Hard not to laugh at that gem. However, just like the video I posted, it isn't indicative of relative intelligence. I'm just glad my words aren't all captured for Youtube consumption.
Quote:I'm not a fan of George W. Bush in terms of his performance as President of the United States and his ability. But nothing compares to what's currently occupying the oval office:
Say what you want about Obama, but he is a smart man. Bush literally failed at everything he's ever done.
Quote:Say what you want about Obama, but he is a smart man. Bush literally failed at everything he's ever done.
It's possible that Obama has more natural intelligence than G.W. Bush. Even if that's the case, it doesn't change the fact based on the combination of Obama's preparation level and whatever natural ability he has, he sounds lost without a teleprompter. I detest Hillary as much as Obama but I admit without hesitation that she has a keen awareness of what's going on.
Quote:And you know that because Obama released his college transcripts!
Oh, wait, he refused to do so.
George W. Bush didn't release his either. What candidates have voluntarily released their college transcripts as President, or while running for President?

One thing Scott Walker won't have to worry about

Perhaps you should look up the definition of the word "literal."
Quote:As I've stated, I don't think George Bush is a dumb man. However, this still makes me chuckle. Before anyone takes umbrage, be assured I'd laugh at anything similar from Obama.

This one gives me more than just a chuckle, I actually do LOL whenever I see it.
Quote:Cherish those 15 seconds. They are clearly tantamount to 8 years of gag reel bushisms and bloopers.

I'm not going to say that President Obama is not a smart man. Clearly he is very well educated. However, I do think that he was/is un-qualified to hold the position that he currently holds. I would ask you this.
1. President Bush brought the nation together after the attacks on 9/11 while also dealing with the inevitable burst of the "dot-com bubble". How would President Obama handle something like that?
2. You say that President Bush "literally failed" at everything he has done. I would like to know what your reasoning behind that statement is, and in your description contrast everything that President Obama "literally" has been successful at?

No, no. You are right. As usual.
Quote:No, no. You are right. As usual.
So you are saying that President Obama wouldn't have handled a situation such as what happened on 9/11/2001 any better than President Bush? He wouldn't be able to handle something like the events of the early 2000's?
Are you also saying that you can't back up your claim that President Bush "literally failed" at everything he has done? Are you also saying that you can't name "everything" that President Obama has been successful at?
I was hoping for some spirited debate with you.

I don't have enough respect for you to debate. Man up and rejoin me in the climate change thread and I may change my tune--I've posted plenty of real studies from real websites. (I noticed you quit commenting after having been provided what you were looking for.) Until then, I honestly don't care what cop outs have to say.

You don't have enough respect for me to debate me? WOW. I wonder what brought that on? I thought that liberals typically had "respect" for debate? I guess it's only "respectable" if the debate topic is of their choosing.
You made comments in this particular topic, yet when called out about it you suddenly "don't have enough "respect" for someone that doesn't agree with you to back your comments up. That says a lot about you.
I will say this though. You can kiss the same place that I cleaned after a "movement" this morning if you think that your "respect" for me means anything.
Quote:Complete cop out.

I watched The Wire a couple of months ago. Now I'm watching Game of Thrones. I have just one question.
At what part of his career did O'Malley run a brothel in Kings Landing?
Quote:Says the one that refuses to continue the actual discussion related to this thread.
Mm hmm. The sad fact is the difference between debating you and debating a three-year old is a simply a matter of wrinkles. But you're right as you always are. But do let me know when you grow the balls to read an article on climate change. We can debate all you want then.

So now let's start the personal attacks?
I don't do that, however just for your information, I happen to have a pair of testicles that I was born with and have grown. They have been with me while I've done and seen things that you probably just dream about.
Rather than try to lure me into your oh so important climate change thread, why not actually contribute something that actually is relevant in this thread that deals with the actual topic? Perhaps (just speculation) you aren't "fully developed".
Bush was very successful setting up a police state. I don't know how you could qualify it as a failure during his term the idea of privacy became a historical abstract thought meant for the dark ages.
