Bush Grounds Dems in SC

ABC News’ David Chalian reports: He may be a lame duck with low approval ratings, but President Bush can still have quite an impact on the Democratic presidential race.

Sens. Biden and Dodd’s travels back to Washington, DC from last night’s debate in Charleston, S.C., were temporarily thwarted by Air Force One’s arrival in Charleston, S.C. today.

Baggage handlers were cleared from the ground when Bush touched down on Air Force One in Charleston Tuesday morning in advance of his remarks on the war on terror.

That security precaution caused a delay in loading the checked baggage onto the Washington, D.C. bound flight carrying Sen. Dodd, Sen. Biden, and Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C.

From their seats on board the plane, the presidential aspirants could see the presidential plane land, though it was unclear if they chose to do so.

More claims of executive privilege from President Bush?  Smart message bracketing?  Or mere coincidence?  You decide.

Is Bush really smart enough to be that devious and corrupt? Maybe. Maybe not.

It’s very, very funny that all these liberals rant on and on about Bush’s lack of smarts. Then they hysterically chant the mantra, until actually believing it, that Bush lied to them all about Iraq and that’s why they voted for the war.
Hmmmmm, since he’s so dumb, wouldn’t that make these dems in office very dumb also? And not to mention how gullible to get “conned” by such a dumb man as Bush. Do we really WANT these gullible and “dumber than Bush” dems in power?
