True that, it is just annoying. I am here for a laugh or at least a chuckle and then i see this which seems to be made by an angry five year old or somehting…
wrong. its only sinful if done in cold blood, and often the only solution. Example, if a person’s about to kill you, and you kill them, it is neither sinful nor useless. Some people think it’s sinful because of the 10 commandments, but a better translation of the commandment would be “Thou shalt not murder.” Odds are, it was translated that way for political purposes.
I don’t give a shit about politics. But to take the time to create and then post something this pointless deserves its own failblog post. Go be angry at the sidewalk. It gives more of a shit.
There are a couple of things wrong with this statement. I will attempt to put them factually without adding in all of the personal insults to you and your spawn which have invaded my mind. *Ahem*:
1: There is actually no such thing as a free country. In any society there are rules, be they folkways, mores, or laws, which you are expected to follow, and failure to do so is rarely tolerated. If you interact with people in any fashion, you are not truly free to do as you please.
2: You are correct in saying that Bush is not your leader. Bush is not, in fact, anyone’s leader. What he is is exactly what all presidents are: Figureheads. America is a representative republic where the people chose others to make the rules. As with any form of government, it has it’s strengths and it’s downfalls, but one of its strengths is that anything that goes wrong can not be blamed on the system, for the people put whoever is in charge in that position. The people in general are the only true leaders in America, and whatever you chose to try to blame your fortune or misfortune on, in the end, your decisions and those of the people around you are all that shape your society.
3: @ Mel & Annonymous: Bush is not a shining figure of respectability (He could be closer than he is if the media would back off of him a bit, but even then we’d have his own press releases and official speeches to watch him stumble through), but he is not “A retarded Chimpanzee” either. What he is is a C student who made his way through college at an average level, using his fathers money to continue when others would have been turned away. This does not make him a bad person, or a good one. The fact is that Al Gore, while he has shown some respectability recently, was not a strong enough candidate in 2000 to beat Bush’s personal magnetism, which consisted of an air about him leading people to believe he was a nice, personable gentleman. He is expected to perform a job very few of us are capable of, and though he may or may not be qualified for it, it is his to perform, and he has been doing the best of his limited ability.
I personally believe he did a better job than Gore would have done in that same time, but that is a matter of opinion.
Please, start actually talking sense in your arguments and not simply saying: “U R ttly rtrded, lolz!
Here’s the scenario: you’re fresh out of high school and going into college, but your GPA isn’t as good as it needs to be for you to chase your current ambisions. Your options: don’t go to college and get a day job like most of America, and probably be the “failure” of your rich political family, or you can use your rich political family to support yourself, then follow in the only footsteps you HAVE and go into politics like your father… and your brother.
Which do you pick? McJob for the rest of your life, or strive to actually make something out of yourself, even if you’re not going to be the best?
Wow… that’s all you got? ooooooh I made a typo, oh god what will I ever do? Woe is freakin me… *rolls his eyes*
Bottom Line: Bush is not an idiot, he’s a genius. He knows exactly what he’s doing and that is LOOKING like an idiot. One of the best things you can do in the art of war (and anyone arguing that Bush is not a war monger need to wake up and read the paper) is to appear incompetent. I think Bush has done a great job of that; it doesn’t matter if he has the support of America, between his family and friends he might as well own the world.
Then I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky we only got off with a quagmire of a war no other countries will support us on, the lowest presidential approval ratings and satisfaction of being American of any administration, and a tanking economy. The only way Obama could be WORSE than Bush is if he set off nuclear (not nukular) missiles.
Except for the fact that Congress has a much lower rating than Bush. Why don’t you put the blame where it lies, in the Democratically run House and Senate.
Not that blame matters, we will soon be living in a full Socialist society anyway.
You all have your opinions, and to those that keep pointing the “FAIL!Finger” at the creator/editor of this image: Please lighten up just a little bit. I think that this person had the right idea. It could have been anyone/any group in that image and I think it would’ve been funny, regardless, as obviously this was a joke (I highly doubt that every person in that image qualifies as a FAIL.)
Anyway, I commend the patience to bother with so many arrows, that’s a lot of faces to cover. *lol*
Bush is an idiot, and so are his supporters, so I approve this fail.
In response to all the comments saying that the creator of this image fails because he spent the time to put all the arrows on it… the sheer time and effort required to make all the personal arrows makes it funnier in my opinion. Then again, that’s only my sense of humor.
Um….At least during one of the votes, Bush supporters, if not the leader himself, helped to turn the tide in his favor. They sent out false ads saying the date of the elections had changed, turned away black voters on little ground, and many other unscrupulous things. Bush never deserved to lead the country. I wish that Obama would hurry up and be in office already.
I have to agree that many Americans are idiots… this comment sums up those idiots who actually believe in the big conspiracy. If you can’t figure out where to vote, or which day it is on, you are not qualified to vote. Of course, you are qualified to welfare, so in that sense, i’m sure you can’t wait till Obama gets in the Whitehouse so you can pick up your check.
People are stupid, not necessarily Americans or any other nationality. People, as a group, are idiots. Taken individually, most of them are pretty sharp. The larger the group, however, the lower the IQ.
I’m assuming you took everything you just said on blind faith in rumors and hearsay, as I’ve checked and never seen anything of the sort except in tabloids and the blogs of vehement liberals.
It’s people like you, naysayers and rumor spreaders, that make this country suck as bad as it does
Yes. Bush IS one of the BESTEST presidents America will have. (Mmm incase some of you guys didnt get that, I was pointing out that this idiot is JUST like Bush and is a typical Bush supporter… LOL. “Bestest.”)
Barack Obama is going to turn turn American straight around.
I, too, came to the comment thread in search of enlightenment as to the source of the funny. Luckily, my impression is that there isn’t actually anything we’re missing; it’s just one of those dull “lol i h8 politician X” commentaries that you can get ten-for-a-penny.
Really? All of you people are fail if you think this fail is a fail (you would be stupid too if you didn’t get what I just said).
It’s pretty much obvious that the creator pointed out that almost every single person in the meeting didn’t even have the slightest attention on Bush. That’s why its so funny and fail for the most idiotic president ever.
By the way, Americans are NOT complete morons. It is just that way for now because Bush royally screwed America over with wars and 2 term election. How do you have the evidence to America is stupid? Most hispanics in Mexico don’t even have proper education, and Africa doesn’t have good schools.
And why are you arguing about the slightest errors? Is this an argument or a laugh at picture that no one cares about Bush? Exactly.
You are a total idiot. You want “fail”? Look at the idiot that you voted for, that is in the white house now. Mr. Bush kept this country safe, cut my taxes (over $400) and stood up to terrorists. You brain damaged idiots parrot what the media spoon feeds you. Well, now we got Obama flushing the country down the toilet. Nice job moron.
Ok. Why can’t the people who actually think this pic is a fail (and it is!) stop pointing out the grammatical errors and just tell whoever disagrees with this pic why they think they’re wrong? (Not taking sides here.)
Bush is the ASS who killed 3000 lives at 9/11 -.-
Bush is the responsible ASS for Iraq War and thousands of dead soldiers
(Saddam never had chemical weapons, Bush wanted oil control there)
obama has worse than bush all ready so i dont know how they can say that the only reson Obamas co. loooks happy is because they all have plastic sergery
This picture speaks the truth!
And for all of those people who continue to argue remember:
“Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, you might win but your still retarded.”
To be a fail the picture is supposed to show the subject failing at something – a failure that the picture makes obvious. There are great pictures of Bush FAILS out there. This isn’t one of them. Nothing funny is happening in this picture. The fact that you don’t like Bush does not make every picture of him failblog-worthy.
OK people bare with me, this is going to be a loooooong one.
A History of Presidential Fails
John Adams tried to ban all opposition parties, and ordered his vice president, Thomas Jefferson overseas so that he would face no opponents in the next election.
Jefferson, for his part, laid off the entire navy and most of the army, leaving us practically defenseless.
James Madison tried to lead the defense of Washington in the war of 1812. By nightfall, Washinton was burning.
John Q. Adams wasn’t actually elected. He came into office thanks to intrigue in the senate.
Andrew Jackson forcibly removed thousands of Cherokees from their homes in Georgia, and helped create a financial panic by abolishing the national bank.
William Henry Harrison died of numonia less than a month after being elected. He caught it giving a three hour speech in the pooring rain.
John Tyler (a.k.a “His Accidency) was roundly ignored by congress throughout his term and did nothing of note.
James Polk got us into a war with Mexico over land, and rejected Mexico’s surrender until overruled by congress.
James Buchannen made no effort to stop widespread violence in Kansas and later spoke out in favor of its pro-slavery constitution. He also created a major economic crash, and moved large amounts of National Guard weapons to the South just before the Civil War. Most of his Cabinet later served with the Confederacy.
Ulyssus Grant was notorious for his incompotence. He had no idea how to run the country, and so allowed his old army buddies- who turned out to be exceptionally corrupt- to do it for him. He wanted to run for a thrid term, but his party wouldn’t let him.
Benjamin Harrison sent the country into an inflationary spiral when he took us off the gold standard.
Warren J. Harding was chosen as a canidate by the party bosses specificly because they knes he was weak and easily controlled. He often threw drunken all night poker games- during prohabition! His interior secretary illigally sold off part of the federal oil reserves. On the few occasions when he couldn’t be persuaded to sign a law by party bosses, his friends got him drunk and tricked him into signing.
Hebert Hoover tried to stave off the Great Depressinon by raising tarrifs. This only discouraged trade and helped make the depression worldwide.
FDR still holds the record for most laws found unconstitutionall. His Nationall Recovery Act provided for the strict regulation of practially every business in America, right down to the number of dancers that could be on stage at strip clubs. Other programs included slaughtering pigs and pouring milk down stormdrains to keep farm prices high.
Truman responded to a major steelworker strike by trying to nationalize the industry.
JFK’s ill conceived Bay of Pigs Invasion, and a yearlong series off attemps to assassinate Fidel Castro not only drove the CIA into the ground, but also helped cause the CUban missile crisis. His executive order unionizing the federal work force led to the present day government pension crisis, and there are still unanswered questions about his ties to the mafia.
LBJ not only escalated the war in Vietnam, he micro-managed it to the point of bragging that “They (the Air Force) can’t bomb an out-house without my say so.” His “Great Society” and “War on Poverty” did not eliminate or even reduce poverty. It did insure a reliable source of Democratic votes by creating a permanate wellfare class.
As for Nixon, Watergate. ‘Nuff Said
Jimmy Carter tried to pull U.S forces out of South Korea, despite the protests of the Army, and the South Korean People! He presided over double diget inflation and the highest ever prices for gasoline, when adjusted for inflation. He was also unable to find a solution to the Iranian hostage crisis, which he helped cause by telling the the French that it was alright for them to send the Ayatollah back to Iran.
Reagan paid so little attention to the activities of his staff that the Iran-Contra affair was carried out complety without his knowledge.
Bush senior went back on his pledge of no new taxes.
Clinton also failed to follow up on pledged tax cuts. He tried to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinski, commiting over 130 counts of perjury in the process. He also had the IRS audit the National Review after it published a series of investigative reports on his real estate dealings.
Between the 2000 election and when he left office, he passed several laws that congress had never voted on, including a repetative stress injury law that would have made imployers liable for all injuries suffered by their employees, whether work related or not. Finally, while moving out of the White House, the Clintons took several pieces of furniture that didn’t actually belong to them.
Crap shop, original isn’t 50/50
This picture is literally not funny at all.
@ BriarTBurgy
True that, it is just annoying. I am here for a laugh or at least a chuckle and then i see this which seems to be made by an angry five year old or somehting…
Bush is a fail i want to kill. I’ve wanted to kill him for 3 years now!!!
your just sad cause its a president that actually maintain’d his beliefs
@DuBBlE_TailZ
twat
totally meant themisfitjoe was a twat, sorry

wats stopping u?
You need help man.
killing is useless and sinful
wrong. its only sinful if done in cold blood, and often the only solution. Example, if a person’s about to kill you, and you kill them, it is neither sinful nor useless. Some people think it’s sinful because of the 10 commandments, but a better translation of the commandment would be “Thou shalt not murder.” Odds are, it was translated that way for political purposes.
Learn how to right a sentence before telling someone they fail. You blue blooded bastard. Go hug a tree!
*write

Ha, you guys are so stupid, Bush was one of the best presidents we ever had.
[...] finally, in an oldy but goody, Fail Blog keeps everything in [...]

totally agreed. the guy who made this is really not funny and has no life
True
[...] Bush and Co [...]
Fail blog fails!
You are an absolute idiot.
omfg, i love this one.
I quote “Yup, you’re an idiot.”:
You’re an absolute idiot. It really just can’t be said any better than that.
Same here. This picture epitomizes failure. AWOL and the Rapture Ready Administration have become the living embodiment of failure.
You’re an absolute idiot. It just can’t be said any better than that.
lol. u r made of utter FAIL.
LOL..booo-hooo…because of my political affiliation, anyone who finds this funny has no sense whatsoever. waaaahhh!!! Americans Amuse me
P.S. – I’m about as American as they come. We’re ridiculous.
I don’t give a shit about politics. But to take the time to create and then post something this pointless deserves its own failblog post. Go be angry at the sidewalk. It gives more of a shit.
LMFAO, lookit all the bush supporters getting butthurt in this and calling everyone who laughed an idiot.
Just because you idolize a retarded chimpanzee in a business suit doesn’t mean everyone else does. 8D BUSHFAIL!
Nicely put
Just because you think the leader of the free world is a chimpanzee doesn’t mean your opinion is valid.
Last time I checked I live in a free country, and Bush is not my leader. So, er, FAIL.
There are a couple of things wrong with this statement. I will attempt to put them factually without adding in all of the personal insults to you and your spawn which have invaded my mind. *Ahem*:
1: There is actually no such thing as a free country. In any society there are rules, be they folkways, mores, or laws, which you are expected to follow, and failure to do so is rarely tolerated. If you interact with people in any fashion, you are not truly free to do as you please.

“using his fathers money to continue when others would have been turned away.”
I’d say it makes him a bad person
I’d say it makes him a politician
And just what would -you- have done?
Here’s the scenario: you’re fresh out of high school and going into college, but your GPA isn’t as good as it needs to be for you to chase your current ambisions. Your options: don’t go to college and get a day job like most of America, and probably be the “failure” of your rich political family, or you can use your rich political family to support yourself, then follow in the only footsteps you HAVE and go into politics like your father… and your brother.

Bush is beyond fail and you’ve been hiding in a closet if you don’t think that he has completely screwed this country in every way possible.
Except for the fact that Congress has a much lower rating than Bush. Why don’t you put the blame where it lies, in the Democratically run House and Senate.
Not that blame matters, we will soon be living in a full Socialist society anyway.
Why isn’t there a “like” button on here??????? hahaha!
I meant about what Bush in my Tush said.
Aye, aye.
Pedantic at all? I mostly agree though.
lololol EPIC FAIL
its more like, the person with the single most influence in the free world, and even that title is detracted due to his incmpetence
well it ain’t his fault that is true that bush is a chimpanzee in a suit
sorry not saying that i like Bush this just isnt really funny
Hooray for lots of comments arguing for or against some stupid reason.
Seriously guys, this comment thing is a fail in its own.
lets just forget about this and appreciate the failness of failblog.
just so you know this was the speech bush gave after september 11th. So why dont you ignorant idiots not make fun of something like this
LOLOLOLOOL retarded chimpanzee in a buisness suit i would love to see this please link website?
maybe its just cuz i cant see the pic clearly, but i dont get it. whats going on? all the arrows are in the way.
They’re clapping for something that Mr. Bush just said.
dude… get over it…
this is a definite fail because someone took an effort to put all the stupid red arrows on it. THAT person is the true fail.
You all have your opinions, and to those that keep pointing the “FAIL!Finger” at the creator/editor of this image: Please lighten up just a little bit. I think that this person had the right idea. It could have been anyone/any group in that image and I think it would’ve been funny, regardless, as obviously this was a joke (I highly doubt that every person in that image qualifies as a FAIL.)
Anyway, I commend the patience to bother with so many arrows, that’s a lot of faces to cover. *lol*
Ha ha ha, Americans are all idiots!
Not ALL Americans are idiots. I’m an American, and personally, I KNOW America is doomed, so, yeah…
I’m an American, and I agree with BillyIdol, Americans are all idiots.
Like people in general
They’re not. Really, they’re not. Just get it straight k.
Everyone everywhere is an idiot.
Bush is an idiot, and so are his supporters, so I approve this fail.
In response to all the comments saying that the creator of this image fails because he spent the time to put all the arrows on it… the sheer time and effort required to make all the personal arrows makes it funnier in my opinion. Then again, that’s only my sense of humor.
I don’t get it… What’s it meant to be?
BECAUSE THE BUCH ADMINISTRATION FAILS!
BUCH=FAIL
LOL! RPGod should be in the blog
I like how two people in a row wrote BUCH instead of BUSH….
FAIL!
That’s assuming they’re two different people.
But the second one was doing it on pur…. nothing.
BUSH=FAIL
Anon=LifeFail
what’s even funnier about this failed “fail” are all the arrows pointing out at the DEMOCRATS.
Um….At least during one of the votes, Bush supporters, if not the leader himself, helped to turn the tide in his favor. They sent out false ads saying the date of the elections had changed, turned away black voters on little ground, and many other unscrupulous things. Bush never deserved to lead the country.

It’s people like you, naysayers and rumor spreaders, that make this country suck as bad as it does
haha! democrat majority now. You lose. America wins
W is the best ever ALLAH FOREVER
and also, W is one of the Bestest Presidents America will have!
Yes. Bush IS one of the BESTEST presidents America will have. (Mmm incase some of you guys didnt get that, I was pointing out that this idiot is JUST like Bush and is a typical Bush supporter… LOL. “Bestest.”)
Barack Obama is going to turn turn American straight around.
I don’t get this fail…
I, too, came to the comment thread in search of enlightenment as to the source of the funny. Luckily, my impression is that there isn’t actually anything we’re missing; it’s just one of those dull “lol i h8 politician X” commentaries that you can get ten-for-a-penny.
Wake me up when the failboat pulls in.
lol.. how many people look like they’re actually paying attention to him:p?
LOL! If you look at the ppl in the back theyre all looking down or around not even paying the slightest bit of attention to Bush XDD Props.
HA!!! Why isn’t this an EPIC fail?!
Obama is in there somewhere. He is a failure too
Really? All of you people are fail if you think this fail is a fail (you would be stupid too if you didn’t get what I just said).
It’s pretty much obvious that the creator pointed out that almost every single person in the meeting didn’t even have the slightest attention on Bush. That’s why its so funny and fail for the most idiotic president ever.

And why are you arguing about the slightest errors? Is this an argument or a laugh at picture that no one cares about Bush? Exactly.
Anyway, this is a fail indeed.
fu
all
Only 2 black people in a picture of at least 40
i dont get it
This seems to be nothing but an anti-American, anti-Bush website.
Shame. If it wasn’t for the fake pictures and obvious anti-Bush theme, it would be funny.
Not funny
You are a total idiot. You want “fail”? Look at the idiot that you voted for, that is in the white house now. Mr. Bush kept this country safe, cut my taxes (over $400) and stood up to terrorists. You brain damaged idiots parrot what the media spoon feeds you. Well, now we got Obama flushing the country down the toilet. Nice job moron.
Ok, moron, first of all: Reply button. Use it.
Secondly: White House, who is…, nice job, moron.
Thirdly: Bush… Ah, never mind, you wouldn’t understand anyway. Have a nice day.
Can’t argue with $400 tho’, eh? Buys you a lot of supplies for the bunker.
(Hey Brewski, up early today, aren’t you?)
*facepalm*
You misspelled ammunition?
You got that right, once the adults are back in charge it’s going to take a lot to undo obama’s damage.
Ummm…am I missing something??? I don’t get it. :/
Ok. Why can’t the people who actually think this pic is a fail (and it is!) stop pointing out the grammatical errors and just tell whoever disagrees with this pic why they think they’re wrong? (Not taking sides here.)
YOU LIE!
bush is the best president on the world
Bush is the ASS who killed 3000 lives at 9/11 -.-
Bush is the responsible ASS for Iraq War and thousands of dead soldiers
(Saddam never had chemical weapons, Bush wanted oil control there)
Nice President Fail !!
this was so uncalled for!!! this picture is a disgrace to failblog!!
PS- Bush had a better co. than Obama does!!
obama has worse than bush all ready so i dont know how they can say that the only reson Obamas co. loooks happy is because they all have plastic sergery
This picture speaks the truth!
And for all of those people who continue to argue remember:
“Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, you might win but your still retarded.”
To be a fail the picture is supposed to show the subject failing at something – a failure that the picture makes obvious. There are great pictures of Bush FAILS out there. This isn’t one of them. Nothing funny is happening in this picture. The fact that you don’t like Bush does not make every picture of him failblog-worthy.
Win! Political differences do not equal good fails. Keep your political persuasion off the docket.
i agree with this guy
Where did all the presidents with good morals, and care for the people go.
bush had good christian morals and just because chose to go to iraq doesn’t make him a bad president.
“He’s the president in resident,
he’s kind of in charge.
He’s got the whole world saying…
That’s my Bush!”
Hahah this is funny ;D
yeh, bush spoke and america choked.
OK people bare with me, this is going to be a loooooong one.

As for Nixon, Watergate. ‘Nuff Said
Jimmy Carter tried to pull U.S forces out of South Korea, despite the protests of the Army, and the South Korean People! He presided over double diget inflation and the highest ever prices for gasoline, when adjusted for inflation. He was also unable to find a solution to the Iranian hostage crisis, which he helped cause by telling the the French that it was alright for them to send the Ayatollah back to Iran.
Reagan paid so little attention to the activities of his staff that the Iran-Contra affair was carried out complety without his knowledge.
Bush senior went back on his pledge of no new taxes.
Clinton also failed to follow up on pledged tax cuts. He tried to cover up his affair with Monica Lewinski, commiting over 130 counts of perjury in the process. He also had the IRS audit the National Review after it published a series of investigative reports on his real estate dealings.
Between the 2000 election and when he left office, he passed several laws that congress had never voted on, including a repetative stress injury law that would have made imployers liable for all injuries suffered by their employees, whether work related or not. Finally, while moving out of the White House, the Clintons took several pieces of furniture that didn’t actually belong to them.
