Bush deserved the bashing. He was/is an extreme left wing liberal Republican that spent taxpayer money and increased the size of government at breath-taking speed.

Obama is not the solution, but Bush and his neocons were/are a very big part of hte problems we have. Had Bush cut back government and government below what he inherrited from Clinton instead of the headlong rush to increase spending we might still be in the private financial crisis we have been in, but we would not also be facing the same govnerment crisis.

Some of us can appreciate what Trump is doing and will support his efforts without ever contemplating voting for him. I will not bash him as long as he is bashing obama and doing the job that NO ELECTED REPUBLICAN ANYWHERE WILL DO. He is the only one with a spine. Enjoy obama’s pain... and vote 100% Conservative. Multi task.

Hope you have been ok friend... we worry about you!

You are exactly right! NOBODY is taking Obama on like he is. And the best thing about him, he speaks off the top of his head. I do advertising and if you listen to all of the other candidates they use the SAME catch phrases all the time that I can redict what they are going to say before they say it. It is like listening to a broken record. I am loving Trump telling it like it is, it’s about damn time somebody did!!! THAT is why he is getting so much attention.

Same here and he is egotistical enough to be jealous he never went after Obama on this issue.

I like what he’s saying and doing on the BC issue

Please post a source for anything he is "doing" as opposed to "saying".

‘Obama is not the solution,’

I agree with u, Zero isn’t the answer but he is there because of the likes of Bush senior, GW, and that nitwit John M. Senior with his 1000 points of light or NWO, W with his silly compassionate conservativism and Mc. with his total ineptness gave us the current dummy in the WH.

“but Bush and his neocons were/are a very big part of hte problems we have.”

You bet they are. Those necons are still entrenced in the GOP.

“Had Bush cut back government and government below what he inherrited from Clinton instead of the headlong rush to increase spending we might still be in the private financial crisis we have been in, but we would not also be facing the same govnerment cr”

I think Clinton and Bush along with the liberals and neocons created this crisis. This country did not have to suffer this crsis, it was created by both soicialist democrats and the liberal wing of the Rep. party. Clinton and Bush inherited properity from Reagan and both of them blew with there socialist uptopian ideas.

I find nothing inconsistent at all in what he has said regarding past presidents.

His comment that Carter, Bush and Obama were each “The worst presidents in history” is perfectly understandable when consideration is given to WHEN he said these things.

When Carter was president Trump said he was the worst president in history. Then later on when Bush was president he said he was the worst president in history (can’t agree he was worse then Carter though) and now with Obama as president, Trumps historical perspective allows him to state that he (Obama) is now the worst president in our history.

Right.

Americans are quick to ‘adopt’ these people who sidle into the limelight…. for whatever reason and these people are adopted no matter how inconsistent or groundless their remarks are.

Trump is a perfect example of the thing that amazes me most about celebrity.

In an age (like this) where there exists a permanent record of and instantaneous access to the minutest babbling of even the LEAST significant public figure.... why can’t these people be consistent (if nothing ELSE) in their statements or ideas?

I mean… you KNOW it is going to come back to haunt you. It is not like in the old days where no one could cast your words back in your face UNLESS they lived in a library night and day digging into dusty records for a verbatim account your past statements.

NOW- audio as well as visual records of these ‘musings’ are readily available….’musings’ made by people who (in the last analysis) should probably have kept their mouths SHUT. This includes idiot ‘celebrities’ as well as politicians/politician wannabe’s – who ought to know better.

H$#^, any loser in slam knows enough to keep his mouth shut. Unfortunately HE got hard time for being stupid but these ‘celebrities’ and politicos just get more and more attention and are never required to account for their patent ignorance, wholesale preconceptions and grotesque inconsistencies.

We don’t expect anyone to be correct 100% of the time, but consistency would be great! Consistency in your statements demonstrates that you CAN think AND that you WERE thinking when you opened your mouth!!!!

The more I find out about Bush, and I could not stand the RoveRINO stuff Bush was doing his last years in office...

Amnesty, the Patriot Act, Prescription drugs, Homeland Security instead of FIXING the intel services...

All that New World Order stuff with his dad.

Plus Bush’s daughters BOTH came out FOR Obamacare last year.

Yeah.

And Jeb has a stupid photo op with Obama last month in florida?

And Barbara Bush takes a pot shot at Sarah Palin?

I’m sorry, something’s wrong.

Trump may know, or have known stuff then, in 2008, that even Freepers didn’t know.

I said nothing about the Bushes or about inconsistencies in my posts, so both of you need to take a deep breath.

This is pretty much what I'm talking about - reacting and getting all excited without proper examination.

Look at Trump's past political donations and affiliations. Read up on how he stands on all of the issues.

I think it's great that he's yanking Obie's chain, but I'm not so bowled over that I'm pumping his for POTUS.

Not by a long shot.

Trump is full of more sh*t than a Christmas goose.

What I find more comical by the day is Trump has somehow convinced himself that he sounds sincere. His “rants” during Hannity’s interview last night had all the sincerity of WWF banter.

Don’t buy into it, folks. Trump has an ego the size of Latvia, and all this is just a vehicle for getting it massaged on a regular basis. Last night, I lost count of how many times he tried reassure himself that he’s a great guy.

I noticed that was not a screen name I had seen before. I noticed another one the other day, but is was from 2004. I checked the posting history and saw he / she / it only posts about once a month.

All true. But what I object to is Trump flippantly saying Bush made a “bull run” into Iraq just because he felt like it with no connection to 9/11. It’s astonishing that a man who certainly could hire experts and advisers to explain the Iraq war to him, and even if he still does not agree with it, would carelessly toss out a comment about it being basically entertainment for the president WHILE WE HAVE TROOPS IN THAT COUNTRY.

A mission is in progress, and the war on terror is in progress, and will be for a while and Trump ought to know that. How do you think our military folks in the field or their families at home feel hearing a famous and prestigious person like Trump say they are risking their lives just because the last president wanted to get his rocks off on war games? VERY IRRESPONSIBLE and INSENSITIVE RHETORIC not backed up by any reasoning or facts.
