Pickles on her husband: "He is doing great. He has big, broad shoulders"
October 11th, 2005 1:41 pm
First lady praises Bush's strength in dealing with disaster, war

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US First Lady Laura Bush praised President George W. Bush's strength in dealing with the war in Iraq and disasters like the September 11, 2001 terror attacks and hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"He is doing great. He has big, broad shoulders," she told NBC television's "Today" show of her husband, adding: "There is a lot on the American people, too, and their response has been so terrific."

She also praised the fact that people in storm-ravaged Louisiana "are rebuilding their lives and other people want to help them."

The president likewise lauded the spirit of cooperation he and his wife witnessed on their visit to Louisiana, where they were helping with a Habitat for Humanity home-building project. "I am the kind of guy who gets inspired by the decency of others. As I travel the country and see this incredible spirit, it's so uplifting. It makes me understand how blessed we are to be in America," he said.

3. This country has gone to hell under his "big broad shoulders"
were in a unnecessary war, we have a huge deficit where he inherited a surplus from Clinton, the poverty rate is rising, FEMA was detoothed, there are signs we could be in for a SECOND Bush recession, and American prestige in the world is at an all-time low.

6. Okay, I don't like her politics
or her insistance on staying with Dubya all these years....


but


You have to admit that, as a person, Laura has grown over the past five years. She isn't nearly as Stepfordish as she once was and she's learned to say her lines in public quite well. In the sense that I can appreciate anybody who learns to become more of their own person, I can appreciate Laura.

8. I respect your opinion...
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 05:05 PM by Bush_Eats_Beef
...and respectfully disagree with 100% of everything you just said.

Seriously, I'm not trying to be a smartass here. Take everything you just said, reverse it completely, and that's how I feel. And I say it with all due respect for your right to have your own opinion.

I still remember her "Oh, PLEASE" comments when asked to compare Evil Dick Cheney and John Edwards during the campaign.

I don't care for this woman. I don't know her "as a person" and probably never will, but the Laura Bush who keeps showing up on my TV screen and on the Web with comments like these? No thanks.

:toast:

11. Thanks for your respectful reply
I'll have to admit that I have always thought of Laura Bush as more of a victim than a perpetrator and that, I think, colors my opinion.

Your reply by the way proves we can disagree without being disagreeable. :hi:

29. She's learned to say her lines, yet she's her own person?
Laura deserves zero respect for whoring for that murderer.

43. I also disagree
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 09:04 PM by joeprogressive
I think she has become much worse. I actually liked her in 2000 but she has become a blind apologist. I told my wife that if she became a Republican, I would still love her but I would never support her, even if she was president. I put Maria Shriver in the same boat as Laura; stepford bimbos

7. what broad shoulders? Cheney's? Rove's? Wait, looking at their
photos, none of them has any broad shoulder, or broad understanding of reality for that matter.

Won't bother asking how the 100,000+ dead Iraqis are doing; ya don't give a fuck about dead Americans, you certainly don't give a fuck about dead Afghanis...I can assume ya don't give a fuck about dead Iraqis.

28. Ugottabeffinkiddinme
This guy is a train wreck. You can almost watch him age on a daily basis. I'm 50 and this guy looks older than my Dad. He's 75.

I would still like to see an independent drug test done on these assholes. I think they are all high, all the time. He looks alternately wired, full of tics, twitches and grimaces, and then depressive. She has a glassy-eyed sheen to her face, and looks like she's two seconds away from screaming insanely.

37. reminds me of Nixon's "Checkers" speech
One other thing I probably should tell you because if we don't they'll probably be saying this about me too, we did get something-a gift-after the election. A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was.

It was a little cocker spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl-Tricia, the 6-year old-named it Checkers. And you know, the kids, like all kids, love the dog and I just want to say this right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep it.
