WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush offered his congratulations to Sen. Barack Obama for securing the Democratic presidential nomination, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said on Wednesday.

"President Bush congratulates Sen. Obama for clinching the Democratic party's 2008 nomination for president," Perino told reporters. "He knows from personal experience that the presidential nominating process is a grueling one and Sen. Obama came a long way in becoming his party's nominee."

1. Maybe the new Republican strategy is to have Bush back Obama.

That would probably hurt Obama more than Bush backing McCain.

2. If I was Obama I would tell Chucklenuts to stick it where the sun don't shine! n/t

3. But he did it through the media...imagine that.

"Perino said Bush did not personally call to offer his congratulations."

4. He probably tried but was put on hold

and told to wait his turn because the well wisher line was pretty long.

Accepting a bush call is probably not high on Obama's list at this time.

5. Maybe Bush can give Clinton some tips

Clinton could use some help on graciousness

7. That's out of line.

And Clinton isn't my candidate.

9. So Bush is better than Clinton?

Thank God DUers do not resemble reality.

6. Ouch! Hillary just got Bushwhacked.

8. Bush said "Hillary will be the Democratic nominee" Dec/2007

Yet another thing Bush has gotten 100% wrong, oh happy day when he leaves office. God, I fear the turd's Bush will leave us between now and Jan. 20th.

11. hahahaha Even the shrub knows what Hillary doesn't

Ole George W doesn't do much with class, but this time he has just out-classed both Clintons.
