COLLEGE STATION, Texas – More than 500 protesters gathered at Texas A&M University this afternoon, denouncing President Barack Obama as a socialist ahead of his arrival for a forum on volunteerism.

Former President George Bush, who has a library and school of public policy on campus, had asked critics to keep their vitriol in check as he joined the current president in celebrating 20 years of his Points of Light effort – a cause that has provided common ground for all four of the most recent presidents.

Why does Bush senior continue to kawtow to the dem presidents that are horrible to his own son? It makes me have less respect for him and he looks like a lightweight.

GHWB spit out the word A.S.S. when speaking about some woman in the audience. SNL just got a new script written.

I don’t ever listen to Rush. I don’t know what Texas A&M Admin did, but all of the news reports clearly said GHWB was subtle about it and only issued the letter, which I provided a link to, and it said nothing about protesters. But some on here have a bad case of BDS, so it probably doesn’t matter what he did or didn’t do, they’d still bash him. Whatever...

Yep, I’m one with a major case of BDS. He led us to a place we may never recover from, and America suffers because of it.

What to the following have in common?
Gore, Dukakis, Kerry, Clinton, Karl Marx, and Mao Tse Dung?

They are all to the Right of Obama.

I wish GWB was our President now, with a filibuster-proof Republican Senate.

Oh PLEEEEZE!

Changing the subject isn't answering the question!

Ross who?

I may be mistaken, but I thought I read the new service bill and one of the first, if not the first thing it did was REPEAL points of light?

Remember???? Ross Perot—where life is beautiful all the time? And I did not change the subject. Let me put it as plain for you as I can: GWB was the WORSE thing to ever happen to America—Obama is on the fast track to take the position away, but without GWN Obama would never be in the seat now.

I don’t recall, but it would not surprise me. But, we are certainly making nice now.
