DUIbya (tm) stumbled his way through another press conference tonight. He gave his plans for destroying Social Security and enriching his Arab and Wall Street budd--er, I mean, Restoring the fiscal stability of social security and solving America's energy woes.
At least, that's what we're supposed to believe.
Here's a few highlights:
"I propose a Social Security system in the future where benefits for low income workers will grow faster than benefits for people who are better off."
Translation: If you make more than $45,000 a year, prepare to live on only half of that once you retire.
"In the near term, we will continue to encourage oil-producing nations to maximize their production. Here at home, we'll protect consumers. There will be no price gouging..."
Translation: We will continue our massive dependence on foreign oil, and do absolutely nothing to reduce our consumption or look into finding alternative forms of energy. Meanwhile, we will pay lip service to trying to control high gas prices, while we watch our oil buddies get richer and richer.
"I think people are opposing my nominees because they don't like the judicial philosophy of the people I've nominated. Some would like to see judges legislate from the bench. That's not my view."
Translation: We oppose judicial activism unless it works in our favor.
How in the hell did this man win re-election?!
One thing that struck me during the press conference was that several times while answering a question, he would give a sudden start, then start saying something completely different. I think the earpiece that he wore during the first debate has been modified so that now it gives him a little shock whenever he starts getting off what Karl Rove has told him to say.
I'm just sayin'!
