Irony not dead, but contemplating suicide (idiot son's younger brother, Jeb, comes out of hiding)

Irony not dead, but contemplating suicide

by David Waldman

It must be great to be able to run your brain through the dishwasher each night:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) tells Esquire that President Obama didn't tell voters what he was going to do during the presidential campaign.

Said Bush: "Barack Obama would not have gotten elected if he'd let us in on his secret plan prior to the election. He would not have gotten elected if he'd said, 'My idea is to create a $1.8 trillion deficit for the next fiscal year. My idea is to spend $750 billion over the next ten years on a government-sponsored, government-subsidized health-care policy. My idea is to create a massive cap-and-trade system that CO2 is (a) pollutant and we need to tax it in a massive way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.' Those ideas, which are now embedded in his budget, and the ideas in the stimulus package, weren't central in his campaign."

Clearly!

Obama should have told America he had a secret plan to invade the wrong country, bog us down there for at least six more years, kill 4,500 American troops in the process, cost us trillions in a war his people would at first claim would "pay for itself," institute an illegal system of nationwide domestic surveillance, and lead an American surge into ghoulish medievalism with a program of torture that ultimately would be used to try to extract "confessions" to that would justify it all, falsely, after the fact.

That, surely, would have satisfied these scions of the compound-dwelling douchebag plutocrat set.

1. I would guess the crash was planned to happen inside of President Obama's terms
Someone blew the timing and got it pushed back into George Bush's term where it belongs, since it came from policies before President Obama was in office.

2. And Esquire mag lets him get away
with that? President Obama wouldn't have gotten elected if his bonehead brother and dickhead cheney hadn't ignored the country for 8 years and bombed Iraq in a misbegotten war.

Thanks a$$holes for being so derelict in your duties that we got the President we wanted.

3. Yeah, Jeb, if your brother had mentioned his intent to turn $5.6 trillion surplus....

.... into a $5 trillion deficit or to destroy Social Security by privatizing it, it would have been more difficult to steal the 2004 election from John Kerry in Ohio. You remember, like you helped engineer in Florida in 2000?



Go away.




The entire petulant interview here.
