Yes. All true. If you're asking why he made the latter two comments, given his oath, it's because the oath is meaningless to him.





Even disregarding just those comments, his continued and wanton violations of constitutional requirements shows that he has no respect for the document, or the values that it stands for.





I see so many people advocating for a law against burning the flag. But they don't seem to be objecting to an elected official defecating on the constitution.





Odd.
Reply:Its amazing what people will post as a criticism w/o posting context. Considering the media apparent willingness to doctor photos... why this is just the previous step... the medias been quoting out of context for years and has raised such practices to an artform.


Bet you couldn't find such clinton quotes as easily...


I've got a better question, why do leftists like only use the constitution as something to promote your hatred of Bush?
Reply:Quit spreading "Propaganda" crap over the internet, all the "anti-Bush groups will eat it right up!
Reply:If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.

Reply:They must take the oath to become president! It is more than a piece of paper, it's a binding agreement that the president makes to faithfully do his job.


Americans just differ on what they think is the best way to do the job.
Reply:Because its about values and Honor. Somthing this president lacks
Reply:president bush is a puppet of dick cheny. he's just too stupid to realize it.
Reply:That's Bush for ya'. Nothing matters to him except his own interests and what he wants to do. Remember, this is the same guy who invaded Iraq even though the rest of the world (including the U.N.) told him not to.
Reply:George Bush is just a greedy stupid moran and more .But I also want to say go coragryph people should listen to him he knows his facts.
Reply:Because he only cares about the oil and the money and oh did I mention oil. He could give a crap about our nations history or us for that matter. He wants to make our lives hell while lining his and his buddy's pockets with cash. P.S. "tough as hell"-great video.
Reply:The quotes you have stated were probally taken out of context and another thing, dont you think it's a pretty hard job being the president of the U.S.A. and you would have moments when you say something you dont necesarily mean? Cut the guy some slack, Clinton's presidency was a cake walk compared to what Bush has been through.
Reply:Politicians everywhere are only interested in lining their own pockets and the pockets of their friends. You really expect them to take anything they say seriously?
Reply:Oh please, he was kidding. If he wanted to be a dictator so much, then why didn't he come out already with his totaltarisinism?
