Andrew Card implies that President Obama is being uppity about killing Bin Laden

[RandySF]

President Obama has 'pounded his chest' too much and taken too much pride in the success of the mission to take out Osama bin Laden, according to, of all people, George W. Bush's former Chief of Staff, Andrew Card.

In an interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel, Card said that Obama has "pounded his chest" too much over the death of Osama bin Laden, particularly by going to Ground Zero earlier this week, the site of the 9/11 attacks.

"I think he has pounded his chest a little too much," Card said. "He can take pride in it, but he does not need to show it so much."

1. Yeah, Bush would never go to Ground Zero and pound his chest

...... without a hard hat and a bullhorn.

Who does Obama think he is?!

:rofl:

[applegrove]

18. LOL! Or land on an aircraft carrier dressed as a fighter pilot.

[quinnox]

2. OMG

"Pounding his chest", nice not so subtle reference to the racist "blacks are gorillas" feeling among the extreme right.

[Justitia]

6. 1st thing I thought of...."is he calling our president a gorilla?" -eom

[Botany]

3. Please

[malaise]

7. Bush attending a fancy dress parade

I love that photo for its humor

[KansDem]

4. You have to understand that Card is use to working with Presidents like George W.

You know, a President who sits and does nothing when told the US is under attack...

[young_at_heart]

10. Bush looks so very presidential in the photo

Obama would have immediately excused himself and the teacher could have easily turned the kids attention to other things. Sitting and doing nothing for seven minutes is inexcusable!! When Jefferson Davis got word from Lee to evacuate while at a church service he didn't sit and "contemplate" the situation----he left immediately. The media just ignores all the implications.

13. The TOWN DRUNK who got to the OVAL was STUPIFIED, PARALYZED, and SKEERED SHITLESS

[indepat]

16. Pray tell, what else did junior know to doo other than what told? Cut him some slack

fer Christ's sake! :D :patriot:

[malaise]

5. Damn they really are in pain

Fucking losers. :puke:

[Bluenorthwest]

8. There are few humans lower than Andy Card

He is scum.

[trackfan]

9. This, from the "Mission Accomplished"/flight suit people?

What a strange world these people live in.

[spanone]

11. at least he didn't fly onto an aircraft carrier in a flight suit like a big Dick

[mainer]

12. Our guy has no need for a codpiece to emphasize his dick

[99 Percent Sure]

14. The 'u' word needs to be retired. Period.

It is only used mainly by white folk to describe black people who "don't know their place" even when/if used to describe an "implication."

But then what do I know? I'm only a civil rights era baby boomer who believes all uses of the 'n' and 'c' words by anyone is derogatory and definitely unnecessary.

:shrug:

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. One thingwe must remember here:

Andrew Card is a major league asshole.

I saw him on TV earlier this week and he still has Bush's assprint on his flat face.

[Terra Alta]

17. and if Dumbya had captured Osama

he WOULDN'T be pounding his chest?

Well, he probably would have been, but it's very likely Card would have given him a pass on it.

[Brigid]

19. At least Obama has something to be "uppity" about.

Unlike his predecessor.

[lucca18]

20. Shut Up Andrew Card!

Enough!!
I am tired of this crap from the repugs. They just don't stop ........
