Ed Gillespie tells National Review Online that President Obamas demonization of political operatives reeks of desperation. Can you imagine former president Bush talking about Bob Shrum? he laughs. It is just remarkable that he is so willing to diminish the office. Its starting to look like the Oval Office is swallowing him up.
Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, singled out Gillespie, the longtime Republican strategist and former counselor to Pres. George W. Bush, by name on Wednesday. At an afternoon press briefing, Gibbs cited Gillespie, along with fellow former Bush adviser Karl Rove, as a Republican leader involved with fundraising groups that hide behind the shroud of secrecy and anonymity.
Gillespie and Rove are associated with American Crossroads, a 527 political organization. The group, along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has been targeted by Democrats in recent days....
Gillespie finds the White Houses attacks on the Chamber of Commerce curious. Most people in the real world dont think of the Chamber of Commerce as a big building on H Street in Washington, D.C. They think of it as a storefront on Main Street in their hometown. They dont see the dry cleaners, and the pet-shop owners, and the grocery-store owners who are members of the chamber as villains. They see them as people who try to create jobs.
This kind of rhetoric and behavior only reinforces the idea that Obama is not up for the office, Gillespie says. Its just the latest in a long litany of demons that theyve tried to attack, going all the way back to Rush Limbaugh, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell . . . its what they do.
there is a child occupying the White House....its’ about time the GOP grows some cojones and calls it like it is...
This whole Obama administration is one gigantic political ‘trailer park trash complex’. My apologies to trailer parks.
What a trailer-park legacy of these Democrat presidents of the past 35 years:
- Jimmy Carter
- Bill Clinton
- Barack Hussein Obama
nobama is but a continuation of a history of immature, disturbed, incompetent DIMocRAT Presidents. Bwaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I gotta get that twitch in my finger checked! Sorry.
The President is a jackass.
No class, so sense of dignity, no gravitas, no appreciation for the office, no clue about what is appropriate. Etc. Raised in a foreign country.
I had the same thought a couple of days ago, only mine was “can you imagine George W. Bush going after James Carville like this”?
FWIW, I’m one of those increasingly numerous folks who miss Dubya.
