Bush Irked by Leak on Private Talk With Obama Over Trade, Aid to Automakers

Fox News ^ | November 11, 2008

A senior administration official suggested that Obama be careful to keep his counsel and perhaps is unfamiliar with the long-held tradition of keeping confidential conversations between presidents.

And pretty much any other American tradition. 0bama is classless and clueless.

January 21th-The house and senate Republicans will take over that duty!

Well then it is your job and ours, to let them see that it will not be acceptable.

Face facts BARLF.....and stop with the poor george routine ...GWB, while being a decent human being and I'm sure a good and virtuous man, has been a disaster for the conservative movement. He is the RINO IN CHIEF and the sooner we on the right recognize his failures and turn our backs on him and condemn him as the total turncoat he is to our values, the better for this movement. Justice demands he must be blamed and condemned. Otherwise he will be a millstone around our necks every election.

I still can't find it. I think it might have been Churchill but I can't remember the context. This is getting like a song you can't get out of your head.

Found it, per Wikipedia:

Following the debacle of the British expedition to Norway, Chamberlain found himself under siege in the House of Commons. During the Norway Debate of 7 May, Leo Amery – who had been one of Chamberlain's personal friends – delivered a devastating indictment of Chamberlain's conduct of the war. In concluding his speech, he quoted the words of Oliver Cromwell to the Long Parliament: “ You have sat too 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. ”

My question is "why did he leak this?"

Part of his commitment to transparency, openness, and acountability in government?

...this man should be nowhere near any type of secure or top secret information - that should be one of the vetting criteria before even entering the primaries!

I agree with you and so many others about this. The Constitution should be amended to change the requirements for eligibility to hold the office of President. Candidates should be required to obtain the highest security clearance to be considered eligible.

I wonder if Obama knows that he is ensuring that no one will speak to him off the record.

I supported GWB voting for him 2x’s...but I’m very disappointed in his lst 4 years, as he has morphed into his father. I think he will be missed after the BO has a few chances to screw up!

Good lesson to everyone who meets Obama alone. Have a tape recorder running so you can prove what you really said.

You want facts?

Go to post 90 and read the facts at the link.

Don't talk down to me as if I am a 12 year old child. I'm old enough to be your mother or maybe even your grandmother. Basing that thought by your post to me.

Now, I dare you to read the article at the link. You won't tho will you?

“The requested document does not exist on this server”.

Sorry, but the above message came up when I tried to read it per your instructions.

I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, Dear. But it’s time to face reality.

I don’t know what “facts” are there. But I can guess it was probably a love ode to GWB. Too late. He has done massive damage to our conservative cause, to the Republican party and to this nation BECAUSE OF SETTING THE STAGE FOR BO. I don’t give a rats behind about a few good SCOTUS appointments ( that he was forced into anyway.....remember Harriot !)...too little, too late.

And thanks for the compliment about my apparent youth.....I haven’t been told in a long time that I sounded young !!...And you’d better not get all steamed up about attacks on GWB......they are on the way as we try to pick up the pieces....get used to them......the cliche that the left has used for 8 yrs will now be our’s “IT IS BUSH’S FAULT” !!
