What did Bush say at Olsen Fundraiser?
The President’s folks didn’t let the press in, but we got some exclusive video of POTUS talking up a storm at Pete Olson’s fundraiser on July 18th. Click and take a look. transcript below the video.
It is uncertain, there’s no question about it.
Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.
And now we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today. (laugher.. Crawford!)
I like Crawford, unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker. She’ll be deciding, thanks for the suggestion! I suggest you don’t yell it out when she’s here. Later, telling her “Hey honey, we’ve been on government pay now for 14 years… so go slow!”
It’s uh.. caused me to lose my train of thought. Anyway. Read on…
If Wall St. got drunk, George Bush and the GOP were the bartenders. In most states, if a bartender feeds too much alcohol to a customer and it ends in tragedy they can be held liable. Our leadless fearer and his party should be held to the same standards, but we live in Bushworld and it will never happen. So, Pickles was house shopping in Dallas, eh? Interesting…
Update: Did Bush’s Drunk remarks cause him to back down from his promised veto of the Housing bill?
Take the AOL Hot Seat Poll:
President Bush dropped his opposition Wednesday to legislation aiming to calm the chaotic housing market despite his objections to a $3.9 billion provision. The House was expected to vote on the bill Wednesday, and it could become law as early as this week.
Under the bill, the government would help struggling homeowners get new, cheaper loans and would be allowed to offer troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a cash infusion.
White House press secretary Dana Perino announced Bush’s switch in a telephone conference call with reporters. “We believe this is not the time for a prolonged veto fight but we are confident the president would prevail in one,” she said.

No Trackbacks To “Secret Fundraiser Video: Bush Says Wall St. Got Drunk, Now Hung Over“
Shouldn’t “Pickles” be shopping for a new home in Paraguay?
Bush Says Wall St. Got Drunk, Now he’s (bush) Hung Over
ouch… video was pulled… that was incredibly quick
“wall street got drunk….”
is bush *gasp* hinting around that an unrestrained market is detrimental to not only the populace but to also the markets themselves?
video?
Well condescending chimp boy would know about getting drunk and fucking up I suppose ……..
The Golem @ 3:
Just what I was thinking.
…And the WH got drunk with power and the whole country is gonna have one bad hangover by the time these thugs are finished.
Dallas’ loss is Crawfords gain. Apparently he doesn’t have to pretend to be a cowboy anymore.
What kind of comment is this? When the DOW was above 14,000, herr dubyah was patting himself on the back and claiming he is king, conquerer, and savior. Now that the economy has completed flushed down the toilet, herr dubyah is blaming his past drinking problems on others? Jebus….what….an….arshole.
The video is still at the abc13 link.
The quicker these yahoos get out of our county, the better!
Here’s the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXj4-PFuMLc
If Wall Street got drunk, it’s because Bush supplied them with the booze. Most of the banking and investment concerns are from New York State, and while these guys were offering predatory and usurious loan packages, Bush ordered the State of New York not to enforce its consumer protection laws. Those laws, if enforced would have prevented much of the problems we are seeing today. For all we know, he did a similar action against Deleware and other states.
What a scumbag.
They had a fund raiser?

Funny, they still look too young for Folger’s coffee.
Here’s a link to the video.
BTW, the rumor about Pickles is that she has moved out, has filed for divorce and is demanding $20 million. Grounds: an abusive alcoholic.
isn’t it nice to see the “haves and the have mores” yucking it up. why is evryone elses suffering so funny to this man and his supporters.
the viseo can be seen at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21.....7#25811157
it is also very nice to see david gregory and what’s her name find it amusing as well.
The man is a laugh riot.

It’s marked as ‘private’.
Message control seems to be the repub motto for the week, isn’t working, but they are giving it a good try in a fiasco kid of way. Good thing that there is a hurricane hitting the Texas coast or else the MSM might have to talk about these things instead.
I just don’t think I can read one more article about yet another dumya and company crime and how they’re all going to walk away laughing with money falling out of their pockets when their term is up… if it ever actually ends.
I get it. They’re evil, they’re greedy and they always win. You know what we need? A second political party! A group that would provide some kind of checks and balances and make them all accountable. Hey I know it sounds crazy but I can dream can’t I?
Paul @ 16:
So, she is looking for a house for herself, maybe? And W and Condi get to keep the “ranch”?
Being from Dallas, I’d say Crawford’s what boosh deserves

fother mucker!

Bush and Cheney are drinking buddies with Wall Street! They all got drunk together!
.
………………fancy financial instruments……………….
My president is a retard :-(
How is it possible that the president can order a state not to follow its own laws?

I M P E A C H
B U S H…
… for Blowing the Job!

Finally George Bush speaks up on something he knows about, getting drunk and having a hangover. If only we could sleep off the last six mounths of his term.
I guess the pretend cowboy is ready to ride into the sunset and leave the ranch behind. I’m not sure what he means about wall street getting drunk. What they got was criminal and he sat there and watched it happen.
Does anyone have a copy or a link to one ? You tube better get out of the politics business if they caused its removal!
Time for some nice harsh freedom of speech legislation to give US access to every piece of information available.
We need the ability as citizens to spy on all politicians and businessman. They exist because of our good graces.
Sorry, I could not bring myself to watch a video of that blathering sociopathic idiot.
I’m reasonably certain that he is either lying, shifting blame or making no sense whatsoever. If he actually decides to step down in January, he will go home to Texass and live untroubled off of his war and oil profits. End of story. You know that this is true.
“Wall Street got drunk….” takes one to know one….as they say!

That’s one of the best yet!
maybe i’m losing my sense of humor. i’m fxxking sick
and tired of this guy….i didn’t vote for him and i have never trusted him….to me the secrecy issue made me
suspicious. i just don’t respect this guy……people want to
blame the congress…there some blame there….this is the guy to blame….bush is the one who has vetoed the
congress wanting to get out of iraq during the last 18 months.
What a card. What a maroon.
That Chimpy sure knows how to bring down the house. I’d sure love to have a beer with him!
I didn’t know Blackwater had a compound in Dallas.
Embittered & Anti-Republicrat - Max-Hussein-1 @ 24:
Hell yes, Wall Street always brings a shitload of blow to the party!
Sweet jebus on crack, I hate that man.
Um…go slow? On government pay? The man made almost a million dollars last year and he’s already worth millions. Sorry for her sacrifice the past 14 years…at least now that George has given up golf they are both on par.
If Wall Street is drunk, Bush is on crack.
“Wall St. got drunk” is not such a big scandalous comment.
What struck me is how he whines about wifey looking for a house. It got a laugh, but how pathetic can you get?
Reading between the lines, I wonder if Bush’s investment portfolio has taken a bath. Why else would he give a shit about the financial markets? And why would he joke about not being able to afford a new house? He made $15 million from his share of the Texas Rangers. That was 10 years ago, so he should have at least doubled it by now if the money was invested conservatively. Or maybe Bush has taken a bath along with millions of other investors.
Might be why he talks about the need to “replenish the old coffers” after he leaves office.
Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.
“how long will it [take to] sober up”…
this is code for ‘let the market work this out by themselves’… and it is a bald-faced lie, as we pay for their failure.
the govt has socialized the losses–that we, as taxpayers, have to pay for, despite the majority of us that have NOTHING to do with this travesty. the old cliche ‘privatize the profits and socialize the risk’ has never been more true.
it is funny to watch the market fundies scamper like roaches when their (il)logic is thrown back in their faces. if they held true to their view that the market is all-knowing and all-powerful, then they would advocate letting bear stearns, freddie/fannie, etc. fail, and suffer the consequence–as they knew the risks, they tried to profit, and they got burnt.
instead, they advocate a govt bailout.
ah, sweet, sweet hypocrisy.

==================================
What a frikkin’ wordsmith this guy is.
Typical: The Chimpster doesn’t have the guts to face the music and tell the American public how bad things really are. But hey — let’s get in a room with a bunch of Republican Die-Hards, turn those pesky cameras off and let’s have a big ol’ chuckle as to how bad things are screwed up.
#15: I followed your link to the original broadcast and there are a lot of Bushbots in the comments section boo-hooing about how the person who shot the video had violated the President’s right to privacy, as though he hadn’t just spent the past several years doing just that to the electorate. I love the smell of hypocricy in the morning.
Astro @ 45:
i prefer the white knuckle dry drunk financial instrument…like WorldCom or Enron. Back then you could say you were effed by the first, and best. no sloppy seconds.
a-hole.
outtheoffice @ 26:
Why do you have to go and insult retarded Americans? What did they ever do to you that you would associate these outstanding Americans with the pathetic likes of George W. Bush? An apology is in order.
liberalNmoderation @ 46:
Uh…meant to say….the preznit is supposed to be a public servant. therefore his punk ass should have no right to privacy whilst on the clock.

Is fucktard acceptable?
