And no one arrested him?
"Bush returning to White House" May 31, 2012|Globe Staff
WASHINGTON - This is a little awkward.
President
Obama cannot seem to stop bad-mouthing the record of his predecessor,
President George W. Bush. But on Thursday, Obama is going to welcome the
former president and preside as Bush’s image and legacy are enshrined
at the White House.
The president and Michelle Obama will join
Bush and his wife, Laura, as their official portraits are unveiled. The
incumbent is keeping up a presidential tradition typically defined by
cheer and graciousness, but not without some uneasiness.
Hardly a day goes by without Obama or his aides talking about the mess they inherited - meaning, from Bush.
It
was just one week ago that Obama, revving up campaign donors, turned
Bush into a punch line. Obama depicted Republican rival Mitt Romney as a
peddler of bad economic ideas, helping the rich at the expense of the
middle class, and then added to laughs: “That was tried, remember? The
last guy did all this.’’
Now the last guy is coming back. So, too,
will Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara.
The Obamas will hold forth in the ornate East Room as George and Laura
Bush are honored for their service before an invited audience of Bush
friends and former staff members.
It will be a rare limelight moment for the younger Bush, who has not been back in more than two years.
Obama
and Bush have a cordial and respectful relationship, but they are not
close. Both are political veterans who are able to separate political
tactics from what they see as an overarching community among people who
have served in the Oval Office, according to people close to them.
“President
Bush has been around politics a long time. He’s been around how
presidents deal with each other for a long time,’’ said Tony Fratto, one
of his former spokesmen at the White House.

"Bushes visit White House to unveil official portraits
WASHINGTON - President Obama is building his case for
reelection on the need to avoid returning to the failed policies of his
predecessor. But on Thursday, Obama laid down the political cudgel to
pay tribute to George W. Bush at the unveiling of the former president’s
official White House portrait.
Hailing Bush as a steadfast leader after the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks, Obama said Americans would never forget the image of Bush
standing atop a pile of rubble at the World Trade Center, bullhorn in
hand.
You remember, right?
Doesn't it just exhilarate you, 'murkn?
Who cares about the inside job and the mouthpiece media lies behind it all? Who cares that we have murdered -- and continue to murder -- millions of innocents in the under the banner of a false flag in the name of a plan for global domination?
He also thanked him for his work in making the presidential
transition as seamless as possible.
“Plus,’’ Obama said, grinning at his predecessor in the East Room, “you left me a really good TV sports package. I use it.’’
Pfft.
Politics is all a shit political show fooley, folks.
Bush responded in kind, with a mix of gratitude to Obama and his
wife, Michelle, and a series of one-liners about joining a collection of
portraits going back to George Washington (the other president with the
initials G.W., he noted).
Yup, the founding father of our country and the asshole who put it on the road to destruction.
“Thanks so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging,’’ he
said to laughter.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Bush then praised his wife, Laura, his mother,
Barbara, and above all his father, former President George H.W. Bush,
who attended the ceremony in a wheelchair....
I never wish ill on anyone, but I'm really having trouble feeling sorry for Poppy. Just die already and stop using up vital oxygen.
On second thought, live, damn you. We don't need another MSM spectacle around a presidential funeral.

How did you like the charade?
And just think: in a few months Bush will return in the form of Mitt Romney. He's got all his former advisers lined up for cabinet positions, and the Bush family has already endorsed him.

For the record, I've considered every president (including the current drone-dumping mass-murderer) since Kennedy a war criminal in some form or fashion. That's why they killed him. He wasn't going to go along with the mass-murdering insanity and slaughter.
