"Miss Me Yet" Billboard Pops Up in Minnesota (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, February 8, 2010, 11:06 PM
“Miss me yet?”
Yes.
After President Obama tripled the national deficit in one year and nearly doubled the unemployment number compared to the previous administration’s average, a mysterious George W. Bush billboard popped up in Minnesota off of Interstate 35.
BreitbartTV reported:
Not even bluestate Minnesota is safe for the hopey-changers.
More… President Spend-a-lot’s approval numbers hit a new low today. Just 44% of registered voters approve of Obama’s job as president.
Related… There’s also a mysterious billboard in Missouri that’s getting attention lately.

President Bolshevik to Stephanapolous:
“I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly
to the American people about what their core values are.”
He means telling us what he thinks our core values SHOULD be,
according to him and the Marxists he runs around with.
President Bush knew us. He was one of us.
GrayRider commented:
Hell yeah I miss GW compared to what we’ve got. I could allmost forgive GW for his ‘compassionate’ conservatism and his ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ (amnesty) but those insults will linger. But overall, GW is head and shoulders above the Narcissist in Chief occupying the White House.

With this president Jimmy Carter could put up saying that.

It makes a great point, but I don’t want Bush back, no disrespect, but we need REAGAN back. Since we won’t be getting either of those two again, how about concentrating on getting another true Conservative into the next election cycle? RINOs not invited.
James commented:
God bless you President George W. Bush, the greatest president in american history.
S. Wolf commented:
Bush vs. Obama, shifting the blame
“Obama stands apart from his predecessors who similarly took office during sour economic times in his unwillingness to take responsibility for the state of the economy and in his incessant blaming of his immediate predecessor.”
…
According to Bush’s presidential papers, he never once placed blame for the lackluster economy squarely on Bill Clinton’s shoulders or accused his predecessor by name even when supporters pinned blame for the economic downturn on Clinton’s policies.”
…
“Those who knew Bush while in office say he consciously tried to avoid finger pointing.
The current president’s desire to blame Bush also sets him apart from recent Democratic presidents such as Jimmy Carter who specifically refused to point the finger at his Republican predecessors.
During an April 15, 1977, press conference, reporters asked Carter how his economic policies would differ from those of Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, and the president responded quite differently from Obama. Instead, Carter told reporters he “would like to answer the question without criticizing the previous administrations, Mr. Ford or Nixon.”
Wehner said Obama’s refusal to follow Carter’s example stands as a tacit admission the current president is over his head.
“They’re really not up to the task of governing, so they are in a search for excuses,” he said.”
The boy Won-der is in way over his head.

Ahhh, yes. My beloved Minnesota. I live in the Twin Cities and cringe whenever MN votes Democratic. I would use Al Franken as an example, but we didn’t vote him into office. We were ACORNed.
But conservatives are popping up all over. I have personally seen a change in one friend from Lib to Conservative just by making her watch FOXNEWS!
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Excuse me, but “JUST 44 percent”?
As if 44% is a low figure?!
I would be appalled if 4 out of 10 of my fellow Americans actually APPROVED of what’s been happening these past 12 months!
I don’t believe it for a minute. My guess is this poll is not worth the paper it’s printed on.
Elly commented:
Hahaa that’s priceless ~ yes, I do miss him.
Bill Mitchell commented:
GALLUP CONTINUES TO CARRY OBAMA’S WATER:
You have to think that Gallup polls the same way the White House calculates unemployment.
Just as Obama’s Approval ratings on the economy and the deficit hit rock bottom low 30′s approval, his overall approval ratings surge to 51%.
Now how the hell do about 35% of Americans approve of your handling of the nation’s most important issue (by far), and yet over 50% approve of the job you are doing?
It’s kinda like unemployment dropping to 9.7% when we lost jobs.
sliderblaze commented:
Bill, i’d go as far to say it’s EXACTLY like it. lol
squeaky commented:
could be the 50% support is just window dressing. allows you to disagree with his handling of important issues while shielding you from being called racist. spending 2 plus years accusing anyone who didn’t support obama as being racist and then finding yourself in that position. can’t be racist cuz’ you like him…… and just how far down the road do they want to go with this guy – over the cliff?

The only thing that would be better is to have another billboard 200 yards further on with a big picture of Obama saying, “YES!”
Evelyn commented:
In a word “YES”.
Mark @ Israel commented:
The billboard is really funny and this should send a warning signal to Obama. Yet, he is somehow not alarmed with billboards like this showing up and the low approval of the citizenry. What else will awaken him?
myna commented:
If you got a slow learner president, you definitely missed a serious guy to run the country.

Bush was a moderate but I voted for him 4 times. twice as Gov. and twice as Pres. He sucked at keeping fiscal policy in control but at least he kept us safe and love America. Obama just loves himself.
Peggy commented:
Yes!
Pat the First commented:
I remember when President Bush was finally in the WH I felt much safer than I had during the prior 8 years (little did I know that Slick Willy had left him a little hidden problem that turned into 9/11). Now, I feel even less safe than I did during the Slick Willy years. It is bad when you look back at those years in the 1990s and realize how much safer you were even then.

Bush and Obama are controlled by the same GLOBALIST international bankers who hate the USA. Duh!

This is bg’s must-read post containing three links to articles about the discovery of actual al-Qaeda plans to re-enact the Beslan schoolchildren massacre here in the United States.
I am a mother. I have schoolchildren. I honestly believe that George W. Bush would have given his own life, if it came to that, to save my children from terrorists.
Is there even one single person in this country who believes that Barack Obama would do the same?

Exactly.
I’m not old enough to even remember Bush’s father– I missed voting for him the first time, but waited until I was pretty sure he’d win before I signed up to the Navy.
If I ever got a chance, I’d love to be able to tell him that I’m proud to have worked for him.
GrayRider commented:
Avery, don’t believe a word from Obama and Nappy that they have secured the border so now they can pull money back from border security. Just take a look at this recent video:
Obama Girl DHS Secretary Napolitano has said that the border is secure…she lies – NEW VIDEO – Illegal Alien Border Crossings with Guns and Drugs
NEW VIDEO – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGZoOKBEggI&feature=player_embedded
This game camera was set up by the Minutemen along the Southwest border. The first video captures two illegal aliens armed with rifles and scopes. The next video captures illegal alien drug mules who are carrying backpacks filled with marijuana. The black jugs filled with water help them hide at night time. The final video captures an illegal alien carrying a MAC-10 machine gun.

flashback to 8/09:
It’s not over until it’s over
[According to John Brennan, head of the White House's homeland security office, the war on terrorism is over. From now on, the administration will never use terms like "jihadists" and "global war" because doing so, as Mr. Brennan said, "risks giving these murderers the religious legitimacy they desperately seek but in no way deserve." He insisted that the U.S. is at "war with al Qaeda" ("U.S. no longer at war with 'terrorism' ," Page 1, Friday).
Could we be more blind? Acts of terror are rooted in the aspirations of Islamists to create an Islamic state and impose their version of Shariah law.]
flashforward to 2/10
Bush Was Right, Says Obama
[This weekend, Americans were treated to something new: Barack
Obama defending his war policies by suggesting they merely continue
his predecessor's practices. The defense is illuminating, not least for its implicit recognition that George W. Bush has more credibility on fighting terrorists than does the sitting president.
[..]
Leave aside, for just a moment, the substance. Far more arresting is that Mr. Obama now defends himself by invoking a man he has spent the past year blaming for al Qaeda’s growth. You know—all those Niebuhrian speeches about how America had gone “off course,” “shown arrogance and been dismissive,” and “made decisions based on fear rather than foresight,” thus handing al Qaeda a valuable recruiting tool.
[..]
Like Mr. Obama, Mr. Brennan was singing a different tune this weekend. On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” a testy Mr. Brennan defended the decision that allowed Christmas bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to lawyer up by invoking—you guessed it—the Bush administration. Mr. Brennan claimed the process for reading Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights was “the same process that we have used for every other terrorist who has been captured on our soil.” The FBI, he asserted, was simply following guidelines put in place by Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasey.
Mr. Mukasey begs to differ. “First, the guidelines Mr. Brennan refers to involve intelligence gathering,” he told me. “They do not deal with whether someone in custody is to be treated as a criminal defendant or as an intelligence asset.”
“Second, as for gathering intelligence, it begs the whole question about whether he [Abdulmutallab] should have been designated a criminal suspect. And there is nothing—zero, zilch, nada—in those guidelines that makes that choice. It is a decision that ought to be made at the highest level, and the heads of our security agencies have testified that it was made without consulting them.”
Ditto for the “190 folks” Mr. Obama invoked in his interview with Ms. Couric. The figure comes from a report by Human Rights First (they actually claim 195), which ransacked the federal files to find any cases even remotely connected with terrorism. Most charges, the report concedes, involve not acts of terrorism but charges of material support. These 190 men and women may be guilty of bad things, but to suggest they are comparable with KSM is highly misleading.]

With the threats, mainly terrorists, currently facing this nation, the KSM trials, GITMO, CAIR, Iran nuking up, and so on, this is not the time for this country to have an unqualified man-boy in the WH.
As for missing Bush, yep, I do. I’d rather have any of the former presidents of my lifetime than Obamao, because, unlike him, they all loved this country. The only former president who might not would be any better at this time is Carter, because he was b*tch-slapped by the Iranians so badly back then and last year showed support for Hamas (or was it Hezbollah), and is a not-so-closeted anti-Semite, none of which would be good in the WH, except to AlQueda.

After a year of this total failure, how could you not miss President Bush. However, I don’t want him back … I want the next Reagan.
DGB commented:
LMAO at you clueless people who, unfortunately for you, honestly believe that GW Bush was a good President. Under his watch, we suffered a terrorist attack (he was in office for 9 months, long enough to take responsibility for the attacks); massive deficits (not including the cost of the Iraq and Afghan wars); passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug Act by the Republican-led Congress that was lied to about the cost of the program (“the ten-year cost estimate was boosted to $534 billion, up more than $100 billion over the figure presented by the Bush administration during Congressional debate. The inaccurate figure helped secure support from fiscally conservative Republicans who had promised to vote against the bill if it cost more than $400 billion. It was reported that an administration official, Thomas A. Scully, had concealed the higher estimate and threatened to fire Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster if he revealed it. By early 2005, the White House Budget had increased the 10-year estimate to $1.2 trillion”); the loss of lives and limbs of thousands of US soldiers needlessly because we did not have the right equipment to fight a guerrilla war in Iraq, despite the President being warned many times before we went in about the prospect of such warfare; were embarrassed by the government’s disgraceful response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans although the President stupidly told the head of FEMA he was doing a great job; suffered the stock market crash that resulted in the loss of 50% of the Dow’s value, the loss of billions in net worth and set the stage for the high unemployment you embarrass yourself by mentioning; the $750 billion bailout of Wall Street without any restrictions on payment of bonuses by these firms (that was on Bush’s watch, not Obama’s) and the Wall Street cronies still are laughing at all of you to this day while they vacation with your money and you are out of work.
John commented:
I think this is the funniest and best laugh I have had since Inaugeration Day – January 1009. It is, without a doubt, capitalizing on the news media’s contempt for Bush and their mesmerization by Obama! Well now, 13 months later and Mr Obama has not achieved one iota of improvement in either foreign nor domestic affairs! His administration has not been clear as glass, he has not worked with the opposing party in congress, unemployment is rampant, national indebtedness has surpassed all previous records, we have no improvement in foreign relations, the economy is at a standstill or receeding, the wars are on a back burner, a health plan is in the hopper that would bankrupt America! YES, MR BUSH, WE MISS YOU!

Oh, and I forgot to mention before about Bush’s original estimate of the cost of the Iraq war (remember, “shock and awe” and “Mission Accomplished”): $60BN. As we now know, the cost of the war has already exceeded $700BN.
Chisum commented:
According to the CBO the cost of the Iraq war through 2010 is $654B.

Thank you former President George W.
Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush
[Honestly, we don’t think President Gore would have been much better that day. The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indominable spirit that day…and we will forever be grateful to this man for that.
As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.
FOR HOURS.
The Bushes went and met privately with these families
for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them.
If there are any of you out there with any connection at all to the Bushes, we implore you to give them our thanks…you tell them that a bunch of gay Hillary guys in Boystown, Chicago were wrong about the Bushes…and are deeply, deeply sorry for any jokes we told about them in the past, any bad thoughts we had about these good, good people.
You may be as surprised by this as we are ourselves, but from this day forward George W. and Laura Bush are now on the same list for us as the Clintons, Geraldine Ferraro, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and the other political figures we keep in our hearts and never allow anyone to badmouth.
Criticize their policies academically and intelligently and discuss the
Bush presidency in historical and political terms…but you mess with
the Bushes personally and, from this day forward, you’ll answer to us.
We hope someday to be able to thank George W. and Laura in person
for all they’ve done, and continue to do. They didn’t have to head to Ft. Hood. That was not their responsibility.
The Obamas should have done that.
But didn’t.
Wouldn’t.
Thank goodness George W. is still on his
watch, with wonderful Laura at his side.
We are blessed as a nation to have these two out there…just as we are blessed to have the Clintons on the job, traveling the world doing the good they do.
And we are blessed to have Dick Cheney, wherever he is, keeping tabs
on all that’s going on and speaking out when the current administration does anything too reckless and dangerous.
Cheney’s someone else we villainized and maligned in the past who we were also wrong about. There has never been a Vice President, including Gore, Biden, or Mondale, who was more supportive of gay rights than “Darth Cheney”. There has never been a Vice President more spot-on right about the dangers facing this country from Islamic terrorism.
We live in strange, strange times indeed.]

“nearly doubled unemployment” – WRONG AGAIN – “Overall, the “official” national unemployment rate (U-3) increased by 0.4%, from 6.8% to 7.2%, over November’s number. (November’s percentage was revised upward by 0.1%.) For the past twelve months, the national rate has increased 2.3%.”

thanks for all you bush apologists for giving me the biggest laugh i’ve had in some time. you must be the most delusional bunch since freud saw his first neurotic.
i’m sure you loved living in a world of trillion dollar surpluses turned to debt; a bungled, illegitimate war that has killed >5,000 Americans and >100,000 innocent civilians; the implosion of the banking system and the american middle-class dream; the horrors of abu grabe and guantanamo; the erosion of civil liberties; the plunder of the environment; the haliburton-ization of our military; alienation of our friends and allies; the wonderful job of saving new orleans during katrina; the inability to stop 9/11 despite numerous warnings; pushing north korea and iran towards nuclear weapons; a moronic take on science that inhibits our national ability to compete; normalizing torture; and on and on and on.
but hey! he didn’t want to regulate nuthin’! he was a christian! heckofajob bushies! thank you for ruining my country!
and obama has done….what, exactly? oh, yeah, trying to fix the economy, foreign policy, and the wars abroad; in other words, all the f-ing messes bush left behind.
i’m no obama fan, but you people are out of your tea-baggin’ minds.
