Obama gives Poppy Bu$h "Medal of Freedom"?

[DemoTex]

What a crock of shit. Too bad for the real deserving recipients, like Yo-Yo Ma. Unlike the murderer Bu$h, Yo-Yo kills only softly with his songs.

But still, not nearly as bad as the Bu$h-boys "Medal of Freedom" Trifecta in 2004: Bush presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired Gen. Tommy Franks, who oversaw combat in Afghanistan and the initial invasion of Iraq, former CIA Director George Tenet and former Iraq administrator L. Paul Bremer.

Questions?

[somone]

1. Poppy will let him ride the golf cart

[DefenseLawyer]

2. And after a few drinks regale him with stories about the Bay of Pigs n/t

[Rex]

18. So fucking pathetic when our only good Dem leader in a while

gets led around by the nose - by a war mongering nobody!

[Mimosa]

3. Will the truth ever come out?

There is a reason the records are sealed.

4. Saw that sniveling creep on my Tee Vee.

The Tee Vee survived, but it was a close one.

There's just something about that weepy old nerd and that Quaker Oats dude that he lives with. It just brings out the worst in me.

That GHWB and that wrinkled up old skunk Barb are still using up oxygen is a crime against humanity.

Otherwise, I'm having a fine night.

6. 'and that Quaker Oats dude that he lives with'

heheheheheheheheheheheheheheh

5. It really does make the award meaningless. n/t

7. This is why we can't have nice things.

Throwing them away on this career, international criminal.

8. Guess he is going for the Republican vote next time.

no sarcasm intended.

[JDPriestly]

9. Disgusting. Bush, Senior should just be ignored.

[madamesilverspurs]

10. Kinda thought the medal was awarded

to those who do for people, not to people.

-----sigh-----

11. It's becoming more apparent they are all one big elite club

[_ed_]

12. Bush the First is a war criminal

He's still on borrowed time for Iran-Contra.

I wonder if Obama lauded his war service, where as the senior officer on his aircraft, he parachuted out of it, leaving his crew to die.

[BeFree]

13. Master politician

Haven't we had enough of those?

Obama has been allowed into the clubhouse, and the doors closed on the rest of us.

[Vidar]

14. They both belong in prison.

[Renew Deal]

17. Obama and Bush?

:shrug:

[dkofos]

15. WTF for??

[Vidar]

19. Treason, to start with.

[Renew Deal]

16. Every president since JFK has gotten one except Nixon.

It's a new tradition. Clinton didn't give it to him and Bush couldn't do it. So Obama did it. Clinton gave one to Gerry Ford. Someday Obama will get one and it may come from a republican.
