Quote of the Day
Bush: "And that's why I'm talking about Social Security. And the debate has only just begun. (Applause.) But I believe the side of reform is going to prevail, because the American people now are beginning to realize we have a serious problem when it comes to Social Security. And that problem begins with people like me."

5. Alas, if only it were true.

Here's the whole quote ...

"And that's why I'm talking about Social Security. And the debate has only just begun. (Applause.) But I believe the side of reform is going to prevail, because the American people now are beginning to realize we have a serious problem when it comes to Social Security. And that problem begins with people like me. See, I'm fixing to retire. (Laughter.) As a matter of fact, I turn retirement age in 2008. It turns out to be a convenient time. (Laughter.) But there's a lot of people like me; there's a lot of baby boomers getting ready toretire. As a matter of fact, when we fully retire there will be over 70 million people retired. To put that in perspective, today there are 40 million retirees. So there's a lot of us who will be receiving greater benefits. "


It's not a Bushism, it's his lame attempt at a joke.

11. That made no sense whatsoever!

As usual! Oh and like bu$h will have to rely on SS benefits to make it through his retirement years! :banghead: Who does Commander Cuckoo Bananas think he's kidding with that crap? He and his criminal family have made billions off the American people and that's what the thug will live off of, while the majority of baby boomers won't have enough to buy sand at the beach, thanks to his looting of SS monies. He makes me want to :puke:
