[bigwillq]

2. I like the one about the OBGYNs

don't have the specific quote.

Guess I should Google it! :)

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I think it goes

OB GYNs all over the country can't practice their love with women.

[bigwillq]

4. To be specific....

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country." --George W. Bush, Sept. 6, 2004, Poplar Bluff, Mo.

GOOGLE is a good friend! :)

6. I'd like to add my own

"I think we are welcomed. But it was not a peaceful welcome."—Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 2005, on the reception of American forces in Iraq

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Oh I hadn't heard that one

What a moran.

[Critters2]

21. I remember when he said that!!

It was in a televised news conference--maybe the one where he took questions from the public. I couldn't believe my ears!! What a maroon!!:banghead:

[countingbluecars]

7. This one really made me mad.

"I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say. But I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life. ... And part of my being is to be outside exercising."

Bush, on Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil outside his ranch in Crawford, Texas

[Nutmegger]

9. ARRGGGGG!!!

:grr::grr::grr::grr:

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Yes he said that while I was in Crawford

I wanted to go down the road to have a talk with him at the ranch after hearing that.

Hey, CBC, my all time fave has to be: Is our children learning?

LOL Why yes, dubya, I believes they is.

[bammertheblue]

16. "I believe that

the human being and the fish can coexist." That one's grammatically correct, which is a bit of an accomplishment for him... it just makes NO sense.

[countingbluecars]

17. And our children 'is learning' more geography than *

"Wow! Brazil is big."

George W. Bush, after being shown a map of Brazil by Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brasilia, Brazil, Nov. 6, 2005

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. He has obviously been affected by

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

[txindy]

19. Well, that explains why he hired Chertoff then.

They think alike. Chertoff's the one that said, "Louisiana is a city that is under water" after Katrina hit.
Yep, one really, really big city, Mikey. :eyes:

[Critters2]

22. "Brazil is big"!!!

I hadn't heard that one!! OMG!! My dog is smarter than this moron...and my dog's a beagle!!!

" I mean, there was a serious international effort to say to Saddam Hussein, you're a threat. And the 9/11 attacks extenuated that threat, as far as I -- concerned." Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dec. 12, 2005


Uh -- George, I do not think that word means what you think it means!

10. While people were in the Superdome, Bush Inc had this to say:

"Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house—he's lost his entire house—there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." —Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005

On edit: sorry, suppose to be a reply to the original. :dunce:

11. oh, how could I have forgotten?

"See, NORTHCOM is the main entity that interfaces, that uses federal assets, federal troops to interface with local and state government. I want to watch that relationship. It's an important relationship, and I need to understand how it works better."
-- Sep. 23, 2005 (keep in mind that Bush had already served 6 years as Texas Governor and 4 years as US President)


"Here's what I believe. I believe that the great city of New Orleans will rise again and be a greater city of New Orleans. I believe the town where I used to come -- from Houston, Texas, to enjoy myself, occasionally too much -- will be that very same town, that it will be a better place to come to."
-- Sep. 2, 2005

"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."

I hear he's a little peeved at the lack of response by FEMA, etc.

15. There were so many - my favorite

"Because the—all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those—changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be—or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the—like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate—the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those—if that growth is affected, it will help on the red."—Explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

20. "Disassemble"

"It seemed like to me they based some of their decisions on the word of - and the allegations - by people who were held in detention, people who hate America, people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble - that means not tell the truth."
