Change For A Nickel

Here is a post from my friend Kathy. You go Girl!

I NEED TO VENT
ABOUT THAT ASSHOLE THAT AMERICA VOTERS
WERE STUPID ENUF TO RE-ELECT FOR
FOUR MORE YEARS

Monday morning, 9: am he chose to bless us with a “surprise” us with a press conference. That should have given me my first clue it was time to grab the remote and turn to Sesame Street . But I thought, nope let’s stay with this, maybe he is tendering his resignation, come on, don’t laugh, one must remain optimistic. No such luck.
Now my first thought that pops into head is…why hold a press conference at 9:00 a.m. on a week day?
Your main audience is (a) stay-at-home moms who are probably doing laundry, playing in the sandbox with the kids, or cleaning the litter box. (b) senile senior citizens who are at this time of the morning are either counting out their medication for the day or finishing their oatmeal and soaking their dentures.
How do I surmise this? Have you ever watched the advertisements during daytime T.V. Yup that is how I know.

What better time to have a press conference; this is the audience that will hang on your every word…and believe EVERY word that tumbles from your lips.

Just want to confirm a few things that somewhere that senility must finally be setting in for me.

At the point Iraq had a new government in place I thought Bush said he would start bringing the troops home?
Mon…”As long as I am President, we will remain in Iraq . ” ????????
Guess that means the troops won’t be coming home. Grandmas are even joining up and going to Iraq . Maybe it is time I send them my resume. I should qualify. I’m unemployed and I am a Grandma.
Bush went on to state: “Anyone who wants the U.S. out of Iraq and our troops home is a traitor to America .
If we pull out now, the “TERRORISTS” will follow us home.” God, I am so SICK of his rhetoric about the terrorists. Could he please change the record?
One journalist stood up and asked Bush what Iraq had to do with 9/11? Bush, with a dumb look on his face, paused for a moment, took a breath, and said….”NOTHING”!
WHAT??????????? Again, did I turn left and he did a 180??? Somewhere in my cloudy memory, I have a vague recollection, I thought our “fearless leader” went into Iraq because of Iraq ’s possession of “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and the attack of 9/11. Guess I must have misunderstood. I don’t really don’t understand politics anyway. Oh by the way, that is another thing that came out during the press conference, Bush stated Iraq really didn’t have any “Weapons of Mass Destructions”. Oops.

Any way this bullshit went on for an hour, by the time it was over I almost had to add a shot of vodka to my prune juice.
HOW MUCH LONGER ‘TIL WE GET A NEW PRESIDENT?????????
