Via Politico:
. . . Another illustration of presidential hubris involved the Bush family. The White House put out a picture of a private meeting in the Oval Office on Jan. 27 that included former President George H.W. Bush and his son, Jeb, the former governor of Florida.
The Bushes were in town for the annual black tie dinner the next night at the Alfalfa Club, a gathering of business and political elites. The two featured speakers, both intended to be brief and humorous, were Obama and Jeb Bush. The president spoke to good reviews. He left before Bush spoke.
Obama hates such dinners. Some of his aides, in particular his political adviser David Plouffe, urged him not to spend an evening mingling with the 1 percent. Yet he chose to go, and attendees said it was the first time they could recall a speaker leaving before the other side had its fun. In addition, Obama’s 87-year-old predecessor was present.

Why is George H.W. Bush in a wheel chair? Anyone know?
Well we all know that no one can accuse the Obama’s of having class.
The Alfalfa Club?
No, actually that was in Club Spanky but I still got a laugh!
I’d walk out on both Barry and Jeb.
Poor Jebbie was disrespected by the messiah, what a shame. Just what do the Bushs expect when they sit down with the thug in chief. One thing Jesse Jackson said that we can all agree on is “out the Bushs”.
NEVER liked the old man. Especially after watching him dismantle Reagan’s vision. He was nothing like President Reagan. Never knew much about Jeb but heard good things about him but have sinced soured.
I do not have ill feelings toward GW though. His own mom and dad have tried to ‘distance’ themselves from GW’s conservative side; he does have one.
Laura...very upsetting to find her stances on homosexuals and abortion. She’s dead to me.
just mho
The Alfalfa Club, Zero should have been the guest of honor.
His rsvp should of been FUBO
What’s an ‘elite’?
Right on
More proof that while one may take a ‘GhettoRAT’ out of the ghetto, one can not take the ‘RAT’ out of the ‘GhettoRat’.
Sorry, but I’m not ‘embracing diversity’ at all well this afternoon.
Bump.
If I remember right about GHWB, he tried to get Reagan shutdown in 1980 in the primaries. IMHO, when he remarked about “kinder, gentler nation”, it was a thinly veiled jab at President Reagan.
Reagan didn’t play games and that is why I liked him. GHWB was the kind of “to get along, you go a along”, ivy league, executive country club type. Those types like him have done a lot of damage. And Romney is another establishment member. And it is a shame that he is winning the primaries. I want to be wrong that Romney is going to be the GOP pick. I had a hunch and made a comment back in November that Romney was going to be the pick especially when all these made up sex accusations were made on Herman Cain. Kind of interesting how the accusers disappeared from the spotlight as soon as he stepped down !
> NEVER liked the old man. Especially after watching him dismantle Reagan’s vision. He was nothing like President Reagan.
Base closings began under GHWB, globalism began, the phrase ‘New World Order’ was coined during his presidency and those are just the well ‘known’ things that stuck in my craw and made me detest him. The only ‘right’ thing he did and even that is suspect, was fighting Iraq. He didn't finish Hussein off though and left us with another future war; against a much more fortified enemy.
Nope, nothing good came from GHWB. He rode President Reagan's successes followed by Blow Job Clinton who also rode what was left of it.
We will be stuck with Romney and it will finish us as a sovereign nation. Even if he wins the Presidency, he is not all that different from Obama. In fact, if we make it to another election, and Romney is elected, it will take a blast to get the current Marxists out or a huge compromise such as: keeping on his hand chosen picks that are in there now. Whom btw are mostly avowed communists.
"The future so bright....I gotta wear shades.."
Their idea of limited government power, is that power is limited to them: white bread, Anglican, masons, etc.
God spare us from such "leaders."
Well put.
What the hell were the Bush’s doing in a ‘private’ meeting with the marxist anyway?
............
I saw the picture of the two Bushes in the Oval Office with the Evil SOB. They should be ashamed of themselves. Ashamed!
Yep, it’s all about the New world Order and the USA is now a Marxist dominated Oligarchy.
The Bushes and Obama and Clintons’ et. al. are all part of the Nomenclatura.
