I survived the ___ Presidency
December 10th, 2008Every time there’s a new President, we outta get t-shirts that we say survived the previous Presidency. I’m telling you, they just seem to get either more corrupt or more stupid (or both) every election. I’m thinking it can’t possibly be worse than GWB, right? Well, we’ll see what Barack O Bummer will bring us. We know he won’t exactly be a defender of the Constitution to start with. As for fixing the previous guy’s economic mess, good luck. I actually feel sorry for the guy in that respect.
Here are some ideas:
I survived the Lyndon “How Many Kids Did You Kill Today?” Johnson Presidency
I survived the Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon Presidency
I survived the Gerald “Watch Your Step” Ford Presidency
I survived the Jimmy “There Goes the Dollar” Carter Presidency
I survived the Ronald “What Was I Supposed to Say?” Reagan Presidency
I survived the George “When My Lips Move I’m Lying” Bush Presidency
I survived the Bill “Slick Willy” Clinton Presidency
I survived the George “There Goes My Job AND My 401k” Bush Presidency
Believe me, it was tempting to call Ford’s Presidency “I’m Going to Hell Because I Pardoned Nixon” but “Watch Your Step” just seemed funnier for those old enough to remember the reference. Same with Jimmy “There Goes the Panama Canal” Carter. Oh, and thanks Bo for another certain Presidency. I’m still laughing at that picture. That was the funniest thing I’ve seen all month (besides one of our neighbors stepping in doggie doo).
Now, I don’t care how you stand on the auto bailout. I have my opinion, you have yours. But the one thing I keep hearing is that Detroit doesn’t put out good cars and that’s why they’re not making any money. That’s a load of horsie manure.
I have the latest Consumer Reports issue and Ford cars were neck and neck with the Japs. German cars lagged, but were catching up to American cars. Then Kathleen showed me the JD Power and Associates ratings and they rank American cars actually higher than the Japs (with of course the German cars found on the road dead).
Hey, I like Krauts, I like their food, their beer, the Scorpions, Rammstein, cleavage in St. Pauli’s Girl commercials, and all that other good stuff, nothing against them, but their cars suck. Don’t take my word for it though, read the ratings. Oh, and Das Boat really wasn’t that good of a movie. Sorry, but it wasn’t.
I could go on and on about American cars - I’ve owned nothing but and unless you drive a truck for a living, I’ve probably driven more miles than you. They last forever if you buy the right model (like I always say, read Consumer Reports before you buy ANYTHING) and do regular maintenance, the thing will last you for a very long time.
there is not enough room on a t-shirt to list all the things dubya has screwed up.
Lime - That’s for sure. It was hard to put one phrase to it. I decided to keep it to economics, even though there was much to complain about.
i realize it was especially challenging to limit yourself with bush.
i survived the george “trampling of the constitution, gigantic expansion of the federal government, abuse of executive power but i’m really just a puppet cuz i’m the one child what done got left behind so i had a temper tantrum and started a couple of wars” bush presidency.
howzat?
Excellent.
I just remember that President puking on the dude and that other President saying she didn’t swallow and the President soon to be out can’t read a Dr. Seuss book. Is he special needs or what? That’s the new politically correct word.
And I do like American cars better. The old cars. I like the old American cars that have metal in them. I love the Cadillac.
come by and play someone else won there third week.
Kate - That was very nice.
Is there another bonus for someone who wins four times?
As for the puking, yes, that was George HW Bush throwing up on the Japanese Prime Minister.
right on, zom!
I want Lime’s George W. Bush t-shirt. That’s brilliant.
Thanks, ZS. I got tired of beating a dead horse. Great column at the Freep today.
I want a shirt that says: I survived “trickle down economics”…so far!”
kate, clinton didn’t inhale….it was monica who didn’t swallow…close but no cigar…..lol…sorry, i just couldn’t resist.
Taking a flip side to this I can almost come up and say something good about all the previous presidents, but I admit some of the stuff would be minor. Please understand I mean that about presidents of both parties but in the case of George W. Bush there is not a single thing that I can come up with that would even be remotely nice.
As for swearing, I tried myself to cut it all out but with a wife, teenage son, and a daughter who thinks she is a teenager it just didn’t work worth a damn.
I survived the George “finger up my nose and thumb up my ass” Bush presidency. hehe
I really don’t have an excuse now because I don’t work on cars any more and I’m not fishing.
Yeah, but do ever wear wife-beaters or watch televised sporting events? ‘Cause both of those things can contribute to involuntary cussing.
SME - Nah. I think a guy should have his armpit hair covered. That’s not exactly what I want to see, especially when I’m eating. Don’t have a tv either.
Slade - I think we need a slogan competition for GWB’s Presidency.
Beach - I can actually think of three things I liked about Bush:
1) cut taxes,
2) Bolton to the UN. Bolton was for spending wisely, which is the exact opposite of what the UN does,
3) John Roberts to the Supreme Court.
But yes, he’s the worst President since Carter (heh, hope Kathleen didn’t get pissed at me for saying this because she likes Carter).
Lime -
Tshsmom - I’ve always called it “trickled-on economics.”
Kathleen - ‘Tis.
Funny how they mentioned the donations American car companies put out. The European car companies donated a big fat zero to our relief efforts.
Laughingwolf - Thanks.
I like American Cars too. I am not sure what our Chrysler is but I like it.. LOL.. Now on to the top part of this post.
I lived was born 1977 so who ever was President then..
The Ragen in the early 80’s.
I dont remember is he ran two terms or not..
Then Bush Sr, Clinton, and Bush Jr and there is one one more in there I think and now Barak.. Yikes..
Ha, I’m glad at least one guy has it figured out that armpit hair isn’t really all that attractive! At least not in a if-you’ve-got-it-flaunt-it way. ;D
We agree on everything but the cars, Zombieslayer, and my attitude is based on the cars I’ve owned (or vice versa). Glad yours are working well tho! Maybe having an employee order number got us (me and the ex) some special treatment?
p.s. what the Q#$@%^^@& is wrong with swearing??
Heehee…trickled-on. Sorta like pissed on, right? (OOps, does that count as swearing?)
I still say Bush is WAY worse than Jimmy Carter (whom I still love).
Amen on the armpit hair!! That’s just disgusting. I have a friend who actually used to make her boyfriend trim any that would show.
I’m still preaching to the choir, BTW.
