Bush worked across the aisle. Obama demonizes GOP in virtually every speech. Never has he worked with the GOP.

Its tough who he hates more BiBi or Boner.

Hmmm...let’s look at a compilation of all the nice things Ms. Pelosi has said about Mr. Bush...

“From the outset, the President’s Iraq policy has had little basis in reality.”

“Why should we put a plan out? Our plan is to stop him (Bush). He must be stopped.”

“I think the time has come to speak very frankly about the lack of leadership (Bush) in the White House, the lack of judgment.”

“Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he’s not a leader.... He’s a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon.’’

“The Bush economy is going in the wrong direction: gas prices are sky-high and health costs are an overwhelming burden for too many Americans.”

“His (Bush) activities, his decisions, the results of his actions are what undermines his leadership, not my statement.... My statements are just a statement of fact.”

“With tax cuts for the wealthiest few causing red ink as far as the eye can see, incomes falling, and our jobs moving overseas, the economic record of President Bush is dismal for middle-class families,”

“Republicans should remember that the reason Osama bin Laden is still able to threaten the United States, three years after the September 11 attacks, is the utter failure of the Bush administration to capture bin Laden and to destroy his terrorist network,”

“One of the constants in the Bush administration’s miserable record on Iraq has been the manipulation of intelligence precisely for political purposes. That has caused our intelligence — which used to be accepted without question around the world — to be viewed with skepticism by the international community.”

“He (Bush) has on his shoulders the deaths of many more troops, because he would not heed the advice of his own State Department of what to expect after May 1 when he ... declared that major combat is over... The shallowness that he has brought to the office has not changed since he got there.’’

“I believe that the president’s (Bush) leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers.”

“Well, this is what I would fault the Bush administration on. Post- 9/11, the clear and present danger was terrorism, we know that. Instead of getting the job completely done in Afghanistan, where the Al Qaeda was harbored and had sanctuary, we went there, and then looked for another target before the job was done there.”

“The situation in Iraq and the reckless economic policies in the United States speak to one issue for me, and that is the competence of our leader (Bush).... These policies are not working. But speaking specifically to Iraq, we have a situation where — without adequate evidence — we put our young people in harm’s way.”

“Today, President Bush became the first President in history to sign a law banning a safe and medically-accepted medical procedure. By signing this bill, President Bush continues his assault on a woman’s right to make private medical decisions. He is putting women’s health in serious danger by signing a bill that fails to contain an exception for what is best for the health of a woman...”

“President Bush argues that upper income people pay a larger share of the taxes, therefore they should get a larger tax cut. We disagree. These people have significantly benefited from the economic boom of the 1990s, while those in the bottom range of incomes have received little benefit. It’s these folks that we must help. President Bush’s plan is “Reaganomics” revisited and it’s fiscally irresponsible.”

Bush? Don’t you mean the “smirking chimp?”

They may not have actually said that on the floor of the House, or “Bush=Hitler”, or “Chimpy McBushitler”, but they said absolutely NOTHING to discourage such slanderous nonsense!

"Bush? Don’t you mean the “smirking chimp?”"

For years, my local paper (The Seattle Times) allowed such references to Bush - the chimp, the monkey man, etc. - in its on-line message boards, but I was banned for saying I thought that Obama looked like a chimp.
