For a narcisist (Obama), this had to be quite difficult.

I don't know... I'll bet President Axelrod and his aide Rahmbo instructed their Stooge Obama to call Bush. You know, to make it appear that Obama is presidential and bi-partisan. But there's no doubt Obama will take credit for what Bush did in Iraq, and that Obama will continue to blame Bush for all of the failed promises, like the missing 5 million new permanent green jobs Soetoro said he had a "plan" to "create..."

“W” doesn’t need Obama’s validation. He knows he did the best he could with what he was handed, and history will be his judge.

He never blamed Clinton, has never spoken out against Obama, despite their endless heaping of criticism on him.

He’s a better person than I.

Obama: Is George there?

Laura: No, he’s washing his hair.

Obama: When’s a good time? Is tomorrow good?

Laura: No, he’s drying his hair.

He is going to ask Bush to back up the lie he is about to tell. I hope Bush tells him to pound sand.

Bush’s SOFA and everyone knows it.

Obama needs a plus right now cause he’s even lost Krugman on the economy...

Watch Obama play the magnanimous card.

It’s about the only one this chump has left.

*snip*

Bush famously loved his Oval Office rug — designed by then-First Lady Laura Bush — which he said expressed optimism by a design that resembled a radiant sun. Obama took to the rug as well, so much so that Bush confidantes gave hints over the past year that the former president was eager for the current Oval Office occupant to get on with obtaining his own carpet so he could get his back.

Obama’s Oval floor piece is unique in that he chose quotes by past presidents, as well as civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.,* to be part of the design. The five quotes are as follows, according to the White House:

•“The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt
•“The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Towards Justice” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
•“Government of the People, By the People, For the People” – President Abraham Lincoln
•“No Problem of Human Destiny is Beyond Human Beings” – President John F. Kennedy
•“The Welfare of Each of Us is Dependent Fundamentally Upon the Welfare of All of Us” – President Theodore Roosevelt

Keep walking in circles around your new rug, BHO .. hypnotize yourself with the failed lib mantras you love ..

Question for you..if I may...US combat troops/security forces, in this PC era, and with a multitude of media types, all with cell phones and cameras, have to adhere to rigid rules as to how they can, well “handle” suspected terrorists in Iraq. I’ve long thought that the bad guys can only be wiped out when the Iraqis have primary responsibility fro handling their internal security, and can do so withOUT US and international media scrutiny..

I for one think its pretty stupid to tell us He is calling a former President. He is just trying to get more people to tune into speech. There is definitely a motive He hates Bush. Just yesterday He blamed Him again. Now He is calling ,give me a break. I do not post much but this really ticked me off, that's all their talking about.

Hope things go smoothly for you and our troops. Perhaps one of these days you’ll get yourself back to the states as well (Texas has just about the best economy in the country right now...)

I’ve long thought that the bad guys can only be wiped out when the Iraqis have primary responsibility fro handling their internal security, and can do so withOUT US and international media scrutiny..

Excellent point and something we've all discussed since back in '04 when our troops started training their troops. When the Iraqis can unleash their own brand of hell on the terrorists without being bound by PC crap, they just might be able to pull it off. They did a pretty good job working alongside our troops to quell the Sadr uprising in the spring of '08.

Our worry though, is Iran. Those bastards are licking their chops at the prospect of the continued drawdown through the end of next year. And their Sadr loyalists are infiltrating the Iraqi Army and police forces some. The good ones are catching a lot of them, but it it's still a concern. The Iranian scumbags have recently begun launching rockets at the US bases again - probably in preparation for this turnover tomorrow.

So, at this point, the future is murky.

And I fully blame the Democrats for that. Things were moving along at a great clip by '08, but have begun faltering lately.

I hope and pray Iraq is able to stand on its own now. And most of them want to.

“If you are a “conservative”. “

Is the Pope Catholic?

Check my posting history.

“You left out Carter II.”

Obama didn’t call Carter. Dumb as Bush II is, Carter is even dumber.

“Is Osbama a Muslim?”

Obama’s father was a Muslim. He attended a Muslim School.
He panders to Muslims. Muslims can lie to “unbelievers” if it helps Islam. His campaign received large contributions from the Middle East.

Do I THINK he’s a Muslim.
Defintely.

Can I prove it?
Not at this point.

“I know he is a Marxist.”

I think he as close to a Maraxist as a socialist can be and not be a Marxist.

To me, he will always be a Marxist Muslim.
