Obamateurism of the Day

This list of WIGWBDT was sent to me yesterday – my response to the what ifs is they would have already started impeachment proceedings:

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 really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC,

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, would you have approved?

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 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 the 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

keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the

Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when

he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word “advice” would you have hammered him for it for years

like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,

would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed 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 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 created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the

House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved.

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, which had taken more than two centuries

to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, 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 5 months — so you’ll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
