Lame Duck Challenge Ends With Free Codeweavers Software For All
gzipped_tar writes to tell us that The Codeweavers "Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge" has ended in surprise and free software all day Tuesday (October 28, 2008) at the Codeweavers site. A while back Codeweavers gave President Bush a challenge to meet one of several goals before he left office. One of these goals was to lower gas prices in the Twin Cities below $2.79 a gallon, which has since transpired. "How was I to know that President Bush would take my challenge so seriously? And, give the man credit, I didn't think there was *any* way he could pull it off. But engineering a total market meltdown - wow - that was pure genius. I clearly underestimated the man. I'm ashamed that I goaded him into this and take full responsibility for the collapse of any savings you might have. Please accept our free software as my way of apologizing for the global calamity we now find ourselves embroiled in."
right all those millions stupid Americans who voted for him (and again). Once voted it was a sure thing. Free Life Boaz
How does a President take the blame for all of the bad things that happen on his watch (9-11, gas prices, subprime mortgages) but can't take credit for any of the good things (Removal of Saddam, gas prices, abortion numbers at 34 year low)?
Speaking of which, you should ask your friend whether Obama will be responsible for the massive test that's supposedly headed our way if we elect such an unproven, inexperienced person as our president. I mean, Joe Biden has only guaranteed that it's coming... so, will that be the President's fault too? I mean, we need to achieve some kind of consistency in these sort of things... it looks bad when we don't know who to blame!
