Dubya Goes Motivating (Genre - Analysis)

"George W. Bush was one of the “inspirational speakers” at a “Get Motivated!” seminar at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena. Bush will be speaking at two of Zig Ziglar's Get Motivated! events in Texas, along with Colin Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Terry Bradshaw "

Ok .. this was news that had me chuckling away to glory. I am a big fan of George Bush Jr(Dubya) ..oh don't get me wrong..I hate his policies and his tenure in office ....I am a fan of his Dubyaism/Bushisms gyan. Any day you feel low or stupid or idiotic just read his famous quotes and you will once again be proudly amongst those with high IQ...if not that at least you will laugh away those gloomy thoughts. If the most powerful man was like this ...you will certainly feel like GOD !!

For people not so familiar with Dubya its a nickname for George W. Bush. It is usually used by opponents of George W.Bush and those making fun of him.

If you ask me Bush is NOT inspirational by any standards..to his credit he has the Iraq fiasco, Abu Ghraib, Katrina goof up, Gitmo torture, lies, rendition, immoral war . . . If he was heading any other country he would be taken to Hague and treated as a war criminal for untold genocide.

If Americans think he is good enough to motivate and inspire people .... God Save America !!

If he is talking now ...i am sure he will write sooner ... that seems to be the favourite pastime of ex-presidents.The titles that come to my mind if at all Dubya starts writing would be

1. Ruining the world in 3 easy steps.

2. How to be stupid and become a president.

3. How not to speak in public.

4. How to make faces :)

5. Foolish War for Dummies :)

6. Dumb..Dumber ... Bush !! :D

7. Why people Misunderestimate me ?? :P

Folks are encouraged to add more titles to the above list.

I have compiled some of his famous Bushisms from my collection ......Enjoy !!!
