ok, so what ~is~ the President's job?
that's what I want those defending his majesty to tell me. Just what the fuck does he do that makes them worhsip him? can they tell me that? he hired unqualified people, he cut FEMA funding, he cut funding for wetlands and levee protection, he did not even realize the "response is unacceptable" until 4 or 5 days after the hurricane!

Just what is his responsibility? Just what is it that he does that qualifies him for his job title? If he so powerless then why is he in the highest office of the US?

14. Didn't you know?
Mayors reign supreme in power over the president! That giving out keys to the city shit is a cover.

Call your local Mayor! Tell them to impeach Bush! :P

3. He doesn't think the Presidency IS a job!
Oh, I know, he says it's "hard work", but he's the laziest damned person ever in the highest office in the land. He believes he was "annointed" or "chosen" by God to be in that position, ergo, he does not have to do anything but what he wants to do. His appointments are merely paybacks for those who have helped him. That's why everyone he appoints is so horrendously incompetent and unfit person for the position they are in. And he does not think anything is wrong with that, because in his world, it's "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."

To *, it's a position of randeur, royalty, etc. It is NOT a job to him.

6. Well, let's see.
He pretends to be a Texan, he pretends to clear brush on his pig farm, he uh......

welp. I'm out of stuff there. Oh he "gets on with his life."

He.....well sometimes they let him ride a bike. And most of the time he falls off.

He hides from grieving mothers with hard questions.

Shit, let's just put a poo-flinging monkey in the White House and be done with it. I bet the monkey could stay on the bike, at least.

8. BTW, this is the same guy who said this at the RNC in 2000:
"And our nation's leaders are responsible to confront problems, not pass them onto others. And to lead this nation to a responsibility era, that president himself must be responsible."

You got me. Maybe he doesn't know he's president?

9. He actually touched like two whole black people today.
Rumors of him attempting to breastfeed a black infant on camera were apparently incorrect--they decided to ditch that idea.
