Status: Hoax
The picture of this Connecticut highway sign has been circulating for quite a while, and it's obviously photoshopped (
Snopes has a picture of the non-photoshopped version, which lacks the phrases "Birthplace of George W. Bush" and "We apologize"... though their non-photoshopped version actually kind of looks like it's been photoshopped). But apparently there really are signs
outside of New Haven, Connecticut welcoming people to New Haven "The birthplace of President George W. Bush '68." George W was born there in 1946, while his father was attending graduate school there. I'm surprised no one has edited these signs to add a "We Apologize." (Maybe they have and I haven't heard about it.) Incidentally, New Haven's other claim to fame is that it used to be the oyster capital of the United States.

George W. Bush is a wonderful President in my opinion and I do not appreciate you saying "We Apologize."
God Bless you, America and no were else!
"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security..."
ahem... Republicans I think you should pay attention to this.
now, it's fairly easy to understand that response since the state of connecticut voted overwhelmingly for john kerry. but, don't you think they would at least acknowledge george at the state information booths?
ultimately though, we are seeing, and experiencing how violance, hatred and war are not solutions to todays challenges. if i believe in peace, then i must practice peace, in my actions and thoughts.
there have been times in my life when i have hired a person to do a job. i liked that person, but they just couldn't do the job like it was to be done. nothing against the person, just not the person qualified to handle the job.
i like george. i'd love to sit down with him a smoke a joint, along with willie, and just enjoy his company. heck, i'd even give him a job taking care of a ranch and clearing brush. but president?....
well, he's here now, he's been here for awhile, and he'll be here for a couple more years. there's an old saying that you get more with honey than you do with vinegar.
i have begun to think of george in kinder terms. after all, God did make "all" of us, george included. so let's not dis God for His creating. instead, let's focus on what needs to be done to solve the challenges. compassion may very well be the place to start.
It is mindboggling to me how much deception, lying, cheating and misinformation is feed to the population- who eat it up whole, without question in blind Patriotism. WOMD? -none- it is the Americans who have those- and use them. Bush from Texas? No- born in New Haven. It goes on and on.
I cringe at the ignorance of the average person who whole heartedly back "America" without question, and tow the Bush line. It is very frightening to see our liberties squashed, and America led down the garden path to certain collapse. Democracy? Perhaps Americans should partake in it themselves (about 50% or Americans don't vote!) Get educated America- knowledge is power- like the power to make wise choices and see when leaders are bad and get rid of them. Remember the Bush Kerry fiasco? The ballots were rigged in Bushes favor (helps when Bro Jeb was the Gov of Florida) How did America fall for that scam? Bush ads portraying the good decent Vietnam vet Kerry as not much of a soldier and Bush as good one- what a joke- Bush was a pussy whipped rich kid who avoided the reserves/army and never went to war. They call it spin- what it really is is deception and lies. America- wake up and smell the horse shite- if you really love America- take part in making sure it is run honestly, fairly, and properly! When Bush quoted Jesus from the Holy Bible and said "You are either with me or against me" I knew we were in trouble! I understand now why Arab cultures see us as the Great Satan with G W in power. I could go on but I shant. I urge America to take back your country before it is too late! I wish you well America. God Bless.
The President is advised, but makes the final decision. If a company goes bust, you don't jail the janitor.
Irak was about oil, and the greed of The West, where I was born. Once every now and then one has to choose between patriotism and altruism.
If you believe in your hypothetical god, where does he say that violence is allowed, even as self-protection? Your commandments say the contrary.
vote for him in 2013
