"Democrats: People who think 45 million dead babies IS NOT ENOUGH."

Well said.

" He went on to condemn the president, "who promised to become a uniter" and instead has become "a great divider."

I hear this quote all of the time from the left. It seems that if Bush doesn't give in to all of the Dems wants then he's divisive. Letting gays destroy the rule of law would be uniting? Letting terrorists have free run of our
country would be uniting?

Personally I think GWB has given alot more than most presidents would be expected to.

Good Morning and Welcome to the Today Show,
I am Cat-ty Cure-Ick and we are here this morning reporting live from the White House, and again we have found yet another way George Bush is being divisive.

Exactly 3 hours ago it was reported the George Bush woke up and began to breath - yes breath - and reports are coming in from all over the country of American who feel divided, confused and angry.

Even after the bilious senator had lambasted President Bush for supposedly cooking up the entire Iraq War as a political stunt and alleged that he had told "lie after lie after lie after lie," the elder George Bush gave Kennedy a public service award!

I think this was Bush 41's way of expressing extreme displeasure at the course that his son has charted. Remember also that two of Bush 41's top advisors wrote an Op-Ed piece against the second Iraq war, and that on Thanksgiving President Bush invited his father to the ranch for the holiday and then, without even telling him (can't the ex-head of the CIA and former President keep a secret?) he flew off to Iraq (the war his father seemingly opposed) to eat with the troops.

What?!

Back to the drawing board. Your analysis is way off the mark.

[Piranha]

How so?

[cyncooper]

President Bush 41 completely supports the War on Terror, including the Iraq aspect, and was thrilled with his son's daring Thanksgiving visit to that country made under cover of darkness. He was not in the least offended that he arrived at the ranch without being told ahead of time that GWB was on a secret mission.

"after hearing about the 'horse face' joke deleted from the Oscars ceremony."

I missed this. Is there a thread?

Your post is the first I've heard of it. I've seen interviews where his mother says that she and his father have differences with their son, but won't explain what they are. I've seen articles in which the foreign policy gurus of Bush 41 have written about how they referred to Secretary Rumsfeld and his colleagues as "the Crazies" during his administration, and how they found this whole WOT, especially the Iraq part, to be reckless and unnecessary.

How do you explain Bush 41 giving his Great American award to Ted Kennedy? He said it's lifetime achievement. I don't see that Ted Kennedy was any better at the beginning of his political career *Kopechne* than he is at the end of it.
