LOL! I guess that's possible, but how do you explain this Bushism from the same speech:
"And she upped her deductible last year to the minimum [sic], the highest possible deductible."

This one goes back to the election, but it is too good to ignore

It's even worth a special video tribute

Hi Tim, obviously you are a little unfamiliar with the concept. A "Bushism" is a term describing some malapropism of speech. When Obama says that costs are going to be reduced by 3,000%, it's Bushism because it's not possible to have a cost reduction of 3,000%. When President Bush said that there were national security reasons to take out the leader of a terrorist nation who had literally launched thousands of attacks against our country, it really does make us safer.
Anything else I can explain for you?

Oh, I just assumed Bush misspoke when he talked about us being safer because we aren't. And when he talked about Iraq having WMD, cuz they didn't. And when he linked Iraq with 9/11 since Iraq had nothing to do with it. And when he called himself a conservative but increased the size of the federal government. And when he called himself a conservative but greatly increased the federal deficit. And when he paid for the Iraq war through "emergency" appropriations bills instead of putting the money in the real budget. That one seemed like he might have done it so his real budget wouldn't look as awful as it really was. But he wouldn't do that, so I assumed that was a kind of Bushism in action rather than just words.
But thank you for explaining to me how we are so much safer.

I'll be more than happy to debate the reasoning behind the Iraq war with you. But I suggest you educate yourself a little bit first. A good starting place would be President Bush's speech to the UN on September 12, 2002.
You might also want to research the thousands of attacks on the United States from Iraq between 1991 and 2003 and the failed assassination plot against a former US President.
