Maybe Bush was referring to Jimmy Carter!

I like this part:

White House Press Secretary was ready with a sarcastic response to the Obama campaign. "I understand when you're running for office you sometimes think the world revolves around you. That is not always true. And it is not true in this case," she said.
----------------------

Also, yeah, I thought it was sort of humorous how Obama JUMPED OUT and immediately thought Bush meant him.

Oh, Obama, methinks thou dost protest too much....

lmay7:48PMMay 15th 2008

Listen...Listen...Listen. I agree with Bush for the first time. He speaks the truth about Obama.

If Hillary doesn't make it. I will vote for Mccain. We are dealing with crazy countries that have vowed to destroy us from the inside. Obama...you cant sit down and have tea and crumpets and make things alright. We understand that you will side with the Muslims should the winds change that is why you should not be president.

Go Hillary!! I hope you win this nomination!!

I beleive that you and Mccain will truly protect our country and keep it safe.

No Obama!! Mccain gets my democratic vote!!

It's really scary to agree with George W. Bush...but every word he said was true.

BTW, go look at Wolf Blitzer's poll on the right hand side. What a BS poll! The POINT is that Obama wants to meet with our enemies WITHOUT preconditions.

Preconditions are for negotiating: I'll meet with you if you do X for humanity, ie: release prisoners of our allies, or work out a law to stop stoning women to death for sneezing wrong...

Why would Obama throw away a powerful bargaining chip so readily?

Also, can you imagine what our allies would think if the president met with their enemies? They wouldn't trust the USA anymore, and we could lose their back, their friendship, their help in foreign aid crises, or WHATEVER--you name it--trade, loans, etc etc.

Obama is not so bright.

OR, is he? Maybe he's just a villain.

I have a feeling that all the Bush haters of the world are going to face a sad day shortly after he leaves office. The statement, "Oh, maybe Bush was right" will most likely be on the lips of many democrats. I sincerely hope that we do not see repeats of 9/11 but I'm afraid if the democrats get their way in November, that might be the only way America will see that Bush has done exactly what was necessary to protect his country.

The international terrorist subsidiary of Iran, Hamas, have stated their intention to 'wipe Israel off the map'.

I think it is safe to say Hamas and Iran have no intrest in a Windfall Profits Tax on our oil companies. Hamas has no intrest in health care for all Americans. Hamas has no intrest in what Americans pay in taxes or who pays more or less.

Hamas IS intrested in destabilizing the democracy in Lebanon. This will allow Hamas to use Lebanon as a staging area to attack Israel. Hamas launched rockets from Lebanon into a mall in Israel just yesterday.
Hamas IS interested in when and how we leave Iraq so they can destabilize another democracy that is Iraq.
Hamas IS interested in wiping the strongest democracy in the Middle East, Israel, off the map.

So who would Hamas like to see as President of the United States? Hamas knows another "lets talk" Jimmy Carter when they see one. Hamas believes achieving their adgenda of wiping Israel off the map would be easiest with Barack Obama as President and have said so publicly with their endorsement.

President Bush has simply stated historic facts and .................if the shoe fits.............

But Katherine was much more eloquent:

"Oh, Obama, methinks thou dost protest to much"


"What is more scary than any particular candidate or policy is the gullibility of the public and its willingness to be satisfied with talking points, rather than serious arguments".

Have anything to say about this T.C.?

Kimberly8:24PMMay 15th 2008

I am amazed in everything that happens it is the poor little democrats that complain about their feelings. yet it is them that throws the mud and get hurts when the American people see through their B***s***. I bet they think the American people are to blame for every single war that Al Queda has started. We need to be friend the terrorists because we wronged them. We as Americans need to come together and agree that we are not the enemy they are. We are free and they want to control us. Let us give the country to the democrats and to the terrrorists.

audrey8:27PMMay 15th 2008

Hypocritical slimy dems. They can say whatever awful things about Bush and his policies but let Bush speak the truth and they come unglued.To hell with those worms. That's why I hate Liberals.They think they are the only ones allowed to criticize policies. Obama is wrong about sitting down with terrorists and rogue leaders, period end of ddiscussion.If the dems are offended, GOOD. It makes me happy, the slimy turds.

Listen...Listen...Listen. I agree with Bush for the first time. He speaks the truth about Obama
===============================================
I agree with you, as I was reading the speech I was thinking I can't believe I agree with dummy Bush.

Obama thinks becuase he has smoothed talked so many Americans and several live and work in Washington DC, he can smooth talk anyone. How wrong he is and I understand why Obama thought Bush was speaking of him.
Because Obama is arrogant and thinks with his muslims contacts he will be able to do anything.

Que sera sera8:34PMMay 15th 2008

Good Points Katherine, I sorta thought the same. Notice how huffy he gets at the least thing? Remember the Passport thing? Any thing at all that can remotely be turned into a racist remark.

That noquartergiven article on Obamonites was right on.
Have heard almost everyone on these PM blogs, sometimes from the OP-ED people.

JOHN MANN8:36PMMay 15th 2008

Bush never had any class, so no surprise. Bush and McCains dog and pony show is a concerted orchestrated planned attack on Obama who picked up four more Super delegates today. The Repers are getting worried and Obama's retort to Bush called it for what it was. Repers are worried over Obama, why they are laying off Clinton, knowing she will not be the one to beat. Bush brings up the slams (no name mentioned - trick ) and then that gives McCain a chance to look sweet and spin off Bush. Their tissue-paper thin concert that they think will work for them. Meanwhile, Obama is picking up those Supers and letting the water run off his back. No big deal what Bush says.

Zo8:41PMMay 15th 2008

Wow
People agree with Bush. The people that agree with him, it is your fault we are in the position we are in today. American always bring up terrorist and Al Queda, do you know the innocent lives that have been lost due to America? Too many to count. That is why other countries are upset at us. We as americans do not know when to mind our own f ing business. Whoever said Hamas wants to destabilize the democracy in Iraq when America leaves is stupid. What democracy in Iraq? They can't even pick a leader. Americans should be the American governments main concern not Isreal. I don't in Isreal, I don't pay taxes to the Isreali government so they are not my problem. Obama understands that sometimes war is not the answer. Oh I'm sorry it is always Bush's answer. But war is not always the right answer. If you don't believe that just ask the families of the 4000 plus soldiers who died for nothing. I have lost 2 brohers and a nephew to this stupid ass war. Obama has the right answers.

Suzanne8:42PMMay 15th 2008

When Obama gives Iran his "hope & change" speech, they'll nuke us just to shut him up.

tom8:44PMMay 15th 2008

Dreamers. The nomination is over. We don't want the likes of you to vote for our candidate. We don't want the likes of you to even come close to calling yourself a democrat. You are Limbaugh operatives, filled with the hatred and stupidity we are sick of hearing about. You keep digging yourselves into your hole and your greed is so great that you think all you have to do to survive is more of the same. Keep it up, we don't have to do anything but watch yourself self destruct.

KEN8:46PMMay 15th 2008

KATHERINE...you are blind as a bat if you hold the notion that Bush did not mean Obama. The old worn-out Washington Political trick, say it, twist it and spin it. Nobody cares what Bush thinks.

Katherine ...you get off on spinning the truth to fit her mind-set.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know where Bush was coming from.

Politico.com - Bush warns of Iraq disaster
More Special Comments by Keith Olbermann

Mr. Bush, I hate to break it to you 6 1/2 years after you yoked this nation and your place in history to the wrong war, in the wrong place, against the wrong people, but the war in Iraq is not about you.

It is not, Mr. Bush, about your grief when American after American comes home in a box.

It is not, Mr. Bush, about what your addled brain has produced in the way of paranoid delusions of risks that do not exist, ready to be activated if some Democrat, and not your twin Mr. McCain, succeeds you.

The war in Iraq, your war, Mr. Bush, is about how you accomplished the derangement of two nations, and how you helped funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to lascivious and perennially thirsty corporations like Halliburton and Blackwater, and how you sent 4,000 Americans to their deaths for nothing.

It is not, Mr. Bush, about your golf game! And, sir, if you have any hopes that next Jan. 20 will not be celebrated as a day of soul-wrenching, heart-felt thanksgiving, because your faithless stewardship of this presidency will have finally come to a merciful end, this last piece of advice:

When somebody asks you, sir, about Democrats who must now pull this country back from the abyss you have placed us at ...

When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation …

When somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead.

This advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell up!

Jan8:51PMMay 15th 2008

Bush is a horse's ass. HE is the one without a clue, the one who has made the world an infinitely more dangerous place through his simplemindedness and stubbornness.
Life is nuanced and complex, never more so than now. Yet the WH doesn't seem aware of the meaning of this. In Bush's world, it's 'you're with us or against us'. Pathetic. How did this character worm his way into his position?
Every diplomat, every statesman, every person who has ever been involved in a peace/mediation process, knows you NEVER make preconditions to meeting to TALK. James Baker tried to tell Bush this. Alas.

JOHN PAUL8:55PMMay 15th 2008

NBC---RAPID CITY, S.D. -- Hillary Clinton joined the chorus of Democrats who have criticized President Bush's comments about Barack Obama, saying that his comparison "of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous."

"This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address, and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary celebration of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced," Clinton told reporters after landing at the airport here.
