A Hat Tip To Bush
IBD Editorials ^ | July 11, 2011 | Staff

Freedom: As South Sudan joyfully celebrated its independence from Sudan, President Obama hailed it as the fruit of partnership, togetherness, hope and unity. South Sudanese, however, hailed President Bush.

Proudly wearing the black cowboy hat given to him by President Bush, South Sudan's new president, Salva Kiir Mayardit, couldn't have made a stronger statement about who made his country's independence possible after 50 years of warfare.

"It was George Bush and the Christian fundamentalists who heard the cry of South Sudan," affirmed a South Sudanese man quoted by the Los Angeles Times.

But to hear the White House — in its official recognition of the new republic, as well as on the White House blog and in an op-ed published earlier this year, President Bush had nothing to do with this.

“Proudly wearing the black cowboy hat given to him by President Bush...”

I was wondering about that. Funny how NO ONE in the MSM mentioned that despite seeing that photo at least a dozen times. /sarc

Blame Bush! Oh wait...what? Typical of this crass administration. Taking credit where it’s undue (yes, that includes killing Osama, IMHO) while shirking blame and responsibilities for unfavorable items like the economy.

You can’t have it both ways, Zero!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

A typical reaction of this insecure person with his shriveled soul. Dear Pres. Reagan and Pres. Bush, with their expansive natures, never were so desperate for approval that they were jealous of the achievements of others.

Glenn Beck spoke to the Knesset yesterday in Israel. According to The Jerusalem Post, at the end of his speech, a member of the Knesset asked Beck to send her love to George W Bush. It's nice to know that real allies might acknowledge a former U.S. President with respect and affection, in spite of the Obamanation sitting in the White House for now.

That arrogant pos who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave keeps proving, whether he wants it or not that he is the worst president of all times

The LORD will remember. Amen.

Amen and AMEN! The LORD will remember! And the Lord is exactly who George W. Bush sought to serve as President, and seeks to serve even now.

We were blessed by his servant-leadership, and so were all those around the world who are now free because of what he accomplished!

I remember that when George Will was asked about Bill Clinton whether he was the worst President in history, he said, No.....but he was the worst man to ever be President.

That's no longer accurate.

Obama has now surpassed all others in being the 'worst'......both as a president, and as a man.

It’s almost comical at how Obama is desperately trying to steal the honor of other peoples’ work, except that he’s completely serious about it and has a propaganda machine ready to serve him.
