Obama asks George W. Bush to assist Haiti relief efforts.


Yesterday, following the tragic earthquake in Haiti, the conservative Heritage Foundation suggested that “President Obama…reach out to a senior Republican figure, perhaps former President George W. Bush, to lead the bipartisan effort” to assist the beleaguered Caribbean country. Indeed, it is now being reported that Obama has asked the former Republican president to join with U.N. special envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton to raise funds for the nation:

Former US president George W. Bush will join former president Bill Clinton to help lead the US relief effort in response to the earthquake that devastated Haiti, an official close to Bush said Thursday.

1. I think Kanye is being vindicated here, somewhat.

Bush had to be asked to help, rather than stepping up on his own.

7. Of course Bush had to be asked.

Remember the interview with Charles Gibson. Bush said he was talking with Steve Hadley (NSA) and asked, wouldn't it be nice if baby boomers retired not in nice places but retire helping people with malaria and aids? Then he added, I'm not suggesting that's what I'm going to do. But, wouldn't it be nice? His suggestion might be helpful to other people but it's a passing thought for him. I don't think we should expect Bush to step up on his own.

2. I just wish that fucker was helping us when I was pulling dead bodies out of buildings after Katrina

All the places I grew up and played and partied at were wiped off the face of earth during Katrina. It was a hard loss but not nearly so with the people who died. Buildings can be rebuilt but people don't come back from the dead.

3. Ummm, I think this proves Kanyes point...Clinton helps on his own Bush? Not so much k?

4. Bush looks like he did one of his "pull my finger" tricks and Obama looks embarrassed to be with him...

5. bush is leaning towards Obama and Obama is trying to not noticeably lean away

:rofl:

6. Two peas in a pod

Whenever people go off on Nader saying there is no difference in the political parties, pull out this picture. Then pull out the one of Bill Clinton golfing with George Pervert Wanker.

Democrats for the common man? Not until there is a LOT of pruning of the dead wood -- starting at the top.
