Bush applauds Clinton's experience, "very formidable candidate"
Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush said today that Democrat Hillary Clinton has a better grasp of the ``pressure'' of the presidency than any other 2008 White House candidate because of her experience as first lady.

``There is no question that Senator Clinton understands pressure better than any of the candidates, you know, in the race,'' Bush told ABC News in an interview set for broadcast tonight, according to excerpts released by the network. He repeated his view that she is a ``very formidable candidate.''

2. Who needs the RW hate machine when we have DU.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these "enlightening" posts turn up on the GOP campaign trail.

Bravo!

You're doing their job for them.

3. Talk about the kiss of death!
Every time a GOPer praises Hillary, she loses credibility among her own. Not that she cares, she knows we have nowhere else to go but with the Democratic party.

5. Yeah, tell that to Kerry...
How many votes did he lose to Nader?

Those who did vote for him handed the Presidency to Bush on a silver platter.

More than likely it will happen again come the next election.

6. They know she's their only hope of mobilizing their voters
Plus, if she gets elected, George knows that's the fastest way to get Jeb into the White House.

7. Anyone endorsed by bu$h is not the candidate that I want in the White House
If I were still a supporter of Clinton, that would be the end right then and there.

9. And think twice....just why are they praising Hillary Clinton
every body with any sense knows why. They are scared shitless of her. And want to do anything they can to throw her off tract. Is bush praising ANY of the republican candidates. Hell no. He doesn't want to ruin their chances. But he would love to ruin Hillary's.

15. Scared of a Senator with no exec. experience who is essentially unelectable?
I doubt it. They want Hillary bad. They know that they can beat her.

Sounds like the kiss of death to me, when this imbecile speaks.

13. I have never believed anything that Bush has had to say......
and so I believe this is simply a ploy from the GOP to get Dems to hate Hillary that much more. Seems to be working, unfortunately for us, the party of the manipulated easily. :(
