Obama has a hell of a sense of humor

[malaise]

That section of the speech yesterday on Israel/Palestine that ReTHUGS are attacking was a direct quote from Dumbya's speech back when. :rofl:

[Ineeda]

1. Brilliant!

I'd love to see a link or source so I could pass it along.

[malaise]

2. They just played the Bush tape on Tweety

Smerconich is hosting today. Damn that was funny - it was almost verbatim.

6. Not the same speech, the one on Hardball was in 2008. nt

[malaise]

13. I realized that but all speak to the 1967 borders n/t

[malaise]

17. Holy Shit Pat Buchanan attacked the RETHUGS on this

and said Obama was correct 1967 borders are the start for discussions. He also attacked Bibi for attempting to speak to lecture Obama.

ReTHUGS are being hysterical.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

3. But Bush said it much more -

elequilety - elagantly - aleganty - aleganttaly (Never Mind)!!

14. Thanks n/t

[TBF]

9. lol - except for the part about Obama quoting Bush -

it's funny of course when you think about the repubs' heads exploding. But it's really not so funny when you think about how often Obama has just extended Bush policies.

[malaise]

11. Well Bush copied Clinton - they all begin with the

1967 borders.

Poor Romney - it appears he doesn't read past speeches - or watch them

[malaise]

16. Olmert also said the same thing

Cenk covering this - Romney will pay for this stupidity

[treestar]

19. Why should they be different on this particular issue?

[TBF]

20. good point. nt

[razorman]

10. I really doubt that President Obama was playing "gotcha" with the Republicans.

I expect he lifted the quote from Pres. Bush because he agrees with it. The fact that the Pubbies jumped after it without researching it first was simply good luck for us.

[malaise]

12. Not hard to play gotcha with them - they never read

For the record Bush pretty much copied Clinton and maybe everyone should refresh themselves with Carter

15. Cenk discussing this now

Bush first said the same thing in 2005
