Wait until Former President Obama does something to outshine President Palin....it will be ugly. That is why I think Former Presidents should stay out of EVERYTHING. Yes I will be bashed for this because we have a Democratic President currently, but if we accept this we have to accept the Democratic Presidents doing it when a Republican is in charge.
Wait until Former President Obama does something to outshine President Palin....it will be ugly.Palin or any person that has the same political positions that she current stands and fighting for. .. Yeah. I agree.
Bush HAS stayed out of Obama’s way. He visited the injured.....quietly without the media.....he did this out of his own human compassion. If I could have gone I would have. You are way off base about this. Way off.
That is why I think Former Presidents should stay out of EVERYTHING.I agree again. Let's start with soon-to-be former President Obama in 2013.
Yes I will be bashed for this because we have a Democratic President currently, but if we accept this we have to accept the Democratic Presidents doing it when a Republican is in charge.I tried to accept your reason, but I can't. YOU'RE WRONG. When Obama said "let's not jump into conclusion until all facts are in", his train of thought is POLITICS. He should have said: "Let's pray for our great loss" and ask for a "national grieving". If Pelosi's train of thought is not POLITICS only, she would postpone ramming her PelosiCare in the Congress today ... and instead, she would lead the Congress to heed for a national prayer instead. It's not about Politics. It's about 12 dead Soldiers .... by all Americans, regardless of political affiliation.
I dont believe anything of a humanitarian nature could ever be resented.. Just like Carter’s Habitat for humanity etc. I don’t seriously think we will have to worry about this POTUS going out of his way to do things of kindness like visit bereaved.
I think it is a different matter when they are being statesmen & spokespeople w/o govt okay & sanction. What Carter was famous for ... and that I do resent. He would travel the world, belittling our country & did this on his own.
That is wrong. Being a tourist, lecturer is part of the perks of the after office times I believe.
I know you are right however, I do tend to think it is okay for us.. but not them.. LOL.. even with my qualifications listed.
President Bush is a Texan and a private citizen. This massacre happened in Texas. He had every right if not an obligation to visit the wounded.
Being a contrarian is addicting I know, but this one was an embarrassing stretch.
