White House pans ‘unfair’ magazine cover with Obama in Bush’s flight suit
Washington Times ^ | 9-27-14 | Dave Boyer

The White House is bristling at the suggestion that President Obama is becoming more warlike and, therefore, more like his predecessor, George W. Bush.

At the White House press briefing on Friday, reporters asked presidential spokesman Josh Earnest for his reaction to the cover photo of the Economist magazine, which depicts Mr. Obama in the flight suit worn by Mr. Bush during the Iraq war in 2003, with the new caption “Mission Relaunched.”

It’s a reference to Mr. Obama renewing the war against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. But Mr. Earnest called “unfair” the suggestion that the president is suddenly becoming tougher on terrorism.

I’m honestly profoundly annoyed by faux conservatives who pretend bush and Obama are exactly the same. As my tag line suggests I really like the Cruz who is much more conservative than bush. But that doesn’t mean I hate bush or fail to see the profound differences between bush and Obama and general democratic governance.

The nations primary problems and economic crisis began in jan 2007 with dem control of congress. Blaming bush— a bipartisan pathology— is one of the nations serious political problems.

Instead of this graphic, they should use the one of Hussain raising his Latte in salute to the Marines when getting off the chopper.

Odumbo wouldn’t know what end of an airplane to get into. He is a disgrace to this country and definitely against the military.

You might want to take notice that The_Republic_Of_Maine is either slightly off kilter or a deep-cover troll. BDS to the max.

Any list of Bush successes should include the effort to combat the spread of HIV in African nations. Seems some libs and conservatives are reticent to mention this.

I definitely need to add that to the list. I was actually taking a pro Cuban communist professor through the bush library recently and making that same point.

Good point.

Quit being snarky and show how all the 40 points are wrong. Libya, while not up to liberal snuff, was one of our allies until Barky offed him, ILLEGALLY.

get a copy of the US Constitution, read it and figure it out for yourself. Bush swore to uphold it not defecate on it or do what ever he wanted.

I’m not going to play seventh grade civics teacher with you.

Dear lonestar67,

I don't agree with everything on the list, but overall, it's a good list, and it's good to remind people that President Bush does not equal the Kenyan anti-Christ Obama.

I have one, in front of me and everything you are trying to indicate is bullshit. Troll. It IS NOT Bush’s fault that Obama circumvented the law as written (and in most cases disregarded) and made up his laws to help the Democrat election chances. Go back to DU.

When your argument falls apart revert to insults, humm, seems like it is yuou that needs to go back to DU, troll.

Had your god, the leftist liberal money spending, Constitution defecating Bush, done his job obama would have been put in jail not the oval office.

Why didn’t your master investigate the charges of not being a Natural Born Citizen?

Why didn’t your master investigate the charges of not being a Natural Born Citizen?....It wasn’t HIS duty, no charges came up until after Obama was elected and you are close to being an idiot, since YOUR party vetted him and said he is OK. For many years, before he became a candidate.

I sure wouldn't want to see him try!

No, really! That would be bad! Right?
