If You Were Washington, Jefferson Or Lincoln How Would You Feel About GWB?
Pick one of the three mentioned above, put yourself in their shoes and give me an assessment of our beloved president.

Somehow I doubt they would like what they see...

If I was Lincoln, I would haunt him everywhere he went until his sanity so visibly slipped people finally got a clue.

17. If They Tried To Put Any Other Face On Mt. Rushmore....
...the other faces would probably fall apart. It's become very fragile over the years and would probably fall apart - just like what happened to the Old man In The Mountain in New Hampshire a year or so ago.

5. Any one of the three would feel
nauseated and disgusted by not only GWB but the overall direction this country is headed. I wish just one of them was alive now to insert some levelheadedness, honor and dignity into our government's actions.

9. what my anscestors probably would have thought
since they moved here in 1722

First; i dont think that King George's politics would have gotten him near the Continential Congress or the White House and (second) if for some reason he did get in, I'd give him no longer than a month before they dragged him outside and strung him to a tree.

11. There were plenty of crooks in the Continental Congress
lots of incompetents, too. Coming from a rich and influential family, George W. Bush almost certainly would have had a seat there. It wasn't all (or even mostly) Jeffersons and Adamses, unfortunately.

12. Washington would tell Bush to respect the Constitution, Jefferson would
tell Bush to stop pushing for a more massive and intrusive federal government, and Lincoln would tell Bush to go see a play.

13. Ashamed, considering how brilliant they were.
And now the village idiot squats in the WH.

Seriously, each man had different qualifications that they brought with them, that helped them become a great president, whereas * has none whatsoever. I also believe they would not understand how the people of this country could let this moron in the WH. Of course they would have never dreamed that there would be a Faux News that distorts the truth the way they do.

22. Jefferson would re-write the Declaration of Independence, and then
commence to further incite a revolution to overthrow that fascist-monarchist squatter in the WH.

25. Admitedly It Is Brief. More Of A Rallying Cry!
Not much of a "Law Of The Land" kind of document. Save that level of detail for the post-revolution constitution rewrite.

26. Jefferson in particular would find Bush despicable
Supposedly Jefferson read 12 hours a day every day from the age of 12 until he died.

Bush is "Not a reader."

27. I suspect Lincoln would have a lot
of advice for Bush.

Here's a bit.

"Food is the key George. Food and transportation. You need a general who can burn down everything in the Euphrates Valley. You need their breadbasket to be so destroyed that a crow would have to pack a lunch to fly over it."

"You've got to break the will of the women and children at home George. That will destroy the morale of the armies at the front. You need a General Sherman who will make the Sunni heartland howl. Burn the towns and the factories, rip up the roads, destroy the cars and kill all the livestock. Show these people that resistance means destruction. March through their lands and destroy everything in your 40 mile wide path."

"Guantanamo is a great idea George, but don't you realize you're dealing with people who live in warmer climates? Come on George. Put those prison camps around the Great Lakes. You can get a good prison and freeze the suckers to death at the same time. And what's with the orange suits George. The people fought in rags. Let them keep their rags through the winter on an island in the Mississippi."

"George - do you know there is a congressman from around Cleveland who is going around bad mouthing the war effort? Come on George - don't you know what I did to that Congressman from Cleveland Vallandingham? He's a traitor George. Throw him out of the country like I did."

"George - there's some group on one of those internets you were talking about. They're bad mouthing you every day. Even openly call themselves Democrats. Shut those suckers down. You don't have to put up with that in wartime. And don't hesitate to use jail George. Arrest newspaper editors. You can even throw legislators in prison if you want to. Just make sure you arrest them before they get to vote against you."

"Anyway George - don't be such a softy."

Your friend Abe.
