Because the — all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled." --explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

"I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?" --in a note to to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a You.N. Security Council meeting, September 14, 2005

"We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch."

In fact, more,


PRESERVING FOR THE PAST BUSHISM

I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.


HEMIPSHERES BUSHISM

"Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods."


SADDAM HUSSEIN BUSHISM

"The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself."


ENVIRONMENTALIST BUSHISM

"I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully."


EMPATHETIC BUSHISM

"If a person doesn't have the capacity that we all want that person to have, I suspect hope is in the far distant future, if at all."


INDIGNANT BUSHISM

"They misunderestimated me."


REJECTIONIST BUSHISM

"I don't have to accept their tenants. I was trying to convince those college students to accept my tenants. And I reject any labeling me because I happened to go to the university."


LITERALIST BUSHISM

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."


HOPEFUL BUSHISM

"I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure."


SOCIAL ACTIVIST BUSHISM

"We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor like you like to be liked yourself."


APOLOGIST BUSHISM

"Unfairly, but truthfully, our party has been tagged as being against things. Anti-immigrant, for example."


BARD BUSHISM

"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."


BELIEVER BUSHISM

"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe -I believe what I believe is right."


THE PRESERVER BUSHISM

"This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve."

Speaking during Perseverance Month at Fairgrounds Elementary School in Nashua, N.H. As quoted in the Los Angeles Times, Jan. 28, 2000


ANGRY YOUNG MAN BUSHISM

"I don't remember debates. I don't think we spent a lot of time debating it. Maybe we did, but I don't remember."

On his discussions of the Vietnam War while a student at Yale University


MAN WITH A PAST BUSHISM

Marijuana? Cocaine? I'm not going to talk about what I did as a child."

Very memorable quote from an Iraqi:

I know those who are wedded to the idea of a failed Iraq are calling me a deluded idiot and worse. But things are improving slowly. My relatives in Baghdad say there's no comparison; things are much better than they were six months ago. They can visit friends in different areas and walk about the neighbourhood in the evening.

Frankly, I don't understand why so many mock us for wanting a future for Iraq. Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong?

It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live.

Afam:

Are you blind? This thread is about Bush not Clinton who built what Bush is busy destroying by the day in the US.

I-man:

Dont blame him, he thinks its like Nigeria where the new president comes in singing about "continuing the reforms" of the past administration.

Make una no vex, I been forget say una be republicans. I no even be democrat kpakpa so make una save una politics for here.

In Nigeria,the President operates like an Emperor with distribution of "Ghana Must Go "bags eroding most of the opposition to the President.Clinton had to operate with a Republican Congress.Every budget he passed had to be negotiated with the Republicans

Afam:

Make una no vex, I been forget say una be republicans. I no even be democrat kpakpa so make una save una politics for here.

I no be Republican,I admit I have conservative leanings.All we are saying is that you shouldn't make claims about Clinton building things as if the US is Nigeria.US politics dey more complicated than that

@Afam

Did you read about the sudden rush by Palestinians in certain part sof Jerusalem to acquire Israeli citizenship after Israel's proposal to give up those parts of Jerusalem.The Palestinians would rather be Israeli citizens than stay in a new palestinian state. . . . . .didn't you get the story in your "inbox"?

the truth takes a very long time to get to his inbox.
Just wait for the next round of complaints over Isreali "dehumanisation of the palestinians".

I doubt whether the truth ever gets to his inbox. . . .especially if its truth that doesn't paint Israel in a bad light.We already have his "next round of complaints",didn't you see what Botha,an Israeli to the core,said in 1985? 

Here's another gem I found
"We are fully committed to working with both sides to bring the level of terror down to an acceptable level for both." —George W. Bush, after a meeting with congressional leaders, Washington, D.C., Oct. 2, 2001
Afam would say--Enjoy!

And another one, the list is endless.
"Arbolist … Look up the word. I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, somebody who knows about trees." —George W. Bush, as quoted in USA Today, Aug. 21, 2001

Please stay on topic and lets have fun with this immoral and insidious evil mind called Bush.
Am on a roll I found another

"There's a lot of people in the Middle East who are desirous to get into the Mitchell process. And — but first things first. The — these terrorist acts and, you know, the responses have got to end in order for us to get the framework — the groundwork — not framework, the groundwork to discuss a framework for peace, to lay the—all right." —George W. Bush, referring to former Sen. George Mitchell's report on Middle East peace, Crawford, Texas, Aug. 13, 2001

Yeye people!

They gave up Gaza and now (according to a Zionist-wannabee on Nairaland), they are now giving up parts of Jerusalem. May God be praised!

We are waiting for the racist, Apartheid, assassination-hungry, mass-murdering, evil, despicable, shameless government of Israel to [b]voluntarily give back the West Bank!

Their useless American-made weapons cannot save them from the reality that, in the long-run, they will have to negotiate directly with the Arabs, of course as equals.

It's all a game of numbers!

I particularly love this one - it generated its own thread here on Nairaland:

"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, who is still very much alive, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007 GWB

Give back the west bank?

I thought the Palestinians were already ruling themselves in the West Bank. . .save for a few settlements?

The Arabs' powerless Russian made weapons got them defeated in one of the shortest wars in human history . . .I guess they are the ones who have to realise they need to negotiate with the Israeli as equals not 'infidels' after their attempts to drive Israel into the sea failed with a resounding defeat

@RichyBlacK
Israel will have to give back those lands it stole because time and demography is on the side of the Palestinians.

Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem calling to set up an appointment with the Interior Ministry to apply for an Israeli citizenship will discover the next available interview date is only in April.


In the months leading up to the upcoming Annapolis peace conference talk of a future division of the city has prompted a staggering increase in nationalization requests by Palestinians seeking to escape life under the Palestinian Authority.


Some 250,000 Palestinians currently reside in Jerusalem. Only 12,000 of them have sought to obtain an Israeli citizenship since 1967, an average of about 300 new citizens a year.


But over the past four months the Interior Ministry has registered an unprecedented 3,000 applications, primarily residents of the Arab neighborhoods unlikely to remain under Israeli sovereignty according to the political initiative currently on the agenda.

@RichyBlacK

Accurate!

In time, the knowledge behind the most sophisticated weapons will become pervasive. The so-called technological advantage will be narrowed. Who knew Iran could have the knowledge to build nuclear weapons (as war mongering Zionists like to shout). Knowledge, in any domain, is not infinite. The Arabs, Persians and Turks will catch up! Juicy!!!

Population-wise, the Israelis, being the Europeans they truly are, have a declining birth rate. This will ultimately work against them as the Arab states surrounding them have higher birth rates. This has contributed to the growing Arab population in the entire Middle-east. Israel is trying to improve its odds by encouraging anyone who claims to be a Jew to settle in Israel!

This game of numbers is just a lot of fun to watch!

Tornadoz:

If Nigeria as the  de facto power in west Africa encircles Togo, would the hapless Togolese want Nigeria citizenship out of love for Nigeria or as a means to an end?

Are the Palestinians seeking Israeli citizenship as a way to end Israel's occupation? Your mangled analogy is symptomatic of the level of your reasoning
