White House slams Bushes for Iraq War after ‘blowhard’ dig
NY Post ^ | November 4, 2017 | Mary Kay Linge

Posted on 11/04/2017 11:14:45 AM PDT by Oshkalaboomboom

The White House punched back at both Presidents Bush on Saturday over their criticism of fellow Republican President Donald Trump as a destructive force in the party.

“If one presidential candidate can disassemble a political party, it speaks volumes about how strong a legacy its past two presidents really had,” a White House official told CNN. “And that begins with the Iraq war, one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American history.”

The Bushes let loose on Trump in a new book on their careers and presidencies, “The Last Republicans,” said media reports.

“He’s a blowhard,” said President George H.W. Bush, who was president from 1989 to 1993.

His son George W. Bush thinks that Trump’s ego and lack of humility could tear the GOP apart.

“I’m worried that I will be the last Republican president,” said the younger Bush, who was president from 2001 to 2009.

Neither man voted for Trump last year.

We who voted for Trump are not beholden to the turncoat republican party... we just want our country to survive 8 yrs of obama and too many years of elite establishment political control... we want our country great again.

At the time, I remember hearing Rush call W “Reaganesque”. Rush was relaying that he spent a good deal of time with W, playing golf, and came away with that impression.

At the time, having disliked GHWB, I was not enthusiastic about W. But back then, Rush did influence me. Because he said that, it regretfully swayed me to grudgingly give W the benefit of my doubt. I wonder what Rush thinks about those Bushes now.

Well said, Oshkalaboomboom.

Maybe both traitors, Bushbama and Shoeshine Boy, should be bunkmates at Fort Leavenworth.

Striking how similar their faces are.

It's a very old trick, which many had long ago figured out, by the time W hit the scene.

What probably helped instill that misled thinking, more than W's speeches, was Rush shilling for him...constantly and patting himself on the back, for having actually meeting "privately" with W; unlike his listener peons.

Bush 41 played the same dumb game, but nobody who was paying attention believed him., since it was common knowledge that Poppy had been foisted on Reagan with an "or else" backroom threat.

Shut up, Poppy and W. I retroactively take back my votes for you.

I am 100% behind DJT’s policies and his “behavior.” One hundred percent!!!

Neither Bush stood for anything.


As Steve Bannon said about W: “I can never tell if he’s coming or going”. Perfect description of the Bushes.

He will be the last Bush I will vote for.

He says that like it's a bad thing.

Given the production we have witnessed during the past year, I'd say it damned time for a new party!

The Bush gang are never going to get over the way Trump crushed the village idiot Jeb....and we all thought W. was the slow on. It was a pleasure watching Trump Alpha Dog Jeb all over the stage in those debates.

Nice one! Sounds like Kellyanne! (Steve Miller is in Japan).

I got demolished on this site for being against the invasion of Iraq. My only point was that two front wars are to be avoided. The hate rained down on me like mad.

Oh, and that was all during the run up to invasion. After our guys were there, I had nothing but support.

Well done...You nailed it!

“If one presidential candidate can disassemble a political party, it speaks volumes about how strong a legacy its past two presidents really had...”

I believe this Bush Crap can close the door on the “New World Order” and the Communist “Globalist Order” crowd.

Our challenge since our founding, magnificent men and women “believing and living” the dream have perished. So few now have the courage and commitment to be an “American”.

Our young have been taught and convinced they are guilty because of their race, their thoughts, their speech and their family success.

How better to revoke, impugn and rewrite history of a few “Paper Signers” that gave their lives for a “chance”?

Sad indeed. It cannot be allowed, now can it???????????????????

The Bushes were silent as Obama “Transformed” the country.
The Bushes were silent as Obama weaponized the IRS, DOJ, EPA, CIA, and FBI.
The Bushes were silent as Obama changed the ROE and soldiers died needlessly.
The Bushes were silent as Obama lied and lied about ObamaCare.
The Bushes were silent as Obama traded 5 Senior Taliban Terrorists for Bergpoop.

Now the Bushes spit on America's choice for POTUS.
