Barbara Bush bashes 2012 presidential hopefuls in first ladies conference

[Tx4obama]

The 2012 presidential campaign may have eight months to go, but former first lady Barbara Bush has already given it a bad review.

“I think it’s been the worst campaign I’ve ever seen in my life,” she said Monday at Southern Methodist University during a conference on the influence of the nation’s first ladies. “I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word,” she said

On a question about the loss of civility in Washington, Laura Bush recalled seeing bitter cartoons about Abraham Lincoln and diplomatically said, “You see that and you realize it’s just a part of American politics.”

But her mother-in-law disagreed. “I think the rest of the world is looking at us these days and saying, ‘What are you doing?’”

7. This silver haired old Bush Bat should shut up! To Katrina Victims, she said quote;

snip;
Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "So Many Of The People In The Arena... Were Underprivileged Anyway, So This Is Working Very Well For Them"...

As I said before, thank God the old Bush lady can't push out any more little shrubs!
I have no respect for this woman!

12. Bingo! nt

3. God help me! Iagree with her.

Or maybe she's trying to increase Jebbie's chances at being chosen in a brokered convention. Then God help us all!

8. My first thought was that she may be paving the way for Jebthro, too.

I wonder if she or Paw ever sat down to have a loooong talk about compromise with their my-way-or-the-highway son during his reign.

The hypocrisy hurts.

14. Poppy & Babs must of said

Oh my god what have I done!!!!!

[southernyankeebelle]

4. For once I agree with Mrs B. Bush. She is right since when is it wrong to compromise.

[leftyohiolib]

15. Or the One Dollar bill

[Politicalboi]

6. I think the world said

"What Are you doing" in 2000 Babs. Your son the worst president in history also a war criminal. And your POS husband who's hand has been in our future far too many times for all the wrong reasons.

16. Since the Grassy Knoll

[Thinkingabout]

9. She is right compromise is not a bad word

Are we interested in getting our country growing or interested in destroying it. She is telling the house of NO to get it together and produce. Someone needs to tell them.

10. she actually troubled her beautiful mind to assess the field?

just....wow.

17. Nice heirloom tomatoes.

11. Except...

“I hate that people think compromise is a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word,” she said

Adding, "Except, you know, when Democrats do it. Then it's cowardly and weak. But when Republicans do it, it's just brave and strong!"

[Obamacare]

13. Exactly, the old bat is a hipocrite and needs to stfu!!

Her pathetic son smeared the hell out of McCain and Kerry. But now since the rethugs are smearing themselves and her son isn't doing the smearing, there is a problem.

18. Tiger mommy syndrome

[Thrill]

19. They want Pres Obama to win

So Jeb can run the next time. On his "New Kind of Republican" Theme.
