"To: #44, From: #43..." Obama reads note from Bush left in Oval Office.
The letters thread is now closed.
  • Note:

    They told me to stay away from the red button, so it must be importanticant.

    Just thought you should know.

  • Look Up!

    Ha, made you look!

    W

  • my guess

    all it says is "please don't prosecute me and the rest of my administration" hopefully obama ignores this plea.

  • I have no idea....

    what Mr. Cheney would have put in a note to Obama.

    What? You didn't expect the barely literate dauphin to actually scribble something, did you? That sounds too much like work and why, after eight long years, start now?

  • Dear Pretzeldent,

    When you speak to the nation from behind the big desk, you don't actually have to wear pants. It's TRUE! They can't see you from the belly down at all.

    Dad did it, I did it, and you know Billy Boy Clinton did it (don't worry, we had the chair re-upholstered since then). The A/C don't work so well in the summer so this is good to know.

    Also, Marilyn Monroe was an alien. Nancy Reagan, too.

    Heh. Gotcha! It's just Marilyn.

    Good huntin' and don't work too hard,

    -W 43.

  • Bush's note reads:

    "So long, sucker!"

  • Two possibilities

    Either Bush left Obama:

    A) A Xerox copy of his bare ass (he is a boorish fratboy at heart, after all); or

    B) A note scribbled in crayon, such as, "Don't screw up like I did" or "I swear, it was all Cheney's fault" or something similar.

  • Note

    See Colin was wrong about the Pottery Barn rule. I broke everything and I don't own it...you do.

  • I'm not dying to know.

    Let them have a little fun. Then throw W in jail for war crimes.

  • start another war to aid the economy will be shrub's parting advice

    Bush stated that his policy in Iraq is driven by the pentigon, which has become such a vast business that there is no stopping it from controlling America and the world - except a super depression that stalls all of the industrial complex that feeds its voracious appetite.

  • Turkey

    In keeping with the tradition of Reagan's turkey-themed paper, the letter today contains only a picture of a turkey created by Bush drawing around his hand.

    He was so busy coloring inside the lines that he forgot to add a message.

  • 43 to 44

    "Mission Accomplished. God Bless Amerika."

  • Whenever in doubt, call Cheney at

    ``undiclosed location.''

  • Y R U SO MEAN TO MEE!!!???

    That's my best guess.

  • Do You Like Me?

    Circle 1: Y N

  • Who Cares?

    Not to be contrarian, but honestly, how much weight would you, Obama, or anyone else with two brain cells give to any advice offered by Dumbya? And I say this knowing full well that many of Georgie's problems, including 9/11 itself, stem from his administration's default position that if Clinton did it, we'll do the opposite. While that obviously didn't serve either George or the country very well, it would seem to be a prudent policy for the Obama administration.

    Besides, he probably didn't even write the note himself, but instead got Laura or Condi to do it.

  • Dere Brock,

    I never figyured this one out in ate years, but mebbe you can. Clintin left me a note sane that if I ever needed an antser to a hard cwestchin, I'd find it in the corner of this offis.

    GWB

  • Maybe....

    "Presidentulating's hard. Don't be afraid to take a little vacation every other month or so."

  • My dear B.O.,

    Before you hold me accounterable, I just thought I 'd like to let you know I have a copy of your Kenyan Birth Certificate.

    BTW - I put super glue on the seat of your chair

  • thinks you needs to now:

    the president of pakistan is musharaff, not general

    iraq and iran are two separate places.

    there aren't any wmd in the oval office

    you need to turn on a segway or it falls over

  • Probably....

    Anthrax

  • To #44:

    Be careful when eating pretzels!

  • here is a map . . .

    . . . of the places i did not find lincolns' gold.

    I keep a pick under the bed. you go for it!

  • #43

    Husane: you arnt the husane that tride to kill my daddy, r u? cuz i alreddy bagged me won husane!

  • debt free

    had this gem: 'See Colin was wrong about the Pottery Barn rule. I broke everything and I don't own it...you do.'

    Almost perfect! All you need would be the 'heh, heh, heh' (done like John Stewart does it).

    Many other great ones as well. Good job posters!

  • Dear 44

    "whenever I've gotten into a jamb or in over my head. I always call my dad and he fixes things. My national gaurd career, my business career, you name it, he'd get me out of it...should have used him more during the last eight years. Here's his number: 000-555-5555. Give him a call, he can make bad business deals or AWOL go away with equal skill.

    Love ya, GWB.

  • #44 - Read this out loud:

    I am wee todd it

    I am sofa king wee todd it

  • Dear Incoming President Osama

    Don't forget that Wensday is Prince spagetty day. Laura always let me get an extra meatball, but it makes you kinda gassy. Maybe you should stick to the regular serving.

  • "Just so that you know -

    in case you were considering any funny stuff, prosecutions or anything, well, we know where you live."

  • Dear B.O.

    Dear B.O. --

    Oh, you're initials are BO. Hahahahahaha.

    :) GWB, The Decider

  • Dear #44:

    Pardon my mess.

    And after the war crimes tribunals, would you kindly pardon me, too?

    -- #43

  • A little nip

    "The whiskey's in the potted plant to your left."

  • To 44 from 43

    "You're gonna do a heckuva job, brownie!"

  • Barack,

    If Cheney refuses to leave office, the directions to his undisclosed location are written on the back of the mirror in the Lincoln Bedroom bathroom. Oh, and don't forget, Wednesday is garbage pick up day. I forgot that once and had to go to war with Iraq.

  • Dear Barack,

    I bent Laura over on this desk.

    Yours,

    George

  • If it won't stop running...

    just jiggle the handle.

  • note

    "Every Friday in the cafeteria is Taco Friday. Heh heh heh. Tacos rule!

    - W"

  • Like my accounting professor said...

    Credits in the right drawer, debits in the left drawer.

  • I know you love a challenge...

    ...so I left things as messed up as I could.

    Good luck with that!

  • Maybe . . .

    Laura thinks I'm writing you a note. I did this once when I dented someone's fender in a parking lot, and that worked, so what the hell.

  • @ Confucius Always Say

    You almost got it right. It should be:

    A note scribbled in crayon, "I swear, it was all Clinton's fault"

  • There's an old saying in Texas...

    Don't let the turk... erm, when turkeys get down with... You can't get fooled again!
