Bush won't join attacks on Obama

How does my saying that I developed early mean that I am flattering myself? That makes no sense.

the word "flat" is in flattered, so it doesn't make sense to me either. :mrgreen:

While I'm happy now, I HATED it back then. HATED it. It was torture for me to hear them call me the "Himilayas." I know I am spelling that wrong.

I would recommend avoiding this line of argument with GottaHurt. Seriously dear, you don't need to let him drag you into the mud.

You're the DP Forum attention whore. You're always trying to squeeze your tits into threads.

Like I said, I've seen your pics, don't flatter yourself.

Maybe he isn't informed enough to make an assessment on how Obama is doing. ;)

I was happy to read about this earlier today and see how he and Cheney are complete opposites right now.

Or maybe because he is in no position to critisize anybody :lol:
 
Honestly I think Bush just wants to fade away for a while.

Bush has been in the spotlight for so many years and I would imagine that takes a toll on anyone.

Whether he is remaining silent about Obama out of respect for the incoming president or some other reason, it is the right thing to do IMO.
 
Former President George Bush refuses to attack Obama. When giving his speech in Calgary on Tuesday, Bush said that Obama deserves his silence, and deserves an opportunity to deal with our nation's problems. Bush also said that, if Obama would like any help, and if he agrees ideologically with Obama on an issue, he is willing to give it.

I will say this right now - Thank you, Mr. President, for choosing to put partisan politics aside, and for choosing the well being of America over hackery. Rush Limbaugh could learn a thing or 100 from you. If you had been like this during your presidency, instead of the "my way or the highway" approach you ended up taking, I believe things would be much different now. But hindsight is 20/20, so I will end this post in a very simple way, by saying "Well done". And yes, you ARE a patriot, Mr. President.

Article is here.

This part of the post left me scratching my head. Are you seriously suggesting that a sitting president facing stiff opposition from his opponents, as well as crises around the world, should behave in the same manner as former presidents who are traveling on speaking tours and raising money for his library and charities?

:shock::shock::shock:
 
It is going to be so much fun watching you and others like you suffer for the next 4 (and hopefully 8) years like I did for the past 8 years. Karma's a bitch. :rofl
Except we aren't suffering, we are making plans to counter the personal damage that the current government setup, we are laughing our asses off when Obama voters are shaking their heads and realizing what "change" means.

Never mind that even if GWB HAD put 'partisan politics' aside, the Democrats would not have followed suit.

Uh oh...someone's jealous of the pretty girl...:2bigcry:

And exactly how do you reach that conclusion? That's a pretty sweeping indictment of "democrats."

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the clear with us or against us stance the administration took. If you didn't vote Republican. You were helping the terrorists.

That's what former presidential tradition dictates and is a mark of class, so I agree with it.

Rush is an op-ed commentator, his opinion and voicing it is his job, so there is no equivalence to former president Bush's silence. Also, there are hints of the "my way or......." attitude coming from some aspects of the Obama administration as well, agree or disagree with a presidents politics, as long as what they are doing is legal and they are upholding the constitution(which is a lost art these days) then a decisive decision is doing their job in my opinion.
 
Not prophetic at all. The gist of her statement was a comment on the fact that your own hyper partisanship will be the cause of your own suffering.
I never see him backing things from either side of the aisle, mostly I see him siding with constitutional law and protocol of changing it.
 
And exactly how do you reach that conclusion?
Their behavior since at least 1980 (and, honestly, it is likely from WELL before 1980). No matter what anyone from the other side does, the Dems contonue to push their agenda, without compromise - all the while, expecting the other side to either let them do so (when the Dems are in charge), or with the expectation that the other side will compromise and let them (the Dems) move their agenda forward.

Bi-partisanship, to a Dem, is to let the Dems have what they want.

(Note that the use of the term "The Dems" is general. There are, of course, specific exceptiions that do nothing to disprove the rule)

That's a pretty sweeping indictment of "democrats."
And well-deserved at that.

Exactly. It's funny how the slapnut liberals critisized Bush every minute of everyday. Now they're trying to defend Obama and his more of the same.

Same Iraq policy. Same Afghanistan policy. Gitmo is alive & well. Same slapnuts "fixing" the economy.

Wait, there is some change.

Terrorist is now Man made disaster :lamo

Oh, and they're spending $30 million to save the habitat of the salt marsh harvest mouse.

Yep, the slapnut liberals saved that from foreclosure :doh

Bush doesn't need to attack Obama. The community organizer is Epic Fail all by himself, as his numbers indicate.
 
Bush would have done this regardless of how his Presidency panned out. He is a principled man, that cannot be denied, unless, of course, you're a leftist partisan.
 
Oh brother. You are incapable of writing a post that isn't full of hyperpartisan anger. I feel sorry for you.

My first sentence in my prior post in here was a joke, by the way.

I just realized the insult you just gave to Dick Cheney. Priceless. :mrgreen:

You and Lerxst have to go back and find some game.

I am a partisan.
Conservative.

Though a partisan, I'm not blind or hyper.
Proof?
I've agreed with Obama on one issue, and he's been in office 60 days.
If I were hyperpartisan or blind I would have ignored the issue.

And youz guyz?
Did you or Lerxst agree with Bush in his last 7-years?
Once?

As for Cheney, you probably got all excited at the prospect of him and his comments.
Correct?
Let's see, Bush was President. He conforms to unwritten protocol.
Honor.
The Clintons need it written in stone because they have no honor.

As for Cheney, he could still be president.
Which makes him an active political player.

Like Algore.
Though he's a twit of impressive proportions, we never said he was trashing tradition by speaking.
He was not the president.

Good try guys... Lerxst and aps.
Try, try again.

Joe Walsh must have had you in mind when he wrote that song "Big Tits". :mrgreen:

Everything out of the Obama's mouths, regarding Bush and his family, and how the transition was handled seemed to implicate this. Bush understands(more than any jackass here, including myself) the actual duties and stresses of the office. He also knows whats going on, more than anybody here and he understands that him mouthing off about his differences with Obama, will not be productive for this country, or Obama's administration in any way.

There is no game needed here, you are absolutely hyper partisan.

Though a partisan, I'm not blind or hyper.
You absolutely are.

Your posting history here is fairly sufficient.
I've agreed with Obama on one issue, and he's been in office 60 days.
If I were hyperpartisan or blind I would have ignored the issue.
Not necessarily.
And youz guyz?
Did you or Lerxst agree with Bush in his last 7-years?
Once?
I voted for Bush in his first election and basically towed the party line for the first few years of his Presidency. Bashing Bush or not bashing Bush is not the definition of partisanship or hyper partisanship.

Good try guys... Lerxst and aps.
Try, try again.
Yeah, okay.

Bush has always been "that way"; you just refused to see it in your highly emotional anti-war/anti-Bush state of mind.

Suggesting that Bush had a "my way or the highway" approach requires willing denial or the suspension of reality.

Bush had the most bi-partisan policies of any President in recent memory; yet you falsely claim he shoved his legislation down everyone's throat.

Do me a favor; show me something that was "my way or the highway?" It should be amusing watching you desperately dredge something up from the dark recesses of the silly blogs you inhabit.
