Why is G.W. Bush repeating Clintonian talking points against Barack Obama?

[calteacherguy]

``I believe I have the right kind of experience to be the next president,'' and those credentials ``uniquely equip me to be prepared to hit the ground running on day one,'' Clinton said in a speech today, according to a transcript.

Bush also weighed in on Obama, saying that the Illinois Democrat's statement that he would meet with leaders of rogue nations without preconditions was an ``odd foreign policy.''

``What I think these candidates don't understand is how complex an environment it is inside the Oval Office,'' Bush said. ``It's impossible for anybody to fully comprehend.''

Why is he repeating Clinton's talking points? Is there a hidden agenda here? Discuss...

1. Bush is saying nice things about Hillary because

She's the right person to continue his legacy.

[ElizabethDC]

2. Too bad he

actually hasn't endorsed her.

[Colobo]

9. Hillary delivered a low blow to Obama today.

It's time to be rough with the woman.

[ElizabethDC]

10. So you're going to be "rough" by lying?

Well, I guess we all do the best we can.

[Colobo]

11. Yeah, Hillary is doing what she can

but throwing mud at Obama won't do her any good.

[ElizabethDC]

12. If you can't take the heat . . .

I guess you make stuff up. You and I both know that Bush didn't endorse HRC. I'm sorry to see you get so desperate, Katz. It's not your usual style.

[Colobo]

14. Relax, Liz.

C'mon, Liz. First, there is no need to take my post too seriously. Bush hasn't endorsed Hillary, but has had kind words for her. I'm exaggerating that and posting something that shows my displeasure with Hillary, especially after her stupid, baseless attack on Obama's personal experiences.

The post has been edited to make it less scandalous. :)

16. "Rough" and women doesn't sound right.

[Colobo]

19. I didn't intend to be sexist, dear Emily.

And a hug for you, dear friend. :hug:

[emilyg]

24. And a big hug back.

[Catherine Vincent]

4. Come on, Katz.

Don't be repeating this bull.

[calteacherguy]

8. Nice pic.

When was it taken?

[Capn Sunshine]

20. Prior to the first debate

[ClarkUSA]

7. ZING!

You got that right.

[Catherine Vincent]

3. You're late. nt

[ClarkUSA]

5. Because it's a shame to have 15 years of RNC oppo-research go to waste.

And for the same reason Newt Gingrich, Bill Kristol and Karl Rove think she'll be the nominee and a "formidable" opponent.

6. A supervising 7-11 clerk can easily replace Bush, so Huckabee is a plus I guess...?

[Captain Hilts]

13. Why are DUers repeating RNC talking points about our candidates? nt

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Because they're idiots? nt

[silverojo]

22. What are we supposed to do, ignore what the RW'ers say?

Know thine enemy....

[Captain Hilts]

23. No, just consider the source. nt

[illinoisprogressive]

17. The Bushes and the clintons are BFFs

[Just-plain-Kathy]

18. When will people realize that? ...n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

21. If Hillary gets elected,

but by then it will be too late.

[rufus dog]

25. the whole thing is playing out exactly as expected

Stay close until just before Thanksgiving, put on a push and get people talking on Thanksgiving, make another surge before Christmas and there you have it. A way to beat the Clintons and annoy the living shit out of Bushites! Tomorrow is TOO LATE TO STOP THE OBAMA TRAIN BEFORE THANKSGIVING! It is a travel day and the momentum can't be stopped until after Thanksgiving. The Hillary runs a perfect campaign crew just saw Obama go the length of the field for a Touchdown before halftime and take the big MO into the break! They got their ASS handed to them and hopelly won't realize it until it is too late!

[ClarkUSA]

26. Good play-by-play analysis of what's happening.

Obama is showing voters and supporters alike that he knows how to handle Hillaryworld.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. lol
