When it comes to a government hotline number for homeowners seeking mortgage relief, President Bush just can't get the digits right.

After a housing roundtable in New Jersey, Bush twice gave out the wrong number in a public statement, saying the relief line was 1-88-995-HOPE - leaving off the third 8 in the area code of the correct number: 1-888-995-HOPE.

HERE I'm for cutting Doubalyah some slack ... doesn't he have dyslexia or something?

No he does not have dyslexia. That's an urban myth.

What a brainy, zany guy. Hear tell he's looking for a talk show host job when he leaves the WH, or a visiting scholar gig. With his academic credentials, his quick wit and silver tongue he's a shoo-in for six figures. Well, maybe his dad will set him up with a gig somewhere doing something that requires no achievement, thought or scholarship, the way he's done all of w's life.

Nobody he knows needs it, so what's the problem? You can't expect this genius to keep track of EVERYTHING. He hires incompetants such as himself to take care of this "bidness" as they say in Texaas.

You do understand that he does not give enough of a shit about any of the mythical little people to care if they get the right phone number or anything else as far as that goes!

Not just the wrong number, he spoke like an eight grader. And one with a reading deficiency at that.

Bush picked a really strange choice of venue to deliver this message. I live in that county.

If we have a serious foreclosure issue it's pretty well hidden! We are not seeing huge numbers of For Sale signs. It's a developed housing market, reliant on NYC commuter demand and has come through this "crisis" very well, so well in fact I am not even sure our county stats would show a decline.

Todays local paper introduces us to the servives of a place called Novadebt, a private enterprise where he held this event. Seems to me like another chance for commercial pals of the Bush to make money off this mess.

Guess the idea of going to a city like Detroit which is really hard hit, and giving the remarks at a non profit where they are desperately needed did not occur to him.

But then, he also had no idea we are nearing 4 dollar gasoline.

Keep fiddling W!

Must be all that MBA stuff has clouded his mind, and made it harder to focus on the little things.
Wait a minute, he's never focused on anything, thats why he can't get his facts straight on anything. That makes more sense that he's never made sense on anything he's done, or said. How does he get that big tired head of his through all those whitehouse doorways.

OK..he left off an "8". Hillary makes up stories about sniper fire, the fact she was named after Sir Hiaalry of Mt Everst fame even though she was born before he was famous, talks with a phony southern accent when in the south.....yet Bush is a dope? Give me a break.

Yet another cocaine/methamphetamine brainfart... nothing new here.

I notice that when watching, and particularly reading transcripts of Bush speaking, that the he always stops midstream in sentences and changes his thought patterns a lot.

I"ve seen this sort of behavior before, in people that are cocaine and amphetamine addicts.

--Hermann Goering
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, THE TRUTH IS THE GREATEST ENEMY OF THE STATE." -- Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

LOL, Are you accusing G W of lying. I think you are an idiot just like G W. G W has problems reading and talking at the same time. He isn't lying about the phone number so I'm not sure what you point in accusing him of lying. The story is about G W telling homeowners about a phone number and you have post some NAZI analogy.

You demean the NAZI story by comparing G W to them. They killed tens of millions of people but I suspect you are very weak on education and really don't know history before huffpost birth. Are you are trying to tie in Iraq to this story? You are an idiot for thinking a homeowners help hot line story can be tied to the Iraq war!

Anyway, maybe I should stop my mortgage payments so I can get help from the feds. It is going to be like Katrina, the feds never weaned the people off free rent and it has nearly been three years. I need to get on this gravy train. My solution would be simple. Move out and get a house/apartment/trailer/car/tent that you can afford.

He drops digits, drops bombs, drops the value of the dollar, drops the economy, drops the standard of living for Americans, drops taxes for the rich, drops facts from the 9/11 Commission Report, drops one million Iraqi citizens in depleted uranium, drops transparency from our electoral process, drops the constitution, drops the people of New Orleans and drops respect for America around the world.

Perhaps like McCrazy's statement about Iran training AlQaeda there is a method to the apparent madness.

Suppose you wanted to be a compassionate fellow (or at least perceived as one) but really didn't want to spend the money.

You'd give out the wrong phone number.

Or if you were a bit more clever have a complicated automated answering system with multiple choices and levels of menu.

Bush hopes NOBODY WILL CALL. Bush is NOT INTERESTING in helping. He's a cheerleader for the nanny state for the rich & corporate welfare queens, corrupt war-profiteers, Big Oil and others sucking middle-income Americans' money out of the USTreasury.

Hearing Bush speak, I've thought that there must be some organic basis for his peculiar mode of speech, articulation problems, and miscues. A learning disability, a reading problem, dyslexia or some other disorder could be a possibly reason for his malapropisms (aka Bushisms). The only problem with that premise is that any one of those conditions would have manifested and been diagnosed early on during childhood.
There has been speculation by some who believe that Bush has what is known as presenile dementia. It's a fairly typical Alzheimer's situation that develops significantly earlier in life, well before what is usually considered old age.
I don't believe he is stupid; he did earn an MBA from Harvard, not an easy accomplishment. There has to be some physiological or psychological problem, not yet known by the public, that has affected his cognitive skills.

Harvard has a whole building (library?) donated by a Bush ancestor, if memory serves. That accounts for the MBA!

What?? You really think Bush did the WORK for an MBA at Harvard? You think Bush worked on ANYTHING AT ALL? NOT. Students would hand money to other students to go and take their tests for them. You are NAIVE. Bush has operated this way all his life. That's why his supposed "government" is A DISASTROUS MESS.

Bush, the major disaster, is only good at one thing: messing things up.

The moron has done nothing but damages to the nation, from the environment to homeland security, from domestic security to international image, from health care to education, from housing to the economy! Everything the bastard touches turn into crap. And this is why America is in the toilet as we are today.

Like many have suggested, impeachment is not enough of a punishment for this arrogant SOB George W. Bush and his conspirators like Dick Cheney and the rest of the evil Neo-con gang.
