WAXMAN: "It is nothing but a smear-This is beneath the presidency and even beneath George Bush."
Edited on Sat May-17-08 01:07 PM by kpete
Waxman: I thought that was shameful for him to make such a statement on the
occasion of Israel's 60th anniversary and to try to politicize that
event by making that kind of a statement. When he was finished, as I
understood, his campaign people there said this was a shot at Barack
Obama and then the White House people here in Washington realized how
offensive it was and they tried to pull it back. But that's the way
they often will smear. They will say things and then say, no, they
didn't mean it. It is nothing but a smear. And it's so offensive when
we've had seven failed years of foreign policy by the Bush
Administration that has destabilized the Middle East, made Israel more
insecure.


Every time I travel to the Middle East, and I'm going there
again tonight, I talk to leaders among Palestinians in the Arab world
who say with regret that it was Bush who pushed for an election that
brought Hamas,
the leading terrorist group in that area, to power. And
I just think for him to make this kind of smear – all my life I've
heard these kinds of smears -- the Democrats are Communists, the
Democrats are weak, the Democrats are for treason. This is not a civil
debate. This is beneath the presidency and even beneath George Bush.

4. I agree.. and sadly, I would add that it appears that nothing is too degrading, too slimy
too disgusting ..NOTHING is beneath the reptile W or his reptilian cabal. He has shamed and degraded the once honorable office of President of the United States and he has shamed this Nation..

January 2009 cannot come too soon.

INVESTIGATE IMPEACH INDICT INCARCERATE :patriot:

7. It's Operation Chaos - Bush has been engaged in it since he took office
Fomenting destabilizing chaos in the Middle East. Attempts to destabilize the electoral process at home. Rush Limbaugh isn't the one who came up with this.
