Is Obama taking advice from Bush? Apparently so.
http://www.examiner.com/a-953145~Bush_quietly_advising_Hillary_Clinton__top_Democrats.html

The Examiner asked Bush why Democratic candidates such as Clinton and Barack Obama, who routinely lambaste his handling of Iraq, should take his advice.

“First of all, I expect them to criticize me. That’s one way you get elected in the Democratic primary, is to criticize the president,” Bush replied. “I don’t expect them to necessarily take advice from me. I would expect their insiders to at least get a perspective about how we see things.”

He added: “We have an obligation to make sure that whoever is interested, they get our point of view, because you want somebody running for president to at least understand all perspectives, apart from the politics.”

Besides, Bush suggested that Clinton and Obama just might benefit from his advice.

10. "Bush Quietly Advising Hillary Clinton"
That's the title of your article.

12. Please find something in there that supports the headline.
This OP was in response to another and is not to be taken seriously.

14. The title of the other OP was misleading. I am merely pointing out
that the article does not support the title of either thread. No where in it does it say that either Democrat is seeking out the advice of that idiot Bush. Nor does it say that either is accepting his advice.

The entire article is a sham and it was wrong of the OP poster to present it as a slam on Clinton.

19. Obama's name is in the article.
I don't get your point.

My point is that the article is misleading for the benefit of the book it is promoting and should not be used against either Clinton or Obama.

20. Apparently so. Facts don't seem to matter any more.
Substance doesn't either.
