Boomer with Attitude / News Dubya's kiss of death
Posted By John Grooms on Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Disaster struck the Obama administration yesterday, yet few have noticed it as of this morning.
It happened in Canada, where former President George W. Bush had come to Calgary to give a speech. Bush discussed the new President and uttered the words no one who supports Obama wanted to hear: he wants Obama to succeed.
Simultaneously with Bush's statement, the skies behind him turned dark and lightning was seen flashing through the clouds.
It was over; Obama was officially toast. Bush's history as the "Man With The Reverse Midas Touch" — known in cruder circles as "The Guy Who Turns Everything He Touches To Crap" — is well known. Bush also wanted to be as smart as his brother Jeb; he wanted all his failed businesses in Texas to succeed; he wanted the Texas Rangers to win; he wanted to finish reading The Pet Goat; he wanted to catch Osama bin Laden; he wanted a swift victory in Iraq; he wanted Europe to kiss his butt; and he would have wanted Katrina to avoid New Orleans, if only he'd known about it. In other words, yesterday's admission that Bush now wants Obama to succeed was, alas, the dreaded Kiss of Death. [Just look what he did to Sen. John McCain:]
Well, it was nice while it lasted, it's just too bad Obama doesn't stand a chance anymore.
