Bush At His Shrink: The Lame-Duck Session
2008-06-03 16:25:00 by Bernard Weiner "I'm with my closest colleagues at the top of Mt. Everest. Below us on the snow, or maybe it's white sand, are thousands of bloody bodies. Suddenly, I see a line of approaching figures, armed with pitchforks and clubs, coming up the mountain. At first, I'm happy because they're carrying an American flag, but then I realize they're coming after me, led by a Toy Soldier wearing black. I turn around to figure out a counter-attack strategy with my key aides, but I'm all alone. I hear myself shout: 'A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!' And then I wake up, sitting bolt-upright in bed, trembling and covered in sweat." "And that's the dream that brought you back here, Mr. President?" "Well, that one and at my wife's and physician's insistence. They seem to feel I'm in bad shape and could use your help." "And you? What do you feel?" "Those times we talked before?** You made me really angry. You forced me to face...
Scott McClellan WAYLAYS Lame-Duck President “Surge” W. Bush In
2008-05-28 13:05:00 Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan Admits To Aiding And Abetting President Bush In Deceiving The American People Into “Rubber-Stamping” Invasion Of Iraq… We’re all going to be “o-pining” on Scotty McClellan’s new book over the next few weeks instead of incarcerating him and his former boss on charges of intentionally conspiring to defraud the American Public into agreeing to allow our military forces to INVADE a sovereign nation based upon what “Scotty-boy” himself NOW admits was nothing more than Bush Administration “propaganda”. The man and his former boss, at the VERY least, should be under scrutinous federal investigation and most probably, wearing black-and-white jumpsuits in a federal penetentiary while awaiting trial, should these allegations prove to be TRUE. For example — let’s say a buddy of mine robbed a bank and I knew about it all along. The media, knowing I’m a close ...

Lamest of Lame Duck

The lame duck Prime Minister on AFP
2008-03-16 10:00:00 Poor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi?The longer he clings to his fragile post as Malaysian Prime Minister, the more irretrievably damage he creates for his own self. Can?t he see that he is no longer the same Abdullah Ahmad Badawi that people used to see?My gut feeling tells me that something big will happen in the near future. It will probably be remembered as the most shocking moment in our local political scene and Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will be at the center of the stage.My concerns and worries are with the nation. What would happen if that moment comes by?Chaos? Havoc? Economic disaster? Martial law?May Allah swt Help us all!Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

"Lame Duck" citizens and the global economy
2008-01-24 14:58:00 by Pablo Ouziel In regards to our ‘global economy’, one is better off reading Dostoevsky’s The Gambler and saying to himself, “at the present moment I must repair to the roulette-table,” than listening to George Bush deluding himself about the fact that “while there is some uncertainty, the financial markets are strong and solid.” The truth is, our global markets have become a “lame duck” and all we can do is wait for the next disaster to shake the corrupt foundation on which things have been run. As Hugues Rialan, managing director in charge of discretionary asset management at Robeco France puts it, "if they [financial institutions] had a much more transparent communication, we would not have all the bombshells, or rumors of bombshells, that we're having today, with all the negative implications for the market." The fact remains that people are reluctant to utter the word depression, and therefore all we are left with are the words of all those experts w...
Lame Duck President Coming to Jerusalem
2008-01-06 22:31:00 Well, tell me, is US President George Walker Bush expecting to accomplish anything with his impending visit to Israel? A case of way too little way too late. Bush has already secured his place in the history books, with Iraq undoubtedly capturing the banner headline. That he is not the brightest person to ever occupy the Oval Office is no secret but how lame can one be? He was handed the victory

President Bush: Not Such A Lame Duck After All. . .
2007-09-11 23:21:00 Typically, Presidents in their last 2 years focus on issues that are generally popular and ones they feel they can get past a hostile Congress. President Clinton focused on seat belt laws and the Head Start program. Reagan focused on preserving his early accomplishments and solidifying his foreign policy goals (most of the goals had been achieved). Nevertheless, in the face of losing congress last year, George Bush has not veered from the most important objective of his presidency.Months later the Iraq Study Group led by Saudiphile and antisemite James Baker stated:"The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating. ... A slide toward chaos could trigger the collapse of Iraq's government and a humanitarian disaster. ... The situation in Baghdad and several provinces is dire. ... Pessimism is pervasive. ... Violence is increasing in scope, complexity and lethality." Bush treated the Iraq Study Group's findings as they should have been - worthless. All the while facing a Democrat maj...
Rove Has Left Lame Duck To Fend For Self
2007-08-14 12:21:00 With a possible recession in the air. The resignation of Karl Rove leaves Bush standing alone to fight off the Democrats, the surge and sub-primes falling and going south on Mortgage companies.Rove has left this unpopular President facing an unpopular war in Iraq that's awaiting its progress come September. So fairwell Karl and good riddance.
Lame Duck Legacy?
2007-08-07 06:58:00 Sadly enough the mad dash for a ‘Legacy’ seems to have infected the last several administrations. Carter, Clinton and now Bush have all decided to pin their hopes on a Legacy via some mystical mid east peace accords between Israel and the surrounding countries. Well it didn’t happen with Carter and Clinton and it’s not likely to happen with Bush either. To me the sad thing about this is that Condi Rice is suffering collateral damage from the Bush administration failures. She was an absolutely brilliant national security specialist for years and her being appointed as Secretary of State could have been the crowning achievement of a lifetimes work. But I think what will be in the minds of those around her is ‘too bad it was for the Bush administration’. I think she could have done so much more if things had been different. ~RJH Washington Post article link  The Rush for a LegacyPromoting Democracy Overseas Is No Longer a Priority As State Pursues Elusive Prizes in Middle East a...
A Lame Duck Gaines Adams and the Bucs are finished?
2007-07-24 01:26:00 Peter King of SI.com recently picked Bucs DE Gaines Adams as the 3rd Highest Rookie Under Pressure this upcoming season behind the Bills Marshawn Lynch and the Rams Adam Carriker. King even goes so far as to say the Bucs will basically be "Dead in the Water" should Gaines Adams turn in a season similar to Cadillac's Sophmore season. To that I say ... BAH! ... A Rookie is not going to make or break this season (especially when Rice is in a contract year and Kevin Carter is in the line-up). I agree with King and the rest of Bucs Nation in that the Bucs should NOT have Drafted Gaines 4th if they didnt plan on playing him. I mean, enough with the Gaines battling Simeon Rice to start on the Right Side of the line. For the ump-teenth time, start him on the LEFT SIDE of the line. Whats it gonna take? It's like the Shotgun formation stubborness .... how many non-sacks/batted balls will it take to make the right decisions?

Could the House vote on shamnesty spell lame duck status for Dubya?
2007-07-01 21:59:00 US News and World Report says that, as the vote against shamnesty in the Senate has shown, Bush's influence in Congress has been greatly diminished. So, he's closer now to lame duck status than before.

Definitely a lame duck: George W. Bush
2007-06-28 22:52:00 President George W. Bush, following the defeat of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, is undoubtedly a lame duck and has no political capital or clout left.INFLUENTIAL? I THINK NOT.Proving that our President is a lame duck, the Senate today blocked the Immigration bill for a second time, which tells me that George Bush has lost all the political capital, political clout, and influence he had left. Barely changing any minds, the President must now realize that the GOP is abandoning his leadership because of his tremendous unpopularity and his astounding incompetence. Throughout history it has been said that the President's real power was the influence he dutifully carried, but now that seems not to be the case.WHY HAS HE LOST HIS INFLUENCE?President Bush has totally lost his influence because of his unwillingness to listen and his poor job performance. Finally, the American people have come to their senses and realized that we can make America better if we ask our leaders to ...

2007-05-30 03:40:00 America has gotten accustomed to members of the George W.

2007 Saturn Vue Green Line Review: Lame Duck Greenie
2007-02-05 08:42:01 By: Rex RoyThe Auto Channel Remember when Saturn offered buyers a different kind car because it was a different kind of car company? While a brilliant advertising campaign, it used to be true. Saturns had their own chassis, polymer body panels, engines, manufacturing plants, dealerships ? the works. If you haven't been paying attention (and millions haven't) Saturn is now just another division of General Motors. This may not be a bad thing. The old L-Series were forgettable, Ions were lamentable, and their Relay minivans don't even warrant a pejorative adjective. Saturn's soon-to-be current line up looks much better. The Aura sedan is terrific. The Sky is an o-so-fine roadster. And the new Outlook crossover is available just as people are awakening to the stupidity of using big SUVs for minivan tasks. The recently announced 2008 Astra completes the picture, adding a dash of European flair to the division that GM neglected like an ugly stepchild for so many years. An OverVueB...
Lame Duck Presidency
2006-12-16 16:11:01 AFTER JOHN BOLTON stepped down as US ambassador to the United Nations, I thought Bush’s lame duck presidency was upon us. If your appointees know that they aren’t going to get confirmed, that’s a pretty big sign that you don’t have much power. Or, maybe Bolton wasn’t liked by either party, but I think likely it’s that Democrats are now in control, and they surely won’t confirm him. Usually the last two years of a second term are lame duck years, but I think Bush may have brought it upon himself more than previous presidents. Even Republicans during midterm elections wanted to distance themselves from the president. I think the president is trying to prove that he is in power by making his point to America, the world, and the authors of the Iraq Group Report, that he has to approve anything and everything before it can be put into action. For the sake of the presidency, I think it’s good that Bush is doing this, but I think he should gi...

STOP the lame duck Cheney-Specter bill
2006-12-01 04:42:05 Are you shocked? You should be: President Bush recently announced his plan to use the "lame duck" session of Congress to push through a bill authorizing the government to read our emails and tap our phone calls without our consent. This un-American "Big Brother" bill could come to pass in just two months! Speak up now - before our right to free speech is stripped away. Stop the government from |
