President Bush certainly didn't score any points with his conservative base WRONG - President Bush didn't score any points with Michael Savage and his ILK!!!! Bush was a class act all the way. To insult or put down Clinton would have been absolutely wrong in front of all those people.

I think it was a smart move.

So true - Bush demonstrated manners and grace; something the Dims cannot do. The contrast is glaring and cannot help but set him in a better light and give people another example of why he is the right choice.

"President Bush was more laudatory and more passionate about Bill Clinton than he was about President Reagan [during Friday's memorial service]," contended nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage Monday night. lol......what a combo, Newsmax quoting Savage. Does it get any less legit than that?

I suppose President Bush should have spit on Clinton's portrait and called him a rapist ...
Bush is the president, and as such he is required to show some decorum. The fact that he accentuated Clinton's positives at the portrait unveiling doesn't irk me in the least.

Michael Savage, so I hear, has gone off the deepend. Who gives a rinky-tink what Savage thinks?

President and Mrs. Bush are class act. Why would anyone expect them to be rude or hostile to a former president and former first lady, regardless of how odious they are personally? The Bushes hold themselves to a high standard of conduct, and for that we should grateful (remembering the conduct of the former inhabitants.)

"President Bush certainly didn't score any points with his conservative base"Evidently, his conservative base never heard the old saying "kill 'em with kindness", either!!

Not to mention there is a huge portion of the electorate that thinks Clinton was unfairly targeted by the right, and also think he is the greatest president ever elected....and would vote for him again, given the chance.

Love fest? Nope. Show of class in the face of the definition of "classless" ...

Bush has always shown class. Having an Ex- president in for a portrait unveiliong is not the right venue for attacking the guy. Bush was a good host. And if it made the Dims unhappy thats a bonus.

Bush's speech is the most wonderful send-up and mockery. A proper mockery for that fool of a man, Clinton. Mr. Bush even had Clinton eating his own soiled hat, and enjoying it. Absolutely amazing.

I have to admit the speech caused a near-emetic reaction for me, but deep down, I know it was shrewd stategery.

Michael Savage is an egomaniacal idiot.

Michael Savage says outrageous things on the radio for money. I would not take one-tenth of what he says seriously.
President Bush was a class act yesterday. I have often wondered what would happen if a candidate said during the campaign that if his opponent is elected, the people would still be getting a fine public servant. I think people would react very positively to a candidate who does not feel the need to trash his opponent. The argument would be that the other fella is pretty good, but he is better.

Michael Savage can't walk through a shop full of china. George W. Bush can.

I agree. In fact when I talk to liberals I go out of my way to give some kind of praise to Clinton. It leaves them in a position of feeling obligated to return the praise or look like the hatemongers they are.

Funny. I saw the hateful woman from The Nation (Katrina?) on TV and she was foaming at the mouth (as usual) "Oh come on! Bush is sticking the knife in Clinton! Listen to what he's saying! Could the praise be more faint? More damning? He's using this portrait dedication as an opportunity to attack Clinton and diminish his legacy! It's hateful!"
I paraphrase, but she was over the top.

Michael Savage has simply proven once again what an idiot he is, and why he is the bane of Conservatives everywhere.
Bill Clinton, like him or not, is the 42nd president of the United States. All presidents deserve at least the respect of the office from the current Commander-in-Chief.
President Bush handled himself magnanimously and with dignity, exactly as he should have. And even Bubba did, too. For the most part.
