Bush is Baaack in a Billboard

Bush-missmeyet_9b81a.jpg

I saw this on CNN last night and cheered. I've been wanting the Dems to bring back Bush because he's responsible for the mess our country has been left with after he split the scene, man. The GOP knows it and that's why he's been off the national stage for so long. He didn't look too happy going out there in front of the cameras to help during the Haitian earthquake.

Americans are strange people when it comes to politics, and as we've seen with the polling of the mythical independent voters, the numbers go up and down all the time. The determining factor seems to me to be who is in power at the time when your life sucks. So this country is about to reelect the people who created our misery.

For many liberals President Obama hasn't handled these problems as the progressive we want him to be, but in his defense, he didn't initiate two wars in the Middle East after we were hit with a terrorist attack, and he didn't allow the global financial meltdown to happen right before his eyes. So if some people want to bring back BUSH for us, I'm all in.

Bob Collins says that nobody knows who actually bought the billboard that says" Miss Me Yet?"

Digby calls it Presidential Rehab, but I think this would be a blessing if he's trotted out there again. We can promote the theme of "Don't Get Fooled Again." We had eight long years that proved to all of America that Conservatism was and is a failure.

I didn't realize I-35 extended all the way up from Austin to Minnesota. But in retrospect, I guess I-35 is where he made that "impulsive" right turn as he drove East from Billings in order to come down to Texas instead of driving all the way across the country to New York.

at Minnesota Public Radio said:

Mary Teske, the general manager of Schubert & Hoey Outdoor Advertising reports, "The Bush Miss Me Yet? billboard was paid for by a group of small business owners who feel like Washington is against them. They wish to remain anonymous. They thought it was a fun way of getting out their message."

I guess it's another case of truth being in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah, because the stupid bastards can't figure out it was Bush and the corporate fascists who screwed them.

Like many small business repukes around me, these people started businesses in the 1990's under the democrats and Clinton, and built successful companies that made some serious cash.

Ever since Bush and the repukes took over, they have been going belly up, or struggling to stay alive.

So like any intelligent dumbass republican - what do they do? Blame the democrats!

God are these people fucking stupid!


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

Followed the link and it said it was in Wyoming. So I thought Bush put it up for Cheney. Then I learned it is in Wyoming, Minn. so I thought Bush put it up for Michelle Bachmann since she just went through her first State of the Union without him.

I think our (liberal bloggers etc) screaming and pushing and shoving are maybe having some effect on Obama? He's beginning to grasp that he won't be re-elected if he doesn't satisfy his supporters?

Honestly, the only thing most politicians can think about is getting re-elected.

he won't be re-elected. he's completely lost the swing
voters. 4% here or there and your done. it's not the base

..that man is a criminal and we don't have the stones to put him where he belongs and/or charge him with the crimes he committed OR that the President who fails to investigate those crimes may have as well as committed those crimes himself OR that the President's failure to have the DOJ do anything puts us all in jeopardy every time we leave the country. No, I didn't that reminder.

I'm mythical now? do I get a unicorn? pony at least?

Most of the independents I know are young, under 25. I wonder if that holds true for most. They grew up after both parties were corporatist, so why should the pick one? They are also the group getting hurt most by the economy.

//does not miss Bush ...
//still thinks billboard hilarious

dnegri's picture

They're also the age group must gullible to the siren song of Libertarianism and Ayn Rand. Sophomoric.

But because Independents are such a disparate group, I wouldn't label them demographically.

Hechicera's picture

The under 25s I know that read Rand are Young Republicans. Yeah, capitalized, really.

The young independents I know are cynical. They know they are being marketed to by both parties and don't have time to sort out the truth of the matter. A couple of them only vote as far down the ticket they have been able to research candidates for.

Independents are disparate, true, but I think I have seen demographics that show a higher percentage of younger voters are independents than in my generation.

dnegri's picture

Oh, please, someone out there....put up a billboard right next to it, with a big NO. Shouldn't cost much.

...the repukes ARE GOING TO rewrite history. They already live in a fantasy world. Facts are not important or necessary. Shame on Emanuel for using the "retard" word, but it's all fine and dandy that the tub-a-lard racist, limpballs, uses it...emphatically.

The right wing knows very well that if you say it often enough, and loud enough...the weak minded Americans will suck it up. Fox propaganda keeps pumping the lies and distortions, and the tea-baggers and audience eat that shit up like there is no tomorrow.

We REALLY ARE a weak minded nation of fools. OUR VOICE is pathetic.
Drive across the USA sometime, and see just what the airwaves are filled with!....hate filled limpballs, savage and vannity....24/7. You can ONLY get progressive talk radio in the major cities, if at all. OUR VOICE IS WEAK!!

The Democratic Party and the progressive movement in this country are fighting an uphill battle, if the media is poison and being shoved down their throats.

I have been in LA (where there's a liberal AM station) for much of the last six months where, and I have been fortunate enough to have had Sirius in my rental car. But I'm also keenly aware of the vacuum of most of American radio markets.

Two weeks of Amarillo, Knoxville, or Orlando radio can drive the sober to drink. Of course, the smaller cities are usually worse, as many don't have a strong enough signal to broadcast NPR.

Sirius/XM radio in rental cars has sadly become more necessary than A/C in Florida or cruise control in West Texas. Unfortunately, thanks to the Bush Recession, most residents of these cities and towns don't have the same luxury.

"I've been wanting the Dems to bring back Bush because he's responsible for the mess our country has been left with after he split the scene, man."

Nope. Bush WAS responsible for this country's mess until January 20, 2009. All that has happened since then is NOT on Bush's watch.

What I find highly ironic is to compare Obama with FDR. In 1933, FDR and the Democrats did not blame everything on Hoover and the Republicans, although they had legitimate reason to. Unlike Obama and his party today, FDR and his party rolled up their sleeves and went to work. Who can ever forget FDR's classic statement that "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"? THAT kind of leadership was why I voted for Obama. I was had, and I do NOT like being had.
