Bush's Fault, and all that.

(Never figured out why people blame him for their own fantasies).

I bet obama will talk non-stop to President George W. Bush about where Bush was wrong, and how he made America so much better. He will also constantly point his finger. Hopefully Bush takes a break from being sober during the flight.

“Obama invited the former presidents to join him aboard Air Force One in a trip that will give them a chance to bond over their shared admiration for the late South African leader who died at age 95 on Thursday.”

They’re gonna bond. LMAO

I could not stand being so close to these racist, shuckin n jivin phonies for a few hours

GW and Laura must have something wrong with them to be able to hang out with Hussein and Moochie on a long airplane ride. Seeing and talking to those those two lying arse grinning arseholes a few feet away would make me sick or too angry within minutes.

IMO, President Bush is a class act.

A person has died-—he can’t do more harm. He was asked by the resident to go.

To do otherwise would be terribly ungracious.

It’s not like his going makes a political statement. When the president of the US asks you to do something, you honor his office (if not the man) by doing it.

So Clinton is going with GW and Obama. Nelson Mandela and his crew have ruined South Africa. Life is worse for everyone there than under Apartheid. Life sure isn’t better for blacks. More unemployment and crime. But they are free!!!!! Free to do what if you are impoverished???

Obama goes to a Communist funeral bad...Outrageous...

Bush goes and a book of excuses is quickly written.

Imagine the Kabuki theater we will live through in the future when some of Obama's murdering muslim terrorist pals die off.

And you know what's funny about other people? Even if Bush turned-down the invitation, they would find something else to bitch about.

“The Clintons are still going. Hillary needs to for the support of the black community in her 2016 campaign.”

Haha, like the black community is going to support the “I’m not going to give you free sh@t” candidate

It tells me there is some understanding that everything is politics; nothing is personal and we’re all friends. We are the fools that believe anything different or should be different.

I think this is great!

They can share the cost of security on the trip. It’ll save us taxpayers $ millions.

Mandela has been “Canonized” by our educational system and the media.

To say anything bad about Mandela would be tantamount to political suicide.
