President George Bush: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter'

I will say that fortunately, our economic interests do align with our environmental interests to some degree, which is good. We need to take advantage of wind power and develop alternative fuel sources for the sake of our economy. Luckily, those initiatives would also help the environment, which is a nice added bonus.

I thought it was kinda funny...you mean to tell me the president can have a sense of humor? God forbid.

Didn't seem to go over well with several of the other world leaders. Nothing wrong with having a sense of humor, but know your audience or you make an ass of yourself. That joke flopped.

Why bother? The Bible tells me:
Your attempt at humor/sarcasm is going over about as good as Bush's did.

I wish Bush hadn't made his comment. It only adds fuel to the fire for those around the world who view us in a negative way. Very few people will look into the facts and just use Bush's stupid comment to reinforce their beliefs.

Do we have issues we need to address regarding the environment, absolutely. But we need to address those issues on our terms and not sign international agreements that would hurt US industry while other nations don't have to adhere to the same standards (Kyoto).

Why is everyone so worried about what everyone else thinks about us? Do you live your life worried about what everyone else thinks about you? If it was so bad here why do we have so many people wanting to come to the US? I think this stuff is just a bunch of BS. There is a special on the Discovery ch. talking about China & the US trade and how we depend on them as much as they depend on us. Everyone they interview over their seems very positive toward the US. One thing funny on that show is that they view Wall Mart as an up scale store.

All these other nations turn to us when they want money

How ironic. Our national debt is piling up every day, who's paying for it -- China. They own us. Frivolous spending (see Iraq war, yes -- we're stuck there now, but there was absolutely no reason to invade initially.) has set us back dearly.

Financial lesson of the day: Debt does not equal ownership. Equity equals ownership.

It's Friday, maybe i'm being a little light hearted. Maybe not the best/appropriate joke in the world, but I think there's alot more to worry about than Bush's bad joke.

I really dislike Bush, but I gained a little respect for him when I read that he punched the air. It's true - he really doesn't give a F. You've got to admire that, at least a little.

wasn't this one of the main arguments against president Clinton? the office of president should be held to a higher standard? i can get as tacky as the next guy, but like schneed said, you MUST know your audience. you can take the boy out of the country, but never take the country out of the boy. Bush has been a disaster
