If George
W. Bush had ....



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 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 DVD's, 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 potato 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 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 7 months, 28 days -- so you have THREE YEARS,
FOUR MONTHS, THREE DAYS days to come up with an
answer.

That is very true. Now the question is, is Obama going to be so bad we get the Republicans back?

Sources: Limbaugh dropped from group seeking to purchase Rams Story Highlights
The group trying to buy the Rams says Rush Limbaugh is no longer invovled
Sources said any bid including Limbaugh had 'zero chance' of being approved
Source: 'The NFL isn't interested in having its own Mark Cuban situation'

By Don Banks, SI.com


One owner, several players and the league's commissioner have spoken out against having Rush Limbaugh involved in the NFL.
AP

If conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh ever had much of a chance to be a minority owner in a successful bid to buy the NFL's St. Louis Rams, it is now over, two league sources have confirmed to SI.com.

In a statement released Wednesday evening by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts -- who is heading the group that hopes to buy the Rams -- he announced Limbaugh's official exit from the bid. It is believed that Limbaugh's controversial participation would have doomed the group's effort in the eyes of NFL owners. League sources told SI.com that Limbaugh's candidacy in any Rams bid had "zero chance'' of being approved by the league's owners. In his statement, Checketts said Limbaugh's participation had become "a complication and a distraction'' to the group's efforts.

According to league sources, Limbaugh comes with too much troubling baggage in terms of his outspoken views that often intersect the divisive issues of politics and race in America. In a time when the NFL is hoping to have complete uniformity among its team owners in anticipation of the tough collective bargaining negotiations to come with the players union, there was little interest within the league to associate with an owner who is paid to give his highly charged opinions on the radio for hours each week.

"The league would be on pins and needles for three hours a day, five days a week,'' one league source said. "The NFL isn't interested in having its own Mark Cuban situation, where [the Dallas Mavericks owner] is fined for something he said, but then pays the fine, moves on and doesn't care what he says the next time either. The league wants the focus to always be on the game, not the opinions of any particular owner.''

One league source told SI.com that Checketts group was never completely configured any way, and that Limbaugh's participation was never set in stone. In that sense, when word surfaced that he would potentially hold minority ownership in the Rams, it was viewed as a trial balloon of sorts that never advanced much past the potential stage. Checketts is said to be seeking to replace Limbaugh's financial participation with other interested parties.

There was swift reaction to the idea of Limbaugh being involved in NFL ownership, and much of it was not favorable. NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith last weekend sent a letter to the group's board urging players to voice their opinion of Limbaugh's participation. And on Tuesday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear that Limbaugh would face a high bar regarding approval of his potential stake in the Rams.

"Divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about,'' Goodell said at a two-day NFL owners meeting in Boston. "I've said many times before, we're all held to a high standard here. I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL -- absolutely not.''

Goodell's strong comments were not just a message of sensitivity to the players in regards to Limbaugh's controversial reputation. One league source said it was a message to the league's entire customer base that the NFL would not be welcoming to a multi-platformed media figure who has a history of troubling and at times racially inflaming comments.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday predicted that Limbaugh's potential ownership would face stiff opposition within the league, and said he could never vote to approve such a group. A league source went even further Wednesday, telling SI.com that even with Limbaugh no longer involved, Checketts' ownership group from here on out would face questions regarding the wisdom of having associated itself with such a divisive presence in the first place. The source said Limbaugh within the league was seen as "a drain on anyone else in the group who might have legitimacy.''

Another league source voiced puzzlement over Checketts not discerning the potential backlash of Limbaugh's participation in his group in advance of the news becoming public. "I would have assumed he would have run it up the flagpole with the league before it became known,'' a league source said. "Then a tepid response would have told him where things stood.''

Others within the league believe that Limbaugh may have viewed his participation in Checketts group as nothing more than a dose of free publicity for the radio host, no matter the outcome or the response to his involvement. "There was no downside in any of this for him,'' a league source said. "He gets a week of free publicity, and in the end, he'll frame his rejection to his benefit.''

i'm no rush fan. i have strong conservative views and though i agree with most of his principles, he's a blowhard of immense proportions. i can't listen to him for more than 2 minutes. saying that, i can't believe he can't have a piece of an nfl team in american. what crime has he committed? i think the commish is screwing this one up. would have made good print and plenty of stories for the hacks. come to think of it, jerryworld is probably on the phone with him right now.

I think that's the point. The kind of print and stories that would be attached to Rush would BE the problem for the NFL. However, for those who have certain opinions about "Da Base" he could have been a good addition, I'm sure. No doubt, his posturing and efforts on this grabbed him some more listeners and gave him fodder to do another couple weeks of radio, though. He's a master at raising a ruckus.
