Obamas To Attend Bush Library Dedication

[SHRED]

Are you fucking kidding me?



WASHINGTON -- The White House says President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will attend the opening of former President George W. Bush's presidential library later this month in Dallas.

Bush and former first lady Laura Bush will dedicate the library at Southern Methodist University on April 25. The library opens to the public on May 1.

The 23-acre presidential center, which includes the library, a museum and a policy institute, has been under construction for two years. It will house more than 43,000 artifacts from Bush's presidency and more than 200 million emails.

Officials from the University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii have both traveled to Dallas to meet with officials at Bush's fledgling library as they prepare a bid to host Obama's presidential library.

1. Why wouldn't they go?

[SHRED]

3. That's true...

..one war criminal to another drone criminal.

Why not?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Cool....

That was your set up here....to call Obama a war criminal?

Awesome, dude.

[SHRED]

20. no it wasn't a "set up"

I understand that drone strikes within Pakistan and other countries such as Yemen violate International Law regarding sovereignty. I am willing to be proven wrong.

[NYC Liberal]

21. LOL...Jimmy Carter is going too. Is he also a criminal?

[Whisp]

24. I'll bet Bill Clinton will be there - he's a war criminal too

and more to the liking of the kind that George the Lesser is.

Obama is a mere piker in the war criminal department compared to these guys.

2. Presidents always go to things like that. I do hope W finishes coloring the books before the library

opens.

[Mnemosyne]

7. They're still trying to get him to hold them right-side up, doubt he's doing much better coloring.

His creepy paintings may be displayed, eww!

I'd borrow a dog to pee on those paintings. How many 'models' did he drop while 'painting' them? All of them, I'd bet, couldn't seem to hold onto poor Barney!

What a country, war criminals get libraries and 'art' shows.

[liberal_at_heart]

4. yes, I would prefer they act like children and refuse to go.

All presidents show each other respect. Whether they made good decisions or bad decisions they all shouldered the responsibility of running the country and show each other respect for that, a lot like many military members show each other respect for serving.

5. Don't get all riled up, someone has to read my pet goat to bushitler.

6. I hope the Obama's stay safe

With the DA's getting shot, and Poppy Bush will probably be there, and it is Dallas.

[arely staircase]

12. well that was sufficiently creepy

eom

[Journeyman]

8. Maybe Obama can return the favor, and shove his way through the door ahead of W. . .

like W did to Clinton when the Big Dog opened his library. . .

[arely staircase]

13. what a fucking dick

I forgot all about that.

w was so fucked up that it would probably take 100 years to recount all the fucked up things he did in eight.

[HughBeaumont]

23. It would probably take 100 years to completely recover from the Failure Fuhrer's reign of error.

[tritsofme]

10. Sorry, President Obama will not act like a petulant child, as you suggest.

He is a man who brings dignity to the presidency.

[arely staircase]

11. w went to clinton's. are you suggesting obama should be a bigger dickhead than gwb?

these posts that criticize the president for doing presidential stuff are funny.

[BlueStater]

22. "Presidential", in my mind, would have been to arrest that motherfucker for war crimes.

Not attending a ceremony honoring that murdering piece of shit.

[magellan]

26. +1

[SHRED]

27. +10

[av8rdave]

14. Seems like a long way to go to look at a handful of coloring books

[LeftofObama]

15. On the bottom of the invitation it says,

"All attendees must bring a lunch (please try to include a fruit cup and keep junk food to a minimum) and their own blanket and mat for nap time."

[Comrade_McKenzie]

17. It's the classy thing to do. The Obamas have more class...

Than most Americans have in their pinky.

[demwing]

19. well that's not very much class!

My pinky is vulgar and boorish. I'd never invite my pinky anywhere.

Now my thumb? There's a classy digit.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

25. He's the sitting President. It's pretty much a duty of the office, like it or not.

Fortunately, I don't think it's that big, so he'll probably not have to spend a whole lot of time there:
