What if it was George W. Bush that had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
What if?
Let’s use our imaginations here to see:
What if George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how stupid he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
What if it was George W. Bush that had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
What if George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
What if George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
What if it was George W. Bush that had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
What if it was George W. Bush that had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
What if it was George W. Bush that had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
What if George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
What if it was George W. Bush that had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
What if it was George W. Bush that had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
What if it was George W. Bush that had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
What if it had been George W. Bush's administration that had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually understood what happened on
9-11?
What if George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
What if it was George W. Bush that had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
What if George W Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
Then, what if it was George W. Bush that had proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, please, tell us again!
What is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 6 months, so you'll have three and a half years to come up with an answer.
