Swiss Neutrality? George W. Bush Cancels Trip to Switzerland … Threat of Protests & Arrest on War Crimes

So much for Swiss neutrality and sanity.

Former President George W. Bush has canceled his trip to Switzerland where he was to give the keynote address at a Jewish group’s charity gala on February 12 in Geneva. As reported at The Hill, GWB canceled because of expected protests and the treat of possible arrest on war crimes allegations. So much for the rules of diplomatic immunity. It is simply amazing just how whacked out these European countries have become. As Weasel Zippers stated, because those Swiss folks are certainly known for their rational protests, like the bare naked ladies moonbats protesting global warming in their birthday suits.

President George W. Bush has canceled an event in the famously neutral country Switzerland because of expected protests to his presence there.

Bush was supposed to give the keynote address at a Jewish group’s charity gala on Feb. 12 in Geneva.

Leftist groups had planned to protest the visit, according to news agencies. But several human rights groups had also filed criminal complaints against Bush, demanding that he be taken into custody if he stepped on Swiss soil and investigated for allegations of ordering torture.

A right-wing member of the Swiss parliament also demanded last week Bush’s arrest on war crimes allegations if he came to the country, according to Reuters.

Honestly, it is too bad that Bush did not go through with the trip and speak at the event. How would not have liked to have seen Swiss authorities attempt to arrest a former US President? It would have almost have been worth the dare.  I wonder how many Swizz lives have been saved over the years due to interrogation? What the heck happened to Switzerland?

Good Grief, National Debt over $4,000,000,000 … How Did Obama Used to Feel about Debt Ceiling?

UNREAL, the National Debt has now passed the $14 trillion mark for the first time ever. In just 7 months, the National Debt as increased from $13 trillion on June 1, 2010 to $14 trillion on Dec. 31. Good grief. And as Weasel Zippers preemptively respond to Obama and his Democrat minions, No, this isn’t Bush’s fault.

The latest posting today of the National Debt shows it has topped $14 trillion for the first time.

The U.S. Treasury website today reported that as of last Friday, the last day of 2010, the National Debt stood at $14,025,215,218,708.52.

It took just 7 months for the National Debt to increase from $13 trillion on June 1, 2010 to $14 trillion on Dec. 31. It also means the debt is fast approaching the statutory ceiling $14.294 trillion set by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last February.

The federal government would have to stop borrowing and might even default on its obligations if Congress fails to increase the Debt Ceiling before the limit is reached.

Some Republicans in the new Congress have said they’ll seek to block an increase in the Debt Ceiling unless a plan is in place to significantly reduce federal spending and unfunded government liabilities on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee warned yesterday.

However, as reported at the NRO President Obama’s economic advisor Austin Goolsbee argued  that a refusal by the Senate to increase the government’s debt ceiling would be “catastrophic” and a sign of “insanity.” Hmm, intertingly enough that’s not the position the Obama had in the past. 

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. (Obama’s thoughts on the debt limit in 2006, when he voted against increasing the ceiling)

 Funny how Obama does a 180 when he is in power.

Year Two of Obamanation: Barack Obama’s Approval Rating = GWB’s in Year 5 of Presidency

Barack Hussein Obama likes to blame all the ills of his Administration on former President George W. Bush. Does Obama blame his poor job approval ratings on GWB as well? Presently according to Gallup, Obama has a 42% approval rating and a 49% disapproval.

How bad has Obama been as President? It took Barack Obama only two years to reach an approval level of GWB in the 5th year of being President. One has to try in order to accomplish such poor poll numbers so fast.

Wonder why there are some Democrats who do not want Obama to run in 2012? However, it would also appear from the rhetoric from Barack Obama that he in no way understands the will of the people from their votes in the 2012 midterm election.

Thunderous Ovation for GWB & GHWB at World Series Game 4 as “W” Throws a Strike … While Obama Speaks to Half Empty Crowd

MISS THEM YET AMERICA … WHAT A MOMENT TONIGHT IN TEXAS.

Father, son and baseball … it does not get any more American than that. Tonight at the MLB World Series in Texas, George W. Bush (43) and George H.W. Bush (41) entered the ballpark to thunderous applause to throw out the first pitch. The crowd kept on cheering. America, remember what it feels like to genuinely feel good about a moment that is not spin or about so-called promises of hope and change?

Check out the fast ball from “W”! I had to chuckle when I heard Nolan Ryan ask the President whether he wanted him behind the plate or not. GWB’s response was, oh yea, that’s fine like of course, what else is there, hahaha.

Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

Who would have thought in less than two years that we would miss GWB? However, Obama’s policies and liberal/socialist agenda have made many long for the days. One thing you never heard for GWB was blaming Clinton for anything, even though we were in the midst of an economic downturn, dot com bubble disaster and corporate scandals following the 8 year of Bill Clinton. Bush never played the blame game.

Remember Barack Hussein Obama’s pathetic first pitches? Who could forget the lameness.

On the campaign trail, Obama’s final pre-election rally ended with a thud. I guess one could say, that Obama came “in like  Liar and out like a lamb”.  

Interestingly enough, today Barack Obama spoke to a half empty audience in Ohio. Obama and Biden failed to pack the arena at the event billed as the final one in a series of “Moving America Forward” rallies aimed at ginning up enthusiasm for Democrats. Oops! I guess we can see how enthused Democrats are with Obama in Ohio where unemployment and the economic down turn has devastated Ohioans. I guess we know why Republicans Bob Portman is running away with the Ohio US Senate race and John Kasich is the odds on favorite to become Ohio’s next Governor.

Where have all the people gone Mr. President?

The arena where President Obama and Vice President Biden are making their final appeal to Democrats to get out and vote in Tuesday’s midterm elections was far from capacity Sunday afternoon.

The crowd estimate stands at 8,000 in the arena that seats just over 13,000and a couple thousand empty seats are visible above the stage where Obama and Biden rallied supporters.

The NY Times state run media noticed the lack of presence of individuals but decided to take the company line of lies and spin. By the way, Cleveland State has about an enrollment of 16,000 students, the Cleveland Browns had a bye week so there was no football and Democrats going to church, really?

About 8,000 people attended the Democratic National Committee’s Moving America Forward’ rally at Cleveland State University’sWolstein Center, a hall where the capacity is 13,000. The rafters were largely empty.

Organizers noted the president was competing on a Sunday afternoon with church, football and Halloween.
