I agree Pedro. Obama is a genuinely good natured person and probably treated Former President Bush with the utmost respect. It even appears that Mr. Bush and his family was indeed having a nice time.

And I'm not saying that sarcastically as you might have Pedro.

jenna bush still a hottie !!

Just because people don't agree doesn't mean they can't get along. It's called maturity and respect for others. I am very much a Dem but living in Va, most of my friends are Repubs. We agree on some issues and disagree on others but we respect and like each other. Many of my friends are as close as family.

It was a touching speech President Obama made. This man, our President who has faced such insults, such derision, did not and never does allow the pettiness of commoners overtake him. Our President possesses wisdom, patience and is very humble, a combination not found in any other person, much less a politician. WE need to have this President for another 4 years. Already our economy is on the upswing, our working class is on firmer footing. WE need to get a strong Democratic Congress and then watch this country move forward. OBAMA 2012.

btw. Dubya had a hangover.

I'm with you Jan-318400

Typical bunch of egotistical far right and far left comments. Simmer down people, you don't always have to be correct. Truth be told most far lefties and righties are usually incorrect because they can't reason for themselves and need to be spoon fed the party lines they are spewing.

Far left and right vitriol is telling of an individual. Telling of a weak mind incapable of reason and common sense. That and/or a showing of insincerity and elitism. I can promise those of you who are like that one thing. You have little to no idea what is best for most of us Americans. Regardless of what your pea brains tell you.

I think he really did enjoy it! He must also be thinking about the time when he too will have his own portrait in the white house.

Earthgirl:

Get off your high horse. "Commoners?" Really? He's not King Obama, and he's not some messiah that is automatically better than everyone else. He hasn't been able to deliver on several of his campaign promises, even though the Democratic Party had control of pretty much everything for the first two years of his presidency. The economy is getting a bit better, but any person with economic/business experience will tell you that the President doesn't have the impact on the economy that many people seem to think he does. If he can somehow prevent the second great depression (which several forecasters predict in the next 30 years), then I'll be impressed.

It blows my mind how people still think a government controlled by EITHER party could really turn this country around. Partisan politics is killing this country, not saving it.

Jan: Your embarrassing yourself with your uncalled for nasty, insulting post. But then, that's the way of a repub/tparty - YOU are trailer trash, honey, as are the rest of your paid trolls.

Jon: You are right, anger should not rule. I was stuck watching Fox for an hour and the lies and misinformation did get to me; to allow Fox to continue is aberrant. Canada did not grant Fox a license to broadcast in their country because of their "deceitful, biased and misinformation..." March 2011. Prez Obama has put up with horrendous behaviors from so-called Americans and he hasn't allowed himself to be taken in. Now that's an example to follow. Thnx, Jon.

With no regard for the derisive comments above I have to say that Mr. Bush looks touched and downright emotional from this bit of recognition and Mr. Obama seems to enjoy giving it. Good on both sides.

BTW... the civil war is over. As Americans it'd be nice to be united on at least having a civil debate on what we should be doing. Hating the other side and insulting them is not going to make them go away.... they are still going to be there after your rage has subsided and they will still be Americans entitled to the same privileges of citizenship as you are. Having it all your way is childish.

Republicans sure don't mind showing folks their bad side, or their bad manners.

Some of the comments Republicans are making are just low down. Horrible. No class whatsoever!

@ Greg from Okla~totally agree!!!

@Jon-998022

Well said. I believe both of the party platforms have been intentionally dumbed down, composed only of generic ideologies, in order to attract a greater number of supporters. The unfortunate side effect is an inundation of these pea brains you speak of, spewing their hate all over the internet.

Chill out people. It is just some pictures on a web site.

yeah, earthgirl seems to be in a different universe. "Commoners" is not a word applied to proud American citizens, nor has the idea of state censorship quite taken hold in our country.

I just wanted to say that I love the portraits and I can see the nostalgia in the eyes of the Bush family. It was a happy occasion; Laura as elegant and classy as ever and her portrait expresses the dignity she possesses. A happy reunion. And a touch of humor : red, white and blue socks. : )

By the way...the more you people trash talk and bully President Obama, his family, and his administration, the more the rest of us will be pulling for him. So swing away! OBAMA 2012!

Obama/Biden 2012

I'm pretty sure that when President Obama has struggled with a problem he has never asked himself "what would George do". If he had done that, Bin Laden would still be alive and GM and Chrysler would be dead. It shows much class on President Obama's part hosting G.W. like he did, I'm not sure G.W. would have done the same...... Just in case no one has noticed most Republicans are not very gracious people.

Economy's on the upswing?? Where???????

Not that I agree with the posters ignorant comment - but I like how the mod's enforcement of the CoH is like cow pie bingo.

There are times when Americans need to dispense with the vicious political rhetoric and acknowledge the good things about our country and our leaders. This portrait unveiling is one of those times. Best wishes to former President Bush and to President Obama.

I'm sure glad with all the problems America faces currently our "great" leaders; former and present, have the time to take aside and make a ceremony for vanity's sake. Way to go guys. I feel so much more assured our politcal parties are really trying hard to get things right for America.

The greedy A-hole who destroyed this nation. And the disgusting part of this is he doesn't give a $hit. He has some gall showing his nasty, red necked face.

Are you talking about the ones for obama

B-Stevens you are an absolute example of the idiotic people in America. Obama was not the ones who got the U.S. into two unpaid for wars. So, the horns do belong Dubya.

Why do you have to inject your far left hatred into a nice occassion.

President George W. Bush saw this nation attacked on his watch and did an excellent job in responding to that attack.

President George W. Bush did what any other President would ahave done after 9/11. He expanded the military power and influence of this nation directly into that region of the world where the attacks were coming from. No other President would have done otherwise.

President George W. Bush will be judged in history to have been an above average "War Time" President.

Lauara Bush's portrait is absolutely stunning. The former First Lady looks absolutely beautiful in her portrait.

It is nice to see Dems and Repubs getting along. LOL. I love the Bush family. They are very beutiful and classy people. Same for Michelle Obama- i dont agree with some of the things she says, but overall she presents herself very well and I can tell she loves her kids. She is a good mom. I dont like Barry. I think he is a snake. But that aside, he looks nice and seems to be enjoying himself. I think he would be a good host.

I'm suprised the Dubya made a public appearance. Isn't there a warrant out for his arrest and transport to the Hague?

Kevin -- Obama has managed to spend more in his 3 1/2 years as president than every other US president combined... I wouldn't be talking about "unpaid wars"!

He's saving the red horns for the Obamas

So, let me get this straight. Bush did what anyone else would have done. That is, his decisions in this area required no special talent or insight. Yet this record makes him above average? Do you live in Lake Woebegone, where all the children are above average?

@Califboy........"President Bush exudes class and the guy walking next to him is an......a-s-s!"

Are you freaking stupid? George W. cant even pronounce "NUCLEAR"! He got into office by NAME only! He didn't even win the election! He stole it! And, once in office, the man led the cow try by the pulling of the strings held by Dick Cheney! "CLASS"? Do you even know the definition of "class"?
In the way that you are using the word, the term "Class" usually implies a social, economic and/or educational hierarchy.
Well, we all know that Bush has the first two things going for him. Of course, having the name "Bush" gives him an advantage, given his family's history in politics and big money! Again, because of the so called "old money" that runs in his family, he also scores in the category of economics! Do either of these make HIM a "classy" person? Since both of these criteria come from being born into the family "Bush", then I must say that, NO! This does not mean that he has class! The third criteria, being all about the hierarchy in education..........Well, since the man can't even pronounce some of the simplest of words, let alone USE them correctly in a sentence (I have a calendar of W's BLOOPERS that has blessed me with MANY laughs!). I would have to say that he LOOSES in THAT category! Now.......you call Obama an "a-s-s!"......I would like to bring your attention to the fact that President Obama earned a full scholarship to Columbia University and move on to Harvard Law School to graduate Magna Cum Laude, which is awarded to the Ivy League College's top 10% of the school's students! He was also elected President of the Law Review, an honor that is given to the student who has the "Greatest Potential" in the legal field! On the other hand, George W. Bush was C- student at Yale. Only GOD and the men with the money know HOW he even got in to Yale! Bush was the FIRST AND ONLY president with a criminal record! And was arrested AT LEAST FOUR times, for "Disorderly Conduct", DUI's and "Possession of Cocaine"! (You can look all of this up, as it is a matter of public record! "............ I did not set out to personally attack YOU, Califboy! I really did NOT! It is not just directed at you! It's just that people need a wake-up call when they speak up George Bush with respect! The dude is CLUELESS! He was under the direction of his father and more so of DICK Cheney! You can't say that the guy has more class than OBama, even though George is a good old boy and (now that he's out of office) seems like a harmless, likable guy! He was WAY IN OVER HIS HEAD, acting as PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES! I feel sorry for him that he couldn't just be who he really is......a good old boy that you could sit down and drink a few beers with, go fishin' and laugh about his way with words!

And your president is killing innocent victims with drones!!!!

I'm as liberal as they get and didn't like either of the Bushes as president, but they do come across as being nice people.

I do not disagree with you Chukkal nor do I excuse it however, GW is responsible for taking us into two horrible and expensive wars based on pure lies and deceit....

Sic Vita Est,

You might want to change your name to 'Willing fully Ignorant and Stupid', because if you do not think a retaliation was called for with Afghanistan then you should move out of this country because with citizens like you we do not need enemies. As for the Iraq war, even though I do not agree with the reasons we went to war, we did not do enough, as soon as we found out Iran was supplying bombs to kill our children we should have went after them and then would not have to deal with the mess they are giving us now.

or you could say the GWB is responsible for the spread of democracy across the middle east with the fall of Saddam. It was like a domino effect. I think as time goes by that is how history will remember it.

Hmmm, but I'll bet you were all for it right after 911...like most Americans who were p***ed off and shocked at the cowardly acts and screaming for vengeance...if we had done nothing, you would have critisized him for that as well.

BS we would have wound up in those wars regardless of who was president, in fact things could have been much worse if the other guy was in that being Al Gore, there would have been no pieces left of the country for Obama to pick up and piece back together.

That first picture is a cute one it looks like Obama is trying to hold Georges hand and George isn't going for it.

KC: Well might have been nice not to have invaded the wrong country for starters....course, with GW, the bar was always set pretty low....

What "War Crimes?" Could you give us some examples? Maybe one example?

sic Vita est - You said:

GW is responsible for taking us into two horrible and expensive wars based on pure lies and deceit....

Please help us understand how defending an attack on this country from Afghanistan and going after the folks who killed over 2,000 Americans on 9/11 is "pure lies and deceit."

We now annoit you President for a moment. What would you have done if this country was attacked as it was on 9/11? Bite your fingernails and hope it would go away?

@ sic vita est, you must not know the constitution very well. The President can't declare war or say we are going to war. That is not in his power. This country doesn't go to war when the President says so, this country goes to war when congress says so. Congress a.k.a. the legislative branch decides when we go to war and when we don't. Cause they are the only branch that has the power to declare war. So to say it's Bush's fault is kind of crazy and I fail to see how it is.

sic vita est

GWB should have a portrait that reads: WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES

Obama's Flip Flops: Who Is Barack Obama??

Eliza...you truly are what is wrong with this nation! Incompetence and ignorance just like Obama...I guess you all seem to stick together like fly paper...

Me too! He-he-he... yellow cake! What a kidder!

Nikolaus20 -- okay, so Bush wasn't as polished or as great an orator as Obama -- so what? Obama is a great orator in the way snake-oil salesmen were. He's been all rhetoric and Socialism. I'd rather have Bush as president anyday over a FAR-Leftist, HUGE-government loving Stalinist like your boy Barry. Oh, and by the way, wasn't it Obama who said we have 57 states in the Union? And Obama who pronounced the Marine Corps as "Marine Corpse"?

Reminder to everyone: Obama was put in office because people were sick and tired of a moron who just wanted to go to Iraq and finish what his daddy started, no matter what the cost. America had a 1.2 trillion dollar surplus when Bush entered office...he spent that and MORE, running our country into a recession. It's going to take another eight years AT LEAST to fix what W. Bush destroyed.

George W. Bush came from a patriotic American family. That's more than we can say for Obama. Laura Bush is first-class. I saw her speak in Austin, TX when her husband was governor.

Obama was never or will he ever be a leader of anything. He probably can't spell "leadership".

@ Nikolaus 20.

Bush may have misspoken a few times but he knows there are 50 states in the good ole US of A. But of course he was born here.

4 more years of this IDIOT in office will destroy this country. Obama is factually the worst president in the history of this once great nation. What a joke this guy is and has been his entire life. A radical, racist, communist pig. This country made a serious mistake in electing him and cannot afford to do so again. And I don't believe it will. The economy is still in shambles, and he cannot blame Bush. He promised to "fix" everything, and he simply hasn't. That's what you get for electing somone completely unqualified to be the President of The United States of America.

As usual, lots of racist wingnuts hating on the Prez without any real facts to back it up.

gdog: Are you trying to further the myth that Obama was not born in the USA even though his birth certificate was released not just once, but twice, and verified by the Governor of the State where he was born? Even Mitt Romney has said he believes that Obama was born in the USA. It just shows how ignorant that some people can be that they ignore the truth in front of their face IF it doesn't fit their ideaology. Please understand this: If the REPUBLICAN governor of Hawaii is willing to verify that Barack Obama was born there, it means that he WAS BORN IN HAWAII in 1961. Don't you think that as bad as Hillary wanted to be the Democratic candidate that she would have used something like that if it was true???

MKL: Where are you getting your FACTS when you say " Obama is factually the worst president in the history..."? He is NOT the worst President. Right now, he is having to deal with the WORST PARTISIANSHIP that has happened in recent history. Whether that is because he's a Democrat, or because he's a Black man is anyone's guess. He is not radical or racist nor is he communist. He shouldn't blame it all on Bush - that's right. He should put the blame squarely where it belongs - the Republican party for playing all the PARTISIAN politics with the government and budget.

@debnran

Lighten up Clarence, can't you take a joke? You voted for one. I agree the blame for the mess we are in does not solely belong on Obama, it belongs on the congress for the last 7 1/2 years too. Could you tell me who was in control during that time???

Darbob, that is because Obama is a President for all the people and he thinks that 24 hrs a day,,unlike others we have had and just mite have to endure in the future. Obama is a great person and one of the best Presidents the USA will ever have.

To VOLTORO7: President George W.

Im sure youve made hasty decisions in your past an prob will again in your future.. Im sure the Bush family are just as tired of all the partisan bickering as everyone else....An Thats said neither for or against President Obama its just Life.REAL LIFE

Califboy you are an idiot

Um, I believe G.W.Bush's grandfather ran a bank that helped cover Nazi profiteer money and that company was seized by the American government. Also one of the companies they were invested heavily in also sold commodities to Nazi Germany directly to produce their fuel so they could continue killing American and Allied soldiers. Yeah, that family sure is patriotic alright..../wink /wink.

I think ol H.W. was making a statement about who is occuping the WH and got away with it. LOL

Always liked H.W. Bush all AMERICAN MAN. But I got to say I LOVE his jab with the socks.

Royce: Are you privy to an inside joke that no one else knows? Or is this some delusion of yours?

I assume that H W's socks are a coterie jest, or MsLoco may be right - he's sufficiently secure never to take himself too seriously. He wouldn't have pulled a stunt like that at (say) Buckingham Palace or at the funeral of a close family friend, which, of course, is the whole point.

@debnran; Its a pun Obama has a habit of forgetting things like saluting the flag saying the pledge of allegiance, or just being respectful to the flag he is the most unpatriotic president in history, almost to the point you might mistake him for a alien, there have also been some reports of blatant disrespect to the flag. so H W is just getting in his licks with some patriotic socks at him. got to give the old boy some credit on that one.

could it be he is old and waiting on obamacare

At the end of the newscast, they say he is suffering from Parkinson disease. No matter what you think of Sr.'s policies, that's a hard blow to him and the family.

Gonna be waitin a long, long time for Obamacare! The Supremes are gonna strike that Stalinst puppy down!

...because Obamacare is tainted by the Tea Party's usual misinformed castrations. Fortunately, when Obama is re-elected and Congress is back in the hands of folks who actually care more about the country than putting one man out of work, we'll get a real public health-care option like we deserve, untouched by Republican rubbish. That's what the public wants. Not the neutered mess that is Obamacare.

you mean the exact same Stalinist puppy that Romney invented and then was broadened for the nation?

Here are some FACTS about Obamacare: It is far more moderate than its critics would let you believe. The Congressional Budget Office has projected it will REDUCE the deficit, not increase it dramatically as Bush's unfunded Medicare Prescription Drug benefit did. It is based on the individual mandate, an idea pioneered by the archconservative hHeritage Foundation, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney, in the past. If does not have a public option, it gives a huge new client base to the drug and insurance companies. It agrees to allow states to experiement in different ways to achieve the same results. it sets standards, grants incentives, and then allows individual sates to experiment. Embedded in it are also a slew of cost reduction pilot scheme to slow health-care spending, and since federal law mandates that hosptials accept all emergency room cases requiring treatment anyway, we already obey the socialist principle of universal access to private health care. But, it makes the 44 million currect free-riders pay into the system, which is fiscally prudent. There is a reason why the nationally doctors support Obamacare and the health insurance agencies don't. In MANY cases, doctors hands are tied and unable to provide the best treatment for patients, bound by the restrictions of what the insurance companies WILL and WILL NOT pay for. The insurance companies are required to provide care to those with pre-existing conditons, allows students to stay on their parents health insurance until age 26, provides us with free health, OBGYN and others exams yearly for preventative measures -- which decreaes emergency room costs and the cost of the system. It makes certain that when we get sick, we have insurance, and don't have to fight for treatment as so many Americans are doing each day. An estimated 15,000 - 20,000 Americans die each year because of insufficient health insurance coverage and consequently, lack of treatment. The law isn't perfect but it worked in Mass., and can work on a larger scale. You don't like it? Don't get sick. And if you do, you for-go your right to treatment.

I agree with you. What a great FIRST LADY, George should be PROUD of her.

I and that is the reason don't see any class from both sides.Divide and Rule you people are not talking to each other just sceaming, no facts just nonsense.We lost 4 million jobs to China,why because of cheap child labor 10 year old children working 14 hours aday in factories instead of going to scholl,while Apple has become the biggiest uy on the block the hell with their human rights ,I bet most of you are driving a foreign car.95 5 of politicians are re elected each time because of the divide and rule problem.Start talking know the facts and thow them all out of office.If the deficit exceeds 3% of our GDP.Haver those politicians get the same insurance the same pensions the same sosial sec as all americans,have their private pension trust put into soc sec with they have been robbing blind over the years.Grow up

It has been done for every other president and it will be done for every president who follows. If he HADN'T had a ceremony for it and they just installed the portrait, you would have complained about THAT too.

idiot!

Rick, I second that.....villian157 you are an idiot! There that should make it a law right? Well anyway, yep its true, you are an idiot villian.

A crayola sketch would have been much cheaper, or a paint by number That Ex.Pres.BushJr. could have taken home and enjoyed for hours!

@villian send me $5.00 and I can prove whether or not you are a Idiot, and lay this matter to rest.

Romney could have drawn the portrait on his etch-a-sketch!

Beth - Funny but he probably would have someone do it for him, so he doesn't break a nail!

AGREED! I wouldn't want to be in the same state with the POS.

And, of course, the phoney POS is all smiles and charming after all the degrading he has done towards the Bush family.

Don't get me wrong. I am not the least bit happy about all that happened during the Bush years. However, he didn't take our Constitution and ship his @ss with it. Nor did he bow down to foreign dictators like O'moron does.

Sickening. I puke you you!

Jersey - how can you be so common and have no common sense? - I'm glad I don't know you and hope to never meet you.

The right wingers have no respect for the office of the President, as the GOP leaders have no respect for thier own offices.

Obama/Biden-2012

Pres. Bush was there because he is a gracious man who has more class in his little finger than our current Presient could ever hope to have!! Even though Obama has been absolutely nasty and has blamed every single problem in our country on President Bush, you have not heard one ugly word publicly from President Bush about Obama or his administration. Instead, President Bush spends much of his time working with wounded veterans and their families and raising money to help injured soldiers. He does this work quietly out of respect for the soldiers; he's not looking for publicity (and heaven knows the liberal media isn't talking about this) he is just out there wanting to help. He often visited troops in the hospital when he was President most of the time without the media even knowing he did this. Whether you agreed with President Bush's policies or not; he is a good and decent man who actually LOVES our country and believes we are a great nation (unlike our current President!).

Travelna - You know what you are so confused, whatever Bush is doing for those wounded soldiers is the very least he can do. What is he doing for the ones that were killed in Iraq a war we should have never been in. Because for his desire for revenge and the lies we lost thousands of troops over there. You come here defending Bush who is responsible for the deaths of so many American sholdiers, and then compare him to Obama. You are one confused uninformed or really crazy individual.

Obama/Biden-2012

Also what do you right wing folks have to offer, to replace Obama the Creep Pathological Liar Romney, we don't think so.

Look at your party trying to block voters in Florida, because it is the only way your party could win the White House, by the way thats not happening either!

Obama/Biden/Pelosi-2012

"back on track"??? Oh LOL, thanks for the laugh of the day!!! (maybe he could show us how to start another war or two...drive the economy back into red???)

I can't agree with you more.

are you color blind since obama been in office it has gone to a deep purple 7 trillion worth

I see you're playing stupid, looking like you're winning!

That's a "gangsta grin".

I noticed that. It's like his eyes try to avoid you instead of follow.

And you think this monkey in a suit we have now is doing a good job? Let's all sit around and watch as he pontificates. Take his teleprompters away from him and you'll find out exactly what he is.

We need to get this clown out of office in November and put someone in charge who will resurrect the values and integrity on which this nation was founded. O'moron thinks he should have the right to change our Constitution. (Excuse me, I meant to say he wants to burn it).

This nation always had the reputation of being the land where you could make your dreams come true through hard work and effort. I am a true believer in Capitalism. You reap what you sow.

I have worked like a dog since I'm 13 years old. I have gone as muich as 13 years without having a real vacation. I have SACRIFICED plenty to reach my goals. The problem is there are way too many people that want it all handed to them. They want to lounge around while everyone else does the work and give them handouts.

WAKE UP AMERICA. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU!!

values!, lmao

Ha Ha Ha! You mean "Drinking?" Oh, okay...! Great Values!

I guess Rick adn Eliza are part of the screaming liberal society that thinks the entire country should be equal, and everyone should drive the same type of car and live in the same type of house. Hard work and sacrifice would mean nothing.

Let me guess..... you two are probably school teachers or some other Union worker, right?

Clueless ......

Where are all of those Americans who lost their jobs while Bush was in office? How many jobs were we losing per month before Bush left office? Didn't those people need a little help to survive? Were they just dead beats who didn't work hard enough? It's Not the Government Program, it's the Abuse and Dishonesty. Just place stricter criteria and weed out the bad apples, it can be done.

Wrong. It will never be like that...everyone with the same car, house etc... The Rich and Richer should pay their Fair Share in taxes. Why does a CEO pay less taxes than his secretary? Why did 35,000 top earners not pay any taxes at all this past year? Riddle me that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with success, however, there is something terribly wrong when the Middle Class get asked to Sacrifice way more than the Rich.

Jersey Jimmie must be breathing the air off the swamps in NJ. I hope you are not implying what you seem to be with the 'monkey in a suit' remark. And what's your beef with Union workers... like school teachers?

It seems to me that a lot of the screaming is coming from the misinformation moguls at FAUX. I do agree that there are those who are taking more from the system than they pay in. But remember that Bush the Younger campaigned on immigration reform. But found out that the rich don't really want that. They just say they do. They need cheap labor and the illegals are where they get it from. They can keep their profit margin large, unemployment of Americans stays high, but they don't care. BTW...ask the parents of our soldiers if they appreciate the Bush Fantasy Wars where they lost their sons & daughters. Then ask the ones whose children were returned to them from Iraq...alive...due to President Obama. You are clueless. Get your priorities straight.

"I don't know how the Bush family can stand being in the same room with a president who is totally against all the values they hold dear. I just wonder what they think of the way he's running this country into the ground. It must make them all heartsick."

So, you still don't know that you got robbed?

That's probably at least 1 reason why Republicans are such crooks, because even when they lie to their followers square in their face, rob you blind, lie us into war, and send the country into the 2nd Great Depression, Republican Followers remain completely and totally oblivious.

Obama/Biden 2012

Eliza -- keep up the good training. You're sounding more and more like Karl Marx with every post!

You think Barbara has a heart? The one who didnt want to fill her beautiful mind up with thoughts of children being homeless, hungry, and dying?

what values. Screwing us over???

No odumber is screwing us over just fine on his own, he just blames Bush as he does it.

Wow...an Obama hater who actually mentioned the name of Bush....Careful, I think that's a capital offense in the Republican party.

He's got to blame someone for his failures.

please name a failure? Obama saved this country from it's downhill slid.

Let's see.....

1) The stimulus package did NOTHING for anyone. Big deal. Maybe ten bucks a week if you were lucky. The national deficit went through the roof with that one.

2) OBAMACARE (the name right there tells you how full of himself the guy is). Yes, let's throw people in jail if they can't afford to buy their own health insurance. Let's also start taking people a few percent on the purchase price of their homes when they go to sell them to pay for it. They didn't want anyone to know about that before they passed it through. I can remember that piece of garbage Pelosi telling everyone on national televsion that we had to pass it so we could see what it entailed.

3) Social Security - Let's start cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits for the elderly so we can start supporting the "undocumented" illegals whom he and Pelosi want to give full voting rights like the rest of us.

Don't get me started. There won't be enough room to write everything on this page.

WAKE UP AMERICA! OBAMA IS EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is evil? Grow up child you sound really stupid...

There are three races in America upper, middle and lower class. I do not care what color you claim to be. The million dollar question is what president will help your class the most;whatever, class that might be. It would be foolish to vote for a man based on so call race. Mr Obama is of the black race, however he is wealthy we are not the same even though I am African American middle class. Futhermore, I think he will help my class more than the other wealthy guy. Let me say that again . MY CLASS (Not my race!) Lower and middle class I do not care what color you are you are not in the click with the wealthy do not kid yourself.

Country girl, you're an idiot. What happened to your investment portfolio and job under Dubya? Dubya's values are to live on easy street and not give a damn about you.

So true Califboy !

You tell em, Califboy!

Califboy you are a racist and a moron.

Well I'm am so glad we do know where your trashy white ancestors came from, yet we wish you were not apart of our race........Africa, where most dark beautiful skin is made.......oh but damn if you are in fact a California Boy, them you must know how BLACK your white friends are trying to get. Tanning, burning, spraying on TAN in a CAN, adding on a new ass, making your lips BIG and lets not forget about all the white wrinkles you are trying to straighten. You will die of wrinkles and not old age......LOSER

Ron,

You are entitled to your irrational thoughts.

Obama's Flip Flops: Who Is Barack Obama??

I didn't like many of the things Bush did as president. But one thing is true, that is a position of ultimate patriotism. I am sure they are all nice people and trust me, he's glad to have left the White House.

Even though we may disagree with presidents, we have to know that they mean well and there is a Congress that must share the good and bad times.

Rod,

As you are entitled to yours.

I'd take 8 years of a Bush any day to one day of Obama. He is a disgrace to the USA!

Califboy & jersey jimmie, you are both delusional and ignorant.

I agree with you 100%.

Obama killed Osama Bin Laden. You remember him dont you, the guy that bush did not know where he was and didnt care?

I just hope that Our taxes did not pay such as Bush does not deserve any more perks from our taxes--he failed The People of this nation miserably!

Rod father - lol, he gave the order to kill bin laden and then he ordered the invasion of another sovereign nation without notice to do it. While it is unlikely that bin laden will be missed, is this going to be our new norm for foreign policy? Invade to just shoot to kill? Whatever happenned to our support for the rule of law. Even saddam had a trial before being hung by his own countrymen.

Interesting on how it was on bush2's watch that the courier was found that did lead to bin ladens hideyhole, even obama gave bush2 credit for that when the story initially broke.

BTW, ever do any hunting or study psychology? Hunters don't go around with lots of others trying to find game, they stalk, they study the lay of the land and they wait for the opportunity. Bush2 knew that after the tora bora escape little could be done with hundreds of agents running around and that occasionally feigning indifference could also set a fugative at ease and expose himself. Hell, even the FBI spends years tracking down their most wanted and that is usually always on the domestic front, not international.

Silly, that must mean you don't think obama should have a WH portrait as well, right?

LOLOLOL weak, weak commentary so called american.

The same place you got "dat" education

He spelled does right, just not those.......education for you

at the local "cat in the hat" store. Pretty cool socks...

Takes a pretty big pair to wear socks like that when you know the whole world will be seeing them. That or a "i could give a rip what anyone thinks" attitude. I think Pres. Bush Sr has both in ample supply.
