NEWS: Bush: 'I Don't Want You Reading My Personal Stuff'

Bley > that may be true, but hes still getting the very same treatment we are all subject to under his laws, so its rather fitting that now hes actually thinking about it. Dispite his wishes for privacy I think he should be subject to just the same level of scrutiny that legislation can now level against the private citizen, seems only right to carry the same yolk that the rest of us do doesnt it?

"I don't want you reading my personal stuff," wonderful grammar George...try coming up with another word for stuff!

Bleys, dang it, you always make sense.

Hey guys, Bush doesn't want to use E-mail. Let's bash him over it!

Why is this news?

Carseller- Dont you see the irony in this? Please tell me you do.

what the f*** is wrong with someone not wanting others to go through their mail?


who makes these stupid blogs anyway, god quit picking on the godamn president you losers..

topsecretombomb > first off nothing is wrong with it as long as in the next breath you dont try to get a law passed that lets you read other people's email. Second its not picking on him, its picking at him for being a hypocrite about privacy. When he asks for privacy its fine, but when we ask for privacy its "hiding something illegal" because after all if your doing nothing wrong you have nothing to hide, so he shouldnt have anything to hide either.

AlternateHeaven, thank you

I have trouble with words and you dont. Lucky for us.

It is ironic that someone who supports the patriot act without reservation, the president and many others, are suddenly sensitive to it when an actual human being, the president, is involved.

I sympathize with him that public figures political and otherwise have their private lives spied on and exposed in the worst light possible to sell copy, TV ad time or political agendas.

Now imagine all you so-called conservatives when someone in government is prying into your e-mails and personal financial, phone and other records just how it will feel.

You may respond 'Why would they focus on me, I haven't done anything?'
How can they know you haven't done anything until they spy on you?

Any powers given government will be used and it will be used for purposes it was not intended for.

The best real protection from excessive scrutiny by the government is actually the stupendous numbers of population. There are just too many people to watch all of them.

Most governments, liberal or conservative, will always pry into people's lives and try to control them. 'We fill in blank[conservatives, liberals, etc] know what is best for you and you don't and we will force you to do it. The root of the word government is 'to govern' 'to control'.

Libertarians don't need excess government prying into personal decisions or picking our pockets every tax season so you can pay for the government that benefits only corporations and the well connected.
.

The President is not complaining. He knows that if he uses E-Mail it may be viewed, so he chooses not to do it. What is the big deal?

I thought liberals where pro-choice?

Georgy boy isnt intrested in the fact that the press are gonna read and publish his personal letters to his daughters..he doesnt use the internet because he knows every time he downloads a new porn film the press will know..

This freedom of information act has severly curtailed georges ability to download and add to his collection of sado-masocistic and animal films....

But his wrist dont hurt half as much and the horses on the presidential ranch sleep a lot easier

Andy- How dare you say our president likes such things?

Andy- Stop talking about our president like that. Have respect for the highest office, please.

Besides, he went to rehab.

Let’s try and stay on the topic here please. Comments like this are totally inappropriate and often lead to the closing of the thread. There is a lot of irony in what President Bush is saying and it doesn’t matter if you like him or not. Thank you.

This is the news forum folks, let's treat it with the respect it deserves. That includes not circumventing the censors. OK?

.
When the government lies about aluminum tubes and bars DOE employees from the truth, how seriously is the US gov taking people? Not very.

Turn about is fair play

How seriously is the US gov taking people when it spends 10 billion on segways for Santa Clara CA, a trailer to transport lawnmowers for the annual lawnmower race in Converse TX, All in the Name of 'Homeland Security' and can't be bothered to spend half a billion to secure our southern border?

It only gets off its duff when the citizens of Arizona take up the job the US gov has fallen down on.

FBI translators Cheer 911?

CIA tells us Iraq has WMDs?

The US Government is a JOKE! and should be treated accordingly.

How seriously do GWBs flunkies take people when they lie about someone being a CIA agent because they don't want to hear anything but 'Happy Talk'?

GIVE ME A BREAK!

Time for a Reality Check.
.

Dude, dude, dude.........How serious you are....
Gotta ask you something...do you work for the IRS or something..??

Do you beat small children in the street if you see them drop the wrapper from a candy bar on the floor...??

Do you wear your jacket with the hanger still inside.. ??

Im English...WE are supposed to be the rigid ones !!!!!

I just cant understand how ANYONE can take ANYTHING said or ANYTHING done by George "im a pathalogical liar" Bush, seriously

I bet you REALLY believe the war in Iraq is about ridding the world of terrorism and has nothing to with PERSONAL GAIN, CONTRACTS, OIL, or LINING THE BUSH FAMILY POCKETS.....

Man...I award you patriot of the hour....

Yah, this coming from the man who brought us the Patriot Act (I & II) which basically removes any and all forms of Privacy be it documents, your own home and even your speech when needed. Our thoughts are next, which have already been controlled on occasion only it's usually a lot less publicized.

It wasn't president Bush who "brought us the patriot act."

You should actually read a bit on the whole process on how bills are passed and who writes them.... i'll give you a hint...it was not president Bush who wrote or passed the bill....

Although most would disagree, I think the Patriot Act is a wonderful idea and tool. I am glad it is there no matter how intrusive it can seem sometimes. It's a shame that some have no confidence in our government to do the right thing, which is totally understandable. I never object to the Patriot Act because I never do anything that is shady. Usually people that have something to hide worry about this or are just paranoid. I dont care if the government hears my conversations or knows what Im doing. There getting a free show as far as Im concerned. You probably wont even know that they were getting in your business in the first place.

i guess this proves that they see ALL...

i mean...

bush said it so it must be true...

I don't want George W Bush, slackjaw POTUS impersonator, reading my personal stuff either.

Although I am impressed if the "No child left behind" program has worked for Bush's daughters and they can actually read and comprehend what he manages to record in an email.

Are we agreed, Mr Bush? You stay out of my email, I'll stay out of yours.
