Excuses and admissions

You stated you never baited or threw barbs. You didn't qualify the statement. And because someone does it first, does that make it right for you to respond in kind? When my kids were little I used to say that because somebody else does something doesn't make it right.....

The difference between you and I is that I admit I get cranky on this board, I admit I cut and paste from liberal publications at times, I admit I have baited other posters and have problem been demeaning. Not proud of it, but it happens and I acknowledge it. It's out there and can't be taken back, so I might as well fess up. I'm a human and I get irritable.

And yes, we've been through all this - I used to post as Teddy and before that I posted as Observer before you arrived, probably about 2 years ago or more. There's no particular mystery to be solved in any of this.

Excuses, excuses - just what I figured.
Funny how it's only congress that prevents the democrats from keeping their promises but when we have a republican president it's always blamed directly on the president.

These issues I mentioned in my original post had nothing to do with congress. These were the O's decisions. He could have voted to repeal the Patriot Act and kept his campaign promise, but he didn't. He could have read through the spending bill before he signed it and gotten rid of the earmarks and kept his campaign promise. But no, these were his decisions.

But since we now have a democratic congress who are you going to blame for that?

Wow! Talk about double standards

Tests can be thrown, college admissions bought and sold
Since when can IQ be extrapolated from SAT test scores? I'd appreciate a source citation so I can read up on that, unless you are going on those lame IQ test websites that have assigned W, O and Michelle's IQ all at 125. Fact is, brilliant people have been known to score low on SAT for a variety of reasons so that argument is not terribly convincing.

I'm going strictly on such measures as butchery of his native tongue, i.e., inability to form more than monosyllabic 6-word sentences without a teleprompt or cue cards, how challenged he is to complete a whole thought and his dependence on behind-the-scenes heavyweights to engineer his campaigns and run his presidency, just to name a few.

W was denied admission to St. John's Academy (HS) and UT School of Law. This does not happen for no reason. His distinguishing accomplishment at his Dad's alma mater was joining the secret society of the Skull and Bones brotherhood. I'm a firm believer that strings were pulled on his behalf (as they were on so many other occasions) to get him into the ivy league track, unlike Obama, who did it the old-fashioned way (scholastic achievement) when he transferred to Columbia and was ultimately admitted to Harvard, where he graduated magna cum laude.

Bush does have an impressive record of failing at almost everything he every tried to do before (and after) his political career: In abstentia service in the National Guard, bombed election bid for the Texas House of Representatives in 1978, and an oil company that went bust which he left under a cloud of suspicion of insider trading. He did manage to capitalize on his 5-year dalliance with the Texas Rangers baseball team (could't really call what he did there REAL work) just long enough to get good name recognition for his run for gov and make a profitable sale of his shares in the team.

This less than stellar performance was totally eclipsed by the multitude of screw-ups while in office, way too much to get into in the confines of this forum. Bottom line for me is that his behavior and performance is very uninspiring, less than mediocre and not at all suggestive of much in the way of creativity or intellect....in other words, the polar opposite of the O. Hence the statement, IQ is good for the country. The wisdom angle was somebody else's attempt to side-step the issue of W's stupidity.

Excuses, excuses, excuses!
Just more excuses from the Sammunist party.

Excuses, excuses, excuses........

Do you realize that all you have are excuses
xx

They will keep on making excuses for him...
I thought that was obvious. lol. It won't be his fault...oh no, could NOT be his fault.

I see. You made excuses for him. nm

Nope...no excuses...(sm)
just pointing that it would be more beneficial for it to have been an Obama leak instead of a Bush leak. What would Bush have to gain from it?

And the excuses begin....
any republican would have been castigated. Your bias is showing. Mine, at least, is out in the open!

Excuses will still be made for him. nm

No doubt there will be thousands more excuses
nm

This are all excuses, why cannot people just say the TRUTH?,,nm

THE SAME, lame excuses! It was about the SIZE
and not asked for permission!

Getting ready for all the excuses that cronyism attaches to their colleagues. It's coming soon,
I'm sure. It won't be long before all those Bushites come up with some lame explanations that they think they can use to fool people. Just a bunch of con artists!
