When President Bush was interviewed for Fox News Sunday this weekend, Chris Wallace kept trying to get the President to comment on the election. At one point, Wallace asked, "Do you think there's a rush to judgment about Barack Obama. Do you think voters know enough about him?"
Bush replied, "I certainly don't know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was that he's going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad."
The biased media never covers any of the dumb things that Obama says. I hope the President continues to draw attention to it.

Attack Pakistan? Because of his August speech saying that something needs to be done about the al-Qaeda camps and Bin Laden there? I don't believe he ever said that Pakistan should be invaded or attacked, but I don't disagree that something needs to happen there on some level.
Like I care what President Bush has to say about any of the candidates. He doesn't have to approve of his successor, just get out of the office.

Hmmm, so the media failed to quote Bush, quoting Obama?
:thinking:
Here's some other Bush quotes:
"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." —at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.'' —Townsend, Tenn., Feb. 21, 2001
I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. It's pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 23, 2004
"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption." —Trenton, N.J., Sept. 23, 2002
"Do you have blacks, too?" —to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001
"It is white." —after being asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001
"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things." —aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004
(My personal favorite)
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

To be fair, I objectively think that's a fucking awesome thing to say, and I would do the same thing if I was the most powerful person on earth.

It is. He's just bad at saying what he means, most of the time. So it might not be a good idea to quote him as a source of what someone else said.

Thanks for bringing this up. This should serve as an excellent and helpful reminder of not only how uninformed Bush is, but how stupid he is in his interpretations of other people's statements.
To an extent, I am hoping Huckabee gets his miracle and gets the nomination. Not because I wish ill will on McCain, but more because it may finally help to serve notice;
A landslide victory for Obama/Clinton over him would vindicate the truth that no one gives two fucking shits about the batshit crazy terrorists in this country that people otherwise call Evangelicals.

Yeah.
We didn't have Ammajinnawhooza' over for breakfast on several occassions. And I don't exactly remember Obama making any sort of gesture as to embracing him.
I do remember the Paki comments and I actually thought they were awesome because you have this super liberal guy; Obama, with the voice to harp upon such blatant intances of harboring terrorists rhetoric not being applied. It sort of goes in scheme with the way our administration made the gradation from going-after-Bin-Laden to global terror, which was comical.
If Iraq could blow up every single one of its U.S.-contracted-to-China oil wells without there being a single life lost or injury sustained, I'd be all for it.

I don't get it.
First your type (or the type you're trying to imitate) wants us to believe that Obama is a terrorist, or at least a radical muslim.
Next is the applaud for torturing anyone suspected of terrorism or in any way linked to it ... and even more fear mongering with "That is good news. A trial on the 9/11 attacks to be held right before the election will remind everyone what is at stake." in reference to an actual trial after all of these years.
As much as the words "War on Terror" gives your type a woody ... one would think such a gross mistake of Obama's actual words would seal the deal and get you tards to start campaigning for him instead of chasing your tails.

Naw that won't happen, otherwise he couldn't be VP.
I'm afraid a Huckleberry VP role is not out of the picture.
Its not something that I would hope for, but at the same time - exactly how much damage can a VP make with a hard head like McCain in office. I wouldnt think Huckleberry would have near the impact on the Vice Presidency as Cheney has had. Nor does he have the experience that Cheney has.

What scares me about McCain...
isn't him going crazy. I don't think we'd be in Iraq currently if he was president for the last 8 years. you play the hand yer dealt, and he is pretty much fuzucked when he gets in.
oh yeah what scares me. what scares me is if he were to have Romney or Huckabee as a VP. PLEASE Johny, PLEASE pick someone else. you are 71 years old, and if you die in office I do NOT want either of these slappies taking the helm!!!
not that I think a Republican could win this election but you never know, they did vote George W. in for a second term :(

Look at what the options were .... I'm actually surprised it was a close race.

To the McCain ticket it means plenty. He's the least popular guy in the party, which means who he picks as VP will have a greater impact on his ticket than who the opponent picks for their ticket.

Don't count out the Democrats quite yet. They have a stunning history of nominating a complete loser. There's still hope they nominate Clinton still...

If Hillary pulls out the DNC nomination then as Clove says, "McCain can pick a trained cat for a running mate... Hill-hate will drive his nomination [general election]".
If Obama wins the DNC nomination, then McCain will need Huckleberry and the pull of the religious right to even think about defeating Obama.
Time will tell.

I doubt he was the least popular among Republicans... he was just the least popular among the staunch conservatives... which isn't a majority in the party.
And in the General Election.. he is basically a conservative Democrat.. giving him broad appeal. The loony liberals won't like him.. and the religious retards won't like him.. but most of the people in the middle will.

Which is exactly why his choice in VP will be crucial.

Pakistan is an ally of the Untied States in the GWOT. Obama should have known that.

The only reason I would even slightly agree is because of McCain's age.. and people might be looking at the VP as someone that will probably become President.
Typically, the VP means very little to the ticket.

Pakistan is as much of an ally as the UAE .... or more specifically the Saudis.
When Libya (not that they were ever really a terrorist state) wanted their own nuclear program, be it for arms or utility) .... who was it that acted as supplier and consultant ... Pakistan.
Pakistan has really done nothing for this "war on terror" other than give up portions of their border to terrorists. Obama has never said he would attack or invade Pakistan, rather do what they won't ... and that is directly assault terrorist strongholds and camps within Pakistan's borders ... not usurp the existing government of Pakistan.
The only reason I would even slightly agree is because of McCain's age.. and people might be looking at the VP as someone that will probably become President.
Typically, the VP means very little to the ticket.
McCain's choice in VP won't matter to those that vote GOP every election.
You said it yourself, McCain is more of a conservative dem than he is a republican. His appeal is to moderates.
McCain going up against Obama will be a mix up in the centrist vote with nothing but the choice in VP to attract the vote of the uncommitted right.
Without the non-party conservative vote ... McCain loses to Obama.
The choice in VP becomes less critical with a Clinton match-up since Clinton would drive those votes to McCain.

Given the three sections of Pakistan basically given Islamic terrorist self rule... I don't get why Republicans wouldn't be FOR this.

The old saying "Democrats fall in love with their candidate, Republicans fall in Line" will be more true this election than ever before. The conservative base is voicing their concerns and opinions now.. but when it comes to the election.. it'll still be a choice of him vs. Obama.. and the conservatives will vote with McCain.

Don't be so sure. I'm going to have a hard time deciding who to vote for if it's Obama vs McCain.
