That Bush is NOT President anymore? or is He? Facing the first real rough patch of his presidency, President Obama and his supporters are once again resorting to a tried-and-true tactic: attacking George W. Bush and thingy Cheney.
In his White House press conference last week, Mr. Obama referred to the Bush era at least nine times, three times lamenting that he "inherited" a $1.3 trillion debt that has set back his administration's efforts to fix the economy.
With the former president lying low in Dallas, largely focused on crafting his memoirs, Mr. Obama has increasingly attempted to exploit Mr. Bush when discussing the weak economy, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the difficulty closing the military prison at U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
As he took power, Mr. Obama promised a "new era of responsibility" that would transcend partisan politics.
"For a guy who campaigned on taking responsibility and looking forward, he spends an awful lot of time pointing fingers and looking backward," said former Bush deputy press secretary Tony Fratto, who has begun defending the previous administration. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jul/29/obama-still-cashing-in-on-bushs-economic-failings/print/Does he really think bashing Bush is going to get his sinking ship to stay afloat. Laughable. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Call it an inferiority complex because it is true. For all his bravado this guy is about as thin skinned as a sheet of onion paper. He is more sensitive than someone completely covered with poison ivy who applies heat liniment by mistake. Bush wasn't perfect but you have to give him credit for being one tough dude who didn't seek adulation.

Those Dems are so thin skinned and that is why they do not like freedom of speech anymore. Their egos are so big that they can not imagine that anyone would have any criticism of them. I heard on the news that someone who had a kiosk at a mall was kicked out because he had bummper stickers that did not flatter Odumbo. After all the flack Bush took and anyone else who was conservative, you would think a normal person would understand it works both ways. They aren't normal though.

Do you think Odumbo gets too much TV time? This smart lady from Iowa sure thinks so.
This story came from Carroll, a small town in Iowa. The story was on Drudge. It had been in the Carroll Daily Times Herald.
A lady from Carroll was angry because Obama was on TV to much of the time and that included all the channels. She got mad and decided to sell two TV sets. When she put her $5.50 ad in the paper, she said she was selling the sets because Obama was on every channel and station and she was tired of it. She wondered if he ever stayed home. She expects to take some flack for her ad but she says: "I'm an old lady and I don't care."
I would love to know if anyone did complain or do anything to her. Maybe her age will keep people a little nicer than normal (I doubt it).

Bush derangement syndrome.
More virulent than the swine flu eats your brains faster than a "B" horror movie zombie.

Yes I also think he gets too much TV time. Remember after the election before he was even president they had this stupid commerical selling a commerative plate and coin with Obama's picture on it. It made me sick!

Calm down Pastor. We all know Obama might have a Harvard diploma, but has the common sense of a sixth grader and the IQ less than your cats.

At first I was complaining about all the time he has on TV , especially when it is stuff to promote his lame ideas, but now I think it may be a good idea. He is really wearing thin with me and I think a lot of people may finally see him and figure out what he is and he may be wearing thin with them too. He does look like he is running out of steam. He does not look fresh and he does not speak well. If we only could get rid of the teleprompter and the men behind B.O.'s puppet position, then it would be all over for him. He really is a bore and he has a bad tempor.
