Bush Won’t Attack Obama at Republican Convention

If the Republicans were smart, they would ban Bush from the convention. If he has to appear, it should be right off the bat, the first speaker of the first nite, so he can be forgotten as quickly as possible.

I just love the tripe from Perino about W having “class”….and she said it without a close-pin on her nose! LMAO

Michelle Obama is right about one thing – “America is a down right mean country”, with the Democrats being the meanest of all.

Mr. Barack Obama’s has opinions on many subjects, but has been in very few positions in government where his ideas have been put to the test.
This gentleman, whom I regard in high esteem, is an intellectual who does not have the practical experience required to be Commander in chief or CEO of the United States of America.
This person has one qualification, at this particular time in his life, he can talk, and discuss in a charming manner.
Let him continue his Senate role, gain the practical application experience, then in future years, run for the top job in America.
Talking and promising, is all very well, it has it’s place certainly, but the President of the United States has to consider Congress and the Senate, so the golden voice of Senator Barack Obama does not qualify him to move into the White house with disregard for practical experience of which he has not yet attained.
I wish him well in his future endeavors, but advise him to sit out this particular endeavor and await a future date to continue.
Some thought for the Voters…. Looking for Presidential material in Mr Obama.
Has he got what it takes ..it will be too late after he is elected, and you desire to change your mind.
He is a Lawyer…
How many years has he practiced law, that career is now at an end and he now giving it up.
He appears as a honest person, but he has not been in any position as such to be a proven honest
He obtained some experience in State legislature, but for how long.
He can talk that is true, he is a great communicator, most lawyers are, and he promises much.
But these are just promises none of which may come to pass.
He appears friendly that also is true, politicians are always friendly till they get elected.
Where is all his political experience, that I do not see. How many years has he had in the Senate.
Where does his experience come from to be knowledgeable about our the economy and our country..
Where does his experience come from to be Commander in Chief of all the Military in USA.
Where on earth has all his campaign money come from, he is not a rich man, he does however know some people who to say the least, have a reputation that is soiled and associated with people of ill repute..
He is a religious man, but the church he attended appears to have been one he should have rejected many years ago, simply because of his minister, but he even got married in that particular church by that minister.
I am always particularly interested when someone can raise money in the large volume that he has, and it begs an explanation.
Who does he know and what does he feel obligated to do for that amount of funding, from those that supplied the cash.
There is no free lunch , someone is expecting large favors from this gentleman when he becomes president .
It will be interesting to see the outcome in the future.

No one gives a damn about that Warmonger Bush. He will go down as the worse president of our generation. What has he done over the last 8years to benifit america,nothing.
He’s spent biilions of dollars on a unecassary war,thus destroying our economy.
He destroyed allot of the good will with leaders from other countries.with his i will do whateva the hell i want attiude
More people hate us, and want to see us dead, and this world is a more dangerous place to live in.
He’s freaking horrible. and you people who support and defend him, should burn in the eternal flames of hell right along with him.
Mr.Bush you will be judged by the God, you claim to follow so much. May he condeme you to hell for your dishonorable actions and warcrimes.

So if Perino says that Bush isn’t attacking Obama because Bush has class. Does that mean McCain has no class by her standards?

to Janice:
Seriously? I wish you all the best in your recovery from the stroke you had that led you to care what GW thinks.

What experience? Shooting moose? The state was ready for anyone to come in and end corruption and she should be commended for that. But being part-time mayor of Smallville doesn’t make you experienced on the world stage.
And if you folks are going to go on about Biden being an insider, then you have to look at your own Prez candidate kind of sideways too, right?

No need to attack when the shortfalls of the DNC ticket are so obvious and full of holes. Palin has more experience in budget management and ethics reform, cost cutting, and giving back to the people than either candidate on the DNC ticket. I bet the DNC is missing Hillary today. This is great news for the GOP ticket.

I would rather have someone that trips over his words and does what is right than a fantastic speaker like Obama. At least i know it comes from the heart.
Show me what you can do, because your words mean nothing to me. I have yet to hear one reasonable POLICY that will help the economy. All of my tires are already filled. We need something that is an action rather than rhetoric from him.
I like Obama better than Mccain. It doesnt mean i would vote for him. I am proud to fully support my Commander and Chief, who i will miss.

Is this gonna be like Bush telling us Saddam had nuclear weapons, just one big lie? McCain is a good man, he doesn’t need Bush’s meddling. The less Bush says the better for McCain. My fear is that Bush will now paint Iran as an imminent threat, but who’s listening anyway.

bush couldn’t give a speech about his accomplishments because he would fill up about 30 seconds of the convention. Bush has such a small grip on reality that he can do nothing to bring another republican to the white house look to 2016 before a GOP candidate even has a chance, although palin would look good as political eye candy.

Im proud of our country now that we will have black leadership, black govenment,black power in the White House, and the whites, the spanish and indians will not count any more.

Smart move on Bush’s part. He knows how low his approval ratings are and he has no political clout, Negative comments would only hurt McCain.

This is a great photograph of Bush it will look good hanging in every post office in the country. Put there by the FBI as America’s most wanted criminal.

That’s AMERICA…oops!

There is a lot of ignorance going around on this blog. George Bush hasn’t been the best president but since 9/11 we haven’t had another attack, many have been thwarted and Al Qaeda has run to ground. Say what you want about Bush, you and the terrorist may hate him, but the terrorist respect him. They know that Bush means business. And did anyone go to the bank complaining about getting their stimulus checks? Our economy was booming, even during the Iraq war until Pelosi and the Democrats took over Congress 2 yrs ago. Instead of compaining about your glass being half empty, think of it as half full. We still live in the richest country in the world, we have cell phones, plasma TV’s computers and internet service, and even the poorest homes in the U.S. are bigger than the average homes in Europe. Our military is also voluntary, unlike communist countries. Maybe Michelle is right, but only about the left. Democrats are a bunch of whiny, spoiled ingrates. Get over yourself and just be proud, good or bad, that you live in the best country in the world. Like Tony Blair once said, “You can judge a country by how many people are trying to get in and how many are trying to get out.” And it’s not the people leaving that we have a problem with.
McCain/Palin ’08

He may manage to achieve that goal, if as rumored he cancels his speech.
However HcCain and the Republicans broke another commitment.
See http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5678062
McCain and the Republicans are finally out of the closet. They sell fake dollar bills with Obama’s picture — their own version of the RACE CARD. While the local Republican Chairman says it has stopped and will not happen again; SHE ALSO SAYS NO ONE WILL BE PUNISHED (in another report). Sounds like Republicans condone the action while also seeking cover to me.

The experience argument is overblown and interesting. Of America’s most celebrated presidents Lincoln had never held any office until he became Presdent. J.F.K was the junior senator. The bedrok of democracy as in trial by Jury is that we give everybody a fair chance knowing that there is no perfect formula for identifying competence. Some great speakers are lousy performers but some are great performers. I expect every serious person to seek the understand the candidates. After all at the end we will all live by our choices

Some people never learn. He promised to do the same thing 4 years ago, and did exactly the opposite.

The best thing for McSame,is that Bush would drop dead before the convention.And not make any speech at all and make McSame look like the fool that he is.Any word out of Bush’s mouth is a lie.140 more days of this lying bas*tard..But who is counting???? The WORLD.

I am honestly trying to figure why the dems are blaming GW for “poor handling” of Katrina. Why the negative connotations? Bush urged for evacuation of New Orleans and then proceeded to lead the effort to rebuild the city with billions of federal dollars. Do the dems think he had the ability to “stop” Katrina? This country is so dumbed-down it’s absurd. We had better wake up!

Viva Bush! Yes, I said it you cowards, I’d gladly take four more years of Bush. The Iraq was is won with more troop withdraws forthcoming. Think about the implications of this commitment, please. The economy is rebounding in spite of a plethora of simpletons who thought they were being smart/cute by buying houses they couldn’t afford. Most of the problems in this county were created by our own greedy people. We’ve been given an opportunity to atone for our stupidy and I look for McCain to lead this country and keep us safe.

No, Bush won’t attack Obama at the convention. He’ll let Joe Lieberman do it!
Dirty Harry: The absolute worst POTUS we have ever had, and you have the gall to question why we think it’s all Bush’s fault? Are you actually living in the USA, or are you living in a cave somewhere?
Here’s a couple of points for starters. The war in Iraq was started on LIES; not just “information and non-information”. It was supposed to be a quick “shock and awe” war that would be funded by Iraqi Oil and it wasn’t supposed to cost us anything. Well Harry, take one moment to look at what this war IS costing us: We have to borrow money from CHINA to fund it. Our deficit grows by billions a day while our economy, and our country’s very infrastructure is crumbling. People are worried they won’t have the money to keep warm this winter, while Oilmen cronies rack up unprecedented profits.
Our country which enjoyed a reputation of being fair and just is now viewed as the bullies of the world, which leaves our reputation around the world in shambles. Are you hearing me, Harry?
George Bush and his cronies decided he was entitled to an Imperial Presidency.
He didn’t use the intelligence he was born with, and instead he let his
so-called advisers lead him around by the nose. They made him think he was King and that no one would dare question his wisdom, and because no one did, we now find our country in such a quagmire that it’s impossible to even begin to guess when we’ll ever get back to being the great country we once were.
The Bush Administration has built their policies in a house of cards, and in case you haven’t read the newspapers lately, or watched TV, that house of cards is crumbling as we speak. I actually pity the next POTUS, whoever it may be, because they are inheriting a country that needs to be totally rebuilt from the ground up and all because one snotty nosed brat decided he wanted to outshine his father on the world stage. Trouble is, he didn’t realize he wouldn’t make a pimple on Bush Sr’s rear end!
The only GW hasn’t screwed up is our Religious beliefs, but then again, he DOES have 5 more months to go. Maybe he’ll mess that up for us too and then he can also be known to history as the “Heretic King” of his time.
Sorry Harry, it IS George Bush’s fault that our country is in desperate straits!

Liberals have no morals. They belong to the me and feel good generation. Everything goes with them. McCain will never be like Bush and Bush has no failed policies. He had just gets blamed by Liberals for fema problems when the liberals in charge of New Orleans failed to do their part. After all for years they took the money to fix and improve the dikes for their special projects. And the stupid liberals Blamed bush for that. Liberal media covered up Who’s to blame and the John Edwards mess.

Sorry Harry, it IS George Bush’s fault that our country is in desperate straits!
Posted by: mrspeel ………………everything said by you has been filtered to protect the liberal way of avoiding blame on them selves.All Blame is to put on Bush because no liberal will ever lie to anyone or have a affairs that way the people who have true family values will be liberals. After all liberals are the smartest people in the world.They can walk on water just ask the Obama supporters. They say he is the second coming of Christ.

LOL@ Of course Bush will not attack Obama. What the hell could he say? He’s the one responsible for the last 8 yrs, not Obama. He’s the one with the lowest approval rating of any president.
The republicans have essentially admitted that they cannot win on their own policies. So now they are trying to out-Obama Obama.
All of Bush’s foreign policy changes lately have been in step with what Obama has stated all along. LMAO!!!
Now you have McCain trying to get his “Obama” on and get a “historical” ticket of his own. The thing is, he hasn’t earned it. Hillary and Barack HAVE EARNED their votes. Barack has been campaigning, meeting people, debating, etc., longer than Palin has even been governor. LMAO!!!! Hillary created a real movement by talking about issues that they care about. Palin is for nothing Clinton was for. I was a hardcore Clinton supporter and I am insulted by the idea that these two women are somehow “interchangeable”. No the hell they are NOT! They have nothing in common except a uterus. This just confirms to me how out of touch and simple McCain is. Slap any old woman on the ticket and there you have it! Problem solved! I don’t think so!!
All of a sudden, Obama feels like the safe, reasonable choice, while McCain looks wild and scary.
He didn’t vet Palin and met her ONCE. He just picked her on a whim to “shake up” his ticket. How little respect he has for the American public and how dangerous he’d be as a president.
Country first? What a crock!! McCain put his reputation as a “maverick” and trying to win a news cycle over caring about the American people. Country last, McCain first.

I heard it more than once. Bush’s war took so much money away from important things this country needed, ruining our economy. During Clinton’s administration we had no war and isn’t great the way he fixed social security, gave everybody a job so we had wiped out poverty, fixed medicare, gave us free health care for all, did away with disease. Imagine if Hillary had won, she probably would have had us living forever.

Chief, I know it’s hard for you libs to fathom, but GW may eventually be recognized as the best president in the last century. If things continue to go well in Iraq and the Middle East continues to stabilize, it’s because of the tough policy decisions made and enforced by Bush and his administration. Difficult decisions? You bet and Bush never backed away from them.

GW Bush has to be one of the worst presidents we’ve had with his dismal approval rating, wasteful spending, bad decisions, warmongering ways, etc. If it were legal to throw tomatoes at him when he speaks at the RNC, we’d have a shortage of tomatoes in the USA afterwards. Good riddens.

Bush is a fine president. Unemployment has been under 6% throughout his presidency. His administration appointed the highest level African Americans in our executive branch so far. He lowered taxes on all middle class (and also on upper class). We have not had a terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11. The economy has pretty much expanded throughout his presidency, as it did this past quarter by 3.3%. He has done exactly what he said he would do and not reneged on promises. Iraq has been a boondoggle but McCain seems to have solved that thorny problem. “No child left behind” means I can look up my school’s ratings on the internet with respect to basic minimums that have to be taught, and make school decisions based on that – accountability is good. Vocal hatred on the part of extremely biased leftists bounces off of him, which they hate even more. They get into a cyclone of hatred where they believe that Bush is the antichrist, Hitler, and a killer of children all rolled into one. Bush knows, as most rational people do, that those vomiting hatred and lies are without merit.

Someone once said the voters will vote their pocketbook. I agree with that. Republicans speak of national defense and Dems of the plight of the middle class. I think if you don’t have a strong economy and satisfied middle class the defense of our country will someday have to be against it’s own people. Yes I’m talking about a “rebellion” nobody will say it! But believe me when I say Hard working middle class citizens will take so much before you see some sort of rebellion. It’s amazing how much the middle class will put up with in our great country. It also shows how spineless we are. Politicians in Washington really think were stupid and lazy. Of course they don’t want to spend money in education and social programs. God forbid we see through how they control the masses. Don’t get me wrong please I’m very much American and believe very much in our system of government. But what we have endured in the last 8 years is pure executive abuse ! We all know this to be true. Barack Obama is the right man at the right time in our history and the simple reason is because true Americans will take so much before they rebel !

Hawk: The Media have pretty much already elected Obama, like Tom Dewey.

Who cares what George W. Bush has to say tonight. McSame would have been happier if he didn’t show up at all!
Bush/Cheney should be impeached for the lies and betrayals that they have brought upon this country.
Doesn’t it seem strange to you that the Bush/Cheney administration are now trying to do exactly what Barack Obama wants to do regarding Iraq and Afganistan? Timeline for the troops to come home from Iraq and a build up of troops to Afganistan. EXACTLY what he has ALWAYS said was the right thing to do.
You people who think Sarah Palin has more experience then Barack Obama need to get your heads examined. He is so much more experienced and intelligent. To think that the Republicans are again putting us in another precarious position by making someone who “doesn’t even care about Iraq” the VP nominee makes me speechless.

Bush is going to appear with his sock puppet MCSAME..

Well I guess one more lie about what W will do won’t hurt his “class”. How can you god fearing moral people still follow this man or party? Have they not treated you bad enough to say uncle? Do you have any dignity left? You are truly sad.

As a law student at Syracuse, Biden had plagiarized a law review article , In September 1987, his campaign ran into trouble when he plagiarized a speech by Neil Kinnock, at least we can always tell when he speaks his mind
Speaking about Obama: the Presidency should not be a place for “on the job training”
When asked again about his statement during the debate he said ” I stand by the statement”
Biden – “John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain. ”
“There’s a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent,” Biden said.
“She’s good-looking,” he quipped.
Obama shows off his great judgement with his VP choice
