I watched half of it. Thought it was humorless and trite.

Got a good laugh from the "100% depleted uranium" part.

I stand virtually 180 degrees opposed to the makers of this video ... and yet it was clever enough to make me laugh. Took a shot at just about every well known "conservative" (note quotations) currently in the spotlight.

IT's worth watching.

And I am definitely not a Bush basher. I think he still may be remembered as a truly great president.

But this was fun anyway.

lol. Sounds like all you Bushies lack a sense of humor (or just hate people pointing out what a miserable failure he's been and the repudiation of neo-conservative/chickenhawk-ism).

Besides, since our glorious leader certainly hasn't been very conservative (nor compassionate), all you conservatives have plenty of excuses to distance yourself from him and his failed policies. So why are you people still carrying his water?

Do we live in the same planet? Last time I checked gas was at record highs, food prices are soring, the dollar sucks, our deficit is ballooning, we torture people, we trample on civil liberties, we're stuck in a no-win Civil-War situation in Viet-raq that we can't afford and Afghanistan isn't far behind. And you think these are the hall marks of a great leader (remember Bush was always taking credit for the economy when it was good)? And thats not even bringing up Katrina......

I'm sorry but I fail to see how any reasonable person could still like Bush, I also voted twice for him however I know it was a mistake but I do agree the video was good simply I enjoy a good laugh.

I thought it was accurate and funny and I didn't vote for him either time.

It had its amusing points; I liked the measures of volume for an oil-based currency.

But it falls victim to the standard "our side is always right" BS; if you're going to include Presidents who had disastrous effects on the economy, LBJ and Carter deserve their own place. And did anybody else get the feeling that the folks behind it were 9/11 Truthers?

this kind of thing could have been funny about any president. I can imagine some Clintstone humor with lewitsky and the stained dress on the coin...ect. It just happens to lampoon the pres we have now. It should be enjoyed by people from left and right. We are a group that goes from far right to far left on social policy, but we all stand firm on the bill of rights, especially #2.

I saw a Family Guy that was making fun of the NRA the other day. It was really funny. As a NRA member, I still laughed, "Guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do." yuk yuk.

No, it's just that everyone doesn't think the same thing is funny. Not everyone has the same taste in clothing, food, art or humor.

Wow. That was a lot of facts and truths rather than inuendo.......

Silly me I forgot that God is an American and a Republican.

P.S.- Which one of those things isn't true? Was it the economic stuff or us losing strategically in Viet-raq?
