141. Me three

Commander Codpiece cares not one whit for the troops.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

5. Nobody can. Thus a logical impossibility.

Or perhaps it's nobody can as in "nobody is allowed to."

???

[glitch]

12. This nobody can. However, I am not the same nobody who insufficiently sussed the state of economy.

Those nobodies are well-paid.

109. Unless you can read minds...

Your first assessment is the correct one.

6. I question as only a vet's mom ,ex-wife and daughter can

what a pathetic excuse for a commander in chief.

8. Unless politically convenient, aka Photo Op

that's the needed qualifier.

9. I do

I know there's no way Obama could have said differently, but I'm not president, so I will.

11. I have to admit, I do question Bush's love for the troops and the US. nt

[bleever]

13. What kind of love can a narcissistic sociopath actually have for anything?

Love means never having to say "Sorry your kid died in a war of choice".

That ain't Bush.

19. FUbush and your minions. May the ghosts of the tortured and dead haunt your remaining miserable life

[KansasVoter]

20. That was one stupid thing for Obama to say!

[molly77]

187. The bushes still run the country

Obama says what he has to say. A frequent commenter on another site lived in Yugoslavia before and after Tito. Says Tito had more autonomy than our leaders and Great Britain's today. Saw the very same thing happen there that is going on here. Huge attempts to start race/religion/class wars to divide the people.WE are in the cross hairs.

No, I don't think bush cared about the troops or anybody for that matter. Used to see the same behavior on psychiatric units all the time.

[City Lights]

34. The repuks use the troops as pawns and worse.

Their false "patrotism" is one of their most disgusting attributes.

[anarch]

35. he cares for both as a drunken idiot playing chess cares for the pawns

his administration did more damage to this country than pretty much anything else in a long, long time.

[kentuck]

36. "Now, watch this drive".

That cold-hearted bastard ?

[Solly Mack]

37. There is no question - the man's a war criminal who proved with his actions

just how much contempt he had for the troops and the country.

39. The Chimp is a war criminal...k&R

40. Not only that, I question his reading skills

When someone shows you a memo that says "Bin Laden determined to strike in US", 7 months after the Cole bombing, you're probably going to read it. And take action.

[tnlefty]

46. I don't question it, I flat out don't believe it.

Dimson** was/is all about Dimson**.

[activa8tr]

47. I question his love. I question his sanity. I question how America can

be so stupid as to elect him.

3000 lost on 9/11

4416 lost in Iraq because of the arrogance and stupidity of this man

[Jack Rabbit]

61. The real question is: Was America so stupid as to elect him?

Inquiring minds still want to know.

[activa8tr]

72. Good point, no, it was the stupid conservatives on the Supreme Court

[sarge43]

48. Sir, reporting as ordered.

Besides himself Bush cares for nothing or no one. He's a parthological narcissist.

[Stinky The Clown]

49. Yo

[fascisthunter]

50. If He Cared, He Wouldn't Have Dared

to send troops for what turned out to be a war over natural resources, resources that belonged to the Iraqi's. Imagine a country invading us, using an excuse like WMD's to take resources from us while enriching too-large-to-fail companies... funny how people don't seem to be able to imagine themselves being others. Lack of a conscience is why...

[LibDemAlways]

51. Like his mother, who was fine with the displaced victims of hurricane

Katrina being warehoused in Houston, even giggling about it, Bush is a sociopath who cares for nobody.

Obama should be ashamed of himself for uttering such shit. (Unless he believes it, in which case he isn't as intelligent as he lets on.)

[lunasun]

54. exactly He was raised by a generational sociopathic/egocentric family but no

excuse for the deaths he caused..

besides....I thought he was saved and reborn????

Cheney's ego & love of $$$, not the troops or Iraqis was his aim

Neocons just wanted to rule the world their way

Obama better have a stick in his back or something as an excuse for this kind of sappy/false talk

59. Fuck bush* and cheney*!

War criminals!

[ismnotwasm]

60. Sure thing

I'm the mother of two soldiers who served under that puke. You bet I question it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

62. I question

Between the Iraq invasion/occupation, Gitmo, Abu Gharib, and, most importantly, bringing fake turkeys to the troops for Thanksgiving dinner photo-ops, I have some SERIOUS questions/concerns about Bush's love for the troops and our country.

*For the record, I believe that Obama does too but that he *had* to say otherwise- speaking about a fellow POTUS.

[gkhouston]

63. Checking in. If Bush gave a shit about the troops, he wouldn't have lied them

into a phony war, given them substandard equipment, dirty water, unsafe housing, cheated them out of necessary medical care, short-changed them on the GI Bill, and he would have gotten rid of DADT. If he'd cared about the country, he wouldn't have assaulted the Constitution, driven us into a financial hole to enrich his buddies, and done nothing while New Orleans drowned.

I can understand that it's a matter of decorum for Presidents to not speak ill of their predecessors, but in this case, President Obama is showing stinkingly poor judgment by adhering to that custom. If he can't bring himself to openly acknowledge Bush's crimes, he should STFU. Unmerited praise of Bush make Obama look like an idiot at best and a co-conspirator at worst.

[activa8tr]

103. YOU have it ABSOLUTELY right!!! n/t

[Dappleganger]

64. He loved the attention

and blind loyalty from many of the troops and republiCONS.

[sakabatou]

65. Hey

66. Bush?

care about the troops???? no way, he never enlisted himself coward!!!

[bonnieS]

67. I question and answer

no love there.

[jwirr]

68. I question even his understanding of what it is he has done to this

country. The rich are not feeling the hurt.

[KamaAina]

69. Oh! Oh, oh! O-o-o-o-o-o-o-hhh!!!

[JDPriestly]

70. What shocks me is that Robert Gibbs dismisses the "professional left"

and seems to be trying to kick progressives out of the party one week, and just a couple of weeks later, Obama is saying kind things about Bush in a major nationally broadcast speech. Which side are they are on? Whose friends are they? Has someone promised them millions when they leave the White House (millions as in the millions that Clinton has been paid for being so kind to Wall Street when he was in office)?

Who can we get to run against Obama in 2012? Who will not be corrupted once he or she gets to the White House? Is there one honest person who could conceivably win?

[LibDemAlways]

91. In a more perfect world Howard Dean and Alan Grayson would

join forces on a single alternative "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" ticket and launch a "no bullshit" campaign to counter the DLC run establishment. All they'd have to do is stick to the truth and they'd do fine. When people hear Obama praise the worst President in history, it doesn't do anything to inspire confidence. It just makes them wonder whose side he's on.

[SpiralHawk]

71. "To be honest for once, check. Smirk." - xCommander AWOL

[Uncle Joe]

73. I'm amazed that Obama

didn't hurl vast quantities of undigested material when he uttered those words.

Bush didn't and doesn't give a rat's ass about the the troops or the nation; outside of his corporate supremacist worshiping, mega wealthy base.

Bush was a corrupt, incompetent usurper; coming to power via coup and willing to abandon the people of a drowning city to his own pettiness, fear and hatred, I view Obama's praise of Bush as a shame on Obama.

Thanks for the thread, rug.

[LibDemAlways]

93. I view Obama's praise of Bush as either the empty words of

a bought and paid for politician or the sincere words of someone residing on the dark side. Either way demonstrates contempt for the troops and the nation. Shameful, shameful moment in Obama's Presidency.

[urgk]

74. At most, a distant second to his love of profit. (n/t)

[wizstars]

75. Count me on this. the POS only cared about enriching his buds.

and perpetuating his evil empire. Double ditto Cheney and the PNACers.

Fuck 'em all. And the horse they rode in on.

but I can't help but think that he may "love" the country now, since he and his friends got away with so much and didn't get punished.

[woofless]

80. Here.

[bushisanidiot]

81. AWOL Bush has NO LOVE for the troops or the U.S.

That being said, I do believe that President Obama HAD to mention him in that speech as a political move.

the idiot freeptard tea bagging "mainstream media" was clammering for Obama to throw AWOL Bush a bone and they would have torn him to shreds today and all this week over it if he hadn't done it.

I think our President's speech was outstanding and I give him ALL THE CREDIT for ending the war in Iraq. It should have NEVER BEEN WAGED TO BEGIN WITH!!!!

89. Bush is a disgrace as a human being

Was a horrid President, and his delusions of grandeur prevent him from caring about anyone but himself.

[whathehell]

87. Major check-in here..n/t

[gulliver]

88. Asking whether Bush loves the troops is kind of like asking...

...whether the toothless, heroin-abusing hobo your daughter brought home as a boyfriend loves her. He probably does.

Bush undoubtedly considers himself to be in that hallowed "band of brothers" one gets to be in by fighting for the country. Bush loves his brothers. He didn't like fighting so much, but at least he had the wardrobe.

[amyrose2712]

90. I don't question it. I'm positive it doesn't exist. nt

[FiveGoodMen]

92. I don't question it; I'm absolutely certain that Bush doesn't give a shit about anyone

[Thornleylv]

99. YO Bush!

[LynneSin]

100. I do not doubt that Bush loves the troops but I feel like it's in some sort of perverse way

like a stalker's love for some celebrity they follow around 24x7. I mean we know they love that celebrity but it's kinda creepy and not very productive.

[DesertDiamond]

101. Love the troops??? Yeah, he had a great way of showing it!

The only thing Bush had a love for was his war profiteer buddies.

115. A President Who Claims to Love the Troops so much

Should at least have the decency to provide them with the proper equipment, not sell them out to your cronies (Haliburton), and, oh yeah NOT SEND THEM TO DIE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

[AnArmyVeteran]

116. Laura Bush "No one suffered more than 'George' did during the war".

BUSH's TRAIL of MISERY
The Bushes are a consistent clan. From Barbara Bush's 'beautiful mind' comment to Laura's mindless statement saying her husband suffered more than all of our soldiers is just too much. She actually believes her husband suffered more than the 33,000 mutilated soldiers who lost limbs, eyes, mobility and their spirits.

And Laura Bush believes her psychopathic husband suffered more than the almost 5,000 soldiers who died, not to mention the tens of thousands of relatives and friends of the fallen soldiers, each of whom had their hearts broken forever. And Laura Bush thinks her husband suffered more than the hundreds of thousands of slaughtered and injured Iraqi citizens.

From one end of the Bush clan to the other there is one consistent thread, a soullessness and heartlessness only shared by sociopaths and psychopaths. The trail of misery left by evil people like Bush stretches from all of those human beings who had their lives ended or forever changed by Bush's wars to the savage and inhumane economic war against the most vulnerable people in our country.

I never thought such evil could ever ascend to the highest positions in our government. And the same kind of conservative republicans want to continue Bush's assaults against their fellow countrymen, even wanting to start new wars abroad.

When will democratic leaders find the courage to tell the truth about the enemies within our own borders and when will they begin to fight back?

[barbtries]

[Duval]

118. Count me in!

[Permanut]

119. Checking in...

The idea of Bush loving anyone or the country is absurd. Same with Cheney, Rove, et al. Difference between him and his handlers is that he's also dumb as a bag of hammers. With apologies to hammers.

[arbusto_baboso]

120. I don't question it. I KNOW he doesn't give a shit about the troops and/or their families.

No AWOL bastard like him ever could care much about that.

[lebkuchen]

128. Bush has disdain for the troops

He's a sick puppy. If Obama feels sorry for him, that's his problem. I don't.

[RoccoR5955]

129. The only thing that Chucklenuts loves about the US is

its money, and the way that he can make it without breaking a sweat.
Darth Cheney, on the other hand, has an orgasm each and every time a military person is killed or maimed.
These guys don't give a gnat's testicle about this country, so long as they can make the big bucks, and get over on everyone else. They should be in jail, but because Obama is a pushover, they are not.

[Plucketeer]

130. Bush never DID care about them!

I could believe he thought they (the troops) were little, green plastic, expendable figures. Stand 'em up - knock 'em down - stand 'em up again. And when you spoil one to where it can't be used again, hide it's disposal from sight. BUSH: Despicably disgusting dolt.:dunce:

140. His love kept him those Military funerals. Love for the troops, his country, & single malt scotch.

We can have all the pissing contests we want about what Obama said, but what he said was "no one could doubt Bush's support for U.S. troops, his love for the U.S. and his commitment to the nation's security."

President Obama, I'd like to introduce myself.

My name is "no one."

Nope, he never cared. I'm a former active duty nurse, was married to a vet who went to Iraq and Afghanistan, and am thoroughly grateful that my son, who goes on active duty later this month, will have as his Commander-in-Chief a man who deserves that title. I think he was wrong to say what he did about Bush, but he does deserve the title much more.

[hay rick]

175. He loves all the people he gave a nickname.

He was the nicknamer in chief.

Much as I despise everything that his administration wrought, I think GWB's primary failing was that he was clueless. He may have felt love for the troops, but that didn't mean he wasn't willing to send them off to fight a pointless and foolish war. I think he got suckered into the neocon cause and then went into denial when the WMD magically disappeared. As for love of country, he turned the country over to "his base"- the have mores- and never did figure out that they used the wars and de-regulation to engage in an orgy of looting.

Doesn't make him a bad man...just a catastrophically inept president.
