Just the facts, man
We’ve long been fans of the famous “Chuck Norris Facts” that were once an Internet sensation (Example: “There is no chin under Chuck Norris’ beard. Only another fist.”)
So we couldn’t help but notice the deluge of news releases emerging from the White House over the last few weeks, titled “Fact Sheet.” As the Bush presidency winds up, of course, these missives about the president’s policy accomplishments are meant to paint his legacy in the most favorable light.
So, while President Bush doesn’t really push the Earth down when he does a push-up (a la Norris), there are a few things he’d like to take credit for:
» “President Bush has strengthened America’s energy security and taken constructive steps to confront climate change.” (Dec. 15)
» “President Bush and his administration are working to unleash the potential of the transatlantic economy.” (Dec. 12)
» “President Bush has improved the lives of America’s youth.” (Dec. 11)
» “America’s military has become stronger, more agile and better prepared to confront threats to the American people.” (Dec. 9)
» “The Bush administration has provided unprecedented support for our veterans.” (Dec. 7)
» “President Bush has improved how we address human need through faith-based and community initiatives.” (Dec. 2)
» “President Bush has kept America safe.” (Dec. 17)
