Could Kanye West be right when he said "Bush doesn't like black people"?

Okay, so this thread is meant for humor, but is it funny.

Seeing the images on the news of Bush comforting hurricane victims, I wondered if Bush had been photographed hugging a non-white person. With help of Google's image searcher, so far I have not found a single one!

Then there's the 9/11 hug.

And while we're on the subject, here's the Rudy hug.

Some father-son hand-holding.

He'll hold hands with the man now in charge of Saudi Arabia's oil.

Bush will hug the Russian leader responsible for wisespread censorship of media.


Of course, when he and Tom Daschle (D) hugged, all details were quickly denied!

Here's Bush winning the support of a few key moderate voters by getting McCain to hug him. (And possibly McCain nabbing the 2008 presidency?)

Hug Condi? Negative.

Hug Powell? Negative.

Hug Rumsfeld? Well, maybe only on SNL.

...

And then ... just then, as if the White House Press Secretary had foreseen my concerns, I found the motherload. The White House website had the attached picture, proving once and for all, Bush loves black people!

If Feingold doesn't run or doesn't win the Democratic nomination, then McCain will get my vote. However, he's far too sensible for the Neo-Con Fun-duh-mentalists to support, so I doubt I'll have the pleasure.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-11/22/content_393699.htm

but dont' believe everything google finds.. I found this too.
*from SNL script it seems*

[ open on exterior, White House ]

[ dissolve to interior, Oval Office, President George W. Bush speaking with Donald Rumsfeld as Condoleeza Rice watches ]

President George W. Bush: Donald.. I thought you did real good testifying in front of the committee yesterday. I thought you really stuck it to them. Especially that old guy with the big head!

Donald Rumsfeld: You're talking about Ted Kennedy?

President George W. Bush: Yeah. That guy!

Donald Rumsfeld: Well, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President, I appreciate that, but, uh.. I also see the writing on the wall. The American people want me to go. And you yourself got pretty mad at me. So.. maybe it's time.. I should go. I don't want to miss my plane. I just want you to know.. I'll never forget all that we had.

President George W. Bush: Neither will I.

[ they hug ]

Donald Rumsfeld: Alright, now I really do need to go. I'm off to a NATO conference. In Paris. Au revoir.

[ Rumsfeld exits the Oval Office ]

Condoleeza Rice: So.. you just let him go, sir.

President George W. Bush: Yes, I did, Condi.

Condoleeza Rice: Well.. maybe it's for the best, sir. A lot of people were calling for his resignation. Maybe, politically, it's better for you. You know, you two need to be away from each other, and.. maybe you can finally.. get over him.

President George W. Bush: It's true. Except.. I don't want to get over him.

Condoleeza Rice: You're going to go after him, sir? [ excited ] My taxi's outside! I'll drive you to the airport!

[ "Friends" theme plays as we dissolve to nighttime exterior shot of the White House ]

[ dissolve back to interior, Oval Office ]

President George W. Bush: [ re-enters ] I'm going to check my messages here.

[ Bush presses button on answering machine, as the tape rewinds and begins to play ]

Voice of Donald Rumsfeld: Mr. President. Hi. It's me. And I just got on the plane. I just feel awful. And that is so not how I wanted things to end with us. Now I'm just sitting here, and thinking of all the stuff I should have said, and I didn't, and I.. I mean, I didn't even get a chance to tell you that I love you, too! Because, of course I do - I love you, I.. I love you. I love you. [ a beat ] What am I doing? I love you! I've gotta see you, I've gotta get off this plane..

President George W. Bush: [ excited, jumps to his feet ] Oh, my God!

Voice of Donald Rumsfeld: Excuse me..

Voice of Flight Attendant: Mr. Secretary. Please, sit down.

Voice of Donald Rumsfeld: No, I'm sorry. I'm the Secretary of Defense, and I need to get off the plane, okay? I need to just tell someone that I love him!

Voice of Flight Attendant: Mr. Secretary. I can't let you off the plane.

President George W. Bush: [ screaming ] Let him off the plane!!

Voice of Flight Attendant: I'm afraid you're going to have to take your seat.

Voice of Donald Rumsfeld: Please, Miss, you don't understand..

President George W. Bush: Try to understand!!

Voice of Donald Rumsfeld: Oh, come on, Miss! Isn't there any way that you can just let me off this --

[ machine beeps, message over ]

President George W. Bush: [ panicking ] No! No! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Did he get off the plane?! Did he get off the plane?!

[ cut to Rumsfeld standing in the door frame ]

Donald Rumsfeld: I got off the plane.

President George W. Bush: [ tense excitement fills his face ] You got off the plane.

[ they slowly walk toward one another, hug, then open-mouth kiss ]

Donald Rumsfeld: My God.. I do love you.

President George W. Bush: I love you, too.

Donald Rumsfeld: Good! Because this is where I want to be.

President George W. Bush: Oh my God, I'm sorry I got mad at you.. I will never fire you. I-I-I don't care if you never told me about those pictures.. I-I-I-I.. or all the other stuff happening in Iraq! I don't want to know anything about Iraq! I hate that place!

Donald Rumsfeld: Don't you worry - I'll make sure you know absolutely nothing from now on.

President George W. Bush: Oh, Mr. Secretary.. friends for life?

Donald Rumsfeld: Friends for life. But I do have one more thing that I have to tell you.

President George W. Bush: Ohhh.. you're not gonna write a book, are ya'?

Donald Rumsfeld: No. It's worse than that. [ turns to face the camera ] "Live, from New York, it's Saturday Night!" [ as Forte moves in for an impromptu kiss, making Hammond laugh as he speaks ]

Didn't Condi once refer to Bush as her 'husband'? :eek:

He might not hug African-American people, but look what he can get white me to do:

You know - I have long suspected this sort of thing since the whole group of them moved into the white house. All that repressed religious stuff and then the Jeffery Gant thingie and now this picture....

Has anyone checked Bush's cigars for (???), well I was going to say DNA but in retrospect...

OMG - I am going to get SO flamed for this post.

Then again, I'm so pissed at the whole bunch of them I don't really give a flying f*u*k. :D

I'd like to see a mccain lieberman presidency.

actually..
09-09-2005 10:21
did anyone see Bush hugging some black young adults? it was on tv (either FOX news or CNN) and they were showing him walking through New Orleans and you could see the disbelief and concern on his face.

then he stopped to hug a couple young adults.. black girls. he held them tight, and his face was copntorted with sympathetic pain.

that moment showed me a Bush Jr. who actually does care and got me thinking.. maybe we shouldn't be harnguing him for the war. maybe he's been played like a puppet and doesn't know how to get out, so he keeps going forward. because the Bush i saw that day on tv was someone who got down into the nitty gritty streets, without a crowd of secret service around him and showed his concern in more ways than pushing forward billions of dollars in aid.. he showed compassion and concern for everyday people. not big business, not policy-makers, etc.. but just random kids off the street who all need a good bear hug.


(don't get me wrong, i'm not saying he's a wonderful president or anything. i'm just saying.. i think he cares more than people are being presented with)

There are moment when he drops the snark and displays something like empathy for the common people. In those rare, unguarded moments, I see the glimmerings of somebody who could be a real leader for all Americans.

But then the shutters slam down and he's off to cut taxes for billionaires by slashing social programs for hungry kids, and I sigh and shake my head and wonder what the hell I was thinking.

Sorry about this in advance Cybin - because you DO have a point. I'm just jaded beyond recognition at this juncture.

Least we forget... he has been given a great deal of power.

And (insert spider-man sound track) with that great power comes great responsibility.

He literally not figuratively holds lives in his very hands with the day to day policy and decisions he makes.

No I don't think we should have had the head of FEMA who was so under-qualified to handle emergency situations. Blood is on his hands as well as who assigned him FEMA.

I have no compassion for someone holding the seat he does. What do you mean "he doesn't know how to get out".. RESIGN for christsake and save some lives!

The head of FEMA has been asked if he will resign. When Bush was asked if he would he said quote "Why?". When told "because of the handling of the response" he responded "what wasn't done right?"

I'm sure it will all just be "re-written".. I'm sure Winston is hard at work now.

-----------------------------------------------------

With the deep, unconscious sigh which not even the nearness of the telescreen could prevent him from uttering when his day' work started, Winston pulled the speakwrite towards him, blew the dust from its mouthpiece, and put on his spectacles. Then h unrolled and clipped together four small cylinders of paper which had already flopped out of the pneumatic tube on the right-han side of his desk

In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speakwrite, a small pneumatic tube for written messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers; and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.

Winston examined the four slips of paper which he had unrolled. Each contained a message of only one or two lines, in the abbreviated jargon — not actually Newspeak, but consisting largely of Newspeak words — which was used in the Ministry for internal purposes. They ran:

times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported africa rectify
times 19.12.83 forecasts 3 yp 4th quarter 83 misprints verify current issue
times 14.2.84 miniplenty malquoted chocolate rectify
times 3.12.83 reporting bb dayorder doubleplusungood refs unpersons rewrite fullwise upsub antefiling

With a faint feeling of satisfaction Winston laid the fourth message aside. It was an intricate and responsible job and had better be dealt with last. The other three were routine matters, though the second one would probably mean some tedious wading through lists of figures.

Winston dialled ‘back numbers’ on the telescreen and called for the appropriate issues of the Times, which slid out of the pneumatic tube after only a few minutes” delay. The messages he had received referred to articles or news items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, as the official phrase had it, to rectify.

For example, it appeared from the Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone. It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened. Or again, the Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today's issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong.

Winston's job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. As for the third message, it referred to a very simple error which could be set right in a couple of minutes. As short a time ago as February, the Ministry of Plenty had issued a promise (a ‘categorical pledge’ were the official words) that there would be no reduction of the chocolate ration during 1984. Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week. All that was needed was to substitute for the original promise a warning that it would probably be necessary to reduce the ration at some time in April.

The Bush bashing thing is really getting old, it's literally impossible at this point for him to do anything at all without being torn down in some way for it. And I guarantee that there's plenty of shit you can dig up on virtually any other politician too. But if Bush was to do something his political opponents want (which he actually has done), it'll be spun as any of the following:

-Giving up his position, realizing that it's not popular among "true Americans"
-Giving up his position, due to political pressure from the left and/or lack of support of his own party (because even they now realize that he is a bad man)
-A compromise, meant to be a tradeoff to get some other "secret deal" in return
-Not the same as what his opponents wanted, because "they wanted a 60% increase instead of a 55% increase which is damn near useless!"
-Insignificant, because of the other X number of numerous (completely unrelated) bad things he has done (most of which congress is probably more responsible for in the first place)
-"Too little and/or too late"
-"Sure, he managed to get gas prices to drop (even though presidents can't really have an effect on them), but it was to help the automobile companies sell more gas-guzzling SUVs, and to help the greedy corporations save money on shipping fees!"
-"A sign of weakness"
-"A realization that he was wrong"
-Insert whatever else you want here

There's something wrong with this picture. I'm sure the Republicans did it to Clinton, but it just makes me think-- "ARRRRRRG".

But it's nice to see a few people recognize that he's actually also a fellow human being who really does give a shit when people die or suffer, unlike what some would seemingly have you believe. I mean, unless you think he's a GREAT actor and he's faking it every time he talks about poverty in Africa, or the victims of terrorist attacks, or disaster victims... I'm not so naive that I don't think politicans ever do this but I think often you can tell.

If bush hates black people, why would he hire Condoleeza Rice? Seriously, he's put more non-white people into government positions than Clinton did...
