It's hard to believe that this bozo is still giving the same rah-rah speech he's given for the last few years.
Is it possible that Bush is really dead and this is an imposter?
I'm going to check my old newspaper clippings, vidcaps and album covers for clues.

Also, you might try playing some of these speeches backwards. |

S - You're close to the real truth.
What you think is "President Bush" is really a hologram, replaying old "greatest hits" speeches. |

Sebonis,
If you actually listened to the speech, you'd have a different opinion. Pound for pound this was quite a speech, rich in historical fact and detail. Frankly speaking it was a wonderful speech.
You've done a bad job here because you failed to truly pay attention. |

I am convinced that he died in 2003 or early '04 and that the guy who ran for reelection wasn't Bush. It would explain why Rumsfeld and Cheney are still around. The new guy is afraid of them and he's not really the President anyway. It's like that Kevin Kline movie.
Something is definitely fishy in the White House. I think we are witnessing the biggest hoax in the history of this republic. |

S,
It can't be an imposter because it would be impossible to find a Bush lookalike who would be as clueless as he is. |

Dearest Paris,
I will refrain from answering you in detail and say only this:
I not only watched the entire speech - and it was broadcast in its entirety on CNN - but I also grabbed roughly 400 vidcaps from various points to use on my Bush Must Be Dead project.
And it was essentially the same brain dead speech that he's given for a couple of years now.
I missed nothing. Not a word

Yes you did. Maybe if you spent less time playing with your tech toys and spent more time listening you'd have a better idea what was actually said. |

So, if true, Kerry, the man handpicked by the Democrats lost to either an imposter or a hologram. Either way, I love it. |

Kerry was a hologram, too. Unfortunately, it was a Windows 98 model. |

Yeah, 2004 was like a bad rerun of 1988. In both cases, the Republicans picked a clueless, inarticulate loser of a candidate. And in both cases the Dems found an even stiffer and more clueless candidate. You may love it, Southerner, but it ain’t much to be proud of.

What is interesting about Bush is that he is going to India (the first time since he became Prez and Clinton was the first to go to India after 22 years) and is completely caught up with the semantics of characterizing India's nuclear status. The only thing he did was to address the Asia Society a couple of days ago about his impending trip and it barely made the news. Here we are on MOL debating the pros and cons of outsourcing ( on varioues threads) while the debate in India is of a completely different nature...that of India's sovereingn nuclear status. Bush and his admin seem to be more concerened about India's ability to produce nuclear fuel and what it would do with the processed fuel than cheking its illegal proliferation around the world. Therein lies the misplaced vision of this admin, not that India cares about it. India has mastered the front and back end cycles of nuclear energy production and the Americans know about it; as well as they know about Israel's nuclear status.
Even as I write this Nick Burns (the undersecretary) and his ilk are at their wit's end in bringing India around to their way of comprehending "perception as reality." I am not sure how many of you'll are following the build-up to the India trip but it seems like the US has lost the plot and here I am not just talking about the Congress.In the end, the Indians and the Americans may end up signing a nuclear agreement but that may well go against the "principled stand " of the US with regard to its foreign policy and this I say as an Indian who is genuinely concerned about the proliferation of nuclear weapons. I will and have always beeen against India going nuclear but that's a different matter. It's in the signing of this treaty that the nuclear policy of the US will unravel and it will lay bare its hypocrisy, its double standards. The Indian govt, IMHO, will end up signing up the treaty because it simply doesn't want to lose US business and investment but the Indian Left will raise a big hue and cry whichh is actually being felt across the length and breadth of the country. That China is keeping a very quiet profile in all this means that the Americans haven't quite understood the realpolitik of India's relationship to China. It's the political naivete on the part of this admin that never ceases to amaze me. I can't wait to read Friedman's column in the Times.
We can talk about outsourcing to India till the "cows" come home but....

Care to elaborate? I'd be interested in your perspective, mustt. |

cjc-
The US has been trying to play off India against China so that the latter wouldn't assume regional dominance. Also, the Chinese are keeping quiet because the Indian Left does more than adequate job in representing its displeasure at the policies of Bush's agenda. The leftists in both nations are closely allied with each other on this issue and more importantly, the Indian left forms an important part of the coalition that is presently in power in India.
Also, India and China have achieved a significant level of maturity in their bilateral relationship that they do not want to jeopordaize at this juncture even if it means rubbing the US on the wrong side. That they they do not bring up Tibet or Sikkim as bones of contention anymore can be judged as a major breakthrough.
The nuclear deal between the US and India has not been inked completely at this time and officials from both nations are frantically burning the midnight oil to hammer out some kind of resolution which would be agreeable to both parties. Needless to say, the deal itself will trigger a controversy in both countries.
Interesting times ahead...

Despite a few border disputes, India has more in common with China in being a post-colonial nation than it does with the west in being a democracy. Bush administration totally disreguards this, IMO. Probably because our administration is acting the part of a colonizing power. |

mustt -- I saw the US/India warming of relations to be one that plays against China and opens up markets. India has a voracious middle class I've read, where the IT jobs we'd been outsourcing there are now getting to be more expensive as the demand for the relatively-speaking "limited" labor pool able to do such jobs has been jumping around chasing increasing salaries. Singapore and SE Asia starting to get jobs once thought bound for India.
I have no doubt that China doesn't want any waves with India and vice versa. I don't believe India will ever be the thorn in the side to the US that China can be, nor that India will be a big fan of the non-democratic style of China. I can see India as a real US ally moving forward.
I'm not at all up on the left/right divide there though, or how the parties line up though. |

Notey,
I enjoy your posts. I respect your position even though we couldn't disagree more. What I like about your last post (Seal of the Repub Party) is that in most libs minds this is the case, and it keeps them so distracted from meaningful debate. I believe the Dems are much more skilled at corruption but the party out of power has a much lower spotlight. I'll continue to laugh at those type of posts while my boys continue to run the show. The challenge for you is to either make the post come true or beat them at the ballot box. |

Southerner the exact same sentiment is true for the ridiculous crying baby seal of the democratic party.
