If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special
Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom , a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when
Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant
gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing
videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly
narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to a
non-existent 'Austrian language,' would you have brushed it off as a
minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with
people who cannot seem to remember to pay their own income taxes, would
you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illite rate as to refer to "Cinco
de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of
May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again,
would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have
hammered him for it for years like when Dan Quayle was when he spelled
potatoe as "proof" of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of tax-payer funded jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's
a hypocrite regarding environmental issues?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed tax-payer funded Air
Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered
whether they actually "get" what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and
is actually being controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in
New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political
issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major
corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt in one year,
which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, would you have
approved?

If George W.. Bush had then proposed to double the debt yet again
within the following 10 years, thereby putting your children and
grandchildren in such massive debt that it threatens the national
treasury, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM
stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, with no
constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of tax-payer dollars
to take Laura Bush on a 'date night' to a play in NYC, would you have
approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant
and impressive? Can't think of anything?
Don't worry. He's done all this in a mere 5 months -- So, you'll have
three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
Naive, incompetent, and uninformed American voters did this to
themselves.
Real Americans are starting to wake up. Let's hope it's not too late.
