On FNS, George Bush, knowing full well that the conservative base is cracking apart over McCain—had this to say about Barack Obama:
Bush: “I certainly don’t know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he’s going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad.”

Nice going, Chris. Way to clarify Obama’s position. And you wonder why this country is so screwed up. He doesn’t even have the decency to get the only things “he really knows” about Obama correct. It didn’t take long for Obama to respond to Bush’s falsehoods.
“Of course President Bush would attack the one candidate in this race who opposed his disastrous war in Iraq from the start. But Barack Obama doesn’t need any foreign policy advice from the architect of the worst foreign policy decision in a generation,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

No Trackbacks To “Obama slams Bush after Bush misstates his foreign policy positions“
Who keeps pulling that disgusting little moron’s string? Give him some pretzels and send him back to the kid’s table.
“But Barack Obama doesn’t need any foreign policy advice from the architect of the worst foreign policy decision in a generation,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.
Ouch babe!
Pretty much sums it up.
I don’t know. I think Bush actually believes what he is saying and so does the rest of his party. I mean, these are the guys that “knew” there were WMD in Iraq, that ”knew” they were going to be greated with flowers, and made it appear that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. Bush is just keeping to his true form. Incompetent, backwards, and knows nothing about foreign policy. Huckabee is following in his footsteps. After all, it was Huckabee that stated the Taliban are Iraq. With guys like Bush its no wonder the U.S. is getting its ass kicked.
Nice of bush to not even be able to pronounce “Ahmadinejad”. Hell, even I have learned how to do it correctly.
I love the response by Obama’s team. Great smack down and right on target too.
Bush gave the same line, although worded a bit differently, as the trolls use. “I don’t know anything about him”.
PRAVDA’SChris Wallace show should be called “Softball”. The place where easy questions are lobbed at the idiot pres.Jesus! Why doesn’t Bush just crawl under a rock and stay there. This presidents policies have been disasterous! He can’t be srious. I can’t stand we have to wait 344 days til he gets out of office. It couldn’t be soon enough!
Bush has set the bar so low in his presidency that it makes Huckabee look like he’s semi intelligent.
W forgot to mention that Obama’s a muslim. Totally off script.
By the way, there is a great joke from the movie Full Metal Jacket that Bush can use to describe his “fighting” chickenhawk party. He can change around the wording a bit to make it fit. Something like this:
We’ll be glad to sell you some of the rifles used by the Republican party to fight this “war”. They’ve never been fired and only dropped once.”
im glad bush thinks he is Abraham Lincoln reincarnated… when will he go to the theater?
Wow. You just never know what Cheney is going to say when Bush opens his mouth.
Obama’s spokesperson got it wrong. It’s not the worst foreign policy decision in our generation. It’s the worst policy decision of the past 50 years, at least.
Bush criticized him for wanting to attack Pakistan less then a week after an American UAV killed a top commander in the northwest border region of Pakistan. Within a week of Obama saying that we should open up diologue with Iran, a group of Republicans went to Iran to do just that. Disingenuous much?
below_me, good one. lol.
Welcome to November…minus the Rastus slime.
Can’t believe that it I never thought of HUCK! in comparison to W.
p.o.p., Huck’s a friggin Rhodes scholar in comparison. At least he knows what’s in one book. (Not that he cares much about the overall meaning of it. He just wants to be the biggest Bible thumper of them all. Too bad Huckleberry won’t get the chance to drive that whole movement into the ground like W did the thug party. That’s the only use for Huck: to destroy the movement of religion into politics.)
Does Bush ever say anything that isn’t contradictory? Almost any time this old fool speaks he helps the Democrats and hurts his already fucked up party.
Good boy Barrack. Now what you need to say next is . . . “Look, soon or later your going to have to put your life on the line for something so you may as well start now if we intend to fix this wreck of a country Bush Co has left us.”
The GOP’s only hope of preventing their own mass extinction would have to be keeping Georgie Boy away from a camera between now and the election. Better yet, let him talk, and let his defenders deal with the damage.
John F A @ 19:
Talk about a tall order! :lol:
David Flores @ 12:
I’d go so far as to say it’s the worst foreign policy blunder in all of American History.
The republic slime machine is just getting geared up. That sleaze delay even crawled out from under his rock to be on ABC this weekend. We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. (HT to BTO)
There are only 3 things wrong with the interview.
1. If Bush’s lips are moving he is lying.
2. Chris is a liar.
3. Fox news is a lying propaganda tool.
Bit NOLA @ 16:
I know what you’re saying and here’s why I made that comment. Yesterday Huck was on Meet the Press. My husband was watching it with me. He turned to me and said, At least the guy isn’t a total mental fu*k up like bush. That’s when I reminded him that bush had set the mental bar so low that almost any reasonable human being could cross it with ease. He thought about what I said for a second and said, “Hell, you are exactly right. We have become so accustomed to bush’s shallow thinking and speaking that hearing anyone complete a sentence and produce an idea makes us notice them. Sad state of affairs, isn’t it?
“This world is too complex, the decisions are too important to be trying to, you know, chase your — chase popularity. And as far as history goes and all of these quotes about people trying to guess what the history of the Bush administration is going to be, you know, I take great comfort in knowing that they don’t know what they are talking about, because history takes a long time for us to reach.”-Dumya yesterday
Shorter version- “I hear the Voices sayin’ I’m the Worst President Ever, but, ya know ‘Ever’ is a long ways off”
Bush told Chris Wallace he was just a simple president. At least he got that right!
It’s the Democrat-ic party you ignorant m.f. Why do they let this man out of the White House? He just embarasses himself himself every time he opens his mouth?
It’s just so sad…he has so little intelligence, no grasp on reality, and yet Chris Wallace and his ilk still seem to give him a platform (as they do all the other right-wing nonsense) that plays to the populace.
Sad.
November can’t come early enough.
[Deleted. Advert-Sitemonitor]
Bush isn’t the architect. He’s a front man who does what he is told to do.
PNAC runs America. Behind the scenes as a secret government. They are back in the game with McCain.
Every time MSM puts on Bush, Delay, and Rove they just lose more credibility. But wait, when have they had credibility?
What’s shocking about Bush is that we’re not shocked by him anymore.
He’s lowered a lot of bars. And when he heads back to Texas, I imagine the Crawford drinking establishments will be competing fiercely for his bidness.
Huck can get back to the church, and eating fried chicken, squirrels, etc.
Gluttonous party of freaks.
President McCain. . . . Wolfowitz, Perle, Wurmster, Feith, Libby, Bolton. America will have a second chance to bomb the world into submission.
I had submitted comments regarding this post and both times the comments did not appear. Does anyone know why this was so or was it because my comments were critical of Obama?
Thank You.
34 - Erroll-sometimes comments get eaten. It’s not because you were critical of Obama. It would take more than that for your comments to be deleted here.
Forget precendent on this…it is totally inappropriate for the sitting president to be so involved with party and elections. Doesn’t this guy have more important things to do?
Bit NOLA @ 8:
Hum, Obama is a Christian (United Church of Christ, last I heard)
We would never heard the end of it if a Muslim, Buddhist, Jew, or Atheist was to run for the presidential office.
Heck, last time a Catholic was elected, he didn’t even ended his term with all his brain matter intact.
The only candidate to oppose the war from the start? But I’d read that Obama and Clinton voted exactly the same on every issue. Someone somewhere is fibbing.
seth @ 36:
I think Bush has screwed up just about everything in this world already. Let him have his way with his party. With Bush involved, it will sink for sure. lol
Fox is doing the special interviews to try to improve Bush’s legacy. Ha ha ha! That’s funny.
bush = dumbest fucker ever
a person @ 38:
You need to read more.
P.D. @ 31:
Unfortunately, the problem is that the media in the US now is more like a PR machine. This is, most of the people in the media, it seems, are communication majors not journalist. Two very different approaches.
For example, when Bush goes on national TV and basically says: “I have not fucking idea what I am talking about, but let me pull something out of my arse.” It is the job of a journalist, to inform the people that the president is fucking wrong and provide the counterpoint that would be something like “Well, Mr. President, actually you are wrong because Obama’s positions are such and such.”
However, ever since this dipshit took office he got the kid gloves treatment, and he has never ever have to engage on a contrarian argument. This is no longer a democracy, this is if anything a selective monarchy. The beauty of a democracy is that you get to say “fuck you” to the president’s face, and he gets to take it.
a person @ 38:
And you know, if something’s written down, it must be true!!!
I wonder what the puppet strings are made of so we can’t see them? Monafiliment fishing line perhaps?
Ron @ 42:
Obama’s and Clinton’s voting record during the tenure in which both were senators, was fairly similar. Keyword “fairly”
Obama’s imaginary voting record is however the issue here, alas since we don’t live in Obama lah lah land, it is a bit interesting how a lot of people take his statement as “I would have voted against the war on Iraq” as in “I actually voted against the Iraq war resolution.”
Hillary suck big donkey balls as far as my lefty ass is concerned, however Obama is just talk plain and simple.
We’re screwed either way, GOP, Dem… no person in this race is going to change much if elected. All that we can pray and hope is that the person who takes after Bush is not as bad. Which is not a feat really, and which means that we are settling for such a lowered set of expectations that it is sickening.
fwacbar @ 41:
Smartest fucker ever. He did everything he did knowing none of us had the balls to shoot him in the head. He says the things he does to distract you from the real BS he has cooked up. His words on Obama will resonate with Republicans who will now be prompted to vote just because they believe “Obama = Osama”. It’s that simple. Promoting to the lowest common denominator and doing it, knowing no American is going to wait for him at a rally and put a bullet between his eyebrows.
Dude - you are something else
Yesterday when Huckabee was asked about the fried squirrels and why he fried them and ate them, he said something like, well you have to do something with them. I took from that, that he and his pals shot the squirrels for sport and then justified it by eating them. This is the guy who is all about the sanctity of life, but only human life I guess.
I kinda wish Huck would get his party’s nomination. That would be so much fun.
Let’s just hope that bush leaves at the end of his term and doesn’t have some other tricks up the long arm of his Martial law sleeve.
Ron @ 40:
The sad part is that his approval numbers went up slightly, he is probably the worst president in the past hundred years. And yet, with all the means of communication and information, that were not available to the general public a hundred years ago. This moron still has over 30% approval record.
Think about it, 1 in every 3 Americans is still A-OK with this feller’s presidential performance.
The Dude @ 50:
Sorry I laughed. Saaaaaad.
P.D. @ 26:
Everyone knows he isn’t the President. After stealing two elections, the country hasn’t had one for seven+ years.
Resident ,yes.
So he didn’t even get that one right. Sorry! (Not)
