U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) is pictured in this combo image falling off a Segway personal transporter on the front driveway of his parents\' summer home June 12, 2003 in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush arrived from Washington to spend the weekend with his father, former President George Bush, who celebrates his 79th birthday today and his mother Barbara. Bush was not injured in the fall.

Now see.. they go and build something idiot proof, and GHWB and Barb go and build a bigger, better idiot. You\'ve gotta be pretty stupid to tip a scooter that isn\'t supposed to be able to be tipped...

isn\'t this supposed to be posted in the \'current events and political debate\' forum?
j/k :eek:

funny this should come up. my school actually bought a few segways for publicity and for tech use.
the students got to test them out, and if you havent been on one yet, they are VERY sensitive to how to accelerate/decelerate. there is no gas pedal or throttle. you go or stop by leaning. it\'s very awkward at first. they also hit 12mph and gain that speed very quickly
also, look at the 1st picture. he is leaning the segway WAY far back to get on. you need to keep it level when you climb on so it remains stationary. we probably jumped on at that angle, it proceeded to instantly speed in reverse, and the natural human instinct it to lean forward WHICH sent the segway into an instant acceleration forward causing him to topple over.
honestly, it\'s funny to see people 1st climb on those things without thinking they can be unsafe. try to stand on a rocking horse and see how stable it is

What a strange device, never seen one of those before.

Don\'t know if you\'ve heard but apparently, a number of accidents on Segway has occured. One of them an Atlanta Police officer who broke his leg. And since the Segway apparently CAN tip over, one must be an idiot to think that it can\'t.
-
Haha, somehow I found this oddly humorous. :D
-
:laughing:
great our president is still a retard.
-
umm, didnt you read what we wrote above on how it probably happened?
guess not, it\'s easier to make retarded statements
segways are dangerous. you cant just order one over the internet and have one shipped to you. you must attend a 3 hour class and be certified in order to buy one.
oh yeah, you didnt know any of this
i told you, lean that thing forward(or backward), jump on it, and you be shoot to 12MPH faster than you can counter-balance.
-
Well he wasn\'t hurt...So it\'s not dangerous enough.....
-
Jesus mm you have a grudge against me?
Yeah I did read it all, and I know that those arent easy to handle, my cousin is taking a class on it.
But are you saying Bush isnt half retarded? One word: Crusade.
-
and actually, from what I hear, they are not hard to ride at all unless one is stupid or just lack balance in general.
-
He only has half a brain...So one side of his head is heavier...
-
sigh..... i guess it\'s popular to make fun GWB
not a single one of us could handle his job, don\'t even kid yourself
-
Im sure none of us could- but their are better people out their to do his job.
-
Nothing annoys me more than someone calling GWB stupid. Later today I\'ll dig up links and show you how high his SAT scores were etc. He\'d make all of you look like such dipshits. And you guys should feel like dipshits, haven\'t you ever made a mistake? There is a reason why he is president and none of you are. So he ****ed up, so what? If he stubbed his toe everyone would call him retarded. It\'s like if he doesn\'t pronounce a word right then the whole world has to know. I mean someone had to be basically stalking him 24/7 to get those pictures, dont you think someone would get a picture of him making a mistake.
He\'s only human, everyone messes up.

When you have a job with the kind of responsibility and power that comes with President of the United States, you don\'t want someone who "can" do the job better than the general population could (having no background in the field). You want the BEST person doing the job, and that isn\'t Bush.
-
sigh..... i guess it\'s popular to make fun GWB
No more , than it is to make fun of Bill Gates.
;)
-
And Spudz. You suck Spudz.
-
Get a push bike and stop being friggin lazy.
mm, haven\'t you played MGS2, the president is all a lie doood.. gezz. ;)
-

LOL, dick cheny and the rest are the ones who handle his job, he is nothing but a front man.
mm.. if you want i will send you the pdf-ebook of Micheal Moores "Stupid White Men" Also I have the audio book in mp3 format if anyone is interest?
ANother good book is "When you ride alone, you ride with Bin laden"

Bush might seem a little flaky, but at least he\'s not a frickin\' liberal nut-job.
-
what difference does it make, there all crocks.

What\'s really the difference? Most politicians are the same, they only choose different issues to get elected on.
