"My friends and I would like to invite you and your friends to the bankruptcy and store closing of some American establishments.

"We would also like to thank all of you who have supported us with your votes and prayers. We've never had so much fun or made so much money in all our lives. The truth is, until you elected me as your President, I had failed miserably at everything I'd tried.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I talked with God again today, and He said to pass on to you that He was super pleased with everything Cheney and I have done in the last seven years in His behalf." — George W. Bush

WASHINGTON July 30, 2008 - (AP) The Bush administration gave details Wednesday on how it plans to borrow the billions of dollars it will need to cope with the soaring budget deficits. Those plans include raising $27 billion by selling a new 10-year note and a new 30-year bond at the regularly scheduled quarterly auctions to be held next week. The government needs to borrow $171 billion during the current July-September quarter, the second highest quarterly borrowing total on record.

Hope you morons who voted for Bush are happy. You started out as fools only, but now you are mass murderers. With the murder of millions, 4,100 of them Americans, and your concentration camps Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo under you belts, it would be extremely hypocritical of you to speak ill of Adolf Hitler and his ungodly followers.
