Rescue workers rushed to the ruins in hopes of finding survivors, earning America’s respect and gratitude.

“The only thing I know certain about him (bin Laden) is that he’s evil. And I don’t know what to believe about him, except that he wants to hurt Americans. I suspect he now wants to hurt the people of Pakistan. And we’re not going to let him. We will do everything we can to stop him here at home, and we’re doing everything we can to hunt him down and bring him to justice.”<\/p>\n

– G.W. Bush, 11\/10\/01<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Four months later, he flip-flopped<\/a>)<\/p>\n

“So I don’t know where he (bin Laden) is. Nor — you know, I just don’t spend that much time on him really, to be honest with you.”
\n– G.W. Bush, 3\/13\/02<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

– Source:<\/strong> “Bush quotes about bin Laden<\/a>“* –<\/p>\n

THIS is the man you want leading us for ANOTHER four years?
\nI’d feel safer with Mickey Mouse in office.<\/p>\n

* According to Wikipedia<\/a>, the quotes on Buzzflash are questionable. So, I did the next best thing and replaced them with verifiable quotes which say the same exact thing. Yes. I am a flip-flopper too. I will understand if I’ve lost your vote as a write-in candidate for the Presidency. But I’d still feel safer with Mickey Mouse though, and I stand behind that remark. -=e=-<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
