I have a couple of thoughts -

1) Obama seems to think that everything is about him

2) To Obama: If the shoe fits, wear it - neener, neener

Just one more manufactured outrage.

Obama is morphing into Sharpton.

There is one additional piece of important information: when the MSM started reporting on Bush’s comments they were citing unnamed Administration sources as saying that the comments were directed straight at Obama.

It was those reports that triggered Obama’s response ... with Dana Perino coming back with her great “just because you’re running for President doesn’t mean that you are the center of the universe” comment.

I smell a psyop setup by the WH ... they baited Obama and the Dems into an emotional response and then fell back on the plausible deniability of what the President actually said. If the Dems are going to be this thin-skinned, overreactive and quick to play the victim care, it bodes well for the General election.

Karl Rove may be gone, but they still have his phone number.

With McCain’s cap-and-trade carbon scheme, unwillingness to drill for oil anywhere near this country, and stated willingness to continue the bailout of the banks, do you think he’s any different than Carter in terms of the domestic economy ?

I guess it was to hard to cry racism on this one.

Tucker Carlson’s ‘analysis’ on msnbc was that Bush was comparing his political foes to Hitler! It made no sense, I don’t know if TC was drunk or what. The comparison was to Chamberlain of course. And in Israel , where they tried to exchange land for peace, the message is always timely.

MSNBC: they’re all stunned at how “idiotic” Bush is for speaking the truth. All they care about is whether he “meant obama”. And they go “of course he meant obama!”.

No, he meant the entire DNC and the Left.

People should tune in to Morning Joe, or msnbc anytime today... it’s actually funny how upset these dweebs are. Especially Schuster, of course.

Somebody should tell Mr. Obama that there's a saying in the South that covers his remarks regarding Bush's remarks. It's called "Hit dog hollers". When you respond to something somebody else says, even though they didn't specifically mention you, your guilt is acknowledged.

Mr. Obama, "Plugs" Biden, et al, thanks for spouting off to Bush's remarks in Israel yesterday. By doing so you removed all doubt that you and your complicit DemocRats pals are all for coddling vicious dictators. We all knew it was true. Now, there is clear evidence of your intentions........

Woohoo Dana!!! And it even fits in a tagline.

It is absolutely amazing - and wonderful - that Bush’s general comment is flushing out so many politicians and pundits. By misreporting the comments, journalists are displaying their ignorance, their bias, or both. Makes me wonder if failing education students turn to journalism as a major. As to the politicians, no surprises there. Still, if one major talking head turned on them and actually reported it right, what a sea-change that would be.

In obama’s little mind, damning America is considered patriotic but speaking out against appeasement is heresy.

“It’s going to be a long, whiny campaign if they keep it up.”

Dear Barack,

Politics is a contact sport. I will hit you clean but I will hit you hard and often. Whining to the referees only makes you look weak. Address the issues not your hurt feelings, if you can.

I think most people where stunned when “the empty suit” decided to take offense at such utterly inoffensive remarks.

I would hope that you are correct, but am not optimistic. Anyone who would vote for BHO is not deterred by facts...

Hypersentive reactionaries. A dangerous characteristic for the Presidency.
