But then again, what Libtard didn't ever have things ass backwards?

10/10, Mr. President.
Flawless trolling there, sir.

Since everything that Commander Cuckoo Bananas has touched has turned to gold...

...wait you're telling me he's been wrong about EVERYTHING!?!

Politics of fear. You've proven you're great at it Mr. Bush, so I would expect no less from you. If you have nothing good, intelligent, and sound to offer, scare the voters into voting for you and your party. God knows you can't win a legit election based on your actual record.

"I'm just a simple president."

true dat.

Bush added he doesn't think people know enough about Obama -- but wouldn't comment on why, if that's the case, so many are supporting him.

Once again, the cheese stands alone.

The best thing about this election is that I can take a few moments out of the day to forget that this asstard is leading our country.

Then this news story comes along. Thanks.

don't we have daycare programs for adult retards? to keep them out of sight, so they don't get us depressed all the time?

If Bush thinks the guy will be a disaster as President, that's pretty much the best endorsement Obama can get.

"But Barack Obama doesn't need any foreign policy advice from the architect of the worst foreign policy decision in a generation," said spokesman Bill Burton.

Oh, snap!

Bush - Always talking, always irrelevant. STFU.

Given that the GOP's now ridiculously attacking Obama, how's that "THE GOP FEARS ME!" meme going for you now, Hillary?

It was a decent interview, and Wallace pressed him.

But his answer to the question shows that these guys have no clue how to attack Obama.

He may as well have said "Obama? Isn't that the Muslim candidate?"

embraced is right, he's trying to give him a hug

Ground_Hog: Bush - Always talking, always irrelevant. STFU.

Sadly, though, he isn't irrelevant at all.

Too many of these in the country for it to remain a free democracy. Game over. Bleat for me sheepy.

... While Bush still ass-kisses Saudi Arabia, home to Jihadists. Afghanistan and Iraq were masturbatory exercises to avoid deciding between easy access to dinofuel and actually reducing Islamic extremism. So long, Dubya, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

I Said:

No, it wasn't. Chris Wallace is in the pocket of Neocons. From the transcript:

I want to follow up on that. Whether it's interrogation of terror prisoners, the intercepting of surveillance among al Qaeda members, are you ever puzzled by all the concern in this country about protecting the rights of the people who want to kill us?

Don't get more loaded with propaganda than that.

until we wake up and realize that we don't have "allies" in the middle east and they would all be happy if we were wiped off the face of the earth, Obama will embrace Iran and Bush will embrace Pakistan.

and they would both be horribly wrong.

I submitted this, but with a less funny headline.

/1+ subby

I thought it was generally seen as bad form for sitting Presidents to criticize potential candidates.

boomaze: No, it wasn't. Chris Wallace is in the pocket of Neocons. From the transcript:


Did you watch the interview? He pressed him on the economy, called Iraq a failure, and asked him to explain how he'd expect a republican candidate to be successful after what he's done. Also, that shiatty Obama answer only came out because Wallace asked him 3 times for a straight answer.

Yeah, it was a decent interview. Wallace may work for Fox, and I know we all got angry at the Clinton interview, but he takes republicans to task as well.

Thanks for using your established expertise in foreign policy to shed light on a candidate of the opposing party, George. I can see that you have no ulterior motives for making this statement.

Where did Obama say he was going to embrace Iran? He said he is open to dialog. Selling arms, financial aid, ect (What we do with Pakistan) is embracing.

He's spent 7 years in "bad form". This is peanuts.

Pakistan is a government that only vocally supports us while the people loathe us.

Iran is a government which loathes us while the vast majority of their people love us.

I'm more inclined to think we should focus any surgical operations on al Qaeda outlets operating in the former, while doing our best to peacefully convert the government of the latter.

ndotseth: Pakistan is an ally

Then why is Osama safely holed up in Pakistan?

Caesar1313: I thought it was generally seen as bad form for sitting Presidents to criticize potential candidates.

Since when has Bush worried about bad form? This just shows how terrified the GOP is of facing Obama in November.

To be honest, I read the interview transcript. half of it anyway. I will go read it again cause I must of missed any of the pressing. I'm actually amazed to hear that. And I never got the whole thing with the Clinton interview. Bill overreacted like a teenage biatch.
Wallace is a hack, but in fairness, aren't they all anymore.

Caesar1313: I thought it was generally seen as bad form for sitting Presidents to criticize potential candidates.

Since when? With only two exceptions that I know of, every election has a potential candidate that either is the sitting President (in which case, how could it be bad form to criticize his opponent) or is the sitting President's Veep (in which case, it would be considered bad form for him not to support his colleague and criticize his opponent).

/now, it may be something that's it's considered bad form for ex-Presidents, say HWBush or Bill to criticize potential candidates...

Iran was ripe for big (positive) changes right when this asshole went nuts and fukked it up. HE DIDN'T WANT a free Iran. I know I sound like one of the crazy nutjorbs, but Bush should be arrested and tried. Just terrible.

I actually read the transcript and literally just now saw the interview on. I'm pretty quick to write off Fox news contributers, but I've seen some of his other interviews. Maybe it's in the light of Fox News standards, but he's decent.

/Yes, though. They are all, sadly, hacks.
//Does anyone know of another interviewer who presses the pres.? And don't tell me Wolf Blitzer, Bill-O, the young douche who fellates him of Fox, or Larry King. Their interviews sucked.

No, both you guys are living in the past when Americans at least demanded so sort of fake decency from presidents. Hasn't been that way for quite a while.

hmm...i'm thinking this might be an awesome thing for the obama camp. they can refer to the bush's critiques in the same breath as the hillary critiques, kinda paint them with the same brush.

could be sweet. also an opportunity to lay into the man most hated by the democratic rank-and-file since tricky dick got evicted.

Tin foil hat me, but I honestly have to believe that any and all questions are vetted first when any of those guys hits fox. They might try to make it look a little more authentic, but Fox is straight propaganda just like the Nazis (Sorry, i REALLY hate to godwin, but they are the best example so I had to.)

No, I think you're right. But I also think that the president doesn't sit for an interview with anyone unless his guys get the final say on the questions asked. Which leaves the reporter with one choice: try to get a good answer to a shiatty question.

Also, having just watched some of it online, I am reminded of the other tin foil hat thingy I am certain of. Bush is one of two things at all times: On something or mentally ill. I can't belive it isn't brought up more, but you would not look at anybody who handles himslef in that way and not realize something is wrong. The SOTU was frightening. He just laughed at odd times and basically looked like a cocky 13 year old who was high at the debate meet.

I don't think Obama has pledged to "embrace" Iran. He's offered to open discussion and, considering most Iranians love the United States and dislike their theocratic status, it may be an intelligent way to soften relations and change the government over time.

Bush is partly responsible for Ahmadinejad and caused a rift in potential, but it's still there. We're talking about a nation whose people were holding candlelight vigils in the wake of September 11. They're a rather modern and intelligent people who were overtaken by a minority of extremist fanatics.

flavor of the month: don't we have daycare programs for adult retards? to keep them out of sight, so they don't get us depressed all the time?

Yes, it's called the DNC, but they aren't doing it right.

Obama is gonna attack Pakistan?! Oh Noes!!!

Does Bush think that most people are unaware of the fact that America has had Special forces in country in the FATA in NW Pakistan for a while. That American predator drones armed with Hellfire rockets have been flying overhead and targetting AQ and Taliban leadership?

Really?

Wot a freakin' dimbulb that smirkinator is.

Talking to Iran? Like that's a bad thing? Like that hasn't been going on behind the scenes fer a bit? Wot was yer plan Dumbya? To oust Ahaminajihad and replace him with a Shah? That's so been there done that.

Yes he does, and he would be right.

BUSH: It doesn't seem like it to me, but this campaign is plenty of time for candidates to get defined. He is yet his party's nominee.

WALLACE: So why do you think he's gotten this far if people don't know what he stands for?


BUSH: You're the pundit. I'm just a simple president simpleton.

FTFY....... you non-working brain stem possessing muthafukka!

Yeah. And then run out of the room with the tape, fleeing his handlers who will in turn call on authorities to apprehend him because the presidents handlers do have a say in the footage that airs after the interview. I'd be shocked if the contract for the interview didn't include that clause. Also, he, and his organization get blacklisted from many presidential addresses.

This isn't the president addressing the press corps. It's a sit down exclusive with many, many rules involved. And it's not live.

Small anecdote: When I worked for ESPN we shot a video of stephen tyler. It took one month to get that thing aired. Not from a production standpoint, but from his handlers and lawyers going over every second of footage to make sure it showed hi in the best possible light. I'm pretty sure it's more so for the current president.
