Bush, Air Force Graduates Get Rowdy During Graduation Ceremony

On Wednesday, President Bush attended The Air Force Academy's graduation. The graduates' excitement appeared to rub off on the President, who flexed, grunted, chuckled and body slammed the students as he handed out their diplomas.

Check out the slideshow below.

That young cadet is probably saving the photo with Bush to give to his grandchildren. When his grandchildren become old enough to read history books, though, they'll tell him to burn the damn thing.

well it's good to see that he's having fun. i know it can't be easy looking in the mirror every morning and seeing a mass murderer look back @ u.

[danoj]

I don't know he seems like just a regular guy at times and I can respect that. But calling him a mass murderer is going way to far. How is he a murderer exactly. You should post facts with your claim. And sighting dead people in Iraq desn't make him a murderer. Misguided maybe but a murderer no. Sick post, and I can't believe the moderators let it stand.

[Fentwin]

"And sighting (sic) dead people in Iraq desn't make him a murderer."


I would consider the death of at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians, (Lancet http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/29/bush-gives-air-force-grad_n_104109.html) due to an illegal invasion and occupation, mass murder. Deaths directly atttributable to this fine presidents lies and diceit.




Sending troops into combat under equipped should be counted murder as well. First degree manslaughter at least.



Employing mercenary forces (read Blackwater) that kill civilians is indeed murder.

Apologies that link to the Gaurdian should be: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/oct/29/iraq.sarahboseley

wow, how "presidential" hahaha. "hoora -- I'm gonna get ya killed!"

[SonnyBono]

Special note to the unnamed cadet that provided a photo op chest thump for W - don't get killed in Iraq because W will never go to your funeral. The administration will also use your death as a recruiting tool if it suits them and if your family runs into financial problems when you are deployed for the fourth and fifth times - you are on your own.

Bush loves the military - its the individual soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen he has no use for - they are not really the kind of people that W and his momma would associate with at the club.

[DerAmi]

Bush is an idiot.

[Chubbster]

More than an idiot. The frat-boy MURDERER.

[TLV]

My reaction to Bush playing frat boy this morning was extreme retching. Would someone please wipe my chin?

[jacobomorales]

to be young and stupid at the academy! I'm glad that independent thought is a priority at the academy.

[Bluesue]

How did we end up with such a person in the White House? What an embarrassment he is.

To think, he once promised to return dignity to the Oval Office.

From the Washington Post:

Bush's 2000 acceptance speech was widely seen as having successfully introduced the nation to a leader with strong principles, clear policies and a determination to return dignity to the Oval Office after President Bill Clinton's scandals.

Just one more thing that hasn't worked.

[danoj]

i'll tell ya how he got there 1.) the Clintons sank gore's chances by making him carry water for them for 8 years. 2.) " John Kerry reporting for duty"

[Fentwin]

How did Bush get into the Whitehouse?



I have a saying; Live free or DIEBOLD!!!!!

[Mekarri]

Wrong again danoj. How he got there was by cheating and a lot of stupid Americans who bought his BS. The country was so worried about Clinton getting a blow job which was a personal matter between Clinton and his wife but know everyone in the USA act as if it was thier husband or wife. They spent all that money and time on trying to nail Clinton to the wall and yet no one made a peep about what an idiot bush was and is. How he ran his own companies in the ground. If it doesn't have anything to do with sex, Americans doesn't want to hear about. They can't be bother. Just what that asshole Rove counted on and we didn't disappoint.

[marthamay]

What a bunch of military haters. You know you talk about Bush not being too bright, but your guy Obama is really not too smart. He doesn't know what Memorial Day means, he sees dead soldiers in the audience, he thinks there are 57 states, and he doesn't even know when to say good by to a racist church. That is because he is a racist, he hates white people just like all the other people that go to that Black Theology church. Get over it , own it and move on.

[Felicty]

How's your Hillary doing these days?

[springsm]

no she is all for "myfriends" the REAL miliatry faux hero. The warhawk. Is it the uniform do you think? Or is it that the AFA is the hotbed of fundamental conservative christiandom?

[Mum]

How on earth does criticism of Bush's frat boy behavior and degradation of the office of President of the United States become hatred of the military. And, with regard to Senator Obama, you are way off base. But then you knew that.

[99hockeyman]

There is nobody dumber than Bush, unless it is a fool that voted for him.

[99hockeyman]

Goofy, there are people of all races that go to Senator Obama's church. You have to get your news from somewhere else than Rush and Savage to be informed.

[KarenZipdrive]

I think Bush has actually outdone himself.
I guess they didn't photograph the ensuing toga party.

[doctorzuma]

Yee-Haw, Yee-Haw!!!!!

[JDHART]

Worst President Ever. Can I get a YEE-HAW?

[Mogamboguru]

THIS CLOWN is meant to be the President of the United States of America?

Seems like, the bearers of the name "George" are cursed and doomed to idiocy, one way or the other.

a. King George III

b. George W. Bush

c. George Gilles de la Tourette

NO MORE GEORGES! NO MORE GEORGES!

[sayitloud]

d. "George, George, George of the Jungle. Watch out for that tree!"

[harvboa]

Boo-hoo poor liberals. Is the sight of the man who BEAT YOU IN TWO ELECTIONS and is still beloved by MILLIONS of Americans too much to take? Boo-hoo-hoo.........

[Mogamboguru]

A drunk loser on his long way to oblivion is still beloved by you? Man, you should better watch, who you make friends with.

[rascalov]

Count the votes. He lost twice. Now pump my gas, harv.

[cindyw]

It's apparently too much for John McCain to take too. He doesn't want to be seen with Bush. McCain can read polls, and I'm sure he also remembers the slimy campaign Bush ran against him in 2000. Your beloved is an albatross for John McCain.

[Quaoar]

Millions of Americans also believe that the Earth is 6000 years old. That doesn't mean that they're either right or sane.

[gr8abz]

Count the votes Harve. Count'em in Florida AND Ohio. Bush lost twice you silly nitwit.
And how do you know Bush is loved by millions of Americans? Worst approval rating in history (maintaining the lowest sustainable level for the longest period). You're a moron Harve just like you buddy Georgie.

[xxxDjoolsxxx]

Who was that funny man old next to the graduates?

[JPE33180]

I guess this is what they meant about bringing dignity back to the Oval Office...

[marthamay]

OH yea this is much worse than having every sleaze bag in the oval office an then lying about it. What is it about the military that you mediocre people hate so much. Is it that you could never measure up?

[Bluesue]

What does Bush's undignified behavior have to do with the military?

[rocking64]

Nothing against the military at all, the problem is Bush's behaviour. Do you think it represents the behaviour of a president and commander in chief?

[jasondeluxe]

Instead of defending this clown, who in fact will be the complete ruin of the republican party., partisan knuckledraggers such as yourself owe EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US a contrite, heads down APOLOGY.

You cowards WILL NOT admit to supporting of having supported the Decider in public, so you should NOT be allowed to do so as some anonymous internet troll.

Apologize to America and STFU.

[glaze]

Marthamay, let me spell it out for you- I'm a Viet Nam era Vet. I 'measured up', ok?
Being in the military DOESN"T mean anyone has to leave their own opinions at the front gate of the basic training camp, and pick it up when their hitch is done.
What some of us HATE is the idiocity of the cowardly chicken hawks who put our armed forces in harm's way FOR SELFISH, STUPID REASONS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH DEFENDING THIS COUNTRY, ok?
Do you have someone close who was sent to war? Were you all happy and smiling, and didn't want them to return too soon, just because some moron in a comfy office in Washington said so? Who REALLY hates the military more?
