And my hats off to the CNN viewers that made their comments on this topic. From Americablog:
There was also a CNN article posted about Bush's mind-blowing statement, but the best part were the comments on that page. Who's the horse's ass now?:
If "kicking ass" means thousands of innocent people are dying because of his greed, then we must be kicking ass.

I'm glad to hear that the President is so down to earth and can tell it like it is.

He's the president of the most powerful nation on Earth and he says, "We're kicking ass," like he's talking about a Texas high school football team.

Another crude comment from a fool cowboy who causes other people to die, but who can't even prove he served his time in the military!

Really? How many Troops have died in this senseless war again?

"We're kicking ass,", "Fantastic Freedom Institute" and "replenish ol' coffers". Can he get any more adolescent?

and people wonder why the US is not taken seriously in the world, when our 'leader' is making statements that sound like something out of a bad action movie. He's not the brightest guy.

Very classy, Mr. President. We need less tough talking cowboy hyperbole and more reason and logic in your approach to this mess you have created.

No, Mr. President. We are not "kicking ass" in Iraq. Only a moron would make a comment like this. I rest my point.

Did we hear that right, George? "Kicking ass?"
Our men and women certainly have had successes, but your deceitful and toxic policies are to blame for the thousands of dead and wounded that were sent their because of your lies. And let's not forgot what you have done to Iraq and its citizens–hundreds of thousands dead and wounded, millions displaced, sectarian violence that is reminiscent of the Middle Ages. Childhoods robbed and lives forever altered because you like to "Kick Ass."
Kicking ass, indeed! What a misguided simpleton we have as president. My fingers won't allow me to even spell president (this one anyway) with a capital p. W, you are disgraceful.

There's that cowboy we all love so much.
Kicking who's ass, exactly? The American taxpayer's ass?

Would like to say I am surprised … but I am not. This has to be the most foolish president in the history of the United States.

President Bush is out of control and continues to be completely oblivious to the facts, i.e., the NIE report, the GAO report, reporters on the ground in Iraq, etc. At some point, he needs to be held accountable for his continued incompetence and refusal to be truthful with himself and the American people. His behavior is unacceptable.

Well it looks like we won't have to wait for Gen. Petraeus' report since Bush has already announced "we're kicking ass".

Another completely insensitive, inappropriate and inaccurate comment from our incompetent and insane leader.
Were we kicking ass when some of our people shot up a bunch of Iraqi women, and children? Are we kicking ass when we torture prisoners? Are we kicking ass when the government we set up is half gone?
Someone should kick Bush's ass. If given the opportunity, I would be first in line.

An aside -- it looks like Bush's economy is kicking ass as well: US housing woes deepen as delinquencies, foreclosures rise.
And music to accompany your reading, folks! Have a great weekend!

Most of the comments run the same sediment, if only this administration would wake up.

Most folks are at the boiling point with the Gerbil Administration. And Bush's "kicking ass" comment really did him in. It's too late for the Administration to dig out of this. They use GOD for a personal agenda and they have to in turn answer to that same person in the end.
