Bush's Gift to Obama
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/16/1029646.aspx

Great point from First Read: "When President Bush -- thousands of miles away in Israel -- decided to fire his thinly veiled shot at Obama yesterday, it was a giant gift to the Illinois senator and his campaign. Why? One, it essentially kept Clinton on the sidelines just two days after her big West Virginia victory. Two, Obama's opponent was no longer Clinton or McCain, but the man with the 27% job-approval rating. And three, it rallied Democrats to Obama's side."

To keep the story going, Obama reportedly will make a "very vigorous" response to Bush's remarks today while campaigning in South Dakota.

2. Yep. 27% approval ratings don't pull much weight.

Bush pretty much accomplished the opposite of what he was trying to do.

6. Bush is such a moron...just when I think he couldn't do any more harm

7. Now, the chickenshit is saying he wasn't talking about Obama...

But, if no one had protested, they could interpret however they like? George Bush has been creating strawmen and lying for 8 years now and finally someone has called him on it.
