Just political courtesy. Someone was to be nominated. He's just congratulating the now known adversary, and let the games begin.

Sorry to offend. If it helps, I’m willing to blame it on Karl Rove.

I agree, President Bush did what he needed to do. He does have class, unlike some who have held that office.

I think the fact that a Marxist like Obama can get this far is a BAD development for this country.

Yep, it is sad that people like Hillary now seem to occupy the 'center'. That is a scary thought.

So true. The end started with George I and Bob Dole and the estrogen treatments the other GOP members got in the Clinton years. We had a chance to end the Dims power base once and for all but Trent Lott and Newt were able to finish it off when he jumped ship in the middle of the fray. I blame guys like DeLay who bailed also instead of fighting the good fight.

Would be so nice to see some “men” ( women or a man ) elected who has a clean history and will remain clean and attempt to do what is right not what is popular.

Jeepers, reading some of the comments on this thread one thinks Bush should’ve sent Obama a horse’s head in a box.

How about we blame it on Saddam Hussein for deceiving all of the branches of our government and that of many other nations. Do you have a problem with that? The man is dead, it's ok to call him a sadistic liar now.

The POTUS sucking up to the RAT’s Radical Muslim Manchurian Candidate whose intention (with the aid and assistance of his racist wife) is to destroy America and then hand over what’s left to his Muslim brothers!!! God help us all and that includes your children and grandchildren. We’re reliving 1933 in Nazi Germany only this time we know what’s coming.

Good Lord!! Congratulating Obama is no different than when he congratulates the team that wins the playoffs. It doesn’t mean he was a fan of theirs, nor does it mean he’s dissing the other team.

Sheesh!!

He just said congratulations........it is what you do when you are classy. It isn’t like he is rooting for Obama.

Come on.

He didn't need to do anything here. He could have very well kept his mouth shut. But a guess part of his New Tone™ is to continue making himself look like a naive fool when it comes to dealing with marxist democrats and never acknowledging that they are treacherous no matter how many times they have provided the proof.

Yep some of the rsponses here are amazing. Of course he congratulated Obama. Obama is beatable. If Clinton were to succeed in stealing the nomination from him, being classy might attact some of the sitting out Obama voters to the GOP.

Really. It’s not like W is endorsing him. Cut him some slack.
