Could it be because, no one on God's green earth cares one whit about what W. thinks of anything or anybody? He and McCain sure scared the Russians out of Georgia, didn't they? No wait, they didn't, that's right...

If the Republicans were smart, they would ban Bush from the convention. If he has to appear, it should be right off the bat, the first speaker of the first nite, so he can be forgotten as quickly as possible.

W will be finished 'speaking' at the convention just in time for his next hurricane flyover!

I just love the tripe from Perino about W having "class"....and she said it without a close-pin on her nose! LMAO

I care what President Bush thinks. Always have and always will and before this is all over, you people that love to critize and whatever else you can think of will wish you had him back to.
Had said you are.

Michelle Obama is right about one thing - "America is a down right mean country", with the Democrats being the meanest of all.

Let's face it, if there was any way possible the McCain campaign could have avoided having Bush speak they would have. But he can't so I am sure they asked Bush to not say anything that would draw more attention to his address. It is not a bad strategy really. Get him in and out as quietly as possible

Mr. Barack Obama's has opinions on many subjects, but has been in very few positions in government where his ideas have been put to the test.
This gentleman, whom I regard in high esteem, is an intellectual who does not have the practical experience required to be Commander in chief or CEO of the United States of America.
This person has one qualification, at this particular time in his life, he can talk, and discuss in a charming manner.
Let him continue his Senate role, gain the practical application experience, then in future years, run for the top job in America.
Talking and promising, is all very well, it has it’s place certainly, but the President of the United States has to consider Congress and the Senate, so the golden voice of Senator Barack Obama does not qualify him to move into the White house with disregard for practical experience of which he has not yet attained.
I wish him well in his future endeavors, but advise him to sit out this particular endeavor and await a future date to continue.

Some thought for the Voters…. Looking for Presidential material in Mr Obama.

Has he got what it takes ..it will be too late after he is elected, and you desire to change your mind.
He is a Lawyer…
How many years has he practiced law, that career is now at an end and he now giving it up.
He appears as a honest person, but he has not been in any position as such to be a proven honest
He obtained some experience in State legislature, but for how long.
He can talk that is true, he is a great communicator, most lawyers are, and he promises much.
But these are just promises none of which may come to pass.
He appears friendly that also is true, politicians are always friendly till they get elected.
Where is all his political experience, that I do not see. How many years has he had in the Senate.
Where does his experience come from to be knowledgeable about our the economy and our country..
Where does his experience come from to be Commander in Chief of all the Military in USA.
Where on earth has all his campaign money come from, he is not a rich man, he does however know some people who to say the least, have a reputation that is soiled and associated with people of ill repute..
He is a religious man, but the church he attended appears to have been one he should have rejected many years ago, simply because of his minister, but he even got married in that particular church by that minister.
I am always particularly interested when someone can raise money in the large volume that he has, and it begs an explanation.
Who does he know and what does he feel obligated to do for that amount of funding, from those that supplied the cash.
There is no free lunch , someone is expecting large favors from this gentleman when he becomes president .
It will be interesting to see the outcome in the future.

Oh, Kerri! What crap you spew! I was just remarking the other day about what respect we Dems have shown John McCain in return for the Republican's belittlment and cheapening of all War heros from the Vietnam Era just to get their guy "in". I will never forgive you Repuglicans for the disrepect and mean spirited campaign you ran in '04

No one gives a damn about that Warmonger Bush. He will go down as the worse president of our generation. What has he done over the last 8years to benifit america,nothing.

He's spent biilions of dollars on a unecassary war,thus destroying our economy.

He destroyed allot of the good will with leaders from other countries.with his i will do whateva the hell i want attiude

More people hate us, and want to see us dead, and this world is a more dangerous place to live in.

He's freaking horrible. and you people who support and defend him, should burn in the eternal flames of hell right along with him.

Mr.Bush you will be judged by the God, you claim to follow so much. May he condeme you to hell for your dishonorable actions and warcrimes.

Ummm....excuse me, but I think th eprize for "the meanest of all" goes to the Repubs. Some day, when the dust settles out, I think history will look much less kindly on the Reagan administration, as the beginning of all the bashing. Public education? "Sucks, and here's the proof." Lies. "Liberals are weak on defense! I brought down the Commies!" Right--they had nothing to do with their own demise.
Morons.
And now they are trotting out the Alaskan hottie to be the savior of November. Better hope McCain says healthy. You want her running the show? Oh wait, yeah you do...another "stoolie" to push around....

So if Perino says that Bush isn't attacking Obama because Bush has class. Does that mean McCain has no class by her standards?

Bring on it on Dems about the Republican VP experience. Fact is she has more than Barrack. She is also a fresh face and reformer to Washington which both Biden and Barrack are not.

The ole fox has out foxed the arrogant fool

to Janice:
Seriously? I wish you all the best in your recovery from the stroke you had that led you to care what GW thinks.

Bush won't attack Obama. What is there that Bush can attack about? Did Obama run our country into the ground, did Obama lie to the American public about missiles in Iraq, did Obama wire-tap Americans, did Obama torture innocent people, etc, etc,?

What experience? Shooting moose? The state was ready for anyone to come in and end corruption and she should be commended for that. But being part-time mayor of Smallville doesn't make you experienced on the world stage.
And if you folks are going to go on about Biden being an insider, then you have to look at your own Prez candidate kind of sideways too, right?

I'm looking forward to this one. The republicans actually think her pick was smart? So they brought somebody of limited experience to the table. Can't use that line anymore. They brought somebody who is a reformer. In order to prove the case a reformer is necessary they have to admit things are screwed up. In order to admit things are screwed up McCain will have to justify why he sided with "screwed up" 90% of the time. Not to mention that her major reforms have to do with putting big oil on notice. So let me get this straight. The lobbyists for McCain are going to love this? And as americans should we? We'll not only have an energy policy which continues oil dependance but now it won't involve american jobs either? Isn't that just the big win for the american people. Yep, sounds like more of the same. This is a pick to suck in people who are undecided and not thinking, for which nothing will change since the VP has limited capacity to change anything, for which more tax breaks will go to big business and the wealthy, and for which more jobs will be sent to other countries. Nice! And the Dems should view this selection as a threat? He might has well have wrapped this up with a bow. Let the debates begin!

No need to attack when the shortfalls of the DNC ticket are so obvious and full of holes. Palin has more experience in budget management and ethics reform, cost cutting, and giving back to the people than either candidate on the DNC ticket. I bet the DNC is missing Hillary today. This is great news for the GOP ticket.

Exactly I dont take anything away from his VP pick, but it sounds like a desperate gimmick to win over pissed off Hillary women. Memo, she still doesnt stand for the values Senator Clinton stands for. And Biden is going to eat her alive.

To be honest, Noone not Obama,Mccain, or Clinton will be able to do much to fix the mess, Bush has gotten us into, at least not in the next 4years. Save whatever you can people, cause were in for a bumpy ride.

I would rather have someone that trips over his words and does what is right than a fantastic speaker like Obama. At least i know it comes from the heart.
Show me what you can do, because your words mean nothing to me. I have yet to hear one reasonable POLICY that will help the economy. All of my tires are already filled. We need something that is an action rather than rhetoric from him.

I like Obama better than Mccain. It doesnt mean i would vote for him. I am proud to fully support my Commander and Chief, who i will miss.
