    Hes not in front of the world, actually, Ok, They were spying on him, thats all that is.
    I mean, Hes human.. big deal, the word SHIT..

    Amazing how the media like to run there cocksuckers every chance they get.
    Fucking left wingers.
    first off i could care less if our president uses the word shit, shit... i use shit on a regular.
    but upon seeing this i was left wondering exactly... what is the irony?
    oh, and to all that has responded... who is this liberal you guys keep talking about? i know its not me... i have no stance in politics, i take no sides. But i simply think our president is one of the many unsensible people in this country. and that is all... i have mine own opinions, just like everyone else.

    BTW i dont know how many felt hurt by the title of the thread but it was simply a copy and paste from CNN... so dont question me about the title, talk to Cable News Network.

    First of all, that whole statement was a ginormous oxymoron. You can't, on the one hand, consider the president an "unsensible" person, and on the other, claim you have no stance on politics.

    Secondly, if you truly don't want to have a stance on politics, pack your shit and move to another country. You should be grateful to be part of a country where the citizens are given the right to take part in the molding of government. While it's unfortunate that the vast majority of our population has been raised to be ignorant cattle, mooing towards any agenda that promises to give them something for nothing, we still have an obligation to stand up and make our voices heard. Probably now more than ever, when our country is spiraling towards the gutter, we should fight for our political beliefs.

    While I somewhat agree with you I do have to say that having an opinion about a PERSON has nothing to do with said person's political point of view...I vote, I have an opinion, I vote according to my beliefs, and even though most of my beliefs are extremely conservative....I still think Bush is a fucking idiot...

    Well put, I admire your diction. But... I can truly care less about where George W. stands as a politician, but what he IS has nothing to do with my thinking he lacks education. If he could express his self in a clear and less comical way, (I think it's just funny) some what like yourself, then I would swiftly retract my statement about your President. As for my packing of shit and moving to another country, I've thought about it but America is not a bad place and is indeed a great country to live in, but please don't sit here and argue with me on not having baised beliefs. Maybe I didn't phrase myself correctly earlier but I think I meant to say I don't have a specific party or set beliefs that I am headstrong about in the world of politics. But I do know have an ideal state that I would like the country to be in, and I do like my voice to be heard (seeing as I have that option). But... is it really? Is the obligatory right to "stand up and make our voices heard" being heeded? I don't know. I would just like you to answer that last question with a yes or no so that I won't have to retort. If you say yes, then great I can sleep sound knowing that I am heard. If you say no, then... Oh well, I am losing the drive to question why I am not being heard...

    Well, to be honest, you should be glad Val nor Ruiner have not taken the time to correct your post as it is riddled with bad punctuation and bad spelling. Yet YOU classify someone with a Bachelor's degree from YALE, an MBA from HARVARD, former CEO of an oil company, former big wig of a Major League Baseball franchise, 2 term GOVERNOR of the largest state in the continental U.S., and now 2 term PRESIDENT of the best damn country in the world as "lacking education"????????

    oooo ahhhh! degrees. boy i tell ya. degrees sure has everything to do with everything. come on man! listen to tha man! he is a moron! dont sit here and give me this mans resume and expect me to take back my statement. Sure he is "educated" on paper. but soo much shit, no pun intended, flows out of his mouth that its hard to believe that he is the educated and righteous man that you and he want me to believe.
    This is America you know? but what you probably didnt know is that more times than less its who you know and not what you know that gets you ahead. And... uhh... he knows a former president of these great United States. It sounds so cliche but if you sit back and think about it, it's true.

    The guy may not be the most eloquent speaker we've ever seen, but he is far from "uneducated".

    You are correct about the the ole "not what you know, but who you know" addage. I understand that.

    To be honest, it's hard to agree with you if you don't use any tangible examples. So he said the word "shit" during a private moment that should never have been aired. So what?

    Personally, I don't agree with quite a few things President Bush has chosen to do. But all in all, what's more important to me is that he's stuck to his guns and done the things he SAID he was going to do for the most part. So I'm not going to chastise him for saying "shit" or for not being eloquent as long as he's getting the job done.

    Would you rather have a good speaker that is full of shit and likes to be politically correct instead??? Wait.....we did have that....his name was Bill Clinton.....

    that is fine you need not agree with me... i havent any tangible examples to prove anything. this banter was not meant to be taken to where it went. simply put i think the man is a fool and thats it. i am entitled to think that. and i dont want anyone to question why in an all mighty paragraph trying ever so hard to make me feel like an idiot.

    So what indeed. he is human and i think hes a pretty damn funny one. because he means so well but he cant express himself in a coherent manner. i guess in a sense i pity the fool. My objective was not to bring to surface his usage of the word, but like in one of my earlier posts, i wanted to know what was this irony that he spoke of before he proceeded to swear. It just didnt fit.

    I titled the thread "The Shit heard around the World" because that is what CNN made such a big deal and since it was on CNN i figured others would have heard about this incident. i had no idea that other IA members didnt already know about it.
