Classic George W. Bush

He's the only person who can take a laundry list of blunders and find the "bright side:"

I've been -- since I've been your President, I want to remind you we have been through a recession, we have been through a terrorist attack, we have been at war, we have had corporate scandals, we have had major natural disasters, and yet this economy always recovers. We're a resilient economy because we've got good, capable, smart, hardworking people in America. And I know it's tough times, and I know you're having to pay more at the fuel pump than you want, but this economy is going to come on. I'm confident it will. And I want to thank the folks at World Wide for being a part of the leading edge of optimism here in America; a leading edge in making sure that people can find good, hard -- paying jobs.

My irony-meter is off the charts.

1. His plan to use tax cuts during the recession didn't work. The fact that we're in another recession is proof of that.


2. His lazy approach toward governance and desire to be "different" than Bill Clinton and his own father played heavily in the success of said terrorist attack.


3. He lied to Congress, the American People and the world in order to start a war.


4. One of his supposed selling points was that his business background would at least minimize such corporate scandals.


5. While people were drowning due tho Hurricane Katrina, he was playing the guitar, sharing cake with John McCain, and treating the situation like it was just a flooded basement and not an event of near-biblical proportions. Like the Minnesota bridge collapse, he and his posse decided to play politics when it became clear that people were looking to the federal government to help.


6. The reason we are paying more at the pump is because of the war (see #s 2 & 3), as well as his laissez-faire attitude to regulation (see #4).

Then again, his wife is no better.
