Dubya Manages to Once Again Prove Just How Big of an Idiot He Truly Is

There is very little that our current President George W. Bush could possibly do to “shock” American’s, let alone the rest of the world – but somehow the brainchild in the White House has managed to once again out do himself, this time using the G8 Summit to deliver his jaw dropping statement that reaffirms the notion that he is in fact a moron.
As I mentioned above this latest national embarrassment took place at the G8 Summit which was being held in Japan. The Summit’s purpose of course is designed to have all the worlds leaders meet and discuss ways of bettering the environment, and recently, actions that would cut back on global warming – both topics that this President seems to take pride in ignoring.
And Bush made no secret of just how little the environment means to him by delivering a “joke”, if you can even call it that, during his “farewell” statement at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world’s richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.
The Daily Telegraph was the first to report on Bush’s latest instance of inappropriate (and thats putting it politely) and downright tasteless acts for the whole world to see:
“The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.”
Can you imagine what it would take for you, or anyone with even the slightest hint of intelligence and/or integrity to say something like that, regardless of whether or not it was intended as a joke? Children are taught at a very young age that there is a time and place, a rule that our man Bush clearly was never able to grasp.
The whole situation is summed up best in the description of Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy’s reaction to Bush’s off the cuff attempt at humor. Moreover, this serves as a prime example of why so many across the world look at us in a different light then they have in the past – and going by remarks such as this one, I don’t know if I can blame them.
One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: “Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America’s record on pollution.”
Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the “most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice”.
The White House apologised for what it called “sloppy work” and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.
It just gets better and better with this guy doesn’t it? Come November we as a country have a chance to wipe the slate clean and start over with those who Bush has managed to burn bridges with time and time again. I understand many feel as though “what the rest of the world thinks about us doesn’t really matter”, an argument that’s about as generalized, and primitive of a viewpoint as one could possibly have.
That said, I am confident that enough American’s have realized that the road we have been led down at the hands of the GOP is not a road worth traveling, and that it’s time for a change in management.
