THINK PROGRESS
Friday, October 10, 2008

Today, President Bush gave an eight-minute speech on the economy, which was meant to reassure the markets. “This is an anxious time,” said Bush. “But the American people can be confident in our economic future.” However, ABC News notes that during those eight minutes, the Dow Jones dropped another 107 points. The Dow was down 78.70 at the beginning of Bush’s address, but at 185.66 by the end.

   The American people can be confident in our (Bush and his corporate elite cronies) future. As for the rest of you, tough titties. You’ve just been screwed!!

   I always quickly change channels when that swaggering chimpanzee is on the television. But I must say that he’s extremely efficient and skill full in destroying thinks. Like an inverse king Midas he taints everything he touches, though not into gold.

   The world choose to follow this jester to the very edge of the abyss. Now that they can see more clearly what George Bush and his criminal friends stand for, maybe they will decide more wisely.

   “They want a fascist planet with the superwealthy ruling it all
   Since we’re too independent, America must be led to fall
   When our credit’s been exhausted to subdue the Middle East,
   They’ll install our debtor nation in the body of The Beast
   Traitor…Dare call it treason”

   Maybe Bush could have sang the “Confidence Song” from the Sound of Music.
