Bush, Clinton and Schieffer

Who knew that former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were fast friends? Well, they did, and they outed themselves on Sunday’s “Face the Nation,” discussing their “very honest, good friendship,” as Clinton put it, and telling host Bob Schieffer about their daunting task of leading a major fundraising effort for Haiti on behalf of President Obama.  —KA

Sometimes a post is so good it and so on point it
need to be reposted, with that said I would like to
say thank you to Commune115 for posting this

“Clinton is bad enough, but selecting George W.
Bush, who’s regime overthrew Haiti’s elected
government in 2004 and installed a death squad
regime, to head an “aid effort” is one of the most
disgusting, ignorant, cynical things Obama could do.

How heartwarming to see these mass murderers put their humanitarianism on display for all to admire.

Can we see a video of Kim Jong-il handing out birthday presents to the children of the dissidents he’s murdered?

Of course they are “fast friends”. Clinton earned his “bones” baby-sitting Poppy’s Mena operation.

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised, reagan, bush clinton, bush, obama, bush. Until we look behind the bushes to see whats hidding, the sick cycle will continue.

I can’t add anything more than Commune115, samosamo, lichen,
and PatrickHenry already clearly stated, except that the clinton/bush selection is another indication of how Obama sees the world.  He just doesn’t get it.

Maybe Clinton and Bush can send the Haitians a few of the real gold bars they substituted with tungsten cored fakes.

Bush and Clinton are united in their corporatism and their criminal actions towards Haiti sovereignty while in office, as well as in the murder of millions of Iraqi’s.  The question is not why they shouldn’t be friends; it is why they shouldn’t be cellmates.

No way I can watch this because it is all too obvious there is
very much to ‘relate’ that these 2 are related just as poppy and
rear-end ronnie are ‘related’, hell, they all 4 are related and not
hardly 1 year into his presidency, o should be sitting with those
traitors which would kind of apply to chris hedges’ article of
today about mlk and which piling them all on to w’s other
criminal brothers it IS a fit setting…for a major war crimes trial
and prosecution of treason for all of them; and back to hedges’
post, war crimes and treason knows no boundaries.
