Bush helps sell Euros

This will either make you laugh or cry.  

I live in Bogotá, Colombia and was recently thumbing through Semana magazine, a sort of Colombian equivalent to Time or Newsweek and something caught my eye.  There's a full page ad of a blurred picture of President Bush alongside one of his famous Bushisms: (in Spanish): "If we are not successful we run the risk of failure."  On the bottom of the page is the line "Now is the time to invest in Euros" and a phone number and logo of the Colombian bank, Colpatria.  Bravo to them for clever marketing but I seriously hope these jokes will end come November.  

•  Hey!!

  After you live through something bad, you earn the right to crack jokes about it.

  I hope we're cracking Bush jokes through 2008.

•  too funny!

  people selling gold should try something similar.

  if Bush wins -- euros and gold are probably a good investment
