Sorry, but I think this is a non-story.........

“About 50 members of the White House press corps accepted President Bush’s invitation last night to come over to his house in Crawford, eat his food, drink his booze, hang around the pool and schmooze with him — while promising not to tell anyone what he said afterward......

The invitations to the reporters were issued on the condition that they not discuss conversations at the event.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if this dates back to Lincoln....

Good point, lets go after Obama on the important issues.

Slight difference there. Bush was inviting them to his private home. Obama was using the White House and undoubtedly taxpayer money went to buying the silence and goodwill of the press.

I think the point is that they were sworn to secrecy in order to attend.
We all know they gather at various functions for all administrations.

Crawford was Bush’s own house. The White House is not
Obama’s property. There’s the difference.

Ok so Bush did it? But we can still make it a issue with Obama, right? Come on man, get with the program :)

Sorry Joe

I send this again because I think it came out wrong. I was making a dumb joke! I was saying we should use it against Obama even if GW did the same thing.

I can not stand Obama so we should use whatever we can find...even if we said nothing about GW doing the same. All is fair in love and war right? LOL
