Bush Irked by Leak on Private Talk With Obama Over Trade, Aid to Automakers
Fox News ^ | November 11, 2008

Posted on 11/11/2008 10:03:37 AM PST by pleikumud

President Bush is unhappy the conversation between him and President-elect Barack Obama has been cast as a trade-off between Bush signing a second stimulus package in exchange for congressional passage of the Colombia Free Trade Deal, administration officials told FOX News on Tuesday.

This clown is way in over his head...

0bama would appear to be a natural-born spazz. Mere inexperience can be hidden longer than a week.

Well since I am totally against the Korean and Columbia trade agreements. I am glad someone leaked this information. It hurts Republicans in the Midwest by the way.

It’s amazing how a leak from the Obama side is Bush’s fault in the eyes of some

The hate is rife among conservatives.

It's sickening at times.

Must have been the Korea thing, or the corruption thing. I remember that. ‘I will go to Korea.’

You know I read this comment, and I just got to wonder-do you believe in elections or democracy? Obama was elected by the American people. We are in the worst economic shape in my lifetime, and you are talking about impeachment. This is just stupid. We better all pray that Obama is successful in terms of the economy or we are in huge trouble. Personally, I hated the constant irrational hatred directed at Pres. Bush (good man) the last few years. I find it just as distasteful when it’s directed at Obama. We lost-accept it and move on.

Obama is NOT trustworthy...no surprise there.

My question is "why did he leak this?" Any guesses on what his end game is on this? I haven't yet figured out if they want him to sign this bailout or if they are trying to tic him off so he won't sign it?

If they want him to sign it, why? Obama could sign it in two months and take all the credit for saving the auto industry. I figure they must be planning to put some stinky thing in there, hoping the pres won't read it all, and then blame Bush for the results in years to come.

You are right. And before we conservatives can begin the reform of the GOP we must identify GWB as the Vichy in Chief. The Bushes, father and son, have been a disaster for Liberty and Free Markets in this country. And while we're at it lets throw Karl Rove, aka The Architect ( of what I'd like to know ), out with the trash also.....I am sick of "Decent,God Fearing George Bush".....he needs the reproach of every conservative...and with the words of Oliver Cromwell say to him: “You have been sat to long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!.” Addressing the rump parliament. April 1653.

We conservatives don’t march in lock-step. Our minds are not on automatic.

What has Obama done to deserve respect? In this article alone he's leaking and misrepresenting private conversations with President Bush, even though the election is over. Move on? Maybe when he earns it. 8 long years of trashing President Bush isn't going to heal in a few days, sorry.

That should reassure the world leaders who have to enter into off the record negotians with a Pres O.

Considering how petuland Obama has been with making demands, it is little surprise.

Remember the bailout meeting with Obama making demands and ORDERING GWBush to comply with the senate wishes?

Seems Obama has a harvard temprament for dissent. (for those in rio linds, that is his way period. No highway, no other ways, just his way or you go to jail without 200 dollars)

Probably Obama's game is get Bush to sign off on something he wants and if things go wrong, he can pawn the blame on Bush. Obama wants to credibly blame the previous administration as long as he can.

And I read the first thing Slobama said, when entering each room of the White House was "Which direction is facing EAST"?

That's my guess too. Obama is essentially a coward. Getting Bush to do the Auto bailout for him is just his way of voting "present" one last time.

After Bush is gone, the congress will take blame for all things bad. That will be fun to watch!

Perhaps you can help me, this admonishment by Cromwell was quoted to another body and I cannot for the life of me remember who quoted him or to whom.

Don’t make me laugh bronxboy and don’t try to reverse arguments like a little trainee marxist.
The question here is that OSAMABAMA IS NOT following the rules....This must be found out NOW if it is true.

Here it is clear that he is responsible for the Leak on Private talks with PRESIDENT BUSH.Right?Clear enough?

In addition OSAMABAMA is trying to avoid an audit about his campaign funds!

This should fully justify a serious judicial procedure to be launched on these last “elections”!
Do you fear something?
