Barbara Bush On Obama's Reelection: 'People Spoke. Move On, Get On With It'
WND ^ | 11-15-2012 | Melanie Warner

Former U.S. first lady Barbara Bush said on Thursday that she's ready to move beyond this year's campaign season, in comments that came at an Austin conference the week after President Barack Obama's re-election.

"I'm tired now of the elections," Bush, who had endorsed Republican Mitt Romney, said at a forum on America's first ladies. "People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly."

Bush, sporting a double strand of her signature pearls, joined former first lady Laura Bush on a panel for the Enduring Legacies of America's First Ladies conference at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library.

The first ladies avoided offering political opinions, but Barbara Bush did issue a stern warning to both Republicans and Democrats.

"They are going to have to compromise," said Barbara Bush, the wife of former President George H.W. Bush. "It's not a dirty word."

Barbara Bush is the epitome of the Rockefeller Republican. As liberal as they come, with a haughty northeast patrician attitude. Compromise means sell out conservatives, i.e. “Read my lips”, which guarantees defeat. I can’t stand the old cow.

Compromise has been good to Barb, allowed her to live a very affluent, comfortable and secure life. It’s no wonder she feels its not a dirty word. Conviction and steadfast resolve may not have been so lucrative for the Bushes. Just sayin...

Oh, she gets so many more FRIENDS that way.

Spit. What happened to the days when they cared enough to duel with pistols in Congress?

LOL! Hey, just throw something out there and join in. Anything along the lines of an elitist RINO theme will do. :)

Correction: 50% of the "people spoke". The other 50% are pissed off because the know the election was a ripoff. A banana republic fraud that THEY are going to have to pay the consequences for.

“Get on with what?”

That would the ‘New World Order’ that her husband spoke of so often.

Go away, Mrs. Bush.

What do you expect from an East Coast elitist RINO?

I think you are a lovely person Mrs. Bush, and was proud to have you as a First Lady. Respectfully I disagree with you about the election though, as I think this country’s elections are as above board as the typical African or Latin American pesthole anymore. But I will ‘move on’ as you say...a man without a country, because if Barack Obama and his constituents are what passes for Americans anymore I’m no longer interested.

“The ruling elites have spoken”

I do not accept the authority of the global elite class represented by the Bush family and others who desire to rule a free people. I proudly fly the 13 star Betsy Ross flag with the stars arrayed in a circle. The Founders have my respect, not the usurpers who would gladly take my liberty.

Actually, Obama does not have to compromise, the Bush Bots will do all of that for him, he needs do none.

“Dear Barbara, shut up and go away”

Isn’t she the First Lady who was quoted as telling Sarah Palin to “go back to Alaska?”

I’m so freaking tired of the North East-Harvard-Yale a$$holes who have ruined this Nation.

Mrs. Bush: “Go back to Connecticut!”

[ ‘People Spoke. Move On, Get On With It’ ]

Thats true..... except for the massive voter fraud...
And that VOTING DIED on November 6th.... dwarfing Bengazi and Tarp.. etc...

Voting henceforth in the United States federally and in some States and localities will be done by MORONS..

Getting on with it.. asks the important question...
What do you mean by “IT”?..

Barbra hanging from a gallows comes to mind..
in company with a few more useful idiots..

Actually what she meant was......we have so much money that Obama’s policies won’t hurt us. The rest of you? Too bad.

“Stupid old leftist establishment GOP biddy.”

That is why I call this nomenklatura the “Geriatric Old Plotters”.

“Another old globalist wanting to see the New World Order before they go time expired. I bet aged scum like David Rockefeller and Soros are salivating because the finish line is coming into view. I hope they all croak before they see what they’ve been working for come to pass.”

I hope they live to face the tribunals after they fail.

So says the woman who can go anywhere in the world for medical treatment and is largely removed from the impact of Obama’s policies.
