[color=#0000BF]Introducing ‘Pocket Obama’: Must-have Anthology of Obama Quotes[/color]

[quote]Just in case you can’t get through a day without some refreshing and uplifting words from the new president, the History Company has created the [color=#FF0000]“Pocket Obama.”[/color]

This is [color=#FF0000]a tiny, pocket-sized book filled with “quotations borrowed from Barack Obama’s speeches and writings.”[/color]

According to its creators, “It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times.”[/quote]

How many 0bamaistas on Forumosa will be carrying one of these to flash for fellow comrades?

Ai-yo - a real Obamaista would have his quotations memorized, comrade. Off to re-education camp for you! :laughing:

You can get entire books filled with Bushisms.

Irrational hatred

How apt.

How cute. Isolate, ridicule and minimize. Thats close enough to Alinskys rules for the internet.
However here’s a better one:
Not backing down to wimpy attempts at intimidation.
Its a USA thing. Freedom an all that.
You Brits never quite got the hang of it.

“Got the hang of it”…that a USA slang expression… :cactus:

TC, you bother us with your constant harping on The One. I believe your discontent stems from your faith and dedication to Rush Limbaugh and the various lies and hatred he spreads. I suggest you get with the program of making the US more like the rest of the world and not a “City on the Hill” that it has been described by in the past. As soon as all Americans have govt provided health care we can go about getting you properly psychologically tested and helped. We’ll have to find a proper symbol akin to an inverted pink triangle place on your left breast so that all may know your disability and take appropriate measures.

Why would we need a book when all of The One’s utterances are on youtube the unofficial channel for his speeches and appeals to the public akin to FDR’s radio fireside chats during the Great Depression. The book is obviously some capitalists ploy to cash in on The One’s popularity when all know that a true book by The One would be read aloud in a youtube clip for our post literate world.

Are you playing the victim card again?

In all seriousness it was of course not an attempt at intimidation. I am just curious why the left’s hatred of Bush is unfathomable and irrational, but the right’s hatred of Obama is not.

I think for some people on the right his race and background is an issue, which is why they seek to deny his very “Americanness”. I notice many of your attacks on him reflect this.

Didn’t we invent that one? It is our language after all…

After all the years of ceaseless whining about how criticism of George Bush was personal animosity devoid of any substance you’d think there would at least be a token effort to avoid turning into a blatant parody of that complaint once the tables were turned.

How much are they?
Is someone raking it in? Are they hiring?
And what is this mysterious entity, The History Company?
Do they have a catalogue?
:marge:

That sentence alone reassures me that the capitalist spirit isn’t dead in America. No matter what happens, make a book or a movie about it to get rich! :wink:

You’re right, that is objectionable. And creepy.

“It’s clearly a budget. It’s got a lot of numbers in it.”
– George Bush

I can’t imagine why anybody would listen to anything George Bush has to say since his leadership has plunged the U.S. into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

George W. Bush, pathetic excuses cannot bring about freedom.

Bush would have made a good religious leader. He didn’t make a good leader of the US.

However, it is enough to let Bin Laden escape, to divert your attention to a country without WMDs.

These demands weren’t met by the regime, therefore this was a vapid statement.

War Hawk Bush says fighting wars ends war. Truth is, fighting wars means you fight wars.

WMDs.

America’s former president thought he could just learn how to lead a country. Not an apt metaphor.

People gave up expecting from George W.

The word terrorist had so many meanings for Bush, it could be spun many ways.

Doesn’t take a brave man to utter useless words.

Do you seriously believe George W. Bush was a good president?

Only a handful of nations actually signed up on Bush’s military spending spree, yet the countries that were neutral were not actually with the terrorists. Empty rhetoric.

George W., you’re tyrant no longer.

“I appreciate the number of foreign dignitaries who are here. It just goes to show that faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.”
Why weren’t any Iranians invited, nor Cubans, nor North Koreans? This quote sounds better than the truth.

A kangaroo court can set the world free! Flipflop on the legal papers (See second quote above).

Nobody believes the credibility of the administration of George W. on the other hand.

On the other hand, the US still invests heavily in developing WMDs such as nuclear weapons. Who here doubts that the US is a free nation?

Seven years after 911, people figured out that for all the inspirational words, G. W. didn’t know what he was doing.

The best for military contractors led by the vice-president.

Or are they? This is debatable.

True inspirational words from a president who didn’t say the word “gay” in eight years of office.

Free means the wars cost a lot of money.

A desire for freedom punctuated by a dismissal of the Republicans.

Tragedy and a drift toward tragedy did happen on George W. Bush’s watch, however. These speech makers should be more careful.

They will hear, and Bin Laden will still be a free man eight years later.

Bush’s grammar is atrocious. How did he get through university?

He flip-flopped once the WMDs weren’t there.

If patience is the freedom to continue along the path of wrong governance, even a public support continued to wane, then George W. Bush was full of patience.

Everyone knows where you stood, Mr. Flipflop Bush. You stood in the way of progress.

True inspiration. Unfortunately the hanging never took place.

Except of course that in fact George W. didn’t defend anything… he allowed the US military to invade other countries, on the other hand.

I could recommend not posting idiotic quotation from a presidential has-been, but I’d be kind of hypocritical because I just reposted some idiotic.

How predictable coming from TC. sounding more and more like a bot.

Here’s some more Bushisms:
