Bill Maher - George of the Bungle

[meghaljani]

You can say the same things about Obama!

[s5b678]

@meghaljani Please make the list of comparable Obama failures. And yes they have to be comparable.

[meghaljani]

@s5b678 Here you go.

1) Bush's biggest budget deficit was $500 billion. Obama gave $1.65 trillion deficit.

2) During first three years bush gave Afghanistan war because we were attacked, and Obama gave us Libya war even if we were not attacked.

3) Bush appointed an experienced judicial scholar John Roberts in the supreme court and Obama appointed Alana Kagan to the supreme court with no judicial history.

If you want some more comparison, I will give you. 

[yajo891]

@meghaljani either you hate black people or love bush, btw obama had to spend so much cause of the mess bush left behind

[emantabrizi]

@meghaljani ... 1) Incorrect. Bush's largest budget deficit was $1.4 trillion. Look it up.

2) Bush started a war in Iraq. Did Iraq attack us? No. Obama didn't start the war in Libya. We are there in a supporting role, only.

3) John Roberts' experience consists of 2 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. Elena Kagan was nominated to that same court in 1999 by Pres. Clinton, but her nomination was blocked by Republican Orrin Hatch. She went on to become the Dean of Harvard Law.

"Take a hint" haha

[WinkyMaeve]

@twisttheking he insults the right wing constantly, belittles religion, but is one of the worlds biggest donaters to AIPAC and Israel, and hes not even jewish, hes just an american guy who says he hates religion and right wing ideas,this guy will make fun of Jesus himself, but if a guest goes on his show and says something bad about Israel, they are interrupted and ignored, and I am not anti-semitic at all, hes just a complete hypocritic 

[morningchaps]

@WinkyMaeve Right, you are aware that a view on foreign policy & a view on religion aren't always the same thing, yes? Bagging religion as a f*cked up way to understand the world around us & a rotten excuse to be arrogant, judgemental & arbitrary doesn't necessarily mean he has to think that Israel is consistently wrong in it's dealings with the Arab world. I think that, morally, he's maintained a fairly even keel. I don't always agree with him but he's hardly a hypocrite.

[ig249]

@WinkyMaeve Actually he's half Jewish. But I see your point overall.

[WinkyMaeve]

you guys understand bill maher is a hypocrite right?

[wakarimaska]

George Bush is the worts president ever in the history of man kind! Thanks america for having this retard as president for 8 years.

[rycherulz]

Why does YouTube have it when too many people give a "thumbs down" to the same comment, it disappears? Those are the best ones to read!!! That's the only reason I even bother to read them at all.

I like Bill Maher but remember..he's an entertainer and that is what it's all about. Ratings and money. It's what we all care about most. George Bush is the fuel...comedians are the engines that need the fuel.

[soda1yes]

@Handiman544 If its all about ratings ( I assume you are implying that Maher's statements have no merit) then what is your analogy for Fox News.

[Hammerhead547]

Dick "The Prick" Cheney was t to King George The Imbecile what Poison was the Catherine De Medici, he just a tool for the infliction of pain and suffering upon his enemies both real and imagined. George bush is a shining light to all stupid people that showed that you don't need to be smart to run a country but you should at least be able to keep your lies straight so that all of the fools who gave you the crown don't start screaming for your head on a silver platter.

[Screatus]

Megadeth!!!

[david052856]

@tyrone9009 no lol

[RandomMindz]

you americans took your sweet ass time gettin George Bush impeached!!

oh wait WE DIDN'T get him impeached!!

I know I couldn't, I am one black man who is considered paranoid by my peers!!

[lennycaprino2]

Please george go home now!

[mikederpanzer]

in the states its bad, because you basically have only 2 choices, and they are both 'evil', you have to choose one, so you choose the lesser evil. it sucks. everyone should go independent! ha. mother nature wins in the end.

[culdadio]

Helter skelter! All these comments & responses seem to amount to mere rock throwing by people that live in glass houses. The sad fact is that, no matter who gets elected, certain people are going to think this country is headed in the wrong damned direction. The irony is that Mother Nature will ultimately have the last laugh over and above all the whining! Power to the people?...yeah, in your dreams!

[linda254]

whoa, jeremebp, speaking of research, you have spelled Maher's name incorrectly. Did you not hear last week, that one can only get the truth about the state of the nation from comedians. It was said because comedians are the only people who tell Americans the truth, they certainly don't get it on the evening news. I work for a news organization.

[Blissinflux]

It was a cover story on UTNE. "Want to Know What's Going On In the World? Ask a Comedian" or something like that...so true.

[074August]

If it weren't for late night tv, Americans wouldn't know about what they should be concerned.

[Blissinflux]

Well I can't speak for all 280 million Americans (or all of any group for that matter), but if you're referring to "The Daily Show", that is broadcast to a lot of other places nations besides America.

Oh, and some of us actually read. Newspapers, magazines... I know, it's hard to believe, but we do.

[Blissinflux]

Places and* nations, oops.

[074August]

flux, print media follows what late night comedians say in their monologues.

[sumpseudonym81]

Clinton left this country open for attack? Are you new here? You should read more. You've missed about 6 years worth of information to the contrary. Now get off the computer and crack those books!

[linda254]

supseudonym, I hope typing your name doesn't fill up all of the characters in this post. Why did Bush not pay attention to Richard Clarke? A comprehensive plan was left by Clinton to deal with Al-qaida, Bush Cheney et al used the Taliban to execute the implosions of the WTC. Did you miss that part?

[sumpseudonym81]

Genius, that's MY point! Reread the post.

[YamsRyu]

Because if I did, whenever I mention Clinton, there'd be a joke about his lying in court, claiming he never smoked pot because 'I never inhaled', trying to put a new spin on the definition of sex and what 'is' is, and etc and so forth. Bush is a good man, and I'd like to see anyone that critisizes him, try and do as good a job as he was. Clinton was the one that left this country open for attack. Bush was the one to try and put it back together. [I really hate this limit on replies]

[linda254]

Clinton lied over fallacio, nothing to do with the Constitution. It was not even a valid constitutional offense. Lying and scheming to fool the American people to go is treason. Blowing up the WTC is murder and there is no statute of limitation on murder.

[jmoricca]

"id like to see anyone that criticizes him try and do as good a job"...HE is president...HE was voted president...both times pretty close and with a lot of scandal surrounding the whole thing. I criticize the president, because he works for me, and i think hes doing a shitty job. I know i wouldnt be a good president. So UNlike Bush, i dont run for president. That makes me a better than he could ever hope to be.

[vampaholic07]

"Bush is a good man" WOW! He's the WORST president this country ever had. We are only allowed a certain amt. of characters or I would write you a "small" list of his failures and faults! Get real, no one is ignorant enough to honestly believe Bush is a "good man".

[tonyac42]

I have a bigger problem with deposed King George IV's Prime Minister Dick Cheney.

[EZparadox]

@vampaholic07 This country is unbelievable. How was this man elected twice?

[Kimmis1990]

@EZparadox just like every other politican. The ppl voted for him!!!

[OctoroonToYou]

@EZparadox Simple... FEAR MONGERING.

[RealNumskull]

@EZparadox Once with fewer votes than the other guy and once with rigged machines.

[ThePeeterd]

@vampaholic07 no sir,he wasn,t the worse, the vwhore president is the president who doesn,t admit he was the worst

[yantank]

Plese mr. president. take his advice

[debwal]

RECALL!! RECALL!!

[freesouljah]

some excellent points...and jokes...

[YamsRyu]

Points? What points? All I see are bad jokes, and even worse jokes. If joking is all this guy can do to try and point out 'flaws' then he should get a career as a comedian, and stay one, because even I know not to crack out jokes by the bucketfull when trying to discuss something serious.

[linda254]

YamsRyu, guess you have no sense of humor? These are the truths, but this admin. has been so pitiful, if we didn't laugh at all of Bush's bungles, we would all have to commit suicide to prevent the living another 2 years of this miserable admin and the depths of despair there will be at the end of his administration.

[jeremebp]

Heh. I am glad you do your research before you make yourself look like a grade A genius. Bill Meher IS a stand up comedian who pokes at conservatives, religion, and all those things enlightened people abhor. You don't like it so you flail in the dark. Well done.

[linda254]
