President Bush: "If I were Senator Craig, I would resign."

[Bluebear]

Oh wait, he never went on television to say that. Never mind!

[brooklynite]

1. ...because George W. bush should set the standard of behavior for President Obama...

[no limit]

2. You are right, that would be unacceptable

I would never support a guy that is for the patriot act, gives tax cuts to the rich, likes to bomb other countries, ignores the rule of law (like the war powers act), and thinks liberals are fucking retarded. Oh...wait.

25. leftunderground.com...

You guys still calling DU "DLC Underground" and "Demogogic Underground" over there?

:rofl:

5. Some people might be confused to think his standards to give huge tax benefits

to the ubber rich was and is the same standard of behavior that President Obama continues.... Same with Gitmo, torture, private prisons, patriot act, but other than that there should be no other reason to suggest such a notion....

[Bluebear]

12. Like extending the Patriot Act? Tax cuts for the rich? "Moving forward" from torture?

Now that you mention it, you have a point!

[stevedeshazer]

3. Point made.

4. Probably too drunk to notice

6. No MSM mouthpiece would have DARED to ask him to comment.

They knew their network would get blackballed from WH coverage. Cheney wouldn't allow Knight-Ridder reporters to be on press planes after they wrote of CIA analysts complaining that WH was cooking the Iraq intel books. Bush never sat down for an interview where the reporter was allowed to ask him anything.

7. Van Jones, Shirley Sherrod, Juan Carlos Vera,

Acorn, NAACP, Family Planning, NPR, Rep. Weiner ... all targets of whoever is backing Breitbart and O'Keefe, all dumped faster than it took to find out what they had done.

I have to give credit where it is due. I have developed a new respect for Breitbart and his gang of rightwing, extremist, ideologue operatives. We haven't won a battle yet.

Bush, otoh, gave medals of freedom to those targeted as war criminals and tortures by the left. He really didn't care what we thought.

Obama apparently does care what they think. I wish he cared more about what we think.

13. Ed Schultz takes time off after calling Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut", Glen Beck?...

After he calls Cindy Sheehan a "tragedy slut", just "apologizes" by calling her a "tragedy pimp" multiple times thereafter. Double standard there too!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn and "Client #9" Eliott Spitzer get nailed after being interviewed speaking more against the banks in Oscar documentary winner "Inside Job". More conservative Christine Lagarde, after also appearing on "Inside Job", appears to have the "inside track" to taking over the IMF job from DSK... And now its rumored that Hillary wants the other big international monetary bank head job (The World Bank). Makes you wonder whst's going on inside these organizations that we should be knowing about.

Now DSK and Spitzer were likely both guilty of these crimes, but you have to ask how many of those working FOR the banksters do the same thing that they did but "don't get caught"...

John Kerry made the biggest mistake NOT suing the swift boaters after that election. That just set the bar so that the Breitbarts of the world declared open season on all Democrats, guilty or not, and sometimes sh*t sticks and sometimes it doesn't. And it's given every chance by the corporate media to do so. Sometimes those getting the "sh*t" deserve it, and sometimes they don't (Sherrod and Acorn). But the difference is that the right wing rarely has the sh*t thrown towards them, and the media of course doesn't report on this discrepancy either, and keeps giving the Breitbarts air time.

I hope Sherrod ultimately sues Breitbart's butt off! It's time that someone takes him down a notch for what he's been doing.

15. Good post. He would be very easy to take down, he's left

drunken, insane rants all over the internet, and he's been caught so often pushing lies and edited tapes, that if anyone cared, he woule have been gone long ago. But clearly Democrats have no intention of going after him so who will? The few times he was caught, it was bloggers, not the MSM or democrats who did it.

Shirley Sherrod is suing Breitbart and Juan Carlos Vera is suing O'Keefe, Giles and I believe Breitbart. But how sad is it that these people were left to sink or swim by Democrats, not one of whom went on TV and spoke out on their behalf. These were good people slimed and smeared by Breitbart and then fired without even getting a hearing. It just makes no sense to me.

And regarding Weiner, what they were doing to him and to his wife and his high school supporters for months before finally got lucky, was actually criminal. Even THEY knew it was and have deleted all their accounts and admitted in interviews that they were worried about 'legal problems' for what they did to Weiner.

I do not understand why Democrats don't go after them, it just makes no sense. And as we know they are more than willing to break the law, as in the Mary Landrieu case and the CNN reporter. These people are dangerous. The Dems said nothing about the stalking and harassment of teenage girls by them, but focus on an adult's personal sex life which would have remained his business if Breitbart's thugs hand not spent months spying on him.

[Raine]

18. NO way he wouldn't throw Weiner under the bus along

with all the rest that he threw under there. Everyone better wise-up, Obama is not someone who has anyone's back.

8. Bush was never allowed to talk without adult supervision.

9. When we elect a Democrat, you'd think they'd be on our side.

[Dragonfli]

14. When we elect a Democrat they are on our side, the problem is Republicans wearing false flags

during their political maneuverings. Many of the neo-lib-New-Dem-DLC crowd are just republicans on a false flag operation.
They are easy to spot via policy, one even sits at the top doing a pretty good impersonation of Reagan while speaking the opposite.

[hay rick]

27. I used to think that. nt

11. Best laugh. Thank you. K&R

16. If I were Obama and I escalated the war in afghanistan, I would resign. n/t

[sabrina 1]

19. Or ordered the assassination of a US citizen.

Either resign, or I would buy myself a crown.

[tomm2thumbs]

17. hilarious, I almost choked on my pretzel reading it

oh wait...

[Bluebear]

20. It wasn't a joke.

[JTFrog]

21. Yes, it was. n/t

[CrossChris]

22. Well sure, he's on the Globetrotters, they're not supposed to lose!

The Washington Generals, on the other hand...

[SidDithers]

23. So very clever...

Oh wait, not really.

Nevermind.

[JoePhilly]

24. You mean Bush didn't answer a question that he was not asked?

And Obama answered a question he was asked ... ???

Oh the horror.

[ProSense]

26. Evidently

the President needs to tweet his penis to reap some of the defense being afforded Weiner.

Why can't Obama be more like Bush?!!!!
