President Obama Sat Down with Fox News for Special About Bush Sr.: One of the Most…

Fox News is airing a special tomorrow night on President George H.W. Bush, and they managed to get President Obama to sit down with them for the special.

---

In excerpts released by Fox, Obama calls Bush “thoughtful” and “restrained” and says he’s “one of the more underrated presidents that we’ve ever had certainly in modern times.”

Dick Cheney and Bush VP Dan Quayle were also interviewed for the special, anchored by Brit Hume. It airs tomorrow night at 10 pm EST on Fox News.

There. Fixed it.

Bush Sr. is one of the chief architects of the deep state and a lynchpin of the Bush Family Evil Empire.

I can't believe he's getting eulogized while he's still alive.

3. Outrage over a single quote from Obama with zero context is epidemic on the Internet, am I right?

"In excerpts released by Fox" is like saying "excerpts released by a GOP Select Committee", or "in excerpts released by Goebbels", but the folks @Fox know their target audience, even though they are a steadily shrinking bunch.

Thanks be to the shrinking voter turnout, or all the propaganda would be useless...32% in Kentucky is an anti-democracy advocate's dream!

Im not dissing Obama.

I am saying Bush is a criminal who doesn't deserve a single accolade.

Is that clearer?

Or show one later in its entirety. They couldn't cut and splice and slant to their liking.
