    Actually, I thought he looked more like Chekov from Star Trek :)

    Breeze your're not making sense.

    All I understand is facts. The blue "Democrat controlled" states are imploding into a 1970s style decline of high crime and no jobs:

    "The Supreme Court orders California to release more than 30,000 inmates from state prisons to reduce dangerous overcrowding.

    The governor's office estimates that in 2011 about 11.2 percent of individuals incarcerated in California prisons are illegal aliens (18,300 inmates).

    In 2009, some 39.3 percent of inmates were Hispanic, 29 percent African American and 25.6 percent Caucasian. It is interesting to note that incarceration totals for African Americans and Caucasians are dropping."

    "Home Sales fell 0.8 percent in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.05 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That's far below the 6 million homes a year that economists say represents a healthy market."

    If you say that about Obama it is "racist"

    But it's o.k. to say that Bush looks like a monkey.

    With Obama you were referring to physical attribute which is wrong but with Bush you are referring to mental state which is right. Black people are not monkeys but Bush is as smart or capable as a monkey.

    Oh please. You are trying to say that this picture, and the dozens of others just like it

    [​IMG]

    which compare facial expressions of Bush to the facial expressions of a monkey are not trying to compare the physical attributes of Bush to those of a monkey?



    The rest of your post I agree with. The chimp photos are completely racist, iIF they contain a black person(Obama), otherwise, they are perfectly acceptable. Marilyn Davenport got her ass handed to her for putting out the Obama picture(which does look like Chekov from Star Trek!).


    In that spirit, large contributions and promises of votes from Unions to political candidates are perfectly acceptable, otherwise they are "special interest groups" tampering with the results of fair and free elections. Exemptions to Obamacare taxes on the "Cadillac" Union health plans are helping the small guy out, while any other exemptions are considered political payolas. Fox News is a propaganda outfit, while the rest of the left leaning media preaches the gospel. Oh, and it is perfectly legitimate for an anchor from a major network to refer to a female opinion journalist from a competing network as a "Slut" without a shred of evidence to back such a slur, but if an anchor from the competing network were to refer to a female journalist from his own network as a "dyke"(which she is), somebody would be losing a job.

    Exactly. In Bush case, the facial expression similarity is only the result of mental equivalency.

    I find it rather interesting that anyone would be comparing the mental state of the most intelligent primate in existence to that of GWB. It's blatantly obvious that the illustration above was meant to mimic facial expressions. Personally I would consider being compared to a chimp in terms of intelligence as a compliment vs. say something like a worm, Afghan Hound, or goldfish - which have a 3 second memory.

    I'd be willing to bet I could find a picture of a dolphin, elephant, or even a rat that had a similar express to the above. Each one ranks in the top 5 along with the chimp in terms of intelligence.

    With regards to Obama, I think using a gorilla or ape vs. a chimp is not meant to be racist but rather indicative of the difference in intelligence levels. Ape have a bigger brain, but are by no means near as intelligent as the chimpanzee. The same can be said of Obama vs. Bush.

    I always compare your intelligence level to a chimp, the only problem is that you always come in second place as it is evident by your posts in the beginning of this thread.

    "Right now, Obama's ahead of where Reagan was in '83."


    The Administration continues on-track for the 2012 elections.

    Facts, like time bogart are fleeting to the consequential outcomes that become History. No facts supervene the history that created the 07-09 Republican Recession or Contrived Invasion of Iraqi. The 08 elections and the economic chaos caused by the previous Administration coincide to the present day by their own volition irregardless the previous events that may have caused them.

    Yep, all about getting re-elected. Nothing about leading a nation.

    He's gonna go down in history as the selfish president.

    Not at all. You can have all the glory of being compared to a chimp when it comes to intelligence. I can understand that this is a step upward for you.

    Since Breeze Wood will say : "We are in good hands.", I will say: "Look at history". If you still believe
    we are in good hands after doing that, you are wishing against the inevitable.
