Goodbody remind anyone of a certain President??



Not to put too fine a point on it, but doesn't Goodbody's "frat boy" warrior strike any of you as a fore-runner of GWB?

Oh my no! Given his incompetance and vapid stupidity, he reminds me of BHO.

CUT blurted: Oh my no! Given his incompetance and vapid stupidity, he reminds me of BHO.

Fail.

No great fan of BHO, but please. Your own words, "vapid stupidty and incompetence" are possibly the most succint and accurate description of W that I have ever seen or heard...perhaps you were being sardonic, God I hope so.

reply

BHO has been a tad disappointing for many of us good liberals, but, please, he is certainly not incompetent! In my lifetime (I was born during the waning days of Ike), W is the only prez who was clearly completely unqualified for the job,tho' one can make the case for Reagan, esp. his 2nd, Alzheimer's term.

At any rate, I look forward to seeing this film again tonight, in the wee hours, on TCM--the best channel on cable by a wide margin, including HBO.

LOL!

I'd put up GWB's IQ scores and college transcripts up against BHO's any day; and win big money in the process!

"Community organizer" indeed..................

Sorry, but BHO = FAIL.

trf100:

Oh,please---Dubya barely graduated from Yale with a C--he's living proof that having a college degree dosen't always make you smart--especially since he was just a rich boy who partied hard all the way through college,according to Kitty Kelley's book THE BUSHES,and got by because his grandad was a major contributor. Mr. Obama didn't have that option,BTW,as you well know. Unless you actually got your hands on some actual grade transcripts of Bush, I seriously doubt if they could even hold a candle to BO's. and I've been a part-time volunteer community organizer for some years now, plus you clearly don't know what the hell we do, and I don't appreciate the insults on CO's in the wake of BO's term,so shut the hell up,read the link, and learn something. Here's what community organizers are and really do:

I'm not a huge fan of "W" because he spent money too much money. But Obama has spent "stupidly". By the way, how would we know what Obama's grades were? His "open and transparent" regime has been anything but. Closing Gitmo down? They had total control over the house the senate AND the White House. We are just now getting out of Iraq (I'll believe it when I see it) and we are saddled with a bogus and crippling health care system that is putting millions of people out of work. Clinton would have been a better choice. But to the original poster, Goodbody at least had the guts to serve his country and did it more competently than Obama is running this country.

BHO makes Goodbody look like a genius and a leader among men.

BHO would make Stan Laurel and Lou Costello (as they appeared on film) look like geniuses.
