to ask - Is there any other leader of the western world or thru to the Russian side, who exhibits himself so badly as an ambassador and is well-known for his ineptitude??

Most of these people have spent decades in lesser postions and gathered some experience in that time - as opposed to being an incompetent "entrepreneur" who then progressed to economic unsustainably in the State of Texas as governor and then progressed further to a grander scale of scewing the whole nation economically and at other levels.

Who knows... but smell the procedure for electing a President is defective and based on a popularity score by people who really don't know anything about the lineup of candidates (and never will know), as opposed to ability to effectively manage a nation based on a solid track record of experience.

It's only my :2 cents: and simplified version, but think of this as no different to running a corporation and serving shareholders. Corp presidents are not put in that position based on their poor track record inability to achieve or perform.

Here's a lil ditty from Red Schwartz, that is oh so very fitting!

Clinton Got A Blow Job.

All you WYPDers, loosen up those vocal chords, we are gona be singin' out loud and taping it for submission.

I'm glad Bush can't help but be Bush. This way the whole world can clearly see what we have to deal with over here. Sorry world, it'll be over soon! :1orglaugh

You need a serious history lesson.

President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day errr Presidency

Osama Bin Laden came off as a batter guy for President in his last video than Bush.

Makes me wonder who writes his speeches for him or why he doesn't learn to practice before he makes them in public as he got so many errors in the past.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Every day Bush's presidency reminds me more and more of the Peter Sellers film "Being There":

In a perfect world, it'd only be news-worthy when Bush actually does something right.

Then we wouldn't have to hear about the clown whatsoever.

i dont think people should be complaining at the president.

the president is the people.

blame the people who put him in there.

Yeah, I know. Ron Brown, et. al. Who cares? Those people mean nothing to me and I don't really care if Clinton had them killed as NewsMax claims.

Bush kills innocent kids so he can play General. Some of these kids are prolly still virgins. Most have not even lived out of their early 20s. They enlisted to defend their country should it be attacked. They did not enlist so they could be flown around the world to be shot at for no reason.

This country was attacked all right. By Bush and his cronies.
