- clarkslick, on 10/12/2007, -14/+233Ya think he might take a look at N Korea or Iran with "the GoogleEarth", but no, he looks at his ranch, wondering why the brush he cleared out is still there!
- drpeppper, on 10/12/2007, -26/+211Why does he speak like a child?
- da5idblacksun, on 10/12/2007, -27/+211Brain damage from too much alcohol and cocaine.
- goat77, on 10/12/2007, -12/+165I use the google on the internets as well. What's the problem?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+140I bet like many he thinks the google is real time...
he is probably watching out for cattle rustlers. - seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -20/+117Sometimes i wonder how he got elected.... twice.... This nation really is retarted isnt it?
- bushbush, on 10/12/2007, -16/+112I have two things in common with him:
1. He misses the ranch. I also wish he was back at the ranch.
2. I also like to use the Google. - eim9, on 10/12/2007, -11/+61First it's "The Internets" and now it's "The Google".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+53It's actually a bit strange, as in videos of him just 10 years or so old he doesn't.
Some have suggested he's had a minor brain haemorrhage or stroke. - kzos, on 10/12/2007, -15/+54In a similar situation, I use The Google, browse on The Digger, and check out The YouTube, all on a series of tubes. Web 2.0? Try Tubes 2.0. Sen. Ted Stevens ftw!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43"The Internets" = old and busted. "The Google" = new hotness.
Honestly, if this doesn't catch on, I will lose all faith in Internet memes. - canyonblue, on 10/12/2007, -12/+47I don't like to be a Bush defender, but the reality is that even Clinton stated he never used email etc. while in office. The Presidency is so busy there is no time to become familiar with personal technologies you find on the internet like search, IM, email, simple browsing etc. I can understand that so calling it the "The Google"... who cares, we got bigger fish to fry.
- pumacub, on 10/12/2007, -22/+52@ dracostimpy
That was totally immature and uncalled for, but I laughed so hard. - 0x0000ff, on 10/12/2007, -10/+38seventoes - I don't normally do the spelling nazi thing, but I think the word you're looking for is "retarded".
- Ironman11, on 10/12/2007, -9/+34Perhaps he can use "the Google" to search for "failure."
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26 Maybe we should elect someone who already has some familiarity with those things. Oh wait, I forgot about Foley. Never mind.
- AtariEric, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25I'm certain he had an assistant find it for him...
- konspence, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Maybe he's actually using "The Google",
http://www.thegoogle.com/
Some people might not know the difference...
edit: oops, someone way below this already kind of mentioned it. - sleepandtvgood, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24Its amazing how he can actually find his ranch on Google Earth, unless he's just lying to us again.
- josho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Al Gore sits on the APPLE board of directors, not Google. The Google CEO also joined Apple's board, which is why you may be confused..
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=failure&btnG=Google+Search
For those of you who aren't getting the reference. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+25I logged in to updigg you.
DFT
dugg for the truth - Mardala, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15"No Child Left Behind" was a failure to begin with that didn't address education.
- mongrel, on 10/12/2007, -16/+28At least 51% of it. Or at least whichever portion didn't elect him strictly because they're rich and don't want higher taxes, despite thousands of additional American deaths.
- tobsterius, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16I don't see this as an issue, either. He's from a generation that isn't really tech savy. My father is in his 60's, just really learning the internet. He says similar things.
- minox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12He's 60 years old.
- therippa, on 10/12/2007, -10/+20I'm surprised he has to use Google Earth to view his ranch...I would imagine most of our spy satellites are focused on our own country at the moment.
(now watch this drive) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14That's what the two-billion dollar NRO satellites are for.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16I went to http://thegoogle.com/ and I dont see no ranch.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18Whats The problem? Is that a big deal?
- rprouse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12He would look at N Korea or Iran, but he can't find them :)
- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11He also said "on google" after he was talking about Google Maps. Too bad it wasn't in the transcript they wrote.
- Nothlit, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13@Mist0r_Wiggles
Actually, Al Gore did not receive more than 50% of the popular vote in 2000. He received 48.4% of the vote. Bush received 47.9%. You may have forgotten that there were (and almost always are) more than two candidates running for president. - kab3wm, on 10/21/2007, -8/+17HAHAHAHAHA you said BUTT!!
- Sonic_Molson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9the ranch he refers to: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=crawford,tx&ie=UTF8&ll=31.580628,-97.5447&spn=0.00786,0.016994&t=k&om=0
- tocksheit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Maybe the google is how he found WOMD . Osama should be next
- mccake, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I wonder what is the list of his search words.
Example:
Bin Laden location
speech skill
...etc - mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The Google isn't something you can just dump a truck on!
- deesnutz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@mirunit
"Bush and Michael Moore ... wow."
Yeah, but the real sad thing is that Michael Moore isn't even president.
Nor was he elected not once but twice. - Kerr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9thanks for the great laugh...quality post :)
- gridbread, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8There is a greater saturation of internet usage and knowledge than there was when Clinton was in office...
Aside from that, yes, I really don't care nor am I surprised he would say "the Google". - Mist0r_Wiggles, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15Actually on the 2000 election over 50% of the voters voted for Gore. But in this country we use the electoral college system and not by the actual votes. By people wise, Gore won, and by points wise, Bush won.
- fjvwing, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Considering the state email is in, with regards to security, reliability, identity, and especially ability for counterfeiting, I think that not only should no POTUS use email, it should be a clearly defined public policy. Just like my bank will never ask for my PIN, nobody on any level of government will ever receive an email from the POTUS, with any instruction whatsover. It is just too easily intercepted, examined, and spoofed.
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8"Oh my god! Those countries have flying cars on the Mapquests! Whoa, look at the size of that bee!"
- PuffyC, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6No Child Left Behind is an abortion - don't use that union crutch to deflect blame for this total failure. As someone with many educators in the family (none unionized), and three kids in public schools, NCLB is a perfect example of good intentions being betrayed by ignorance of the topic at hand.
- geneseepc, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10We all hope. But as has been proven over and over again in recent history MOST of our government officials have no idea what anything is in technology or networks, and hold little understanding of how any of it works.
"The Google is clogging our damn tubes"..
They know $ when it comes to networks... atleast something gets their attention, to bad its not something useful to the rest of us. - expectinrain, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I'm going to miss him in 2009. Unless we elect Yucco the clown, its not going to get any easier for comedians and late night hosts to poke fun at the President. The next guy or gal might have a coherent grasp of the English Language.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8@TheThirdWheel
I don't understand. You don't want your president to be more efficient? - jron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this guy is commander in chief--having access to the greatest military spy satellites in the world and he gets a boner from google earth? why do i get the feeling someone else is really running ***** in washington?
- mathmanjeffy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Amazing...
Beyond basic funding, the US Federal Government has extremely little to do with the performance of schools. That is left to the local and state governments. While the "No Child Left Behind Act," like so many federal programs before it, tried to improve schools, it failed because there is little that can be done based on funding alone. While school funding needs improvement, most of a schools budget is derived from local property taxes, something the federal government, and the president less so, has any direct control over.
Now, that being said, using "the" in this case sounds "weird" but isn't technically grammatically incorrect. I'm not necessarily defending Bush, merely stating that this is a really nitpicky thing to get up in arms about. -
