anyone know the name and source of the reference Pres. Bush made to the senator who wanted to talk to Hitler?
Have not seen it anywhere.

Possibly Prescott Bush?
Yes, it is odd. His wife looks totally underwhelmed, doesn’t she?
No Prescott Bush wasn’t elected until 1952. But his companies reportedly did lots of business with the NAZIs.
It seems that Obama has a guilt complex. If anyone goes out in the street and yells “appeasement!”, Obama will jump up and say “Stop insulting me!”.
“The wicked flee when no man pursueth”
Proverbs 28:1
I’m filing this one in my “Is That All You Got?” folder.
Pre-meditated response by Barack? The propagandists were quick to amplify his presentation of himself as a victim. It fits their template. He looks good on that pedestal. He's easy to spin. Mrs. & Mr. Lazy Susan will be be proud.
‘Well, the way Obama reacted, you would think the appeaser was Obama.;
he did fit comfortably into those shoes didn’t he?
No, but US Ambasador to the Court of St. James, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., (Teddy’s daddy and a professional criminal) thought Hitler was just wonderful and tried to get the US to become Germany’s ally.
Wes Pruden, the take no prisoners editor of the Washington Times had a good take on this (and Borah) yesterday.

Well .. it was Chamberlain who signed an agreement with Hitler not to attack Britian - whereupon FDR recalled Chamberlain from Britain (where he was an ambassador).
Senator’s name .. I’ve never heard that story.
And .. since Obama thinks we have 57 STATES - I’m not surprised he didn’t know the history of the Senator.
I didn’t find verification of the link b/t him and Alice Lee, referred to above, but the ‘underwhelmed’ might be connnected indeed.
Btw, the wikipedia write up about Alice is quite interesting; it never fails to amaze me to what extremes people will live....
I read about the affair in a biography of Alice. She was known to gossips, in the relevant period, as “Aurora Borah Alice,” which stayed in my mind as a very clever phrase.
Mrs. Borah’s pose is probably a photographic convention of the time, but her expression seems to say, “I can’t believe I married this putz!” rather than, “I’m overcome by the honor of being married to this wonderful man!”
Chamberlain was the British Prime Minister, not our ambassador. Old man Kennedy was ambassador and the Hitler admirer.
Yeah!! Somebody who knows their history! Thanks!!
Wow. I’ve been trawling around in the much of the 60 year period of 1880 to 1940 off and on for a few years now; I can’t get over some of the stuff I encounter, like Alice e.g., and I have never, ever heard of.
Another example is the ‘Great Sedition Trial’, in the 1940’s. The details of that trial neatly dovetail with todays NY Times refusal to dump the pulitizer awarded to it for that fellow’s reports of the paradise of the USSR. Utterly Orwellian.
(Now, totally of subject, have you ever heard of this? I’m sure you have, but I wanted to let you know of it if you hadn’t. I learned of it the first time today.

There’s something wrong with that map. Guyana in south america is NO WAY an islamic country. Wikipedia shows a muslim population of only 7.3%
But thanks for pointing it out :^)
Why aren’t France and Great Britain not in red?
That’s funny as hell. His head is way too big for his body.
