President Bush Uses the Google

Or does the Google use him? The commander in chief was interviewed on CNBC recently and responded to a question about the world's largest search engine:

HOST: I’m curious, have you ever googled anybody? Do you use Google?

BUSH: Occasionally. One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps. It’s very interesting to see — I’ve forgot the name of the program — but you get the satellite, and you can — like, I kinda like to look at the ranch. It reminds me of where I wanna be sometimes.

Right on about Google Earth -- I have introduced all my family to it age 82 & they well-appreciate a President that has the good sense to use it too! Good for him & you! We need to all intra-personally possess the globe in our thinking these days for sure! We can now "google-Earth fly" from one of our locations to another!Am sending your words/site to my extended family very active on the internet!

Chuck :

Mr President, you are depriving some village, some where of its idiot.

David :

Perhaps you can fill in for him Chuck, if your village can spare you.

Tank :

Go to google.com type in failure then hit I'm feel lucky

gm :

And this man has new-q-lar weapons?

joe schmoe :

what a freaking idiot

Douglas Kirschner :

OK, you may think of him as you wish, but he is still the President Of The United States. Our constitution allows you to speak your mind where and whenever you would like. He has actually earned our respect. "The truth of the matter is that you can't handle the truth!

ed :

wow, I find it sad that in a "google watch" people still feel the need to interject their bush-bashing. That's getting so old. Regarding Google (which I'm pretty sure that this is all about...), the fact that President Bush barely mentioned the search engine itself and automatically answered about the "Google Earth" app says something about the appeal of "Google Earth". I attend Georgetown Univ., and around here Google Earth is bad news if you pull it up. Not because it's necessarily a bad thing, but because it is very addictive and keeps you from doing work. I wonder how good of a job google does of monetizing the app. Has it exhausted or squandered that opportunity?

Blokus :

Perhaps you haven't heard. Under the Military Commissions Act 2006 section 948a, part 1, signed this past week, the President or Secretary of Defense has the right to appoint a tribunal to declare anybody they please an enemy combatant, not excluding US citizens. Once so declared the accused goes before another military tribunal after some indeterminate time with evidence that the accused may not be allowed to see or verify and many other anathemas. So much for the constitution, habeus corpus, and the 4th amendment. Speak your mind, just be careful what you say lest you end up sharing a cell with Habib in Jordan for some one-on-one private time.

The ChocoHearts :

Yes, our government is a little screwed up. No, it doesn't work perfectly. BUT it is better than anything else we (speaking as a resident of planet Earth) have, and that's why I support it (and, by extension, our President). AND to be on-topic: I use the Google at least once a day. Spellcheck, calculator, translator, and, of course, just finding information.

Lily :

If Google doesn't already own the world, it will soon. All your souls are belong to Google!

zack :

I wonder if Al Gore has used THE google.

Justin :

All I can say is...."Support the troops, question the government.

JeniO :

Typical Bush-ism. As always he is uniformed, seriously language-challenged and not aware of his goofiness. It is hilarious though.

Tim :

Which "uniform" was he wearing?

It's this head-in-the-sand lack of civic involvement that has gotten us into this mess. This is a democracy, for crying out loud, or at least it used to be. President Bush is our employee, last I checked, and he is screwing up royally. This is no time for apathy and meaningless drivel about democracy being "the best system ever invented". Of course it is, but such abject subordination to "our President" is NOT what democracy is all about.
Mia :

Being that I'm from Texas and know that G-Dub is and has always been VERY ILLITERATE, this comes as no surprise. If it were not for his father's influence , he wouldn't even made it through college. I'm not so-called Bush Bashing,even though I know that he is the absolute worst president in history, this is the truth it is very obvious, watch him when he is questioned on ANYTHING and he has no notes to help him through the dialouge, he looks like a deer that has been caught in headlights, he is DUMBER THAN DUMB and he is not doing such a good job of hiding it. For all of you Bush supporters, just remember that warning comes before destruction, so you can't say that you haven't been warned, maybe once the U.S. hits the all time depression and your families don't have food or a roof over your head, you might change your minds about "Good Ol Bush", but it will then be too late.
