Relations between Obama and Bush 'awkward.' Really. |
2010-09-03 |
![]() The two leaders spoke yesterday as Obama announced the end of US operations in Iraq. The last conversation they had was in January when Obama asked Bush to raise money along with former president Bill Clinton for Haiti. "There is, of course, no obligation for presidents to keep in touch with their predecessors, and there is no evidence that Mr Obama and Mr Bush bear any ill will toward each other," the New York Times said. |

#6 especially as Obama blames the previous administration for saddling him with two wars and a bad economy. It's called reality. Something idealists aren't particularly good at dealing with. |

#5 especially as Obama blames the previous administration for saddling him with two wars and a bad economy. Um, no one forced him to run for the job...he bought it, he owns it. |

#4 So President Obama is willing to talk to the worldÂ’s despots without preconditions but he is loathe to consulting with his predecessor. That should tell you much about this mans character. |

#3 Its always NOT part of the narrative that Mr. Obama was part of the Donk Congress which controlled the purse strings and legislation for two years prior to his election to the office. There are many inconvenient truths like this. Unfortunately there are too many people who still believe the narrative that is put forth. If Obama were smart he would take from the wisdom and experience of George W. Bush. That he doesn't speaks to his arrogance. |
