The White House excluded former president George W. Bush from the official photo of last Saturday's march through Selma to commemorate Bloody Sunday.

The original photo is a wide shot of crowds walking on Edmund Pettus Bridge led by Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha Obama, as well as Georgia Rep. John Lewis, Al Sharpton, Bush and his wife, former First Lady Laura.

RE :”The Bushes were the turds in the punchbowl. Obviously they didn’t understand what the event was all about.”

I am not so sure about that,
it was GWB with a GOP congress in 2006 that reauthorized the voting rights act (VRA) AS IS with those anti-southern-red state provisions that got overturned by the SCOTUS, that Obama and Lewis were whining about being overturned and need reinstatement.

Laura is pro-gay and pro-abortion.

Michelle doesn’t care that her daughters dress like hookers? Why isn’t she teaching them modesty? Maybe she will; right after they learn to walk normally. Why on earth was the president swaying from side to side as he walked? Is it impossible for that family to walk like normal people?

This may or may not be my sole post of criticism for the day!

This black communists is showing his real color. King Obama is the hardest black racist. His entire empire of communists pigs are the garbage of America. I feel the whites are beginning to feel some real renewed hate for millions of ignorant blacks.

You just can’t hide class.

Especially when it’s low.

Air-brushing political opponents out of historical photos was a typical Stalinist tactic.

ISIS is doing the same thing by destroying all non Islamic historical artifacts.

I have a Photoshop in mind for this one, but it'll involve testicles and would get me banned.

You can probably do it yourself, mentally.

You are correct. If a photo was cropped, it was not the one shown.

It’s nice that they could all get together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Democrat thugs blocking the bridge.

Sheesh, much ado about nothing. Bush is politely off to the side so as not to steal thunder from POTUS. That shows grace and decorum. He’s in the wide shot. It not the zoomed-in shot which is certainly a more interesting photograph from a composition perspective and seeing the smiles on the old folks.

The Selma thing was FUBU event. Cracker Texans present would make it seem as though it was about putting racial injustices of the past behind us.

Definitely the wrong message.

Typical Obozo response: just ignore the facts and it becomes your truth. Idiot.

******

I didn't think that the arrogant, liar Obama could go any lower to prove what an idiot he truly was.

But this incident of cropping former President Bush out of the official White House Selma anniversary photo is a new low even for that idiot.

It’s deliberate and intentional, with the full collusion of the media. They want the democrat party to be the one credited with “civil rights” and the Republican party to be trashed.

It was ignorant of them to put him on the end like they did. If this was truly a show of national unity on race relations, he, as the senior Republican, should have been right next to Obama. But no, they put him on the end and crop him out like yesterday’s trash. Just goes to show two things: (1) Obama and the Dems want to own racial politics even though the Dems were the original villains in the Civil Rights Movement and (2) George Bush is still a gullible dupe.

FUBU was a short lived line of hip hop clothing - for us by us.
