Jay Leno on President Bush

Jay Leno on President Bush


(Surprising)
Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't
often see....
" As most of you know I am not a President? Bush fan,
nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is
about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark
'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came
across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It
must be true given the source, right?? The Newsweek poll
alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the
direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the
country is unhappy with the performance of? the President.
In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and
want a change. So being the knuckle drag ger I am, I
started thinking, 'What? are we so unhappy
about?''

A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24
hours a day, 7 Days a week?


B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning
in the summer and heating in the winter?

C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of? these unhappy folks
have a job?


D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at
any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen
in the last year?

E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks
from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having
to present identification papers as we move through each
state?

F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we
would find along the way that can provide temporary
shelter?

G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying
cuisine from around the world is just not good enough
either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency
workers show up and provide services to help all and even
send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who
own a home.


J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate
case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear
in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the
flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat
screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer
equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to
defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of
bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents.
Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and
computers.

M.. How about the complete religious, social and political
freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the
world?


Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled
brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves
the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They
see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the
world who do nothing but complain about what we don't
have, and what we hate about the country instead of
thanking the good Lord we live here.


I know, I know. What about the president who took us into
war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a
measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same
president who guided the nation in the dark days after
9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out
of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been
called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all
the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist
attacks? The commander in chief of an? all-volunteer army
that is out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk
show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy
you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all
the good things and be glad? Think about it.....are you
upset at the President because he actually caused you
personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you
he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every
day.
Make no mistake about it.


The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to
serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.
There is currently no draft in this country. They
didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a
''general'' discharge, an 'other than
honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a
''dishonorable' ' discharge after a few
days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69
percent of Americans?

Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds
it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will
watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will
watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows
this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They
offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their
actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another.
Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.
Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his
wife, but if he did he would have done it this
way......Insane!


Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times
for the bottom of your bird cage.? Then start being
grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially
more good than bad. W e are among the most blessed people on
Earth and should thank God several times a day,
or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With
hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides,
flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from
one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and
terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to
take God out of the
Pledge of Allegiance?'
