1988: When Bush Said Read My Lips
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In 1988, presidential candidate George H.W. Bush had one imperative: prove he was his own man, capable of commander in chief. With a deft, witty, and wholly entertaining convention speech, Bush defied the odds, beat back the wimp factor, and launched himself to election victory.

I don't see how a World War II veteran could be considered a wimp amongst voters and politicians.
Yeah exactly the man almost lost his life as a teenager in WW2. They see a nice guy who uses intellect and diplomacy, and they call him soft
because perception shapes reality
He was also director of the CIA.
Lingual luring is a form of aggressive mimicry in which a predator (typically a snake or turtle) uses its tongue to fool potential prey into approaching close to what appears to be a small wriggling worm.
Lingual lures are very well developed in young alligator snapping turtles which wait underwater with their mouths open. The tongue is wriggled like a worm and fishes attracted to it are captured by a rapid snapping of the mouth.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Bush had no choices when he decided to raise the taxes.
Paul Lincoln true and he knew this while he was Reagan's VP. The point is: he lied. Plain and simple.
Bush should have fought harder with Congress and not raised taxes and kept his word. But I still think he was a good president during his time in the White House. He lacked some of what Reagan had, but he’s not a bad guy either. Everyone makes mistakes even the best presidents do sometimes. May God bless the Bush clan and millions of their loved ones including the American citizens as they have the memorial service for President George HW Bush!!!!
I remember watching this on TV when I was eight years old in 1988.
they used this line a megadeth song forcloser of a dream!
Rifles Are Awesome listening to that song right now thats why I search for this video!
I actually didn’t think anyone would say anything about that, that’s awesome
Read my lips.
Politicians lie so easily
2:28 boy did that all change when the 2016 election came around ...
I think it works for Trump because he is more a Chris Rock than a politician. Trump rallies are stand up comedy routines. I personally find him hilarious, but I totally get people who don't.
“Know new taxes”
when the GOP had class and respect
OverLordthe 1st last time dems had it? Kennedy? Truman?
@@rohankalelkar8545 no, it was woodrow wilson
@@ThisIsHunty ?
@@henrylister5530 the last tine dems had respect was with wilson, but it could've been kennedy
@@ThisIsHunty Wilson gave us the federal income tax, draft, and presided over a rebirth of the Klan and purposefully kept blacks out of Princeton when he was president of the university.
And then Dubya happened 12 years later.
he looks like bryan cranston! "i am the one who...will not raise taxes"
YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT he’s like Bryan’s twin!!
His forehead isn’t as prominent as Bushes. He has some resemblance.
The bush family has to be filled with the most awkward speakers to grace the white house as president.
Ikr. This speech was one of the most effective uses of rhetoric, humor, poetry, and politics, but was difficult to hear. Then you have the Bushisms and Mr. "please clap".
Video starts at 2:03 and ends at 2:10.
"READ MY LIPS"
I did it says subliminal "I am a liar born and raised"
The movie "They Live" was inspired on him coming to power
Read my lips.....it's hot as hell down here
Megadeth brought me here (actually i've heard that song for years and just today I went to look it up)
Ayyyye Same here
Ended his re-election campaign before being President. Go figure.
When lips said read my bush.
Watch that left eye..

Read my lips.... I lied.
"Eat my chips"
It was nice to hear this again after so many years. Good to see H.W. too.
Only Jesus Christ blood can cleanse us of are sins come to Jesus Christ today
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today

Ironic that he was seen as a wimp and an underdog. Notwithstanding Reagan's coattails, Dukakis was a lousy candidate with no charisma and, at the time, unpopular policies. How he had a lead in the polls is beyond me.
Dukakis wasn’t perfect. But there were plenty of Americans who wanted Democratic leadership back in the White House after the Reagan Administration. And once Bush picked Quayle as his running mate, many Americans were like, oh heck no! All it took was for Bernard Shaw’s dagger of a question about the death penalty posed to Dukakis at the beginning of the second presidential debate in 1988 for Bush and co. to have a field day from that point forward.
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251 Interesting. Besides, I saw that exchange with Dukakis. Even though I disagreed with his position, something every American knew, I thought he gave a good answer. He said, in effect, "You know my position on the death penalty, and I will not compromise out of personal vendetta." If Americans wanted Democratic leadership after Reagan, that issue alone should not dissuade them.
I agree with you. But people can become sheep and shallow-minded, short-term thinkers overnight when one thing rubs them the wrong way. I.e. Dukakis’s answer to the death penalty question. I was only four years old in 1988; but had I been old enough to vote at the time I wouldn’t have let Dukakis’s response change my mind about him either.
@munimathbypeterfelton6251 True. I was two years old at the time, but had I been voting age, his response wouldn't have changed my mind - other than make me respect him a little more for his integrity.
I would have voted Bush, thoigh, out of desire for a third term of Reagan (electing his VP was the closest one could get). Reagan had his highs and lows during his tenure, but in the long run, I think he did well to get the economy rolling again, set the stage fir ending the cold war, and exposed sound moral values.
Read my lips: no no no! Authentic and determined!
Oh GOP, what happened to you?
They became more transparent about their far-right beliefs. That's what happened to them.
Rest in peace former president George H.W. Bush your memories live history books now RIP in heaven with Barbara think you memories
They talked and we delivered! I love that!
Perhaps better remembered now as the 'eat my words' speech.
Reagan had to raise taxes too. H.Bush did what he had to. W.Bush kept taxes low and we know how that went. Clinton's tax rates led us to a better economy
MVQlech_67...actually, the GOP controlled House and Senate counter-balancing Clinton is what allowed us to have a prosperous economy throughout most of the 90's. It was Clinton's policies, however, which sowed the seeds of the Great Recession by helping to inflate the housing bubble, which was a key part of the financial debacle of 2007. The seeds of the housing crisis were sown with President Clinton’s push to increase home ownership by 8 million people. Clinton sought to achieve this goal by forcing the two federally-backed mortgage giants - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - to increase from 30% to 42% of the share of mortgages they sponsored from low- and moderate-income borrowers. Eventually, Clinton raised this to 50%. Clinton's secretary of housing and urban development, Andrew Cuomo, accelerated easy-housing policies and inflated the housing bubble, setting the stage for its collapse by forcing banks to loan to people who couldn't afford to pay their mortgages.
Read my tweets, no new taxes.
Who was the speech writer?
I'm still searching for the 1000 points of light.
I heard also heard he is good at organising drug shipments and assassinations!
Read my lips "I am dead!"
RIP today
George H.W. Bush was the Barney Fife of American politics .
From President Barack H. Obama, His version: "Read My Lips!!!!" "No Pachyderms, GOP's, Tea Party and John Boehner in U.S. Congress!!!" Obama rules!!!!
How's the economy going br0?
The economy is good and Who's in control of the gas prices? Answer: The Stock Market.
Obama shit, both bushes shit, Clinton shit, Reagan good, trump not evil, but a clown
Taxes: sliding scale, but with the goal of achieving a fair flat rate when all people are wealthy (after our technological revolution)
You forgot Gerald Ford
No new taxes. Raised Taxes. Kept promises.
Is it just me or did George HW Bush sound like Mr Rodgers?
Maybe. But his values were the polar opposite.
@@munimathbypeterfelton6251im sure if he wasnt a politician, he would be nice enough. I bet he would be willing to try a bite of hot wings of you asked hard enough
He also talked about New World Order.
"If you're Chris Rock you can make fun of other people"
Dad is destiny
Happy 100th birthday George H.W Bush!!!
That gave me chills :)
What is that amazing song at 4:57?
2:04. Foreclosure of a Dream-Megadeth
ummmmm, is this a joke? He DID raise taxes.
+freelandsm1 and that my friend is how Clinton did so well in the 1992 campaign...
John Waddon Bush Sr would have been re-elected if it wasn't for Ross Perot running. He screwed up by signing the tax increase bill but Congress kept pushing him to sign it. He still was a pretty good president and probably the best one who wasn't re-elected in over a century. Once he left office, the whole economic boom started which resulted from Reagan's policies.
Such a humor!
here we go!
RIP George HW Bush
You seem to be an intelligent guy, I recommend you understand who truly makes the budgets in the US, Congress, CGPGrey has an awesome video on this.
As a man , he was and is great, policy not so much, wimp, i dont think so, i dont remember Dukakis flying any missions during WW2
Bush:they raised taxes I’ll say no
Bush:they push then I’ll say no
Bush:they push again I’ll say
Bush:read my lips
Me.lol
The speech that won him the presidency on this night he won America 🇺🇸
And cost him reelection in 1992.
2:55 thought that was Walter White: I'm the one who _____
RIP
We always said that
Bon anniversaire George H.W Bush!!!
Hello ,are you french like me ? Sebastien
Oui.
Interesting that most of the guys who made the comments in that documentary on Bush senior, are all Jewish! Just see their surname: Morgenstern, Cohen etc.. all of them are Jew!
lol, I was about to say that.
So? Why are you such an anti-semite?
And what are you French sir Federich 😂😂
the most cliché ridden speech in political history
Have you listened to anything said by JFK or Reagan?
Can't take someone with a Sesame Street profile picture seriously.
Good ole Willie Horton helped Bush Win The Election.I think that Bush should have pardoned Willie Horton for helping him win (LOL)
He's in Hell
❤💝❤
Can't believe people fell for this phoney speech.
Never underestimate American stupidity.
Huuummm! Compassionate Conservatism! Yes! Yes Yes Yes!
Anytime you hear "Compassionate Conservative" it means NeoCon
@@nick56677 Hi there Sir! What do you mean by NeoCon. I'll agree with you if it means Neo Conservatism even if the concept of Neo Conservatism is recent. It's New.
@@nick56677 I was very happy that from him. His son Pr Bush 43 did use the same concept as well. It's relevant to enrich the Current Conservative Era with this new concept that provides evidence of how much the liberals don't have the monopoly of hearts and how much the Conservatives are determined to build AN INCLUSIVE AMERICA THROUGHOUT SUPPLY AGENDA.
@@nick56677 I personally did focus on concept like: 1. Inclusive Innovation. 2. Inclusive Entrepreneurship. 3. Inclusive Trade. 4. Inclusive Democracy. 5. Sustainability-driven Economy.
This man killed alot of innocent people

He 'really' said, "The Reptillian Candidate for the United States (meaning corporation), but they had a 'Voice over' Ready. Haha!! Probably what he said 'mentally' to himself, though. ;)
Hey Bush = Instant Dislike
why he was the good honest bush
OverLordthe 1st.....not hardly. I'm not a fan of either Bush, but Sr. was the founder of the NWO. Check out his speeches on that.
UKSportsFan I wouldnt say his super honest as its not commen thing for the presidency but his the better bush for a reason. When he went to war he did it for reason and evidence that actually existed. He also did with out the need to step on civil libritys like right to privacy. As much as you disagree with someone always understand the level in which you disagree, then you dont end up mixing hitler with with some African dictator. Hope the analogy makes sense.
George Bush was funny these people don't know what there talking about plus they never mentioned Roger alies
Wow, everybody in this vid commenting is Jewish. Puppet system anyone ...
d h you don't really know that
