President Obama calls former President George W. Bush ahead of iraq speech
NY Post ^ | 8-31-10

Posted on 08/31/2010 10:33:44 AM PDT by STARWISE

President Barack Obama called former President George W. Bush Tuesday hours before he was set to deliver an Oval Office speech on the drawdown of U.S. troops from Iraq, the White House said.

Obama made the call aboard Air Force One on his way to Ft. Bliss, Tex., where he will visit U.S. troops.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said the “private” call lasted “a few minutes,” but declined to give further detail.

Obama telephoned Bush in February 2009 before announcing his plans for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

He makes me sick.

Yeah........me too.

I just hope he doesn't make us all dead.

If I didn't have the Lord, I would really be afraid about the future because of this punk boy king. But I know he will pay for his sins and his crimes in the end, and that keeps me going.

(as it does my van, btw. ;)

LOL! I had NO DOUBT about that!

BTW, do you remember the 2nd to last picture in my post #142? It was taken 11-05 in Alaska when President Bush addressed the Troops before going to Osan Air Base in S. Korea. We all discussed the intensity of that young soldiers gaze on the Dose, IIRC.

I just looked at your post and saw that amazing photo again.

It says SO much about how the troops felt about their Commander in Chief (when they had a CinC!).

The look on that young soldiers face is almost one of adoration.

AWESOME photo! Thanks for including it in your post.

Oh........and we just drove that van to DC (to help son move there), and we got a BIG thumbs up from a driver passing us.

We're not the only ones, Justa. If I were a betting woman, I'd bet we're in a pretty big majority by now. WE just knew it before some of the other folks figured it out.

I have said a number of times that if I wasn’t a believer I would be despairing now. But-—we know the end of the story-—and that keeps us doing what we have been called to do.

You have that just exactly right! When I'm feeling down I go through my picture files and recall better days. I have many of our wounded warriors at the White House or other meetings with OUR President that they sent me. *sigh*

Amen! The battle belongs to the LORD! We just need to be obedient and trust HIM.

(Not so easy!)

Moving another child, huh? How long will he be there? Tell him to be careful, it is a cesspool!

Did you also attend Beck's Restoring Honor rally?

I'm so glad that OUR President.........our troop's President........is still involved in their lives.

That video of his greeting the troops coming home at DFW was a tear-jerker.

The men and women in uniform know. They know that President Bush respects and cares for them, and that the Marxist Punk Pretender doesn't care if they live or die.

He knows it. :)

We couldn't go Saturday because we just welcomed our baby home from Asia.

(Can't keep these kids from roaming all over the globe! LOL!)

Every day I am more and more proud of OUR president. He shows
over and over that he TRULY loves the troops and the people
of America!

Oh, for a 3rd term! *sigh* I imagine he’s enjoying himself
too much, though! LOL!

Yes, Zero accuses him of all kinds of horrible things and
then rides on his back when he needs a lift in the poll #s!

I agree....LEAVE OUR PRESIDENT ALONE! The difference between the two couldn’t be clearer!

Can we have a 3rd term now?

He should have added...”My welfare is fundamentally dependent on all of the People being on welfare”- Barack Hussein Obama
