Unbelievably, this photo is for real. It's Dubya writing a note during a U.N. Security Council session. He looks pretty bored. Click the photo - it'll take you to the Reuters website. The caption reads:

U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan's vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.
Man, I wish people would leave Bush alone. I'm sure every president in history have been bored in these type of situations. It's only human. I'll tell you something more, all of the disasters and complications that have come along while serving his term I think no other president could have handled it the way he has. This man truly has God on his side and is very out spoken about his christianity. More than I can say about the others. You can say well why did he send the troops over into Iraq to fight because that isn't our business but if it wasn't for him those people could be in our country running over us. Be for sure these people who are against Bush and never have a good thing to say about him will run to him like cowards when we are faced with terrorism or war in our country. Count on that shit. By the way, learn to scratch nigga!
You have got to be kidding me. Bush has got to be the worst president in the history of this country. Four and a half years into his term, and he doesn't know if there's a protocol for asking for a recess in a UN meeting? Four and a half years into his term, and he's already taken a full year of vacation? (That's over 20% of the time in office, not counting nights and weekends, which he does not work.) A Category 5 hurricane, and he doesn't cut his vacation short immediately? The World Trade Center is attacked, and he keeps reading a story to kids, and then disappears for a day on Air Force One?
The man started a war on false pretenses - no WMD, and there were never any reports of Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq until we invaded. Now for every "insurgent" we kill, two more pop up. Saddam Hussein (and Iraq) and terrorists were two completely separate subjects until Bush went and fucked it up. I won't be running to Bush, because he'll probably be in the corner pissing his pants if we get invaded. Or maybe he'll be with the Texas Air National Guard, playing volleyball with the secretarial pool and doing lines of coke.
You say he's got God on his side. I would rather he have reason on his side. He outright rejects expert scientific knowledge on global warming, birth control, HIV transmission, the weather, evolution, the list goes on. The man couldn't think his way out of a cardboard box without Karl Rove. Under his watch, the ranks of the poor have grown, civil liberties have been taken away, and the economy has completely stagnated. He hasn't even generated enough jobs to account for population growth. The middle class has become destabilized with the increasing cost of health care, corporations have more and more power to destroy consumer finances (see the new bankruptcy bill for an example) and the rich - they get tax cuts.
Fuck Bush. He's going to be remembered as the president who ruined America.
well said dennis.
