10. Remember the good old days of the Crusades.
9. When bored during meetings, doodle pictures of the prophet Muhammed.
8. Have an on-camera lunch with Bill Maher.
7. Eat too much falafel, fries, and hummus – that stuff packs on the pounds.
6. Take water from the Jordan River as a souvenir. He should have prayed harder for rain in the winter.
5. Visit the Temple Mount.
4. Wear a button with Pope Pius the XII’s picture.
3. Hang out with any Hamas leader, unless the Pope Mobile is missile proof.
2. Bring up the year 1054 while in the Armenian Quarter. Can you say AWKWARD?
1. Mess with El Al during the security interview and say he didn’t pack his own bags.
It’s worth noting that I’ve loved having GW Bush as President. No sarcasm in that statement. While it’s become popular to poke fun at him, call him names, and insist that he’s an idiot… I don’t feel that way at all. I recognize that he has been the President we elected, exactly as presented. Had he been more flexible he would have been more popular. But I don’t fault the guy for being who we elected. All of these quaint things that people liked about him (see the video) in 2000, we now make fun of him for.
I predict that public opinion of him will greatly increase after his presidency ends. As more is known and the Messiah’s crown begins to tarnish of the Obama Presidency, we will stop hearing that he was “the worst President in our history” and begin to see a broader picture of what he was trying to do. Eight years later I can still say that I’m glad he won the 2000 election and Al Gore didn’t.
Back to the video. A fantastic orator, Bush is not. With 24 hour news I don’t know how they managed to narrow it down to a Top 10 list!
