President Obama Insults Former President Bush At His Own Portrait Hanging
The Blaze ^ | 5/31/12 | Mytheos Hold

Posted on 05/31/2012 9:51:15 PM PDT by Nachum

Apparently, as with so many other things, some people who hold the Presidency have class and some don’t. To all appearances, former President George W. Bush is the former, and current President Barack Obama is the latter, at least if this afternoon‘s unveiling of former President Bush’s Presidential portrait is any guide.

This event – which is, at least in theory, supposed to be free of partisan sniping, got an earful of just that when President Obama gave his introductory remarks welcoming Bush:

President Obama on Thursday twisted the knife he‘d stuck in his predecessor’s legacy, reminding former President George W. Bush that he left the economy a mess and al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden alive when he left the White House three years ago.

“The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time,” Obama told a crowd of mostly former Bush administration officials and members of the Bush family, including Bush’s parents, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush.[...]

“We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn’t know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been,” Obama continued, raising some eyebrows among the Bush crowd seated just a few feet away.

The “You left me with some really good sports programming” was a jab too.. As if to say that’s the only good thing Bush left him with.

I agree and that includes some of my family members who voted for the Marxist fairy.

For months the Insider reports that he is hearing that Michelle is miserable.

Could this have all started when Reggie Love left the building? Maybe Barry is miserable and he is taking it out on Michele. Hmmmm... Inquiring minds want to know.

They’re more subtle than that. They’ll let him hang himself.

It’s nice to have them together because the juxtaposition of class and classless sharpens the difference between them all the more.

BINGO!! I've been saying "WATCH the vacations they take this summer"!!! If Michelle and the girls go on more expensive vacations, Bammy is feeling he's got the election in the bag. If they go to State Fairs and such, he KNOWS he;s in trouble.

MICHELLE will be very,very unhappy if she can't take her entourage on million dollar trips this summer.

Windflier, I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry at that graphic.

I think both reactions are valid.

I’d expect nothing less from this narcessitic POS.

The Obamas are presumptuous, self-centered spoiled brats who put it upon everyone else to establish appropriate boundaries. It's the excuse for "anything goes" - no self-control, introspection, or attitude adjustments required.

It's the manner in which they delude themselves into believing that it is *always* someone else's fault, because we-didn't-know-better, weren't-told, didn't-realize-how-touchy-everyone-else-is, and so forth. They have rejected mature, adult thinking processes because discernment, grace, tact, and respect for others require genuine consideration and compassion towards real human beings with feelings. Also required is a permanent smackdown of the Obamas' monstrous egos. Oh no, not thaaaat!

These shifty, witless, artless, arrogant Obamas want no such responsibility. Their hard hearts crave a self-focused, childlike existence because with that fantasy comes no expectation of real-world accountability.

You've heard of people who are childless by choice? These fools and their fellow travelers are perpetual children by choice. They only understand abject force and restraint, because they refuse to abide by wisdom, knowledge, and instruction.

FUBO, and your hideous, harridan sidekick. Get out of our White House, you filthy defiler of everything that Americans hold dear.

/rant (at least until next time!)

I watched it and it was NOT satire. He dissed Bush on purpose and GW made him look like a fool. Yes, George, we miss your terribly.

Comment self-censored to avoid being suspended.

Why would anyone be surprised by this?

Obama is just being Obama.
