New 'Bushism' Born at Bill Signing

2 hours, 10 minutes ago Add White House - AP to My Yahoo!


WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon (news - web sites) chiefs reacted.

The president was working his way toward a larger point. "We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking," he said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush's misstatement "just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak."

"But the American people know this president speaks with clarity and conviction, and the terrorists know by his actions he means it," McClellan said.

I practically fell to the floor laughing at that statement. ROFL

Since when has this president EVER spoken with clarity???? ROFL

Thought I'd pass this on. Some of you will get a kick out of it. But beware of adware or spyware downloads.

The march to war hurt the economy. Laura reminded me a while ago that remember what was on the TV screens -- she calls me, 'George W.' -- 'George W.' I call her, 'First Lady.' No, anyway -- she said, we said, march to war on our TV screen.
- George W. Bush, Bay Shore, New York, Mar. 11, 2004



The march to war affected the people's confidence. It's hard to make investment. See, if you're a small business owner or a large business owner and you're thinking about investing, you've got to be optimistic when you invest. Except when you're marching to war, it's not a very optimistic thought, is it? In other words, it's the opposite of optimistic when you're thinking you're going to war.
- George W. Bush, Springfield, Mo., Feb. 9, 2004



More Muslims have died at the hands of killers than — I say more Muslims — a lot of Muslims have died — I don't know the exact count — at Istanbul. Look at these different places around the world where there's been tremendous death and destruction because killers kill.
- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Jan. 29, 2004



I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves.

Security is the essential roadblock to achieving the road map to peace.
- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., July 25, 2003

Imo this is the most honest statement he has ever made, and i thank his subconscious for it.



Without getting into the psychoanalytical argument that has been put out most recently, i am really starting to wonder if W, deep down, doesn't want to be President anymore. I realize those who put him up to it don't want him to quit, and i think he goes along with it, but i think he's missing his partying days, and hatin' the job. He could very well continue making gaffes at the expense of his subconscious, if so, this will be the funniest election in history.


Realize that i come from the point of view that W is the front man for the neo-cons and huge corporate interests, and i have always wondered how much it must suck to be the President of The United States of America and still not be in charge. I believed it before he was elected and before Iraq, and I honestly believe that it has been proven over the past three and a half years.


Cheney's in charge, and he has been from the moment he chose himself to be vice president.

Neo-cons and huge corporate interests, so you are one of those who ignore the facts and believe that the Dems aren't every bit as supportive of huge corporate interests? That's dangerous thinking or rather lack thereof.

The fact is, imo, that there has never been a greater threat to the american way of life than this admin istration.

You can believe what you want, but not one thing has improved during this administration's term, and most areas have gotten dramatically worse.


If the Bush administration gets another term then this country is toast, as are the next two to three generations that follow us.

Based on what? I am no fan of Bush but what difference is it really going to make if Kerry gets in office? He is a rich fat cat that can't help corporate interests fast enough. He is anti-second amendment. He is just as pro-war as Bush. And he wants to create more social programs that will help drive jobs out of the country and create more taxes that will cause the working class standard of living to further degrade. Every time I compare Bush and Kerry the only reason I can see to vote for Kerry is because he isn't Bush. That just isn't a good enough reason.

Based upon overall wage and job losses over the past three years.

Based upon a policy of Pre-Emptive war that ignores all stop signs, destroys international credibility and relations and costs tens of thousands of lives.

Based upon energy policy that so heavily favors industry that they don't dare to release the list of those who contrived it.

Based upon a reliance on faith that defies all available logic-stem cell research as an example.

Based upon the destruction of our civil liberties.

Based upon economic policies that support outsourcing and eliminating overtime for the american worker.......the list goes on and on.






What you are suggesting is that there is no difference between W and the man that the Bush Campaign describes as "the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate..." and that's a conclusion that I am unable to go along with.



There is a huge difference, in fact, the welfare of future generation's depends upon the outcome of this election. If the right steals it again then it's time to start seriously considering moving out of the country, as i don't feel like swirling down the toilet with it.

I am quite familiar with this issue. Your flaw is in the assumption that this administration is to blame for it. I haven't been able to find steady work for over a year but that isn't because of the Bush administration. The policies that have devestated the tech industry were put in place by the Clinton administration. Unfortunately, in regards to this issue there is nowhere to turn as the Democrats and Republicans are both helping to cause job losses equally. Kerry is not the answer.

John Kerry has openly stated he supports these exact actions. There is no quantifiable reason to choose Kerry over Bush in regard to the possibility of future pre-emptive strikes as the same can be expected of BOTH candidates. Which makes this a non-argument.


Based upon energy policy that so heavily favors industry that they don't dare to release the list of those who contrived it.

That may be but it also seems to heavily favor the American people and the American economy both. Seems like a win/win/win situation so why aren't we doing more?


Based upon a reliance on faith that defies all available logic-stem cell research as an example.

First, I see nothing wrong with having a little faith. Second, while I am not sure that the Presidents position on stem cell research was the right thing to do he did not eliminate it in it's entirety. You do realize that it takes the creation of human life and it's destruction, the taking of human life, to obtain stem cells don't you? Also, even with all the years of stem cell research to date there have been NO break throughs, only promise of what might be.


Based upon the destruction of our civil liberties.


I've heard this many, many times but I have yet to find anyone who can tell me of any verifiable examples of this occuring.


Based upon economic policies that support outsourcing and eliminating overtime for the american worker.......the list goes on and on.

Also a non-argument as both Dems and Reps have caused this issue that I know all to well.

They both desire to grow government. They both will execute Pre-emptive strikes against dangerous nations. They both have helped to put the American worker out of work and to degrade the standard of living. There is truely little to differentiate them.


There is a huge difference, in fact, the welfare of future generation's depends upon the outcome of this election. If the right steals it again then it's time to start seriously considering moving out of the country, as i don't feel like swirling down the toilet with it.

Please, that is an old, over-used, and frankly just a total lie that "Bush stole the election." There is just too much evidence to the contrary to give that issue any credibility whatsoever.

Oh, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. :thumb:

Just saw Condi on Meet The press, looks like W has a jobs programfor you after all, in Iran, N. Korea........



Good luck finding a Job if W is re-elected, although I have heard india is a beautiful country.

Enjoy your life there.

The Bush administration supports outsourcing and just eliminated million of americans from receiving overtime, they absolutely oppose the american worker, Kerry has said repeatedly he will eliminate tax breaks for companies who outsource, and i fully expect him to repeal the Bush OT regulations.

You can keep on blaming Clinton for the economy, but it's W's responsibility, however much he shirks it.

Kerry supported giving Bush authority to go to war, that's very different than the claim that he supports the Bush Doctrine of attacking countries without reason or provocation. Show me where he supports the Bush doctrine.

George W Bush is firmly in the way of stem cell research, and any suggestion otherwise is a flat out lie. In fact, he rejects science altogether, and bases all his actions on the direction of a higher power---Dick Cheney---oh yeah, and God too.



The Patriot Act is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the erosion of our civil liberties. W wasn't just joking when he said it would be easier running a dictatorship.



In the end you are back to the argument that there is no difference between W and Kerry, so we should all vote for the man who has "driven this country into a ditch" ( W. Kristol's words, not mine, and he's a NEO_CON.)According to you, W is exactly like the most liberal senator in the U.S Senate, I'm guessing that's why you support him, because he's really just a massachusett's liberal at heart.



One more thing, it's very telling that you still haven't named one area where things have improved the past four years.
