Bush Shows He Is Delusional At News Conference!

from JoeUser Forums



Yesterday George Bush forcefully defended his fiscal policies at his news conference. It was clear that Bush believes what he is saying despite that the results of the past 6 years show a total opposite reality. Bush again stated his disagreement with the criticism of Alan Greenspan who has said the Bush tax cuts and spending policies were irresponsible and have caused harm to our country. Bush also talked about the inability of Social Security and Medicare to pay the benefits that have been promised to the Baby Boomers that are getting ready to retire.

Bush totally ignored the fact that when he took office we had a balanced budget for the first time in over 20 years. The very first year he was in office he returned to annual budget deficits because of his tax cuts and increased spending. That policy has added $4 Trillion dollars to the debt of this country. Bush was warned in 2001 by Greenspan, O’Neil and Walker NOT to return to annual deficits and to tie any tax cuts to the so called surplus that Bush claimed was the justification for his tax cuts. Bush ignored the advice of the most knowledgeable experts in this country as to how he should manage our tax and spending policies. That refusal created the unprecedented debt that Greenspan criticized in his new book. For Bush to say he disagrees with Greenspan given both Greenspan’s track record and the fact the Bush fiscal policy has increased the debt MORE then ANY other President in our history, proves that Bush is delusional.

Then Bush turned to Social Security and its inability to pay the promised benefits. He said the reason that we have not resolved the Social Security funding problem is because Congress refused to pass the Bush suggestion to allow the creation of private accounts with part of individual Social Security taxes. The Bush suggestion would actually make Social Security even MORE unable to keep its promises. Thus what Bush said is totally opposite from reality. His plan not only would not solve the Social Security fiscal problem it would make the problem WORSE. What Bush suggested is like a person who intended to purchase a gallon of Milk for $3.00 who only has $2.00 in his pocket. He then offers to give the person in front of him $. 50 Cents to help them out. That would make him a $1.50 short of what he needed to purchase the milk.

Finally Bush turned to the inability of Medicate to keep its promises to the Baby Boomers. When Bush took office Medicare had a projected shortfall to meet future benefit payments. Bush and the GOP controlled Congress added to Medicare the Prescription Drug Plan without funding that new entitlement. Thus the action of Bush and the GOP took a serious problem and made it WORSE. Now Bush warns us about Medicare which he and the GOP made substantially worse.

If anyone else said the same things as Bush said yesterday they would be ignored as simply out of touch. The problem is that the person that is out of touch happens to be the leader of this country. To have a leader who is totally wrong and who refuses to look at reality is dangerous for the future our country!

I do not know how old he is but I doubt Harvard would hire a person that was not qualified. As one of Bush's teachers he would be in a far better position to know about Bush then you or me. His statements also back up the statements of Greenspan who said the Bush fiscal policy was irresponsible and a major problem. That tracks with the Bush grades in Economics at Yale and at Harvard. It does not seem to matter to people like you and others on Joe User so long as the comments are not favorable toward GWB they are some how wrong or their is an attempt to discredit the person making the comments. Face it - Bush is an IDIOT and has screwed up many things for our country including the fiscal management. Bush did not learn much at Yale or Harvard and did not disserve to go to either school given his academic performance. It is just another example of how a looser got his Father to take care of little George!!!!!

Bush had a low “C” Average at Yale and was a middle range student at Harvard. He ran two companies into the ground and was of no real accomplishment prior to being elected Governor of Texas. He took credit for accomplishments in Texas that it turns out were actually initiated by the Texas legislature not Governor Bush. Add his failure to fulfill his obligations in the Texas Air National Guard, and his drinking problems until age 40, and you have a picture of a looser who got everything by virtue of his Father and his Father’s contacts.

This CNN Report is similar to what The Professor wrote to me when I was researching GWB for my book:

From Phil Hirschkorn
CNN

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A business school professor who taught George W. Bush at Harvard University in the early 1970s says the future president told him that family friends had pulled strings to get him into the Texas Air National Guard.
Yoshi Tsurumi, in his first on-camera interview on the subject, told CNN that Bush confided in him during an after-class hallway conversation during the 1973-74 school year."He admitted to me that to avoid the Vietnam draft, he had his dad -- he said 'Dad's friends' -- skip him through the long waiting list to get him into the Texas National Guard," Tsurumi said. "He thought that was a smart thing to do."


Tsurumi got to know Bush when the future president took his "Economics EAM" (Environmental Analysis for Management), a required two-semester class from the fall of 1973 to the spring of 1974, Bush's first year at Harvard's business school.

Bush had transferred to Air National Guard reserve status before he enrolled in the MBA program. He had enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard in May 1968 and trained to fly fighter jets until he was suspended from flying status in August 1972 for failing to submit to an annual physical, according to Bush's military records released earlier this year.
Tsurumi said he remembers Bush because every teacher remembers their best and worst students, and Bush was in the latter group."Lazy. He didn't come to my class prepared," Tsurumi said. "He did very badly."

telling CNN that teachers remember their best and worst students and that 'Bush was in the latter group'.

"Lazy. He didn't come to my class prepared," Tsurumi told CNN. "He did very badly ... Somehow I found him totally devoid of compassion, social responsibility, and good study discipline. What I remember most about him was all the kind of flippant statements that he made inside of classroom as well as outside."

Although Tsurumi's comments were quickly dismissed by Bush supporters and staff as overtly partisan and therefore unreliable,[citation needed] he has continued to be a persistent and vocal critic of the President's politics and policies.


this makes you a lier because you didn't contact him. you just read wiipiedia on him

NO you are mistaken. I contacted Prof. Taurumi and we exchanged E-Mails and letters. He told me in his E-mails about his conversations with Bush about his guard service and told me that Bush was one of his poorest students and that he had some very strange ideas. Thus I did not lie as you state. I have told the truth and included what the Professor told me via his E-mails and letters. It is all true and just confirms what Greenspan, O’Neil and Walker have said about the Bush fiscal policies-- they were irresponsible and have damaged our country!

This is your stock answer when ever you are PROVEN WRONG. Here is what I said:

More insight into George W.
Contact with the economics professor of George W. at Harvard

Discussion: Politics
Yesterday I received a note and letters from Professor Yoshi Tsurumi, the economics professor of George W. at Harvard. Professor Tsurumi provided me two pieces of information that helped flush out the character of George W.

He provided copies of letters he wrote (published in The Scarsdale Inquirer) and one written by Nicholas D. Kristof of the New York Times. Mr. Kristof vetted the claims of Professor Tsurumi, who has been the victim of vicious attacks by the White House operatives.

The professor recalls a conversation with George W. one fall day in 1973. George was wearing a Guard jacket and the professor asked him how he got into the Guard. As we all know George W. answered with the "help of daddy and his good friends". The new information for me was a second statement by George W. when Professor Tsurumi asked George W. how he finished his National Guard commitment so quickly. The answer was “I got an early honorable discharge". The professor asked how he was able to do that and George W. answered," oh daddy had a good friend".






The second issue gets even more to what George W. is about. Professor Tsurumi vividly remembers George W. because of his outrageous statements such as,

"people were poor because they were lazy"

He opposed labor unions, Social Security, Environmental Protection, Medicare and Public Schools. To him the Federal Trade Commission and SEC were unnecessary hindrances to "free market completion".

The policies of FDR were socialism.

He showed his lack of compassion for the ordinary working Americans.

Does this sound like a "Compassionate Conservative" to ANYONE? Does this sound like the teachings of the Christian faith George W. professes?

The professor does provide some very interesting insight into the man who would be reelected President.

YOUR attitude has enabled Bush and the GOP in Congress to get us into war, all but bankrupt our country, fail to protect our borders and ports, and ignore the needs of the majority of our citizens. You are a SORRY American and I hope enough of our people CARE to insure our country remains free and strong. That will not be any thanks to you, Bush and those who support the policies we have been following since January 2001.
