BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS
Drudge Report ^ | 11/11/2008 | Drudge

Posted on 11/11/2008 6:41:18 AM PST by autumnraine

Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim.

"Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned.

"BUSH AND OBAMA AT ODDS OVER AID FOR AUTO INDUSTRY," splashed the NEW YORK TIMES in an exclusive Monday evening, quoting "people familiar with the discussion."

The two met at the White House in private, without staff.

"Bush indicated at the meeting that he might support some aid and a broader economic stimulus package if Obama and congressional Democrats dropped their opposition to a free-trade agreement with Colombia," claimed the TIMES.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing "aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting."

Bush advisers view the leaks as an effort to undermine the president's remaining days in office.

"Senator Obama may not be familiar with a long-standing tradition of presidents holding their private conversations, private," a senior adviser explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

These bastards are fascist, racist marxists, period.

What's truly surprising is that anyone here would be shocked at anything coming out of the DC sewer the next four years.

I give the man the props he's earned the past eight years.
But his being pissed after an election was stolen and our Republic is headed for tyranny, is just too f'n rich.

But I guess if ya have a nice fat pile stashed away and a huge spread in Ecuador or wherever the hell it is, ya just don't have to sweat the small details like your country headed for a climate of total shit.

How long before the “nuke codes” are leaked!

Let's give the wrong ones to Hussein and the right ones to General Petraeus.

October 13th 2008 A lot of people wonder what the big deal
is with ACORN. It’s just a voter registration program,
right? And BHO used to be a part of it before he tried to
wipe history clean of the organization.

From Founding Bloggers:

Why would Barack Obama lie about his association with
ACORN? Let’s see….Once upon a time there was a group
called the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA), and
they formed Students For A Democratic Society (SDS). CPUSA
and SDS spawned the Weather Underground and The Arkansas
Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). That group
was later renamed The Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (ACORN).

ACORN was conceived and devoted to the purpose of applying
the Cloward-Piven strategy of collapsing the American system
from within.

Barack worked for and directed money into these
organizations. Great article, with a couple of pdf files for
you to peruse… and another revelation!

I bet the other world leaders take note of how Obama handles this. Leaks of private conversations between world leaders, does not go over real well. Future conversations are severely limited.

Good point.

As Bush’s negatives cannot get much lower, he should use these last few days to 1) give all possible assistance to Israel in taking out the Iranian nuclear facilities, 2) order our military to go wherever (borders be damned) Al Quaeda and the Taliban are holed up and destroy them, 3) pardon imprisoned border patrolmen, 4) forcefully computer chip Guantanamo inmates and send them back to their homelands, 5) make the transition period a living hell for Obama and his crumb bums and 6) get mad and start talking like the coming administration is going to be the death of this nation!

“I stopped getting fleeced by the American auto industry in 1977.”

Same here, but in 1988. Bought my first new car, a Ford Taurus. Replaced a short block and TWO transmissions before 60K miles. In addition to that, the dealer was an a$$hole about doing the warranty work.

All this happened when “Quality is job one!”

You will not find anything but Toyota trucks and cars in my driveway My truck is a 1993 Toyota 4WD, still going strong at nearly 200K miles.

Bill Ayers worked with Cuba says FBI report

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5860

(excerpt)
Unrepentant terrorist former leading Weather Underground Organization (WUO) member William Ayers was aided by Fidel Castro’s Cuba in the 1970s, according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report.

The 400-page report, a copy of which was obtained by the New York Times, revealed that Cuban intelligence officers in the General Directorate of Intelligence (known by its initials in Spanish as the DGI, Cuba’s equivalent of the CIA) set up the Venceremos Brigades in which WUO members participated.

“The ultimate objective of the DGI’s participation in the setting up of the Venceremos Brigades was “the recruitment of individuals who are politically oriented and who someday may obtain a position, elective or appointive, somewhere in the U.S. Government, which would provide the Cuban Government with access to political, economic and military intelligence.” (Italics CFP’s).

Great list. I forgot about #3. I will add that to my complaint list. Thanks

NAW, just be happy if he doesnt do anything, did you hear his radio address?

“In his weekly radio address President Bush said, “So my Administration will work hard to ensure that the next President and his team can hit the ground running. “

President Bush has aided the union-controlled auto makers enough. Business is business, and these businesses are failing because they cannot compete. They promised the moon to their workers, and the moon is too far away. Too bad. Welcome to America! (how many millions of Americans have not worked for GM or Ford and had their businesses fail with no relief from government???????) It’s a shame that the businesses let things get this bad.

Meanwhile, Senator Obama needs to be able to muzzle his staffers who are likely to blab about his own admin problems in a few months. That’s the fun part of a RAT admin. They all want to be the Big Cheese and be the Source for all info. They cannot keep their mouths shut. Obama has this problem, too. heh.

Obama is going to have quite a time with his staffers and Nancy Pelosi’s staffers and Nancy. She can be Queen. She is the one with the power these days. Obama is merely an executive figurehead. Nancy is the one who controls the legislative agenda. Obama would be wise to coddle her and keep her under control. (that’s why Rahm is Obama’s right hand man. he’s got to control Pelosi.)

TYes, your idea is a good one. There’s so many ways to do the job, but, I think he is going to do a very good job of pointing out to the voters, why he just is NOT the right person for this job.
Actually, he didn’t do a good job as senator either. He never held a meeting of the committee where he was chairman. That’s why his supporters have shown their stupidity in such a flagrant way.

If I were Bush, I would invite him back tomorrow and tell him while pointing his finger right in his face, “If you don’t get on national TV right after this interview and apologize to me and the American people for leaking private conversations, I will not talk to you again and you will not enter this building again until January 20th. Do you have that clear? Now, I have the news media waiting. Go.”
