Does the leader of your country have a sense of humor?

  #1  
Sep 26th, 2007
In history, George W. Bush may take first place amongst US presidents, if not all world leaders, as the leader with the best sense of humor. If you think the leader of your country is any better, give us an example.

Here are some of GWB's better examples that bring a smile to anyone's face:

"You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006

"If the Iranians were to have a nuclear weapon they could proliferate." --George W. Bush, Washington D.C., March 21, 2006

"Make no mistake about it, I understand how tough it is, sir. I talk to families who die." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 7, 2006

"It's a heck of a place to bring your family." --George W. Bush, on New Orleans, New Orleans, La., Jan. 12, 2006

"The point now is how do we work together to achieve important goals. And one such goal is a democracy in Germany." --George W. Bush, D.C., May 5, 2006
All of this is orignal material by GW himself!

Hmmm, sense of humour and Gordon Brown?

Nope, don't think there is any danger of the two meeting up at any point.

That doesn't reflect a sense of humor but rather a lack of real intelligence. He was completly serious when he uttered those words.

i guess the idea is that george bush is stupid.

but if that is so then why did you guys vote for him? and twice?

anyway the funniest thing i have heard from my president was when he said that we should increase exports while decreasing imports.

what makes it funny is that all of this should happen while he wants first world countries to invest in our economy. this is of course impossible as imports pay for exports and vice versa.

but i think our leaders know how funny they are. they just hope that we dont.
... what society overwhelmingly asks for is snake oil. Of course, the snake oil has the most impressive names —otherwise you would be selling nothing— like "Structured Analysis and Design", "Software Engineering", "Maturity Models", "IPSE", "MIS", "OO", "BPRE".... by Edsger W. Dijkstra

That could work. If they unite against the common enemy they're too busy to fight each other...
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
