Saw this on another message board, guy said he got it offa Fark.

Anyway, looks like old footage. Where did it come from?

Oh, and Hilarous! I love this guy! or not

Redjake 10-29-2004 07:04 AM

the fark comments on this went from 0-infinite in like 20 minutes. very heated discussion.

the_marq 10-29-2004 07:10 AM

Whatever, I never liked him before, and this does nothing to change my opinion. In fact it's kinda funny.

Pragma 10-29-2004 08:29 AM

I don't think it's real - but whatever.

water_boy1999 10-29-2004 08:47 AM

I think it is hilarious. Still don't care for the guy.

ratbastid 10-29-2004 08:53 AM

OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod... He used the bird....

:rolleyes:

He also used cocaine, people. Let's get our priorities straight!

No kidding. :rolleyes:

Trying to inject a little levity does not an asshole make. At least it was an attempt at humor. A little juvenile, but, hey, what can you do?

whocarz 10-29-2004 03:56 PM

I burst out laughing when I saw that. He looks quite a bit younger there.

irateplatypus 10-29-2004 03:59 PM

can anyone provide some context on what he was doing there? was this a camera test before he was to record a speech? home video? it looks real enough to me. i bet bush is good company to have a beer with.

whocarz 10-29-2004 04:09 PM

You know, irate, someone is probably going to go ape shit and jump down your throat for saying that. Sad, really.

skier 10-29-2004 07:57 PM

he looked like a kid that got away with something naughty.

Does using cocaine make you a bad person?

Too bad there's no video of that though.

Neither affects my opinion of him. Now if he starts getting high while he should be running the country, that will bother me.

The one fingered victory salute
 
Wait, this guy is a..... president??? Well, he salutes you...

Rekna 10-30-2004 01:47 AM

interesting when was this?

GakFace 10-30-2004 06:11 AM

oh no! Our president can flick people off just like everyone else can... oooh what shock.

Get over it, it doesn't bother me any.

nofnway 10-30-2004 06:24 AM

This ones for you, for all you do.....This is HI larious.

nofnway 10-30-2004 06:25 AM

Not really - you've got a very short video clip of the president who moves his hand into view of the camera with his middle finger extended that appears a few days before the election with absolutely no description of where it came from, when it was taken, etc. - it doesn't sound real to me.

And even if he did do it, so what? This isn't middle school where everyone goes "omg he flipped off the camera! teacher teacher!"

Depends on your definition of "bad," I guess.

Doing cocaine doesn't automatically turn you into a baby raper, but it does its part to perpetuate the continued trafficking of the drug, which leads to the deaths of thousands of people each year. Some would consider that as bad.

In any case, it certainly isn't in the top ten qualities you'd look for in the supposed leader of the free world. That's why I never threw my hat into the ring. :)

As far as the clip goes, I thought it was kinda funny. Not enough to ever get me to vote for him, or anyone who rides his coattails.

pocon1 10-30-2004 09:46 AM

Big deal, he flipped off the camera in a situation where he is obviously in a small group. you can hear a few people chuckling. Personally, he does not seem like a bad person. I heard one time he asked a reporter off the record if he had any daughters. Then he said "mine are a real pain in the ass". That is funny, especially after they just embarassed him by getting carded. However, I do not like his policies and i will not vote for him.

Rekna 10-30-2004 10:19 AM

I wish we had some context on this though. Say this was right before giving a victory speech after "beating" Gore. This would be highly innapropriate. If it isn't directed at anyone though then it is just him being childish.

Willy 10-30-2004 11:25 AM

He's obviously just screwing around. I don't see how this video has any relevence whatsoever aside from just giving you a shot of the president with his guard down.

xxSquirtxx 10-30-2004 11:37 AM

Love GWB. LOVE the video. It's from the '90s during his governorship. :)

maximusveritas 10-30-2004 12:29 PM

I think some of you are getting way too serious and defensive about this, but I guess that's too be expected this close to the election.
It's just a funny video of Bush flipping off the camera, nothing more nothing less.

rfra3645 11-01-2004 04:56 PM

really who cares....

how many people have yall flipped the bird 2???

im almost fer sure that all you have at least once...


really i would like to see the president who ever it is... just be real.. flip the bird cuss be mad tell idiodic people the fuck off or something simaler..

i wonder why do political types all have to be so damned perfect..

i mean cmon who lives like that...

I actually agree with you on that. On the other hand, that would be the very last thing on my list of qualifications for running the country. And, of course, the way I feel about his running of the country, I don't think he would find me a pleasant person to have a beer with. All politics aside, I suspect he was, in his time, a moderately amusing person to go drinking with.

And I should add that, were there anything that could make me think less of Dubya, this wouldn't be it. Heck, had he been elected by a comfortable majority and I saw this in the first 100 days of his administration, it might even make me dislike him a bit less. It's a damn shame that we'll never know. Honestly.

Carno 11-01-2004 06:20 PM

He wasn't even president when that footage was taken, so who cares? And why should you care even if it was taken after he became president? Is he not allowed to joke around just because he's the president?

k925 11-01-2004 09:56 PM

From what I've read this was several years ago, and the video was not made for, or intended for public consumption... Can anyone check my facts on that?

What about Kerry's use of the fuck word in a recent nationally published interview?

Which is worse- and why?

Johnny Rotten 11-01-2004 10:09 PM

That Bush clip doesn't seem old news to me at all...

Charlatan 11-04-2004 07:23 AM

The footage is probably from a wildfeed... He is getting ready to make a broadcast speech... the Satellite feed is up but not live on TV.

Anyone can access these feeds with a little know how.

Dengar 11-04-2004 11:10 AM

hahahaha that was awesome. That is why I like George bush. Who does that sort of thing? Most of us do. Even the people in the video were cheering and laughing. Everyone brings up the drinking and all his other faults, but its nice to know he has gone through a lot of stuff that we have too. And that he can laugh at it is awesome.

A lot of people don’t like him because he isn’t "proper" or a stereotypical politician. But i like that.

paste this in the search window: Bush's One-Finger Victory Salute

seems to be real, have to admit I'm not a fan of Bush but at least it was funny.

tsarman 11-04-2004 11:41 AM

Hilarious. Four more years.

animosity 11-04-2004 12:37 PM

I find Bush to be rather humorous. I am not a huge fan of him, but this has scored some "I'm a real person" points w/ me.
