Rev. Al Sharpton: Contraception Isn't a PR Game; It's a…
Suge Knight Arrested After Cops Find Weed
The mysterious billboard in Wyoming, Minn., with a picture depicting former President George W. Bush asking, "Miss me yet?" has caused quite a stir, with many asking where it came from and what it's supposed to mean.
The ad towers over Interstate 35, which winds through rural Minnesota and features Prez 43 seemingly chuckling as if he were saying, "I told you so." But he really isn't. According to NPR, it turns out the mystery is solved.
The billboard was purchased and placed by a group of local small business owners who feel that Washington "is against them." The whole thing seems to have viral potential too. Already bumper stickers and T-shirts are popping up all over the country. It probably won't be too long before guitar-strummed country songs with the same title and theme pop up all over YouTube a la "Pants on the Ground."
But since the billboard poses a question, I'm happy to answer it: HELL !@#%ing, NO. I DON'T MISS YOU!
Of late everybody seems to be joining the blame Obama chorus perpetuated by the right wing, who incidentally offer no solutions, just bitching sessions. For these folks, the president is wrong, no matter what he does. If it turns out he can walk on water, they'll be pissed at him for exposing clean water to athlete's foot.
The businessmen who brought the ad, in fact, should be able to answer their own question: why would we miss someone who caused the problems we're experiencing in the first place?
Yeah, this country is going through hard times, and there are legitimate complaints about health care, foreign policy and economic policy. But these things were screwed up by the last man on the toilet, not the dude who walked in to a bathroom that hadn't been sprayed with Lysol.
Anyone have a match?
Former Alaska Governor Sarah (the Quitter) Palin asked the Tea Party Convention last weekend "how's that hope-y, change-y stuff workin' out for ya? Then she commenced answering questions from crib notes scrawled on the palm of her hand, like a third grader who had to cheat on a spelling quiz - all to the resounding encouragement of supporters to run for the presidency in 2012.
If this is what the right wing want to bolster as their leadership, then they're going to wind up missing Bush, with his comparatively erudite intelligence, way more then they think.

We don't miss Bush, because he's still in office...just with a tan. These lies about Bush is the only one to blame for this mess is bulls@@t!! Obama, has increased war spending, government spending, and has raised taxes. Bush left office with 800 billion in spending, Obama plans to spend almost 2 trillion dollars and counting. Not to mention the Democrats, not Republicans, have raised the debt ceiling another 1 trillion dollars which will put overall debt at 16 trillion. If every man, woman, and child gave their paycheck to pay the deficit. With interest, it would take 50 years or more just to make a dent, and that does not take into account increased unemployment!! We need to stop this blame game, and realize we are dealing with a government that is out of control and no matter who you want to blame....in the end, you are gonna suffer for it!!

What's baffling to me is that Bush, by far, was one of the worse Presidents ever. When that fact is pointed out, Conservatives start screaming, "let's not look backwards". There were wars going on when Bush was president, now the wars are BO fault. We were in the midst of one of the worse recessions in history, but the deficit and un-employment numbers are BO fault. The bailout was done under Bush but now BO is responsible.
What I an sick of is how progressives and many conservative democrats have allowed the GOP to define every issue in Washington without sufficient push back. Why is Bush always brought up when deficits, un-employment, and wars are mentioned? Maybe it because THEY WERE HIS FAULT!!! He had 8 years to screw it up, without a peep from GOP and now BO has been in office for 1 year and 1 month. MY GOD people....Fight back. The next time someone ask why do we blame Bush for the state of the US just say..We blame him because its his fault.

G swan, why won't you address the fact that although Bush's policies were destructive to America, Why has Obama continued Bush's policies in terms of war spending, bigger govt., and has increased the powers of The Patriot Act. These are all Bush policies. Stop being a fool for this man, simply because he's Black. Can you dispute any of the spending that he is doing which is almost double what Bush spent?

I'm a Conservative but got really tired of Bush ignoring important things like the security of our borders etc, but right now he'd be a Godsend compared to the halfwit in the W.H. now. B.O. is so unpresidential, so ignorant about business, the West Wing is a shrine to him with over 300 pictures of himself (which are changed monthly) and NONE of Americana or former presidents, he is NOT a patriot,etc etc etc etc, ad infinitum. And you dare to criticize Palin for writing a few words on the palm of her hand when B.O. cannot make a speech of more than 3 words without a teleprompter!! He is so ignorant & contemptuous of the military that several times he pronounced
the word corpsman the way it's spelled!!! He & his wife both have such un-American radical ideas AND associations, and when either of them says he (she) loves this country, the words are absolutely empty, meaningless simply because THEY DO NOT!!!

You're reaching. Stop. The mental gymnastics you have to do just to justify that mess to yourself must be exhausting. Stop. You're making me dizzy. Oh, and go read something while you're at it. Thank you.

There isn't a Bush Blame Game. It's just the "Bush" truth. This country didn't go downhill over night...or in a year. It has been slowly going downhill for 8 years and the "Bush" administration ignored it and now Republicans whine and throw stones when it's mentioned. The Republican agenda caused this mess and if they were a truthful party they would stand up and admit to it. It really P's me off when people, or let me put it out there, Republicans, want to pretend that everything that is going wrong now just magically occurred. Be Real. We're in this mess becasue of the 8 year decision making of Republicans. American may want to have selected memories, but if they put Republican back in power ... I hate to think of what will happen.
If not for Obama we would be in a depression WORST than the Great Depression. AND if any one thinks that the Republicans can do a better job then you definitely put the "upid" in "stupid". Republican whine like colicky little babies and have NO answers to any of our pressing problem. Unless, you think giving major corporation tax cuts will solve our problems.

It's amazing people like you repeat the same lines heard on "Black talk radio" What you need to do Claudettew25 is stop listening and start reading. Get the facts before you comment on something thats way over your head. Pull your head out of Obama's azz and focus!!Visit your local library and get some books about deficit spending!!!
