Today in Florida, Bush CRITICIZED "playing to fear" in favor of "hope"

"Bush urges Latin America to build on democracy"

In a 15-minute speech, Bush lauded political change that has made democracy "now the rule rather than the exception" in the Western hemisphere but he said countries faced a choice between two visions.

"One offers a vision of hope. It is founded on representative government, integration into the world markets, and a faith in the transformative power of freedom in individual lives," he said.

"The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures to provide for their people," he added.



"President Bush urged Latin American countries on June 6, 2005 to build on democratic gains of recent decades but some countries were wary of U.S. proposals to monitor democracy in the region. 'The dramatic gains for democracy we have witnessed in our hemisphere must not be taken for granted,' Bush told a gathering of the Organization of American States, the Western Hemisphere's top diplomatic body.

ironacy alert...

:rofl:

That pretty much covers his whole foreign and domestic policy.

"Have I mentioned how much I hate these bastards?".

speaking, and then swish his chin from side to side, and then just sort of lick his lips repeatedly, and repeatedly, while pausing during his talks? That thrusting of his chin outwardly -- it is almost like his chin has to jettison out before he can continue talk, and then he has to readjust it again, moving it from side to side, while also licking his lips repeatedly before he can continue talking.

It's either an indication that he's really, really thirsty (if you know what I mean, and I think you do), or his tongue is trying to flee his mouth before it has to give voice to another stupid thought.

Roger Abbott, the Canadian impressionist who plays Bush on the CBC, noticed this too -- he's incorporated it into his performance. (I don't think the people at MAD TV or SNL have picked up on it yet.)

Both your explanations seem plausible to me, gratuitous. If the frequency increases when he's under stress, maybe it's a form of "displacement activity" he's adopted because he isn't allowed to drink ... you know.

As for Bush's tongue trying to flee his mouth ... I don't even want to think about what it probably suffered during his "reckless youth". And I'm not talking about his frat's goldfish-swallowing contests, either.

I have seen that many times when watching clips of Bush. Something very STRANGE is going on with his chin and his face.

Which, if any, corporo-media wit will finally have the courage to point this out, and report that the Chimperor has no clothes. It's an Open Secret. There for everyone to see.

Some enterprising video whiz could put together a series of clips showing this. That would be a corker.

He just damn well disassembles all over the place, don't he.

Damn that's two in two weeks.

he is insincere. he is completely phony, he is an arrogant asshole, and he lies his ass off

Crooked is Straight, Fear is Hope, War is Peace..George Orwell wrote all about it in "1984" written in 1949.

Never, have I disliked someone so much! He's a disgrace to America, a disgrace to the Office, a disgrace as a human being!

He simply DISGUSTS me more than I can ever say. He's so transparent and a NINCOMPOOP to boot!

with the objection to the release of torture photos on the grounds it violated the Geneva convention. If that didn't do it, this surely would have...oh, and the claim it was protecting OBL's right to privacy.

These fuckers are EVIL.

They take our points about him and use them for "his" own.

Bush has run on fear. Now he steals the point and acts like he owns it and uses it as a talking point.
