George W Bush debuts as “Motivational Speaker” !!
Former President George W. Bush made his debut as a motivational speaker Monday night, telling a Fort Worth, Texas crowd it’s futile to waste energy chasing popularity.
“It’s so simple in life to chase popularity, but popularity is fleeting, it’s not real,” Bush said at a “Get Motivated!” business seminar, a multi-city event its organizers describe as an “energizing, action-packed, star-studded, fun-filled, spectacular stage show.”
The president himself saw wild popularity swings during his eight years in the White House, garnering nearly a 90 percent approval rating in the months following the attacks on September 11, 2001 and exiting office with only the support of 31 percent of Americans, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll….
“Every single day, I was honored to be your president by bringing honor and dignity to the office,” he said. Bush also added later that his faith played a large role in guiding his decisions: “From a personal perspective, I don’t see how you can be president without relying upon an almighty.”
An almighty what? I’m so tired of self-proclaimed “motivational speakers”. I wish Chris Farley would come back.
I disagree with the comment that Bush had a high approval rating of 90%. While that is what the pollsters reported, I do believe that number was approval of the Office, not the man. On 9/10 he had fallen from 65% favorable to less than 50% favorable.
“From a personal perspective, I don’t see how you can be president without relying upon an almighty.”
So every morning Bush woke up and said “God help America, I won’t.”
