Obama lauds 'Beautiful Mind' Barbara Bush as remarkable.

[Bluebear]

“Like the remarkable Barbara Bush, his (Poppy's) humility and his decency reflects the very best of the American spirit,” said Mr. Obama. “This is a gentleman.”

[Solly Mack]

2. That's a vomit inducing line.

[Bluebear]

5. George and Babs. The BEST of American Spirit.

Holy cannoli.

[Solly Mack]

8. All things considered...that could (seem to) be true. Sadly.

Acceptance of torture. It's OK if the President does it mentality. Teabag politicians elected Governor and in Congress. Extending the Patriot Act...and so on and so forth.


Maybe people like Bush I & Bush II DO represent the true American spirit.

Horrible thought. Because it doesn't say much about us as a people if they do.

[lonestarnot]

48. muh muh har

:puke:

[ProSense]

4. OK, the President lost me on that one.

:rofl:

[Poll_Blind]

6. Pretty standard fare for the President, isn't it?

Isn't it?

PB

[sufrommich]

17. Yes, it is. I think some here imagine Obama should shout out

"war pig" at ex presidents.I also think they must imagine their fellow citizens would applaud.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. I sometimes wonder what world these nutjobs inhabit.

[EFerrari]

58. Let's see: a world where corrupt presidents resign

Frank Church lights up the CIA and Ollie North gets indicted on multiple felony counts?

And to think we were pissed at Ford for only pardoning Nixon. At least he didn't give him a medal.

:rofl:

[Union Scribe]

45. And that's the problem. He's just standard.

[EFerrari]

57. It's standard fare now for our presidents to reward criminality

and fawn over criminals? I suppose it is.

[old mark]

7. ...and no, George is NOT a wimp......nt

[cali]

9. this is just protocol.

I'm all for criticizing Obama when it's warranted. It's not here.

[Rageneau]

10. If it weren't too late, I think Obama might vote to impeach Clinton.

Like the other Republicans.

11. It's like wrestling... they claim to be opponents, but behind the scenes

it's one big group power orgy.

[Bluebear]

15. +

[ReggieVeggie]

13. If a poster contributing to DU said all these things about Republicans

they'd be viewed as a troll, am I right?

[sufrommich]

18. Thankfully DU posters don't have to be president of the whole

country.

[Bluebear]

24. So Obama has to praise vile people because he presides over them?

No.

[sufrommich]

27. Both Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey were awarded

the Medal of Freedom in 1980 during the Reagan administration.Do you take that as proof that Reagan was aligning himself with their policies?

[truebrit71]

36. Nope, just more proof that they are ALL goddamned liars and thieves...

..and members of the same entitled class...we the people are mere peasants..

[Bluebear]

39. Johnson and Humphrey were honorable people.

[cali]

34. bzzzzt

uh, yes. he does. the president has ceremonial duties. it's that simple.

[cali]

19. bwahahahaha.

[QC]

25. Someone just got the boot a few minutes ago for far less than this. n/t

[Bluebear]

41. Do tell?

(whisper)

[truebrit71]

35. Yes, without doubt, they would be flogged and pilloried for making comments like this...

...the fact that a Democratic President is kissing the ass of the republican royalty makes me almost physically ill....

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo done with this guy...

[Union Scribe]

46. Obama couldn't post here anyway because he opposes marriage equality.

[Bluebear]

54. +++

[liberal N proud]

14. He just likes Quaker Oats and confused her with the man on the box

[QC]

26. +1

:thumbsup:

[gratuitous]

16. A war criminal and pardoner of war criminals

I think American can do slightly better than the parasitic likes of George H.W. Bush and his rotten family.

22. Barabara Bush on Katrina victims: "This is working very well for them.”

"Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, “This is working very well for them.”

The former First Lady’s remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio’s “Marketplace” program.

Then she added: “What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

“And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this–this is working very well for them.”"

23. "What I'm hearing which is sort of crazy

is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

~ from the Beautiful Mind of Barbara Bush

[superduperfarleft]

29. Babs is one of the vilest people ever to walk the face of the earth,

but honestly, what did you expect him to do?

[Lugnut]

30. Gag. Me.

:puke:

[Octafish]

31. They love her in the Astrodome.

She was a real hit with "those people" being better off and all.

[truebrit71]

32. I didn't throw up a little in my mouth, I just hurled my brekkie everywhere...

...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS SHIT???


WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY AND WHERE DID THE GUY FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL GO?


AaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[City Lights]

33. The only "remarkable" thing about her is her acid tongue.

It flaps in a league of its own.

Everything about her makes me :puke:.

[Missy Vixen]

37. It's remarkable that President Obama's aides didn't remind him of the following

"But why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" Barbara Bush

It will be my sig file in perpetuity. The woman that said it is not "remarkable". She's clueless.

I would expect more from my President.

[OwnedByFerrets]

38. Birds of a feather......

all presidents and past seem to flock together. Mr Carter is the one exception, afaik.

[QC]

43. Well, she is a remarkably vile study in moral degeneracy.

Maybe that's what he meant.

[Union Scribe]

47. Oh, like when a coroner says "remarkable"

Like when an undigested printer cartridge is found in a stomach or something.

[QC]

49. Precisely. Or like a remarkably developed sarcoma.

Something along those lines.

[LibDemAlways]

44. She's been a member of the elite all her life. She has no clue

how ordinary people struggle. She doesn't know and she doesn't want to know. Her comments after Katrina and about Iraq are unconscionable, but then she's a Repuke and by definition without a conscience.

[orleans]

50. WTF? ugh. n/t

[Mimosa]

51. Keep laughing. The Bushes ARE the Ruling Class. n/t

[Tsiyu]

52. They gave her an honorary degree at U of the South last summer

We all wanted to hurl up here, just knowing she was anywhere near this place....

Then we were all worried the mountain might cave in....from all that evil

[Rex]

53. Corporate Suit lines up his next job.

:eyes:

[Lyric]

55. A remarkably immoral, heartless, ignorant old bat, maybe.

[QC]

56. Why hasn't Hell opened up and swallowed her yet? n/t

[Ganja Ninja]

59. OK It's time to check the back of Obama's neck for a USB port. n/t
