Obama has time to gain more experience before taking over the country. Most people are tired of a republican run nation – putting a different republican in the White House won't be enough change. It will take an enormous amount of experience and a great team to lead the change we need now! Hillary has both!

Hillary Clinton will be the next president. It's time we put a Democrat back in the White House and who better than Fmr. President Clinton's wife.

a lot of you people are stuck in polor politics. bush wants hillary to win because she will conitinue their agenda. got nothing to do with rep/dem camps..republican and democrat label names for those that can't think for themselves -wake the hell up..

In September I submitted the post of:

So the president doesn't support Barrage Oboring?
I'm not suprised, this is probably Oboring's best bet yet! That is if he doesn't put the voters to sleep in the voting boths.
The only thing that REALLY separates Barrage Oboring from the other candidates IS the color of his skin.

And posted with the name of Lonnee. This is not my name and Lonnee is a very empassioned follower of Obama and does not share the views posted with her name.
To this, I publicly apologize for using her name in a slanderous and ingeniousness way.
Sorry Sis I love you and it was just a joke!

How would Bush know, unless he plans to pull off yet another voting shenanigan in Florida, for a third time, to ensure that Hillary gets that state's nominating votes, thereby helping her toward getting the overall Dem vote?

Bush is the one who stated Obama is 'intellectually lazy', not any white house spokesperson. He doesn't even have the intellectual guts to say it was his own comment. Obama needs to sue Bush for slander, this is outrageous, defaming his character. It is also a racist statement used by the slavemasters against the black slaves - lazy. This whole thing also smells of Carl Roveism. And so it looks like Carl Rove will be strong behind the scenes for the republicans even though he is 'invisible'. Remember, it was Rove who orchestrated Bush's entire campaign strategy straight through the end of 2000 election, by telling him to thump the Bible in front of all the Evangelical Christians, and that would get him into the white house, and as we all know - the rest is - history!

Never trust a Republican to handicap a Democratic race, and never trust a Democrat to handicap a Republican race.

Anyone who votes for Hillary is uneducated, blinded, and falling right into the trap the republicans are setting up for you.

Io not even going to begin with how ppor of a candidate Hillary is on her own merits which should make anyone who has had there eyes and ears open in the last 20 years vote for ANYONE other than Hillary Clinton. Besides all of that, LOOK AROUND THE MEDIA!!!! How much is everyone Democrats and Republicans trying to push and assume Hillary as the nomination. It is because the Clintons have bought out the left media, and Republicans know that they can crush her in the presidential race. Anyone can see that, cant they. Think about how much ammunition the right would have on her, she talks out of both sides of her mouth on nearly every issue...she will have to defend Bill's 8 years which have gotten us to 9/11 in the first place. Republicans want to keep the keys to the White House they want a candidate they can beat. How can any reasonable person vote for Hillary anyways, she is a joke. She is EVERYTHING that is wrong with America...I just pray that you idiots figure that out...OBAMA 08!

am an independent. If Hillary wins the primary, I will vote for the Republican.

There's intellectual laziness at its best! Not surprising the the current president recognizes the intellectual laziness – he likes it so much – he bought the country ... I mean company

Thanks Sherry for stating what the real problem is. There are far worse threats to American people. From what I see on these blogs, most American people don't do their research. You would think that with all the available information resources they would know better. Reminds me of under-informed people in third world countries only that those people have no source of information. Please people open up your minds it doesn't hurt to think

Remind me why we care what this selfish egomaniac thinks about anything. He is better than most at making money. Good for him. He has all the divorce lawyers he can afford. But aside from being a successful, albeit morally challenged, speculator, Donald Trump has done nothing to make the world take his opinions seriously. If he is talking about how to make money in real estate, it might be worth listening. If he is talking about anything else, it probably means he is lonely (new wifey must be asking for pro rata compensation for getting naked) or he has some real estate venture to pimp. Either way, SHUT UP YOU WALKING COMB-OVER!

George Bush, as Donald Trump just said, the best you can help your republican party in the next election, is to stay away and hide in the corner. Have you not noticed that nearly all republican candidates have put a distance between you and them, and try not to mention your name in their speeches?

Your thought that a republican nomine will win in the next election is wrong, because you have put the republican party and its presidential candidates into shame. As Alan Greenspan said, you are not fiscally irresponsible in your administration and is NOT one of the smart presidents in the many presidents he had served as the federal reserve chairman. The polls show that most american voters will vote for a democratic party nominee as president next time.

As always, Bush is half right ... Hillary will get the nomination ... and she will be our next President ... no doubt about it ... there is not one GOP candidate that can beat her.

The most corrupt, myopic, reactionary, idiotic White House is trying to challenge Obama's intellect? That is hilarious! Thanks Karl Rove for that fantastic commentary!

Republicans are funny! Do you all not know that Hillary's crew as we speak are matching up a blitz of ads that link George Bush to the GOP candidates.....

GEORGE BUSH

The man whom only 28% of the country approves of.

the GOP are running like Hell from him but it will be pretty damn hard come election season.

Like it or not, The republicans will NOT hold on to the white house in 2008. As painful as that is for you guys...deal with it. But dont blame Sen. Clinton....blame George Bush!

Bush predicts Clinton will win Dem nomination:

SCRITCH?????? SCRATCH?????????

I'm trying to discern why there are any comments on this blog site?????
Given the title is BUSH PREDICTS~!

WHEN did Bush ever predict anything that had any truth or substance?
My advice would be "Stay The Course"
"Inform Yourselves" – or "Call a Psychic" ...

Either of the last two choices would have more ceedence than a BUSH PREDICTION!
"We are making Progress in Iraq"

I Vote to VETO THAT!
Signed: George Vetoing Bush.

How very Bill Maheresque of democrats to automatically gainsay anything the President says. As a Republican and avowed disliker of Hillary, I can say that when you watch her in a debate with Barack, you are watching a well-coached, sharp candidate vs Barack, who usually changes the question because he hasn't studied for it. Barack is obviously ill-prepared for this. Hillary did her homework. Barack sounds like Adam Sandler at the end of Billy Madison.

Bush has been involved in politics his whole life which explains why he is such a good liar.

I request all democrate, independent and republicans (who have moral in side out) to rally behind Hillary Clinton and give an opportunity to be the president and this country and do good things.
She has right experience, intelligent and zeal to take this country in right direction than any candidates running for president in 2008.

Wow, thanks Sherry. Forget Osama, the biggest threat to my security turns out to be a peanut. I never knew that.

Once again we see the republicans trying to manipulate the democratic nomination. John Edwards leads big in the Iowa and New Hampshire caucus' and independant media show big leads for Edwards. The corporate media blackout of John Edwards is a disgrace to democracy and a direct insult to the American people. If only we had addressed the notion of a vote paper trail maybe Americans could vote with confidence.

After observation and analysis, I can find very little in these correspondences that "agrees with reason" and certainly nothing that could be considered of benefit of others. Instead I read vitriolic outbursts of abuse, the denial of historical fact, endlessly repeated lies and dogma, obviously in the expectation that if something is repeated often enough, it becomes an accepted truth. And excruciatingly bad English, implying, let's face it, a total absence of any formal education. So, on the evidence of these rants, it is hard to escape the conclusion that yes, the majority is incapable of judging the facts as they present themselves today. God Bless America.

As a Republican....I need Bush to support a Hillary presidential bid....then I want to hear the excuses from the "HILLRAISERS" as to why Bush's endorsement is a good thing....maybe he could say "we've had both Democrats and Republicans in office – why not try a socialist"

How could anyone in the Bush administration say that Obama has "intellectual laziness?"

That's the most hypocritical, and false, statement I've heard in a long time.

Meanwhile, a senior White House official tells Sammon that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's chief competitor for the nomination, is "capable" of winning the White House, but has shown an "intellectual laziness."

Considering the mental midget occupying the White House at this time, I'd say this is a true example of hubris.

I don't see how it would be possible for a Democrat not to win. I mean a good percentage of the voters won't understand what they are voting for. They blame the White House cover boy Bush and will thus blame the Reps and vot a Dem in.

hahaha…

As a black man, I know the whites in this country will NEVER vote a black guy for president.

Here is why they are afraid of Hillary:
Single Mothers,
Mothers (without Health Care)
Fathers with Daugthers only (They want to give their child a chance too to one day rule the country)

There are not enough GOP votes in the country to beat this voting block and GOP knows that. That why they don't want to face Hillary.

George Bush is simply using scare tactics AGAIN, just like he did to get elected in 2004 when he convinced the American public that the global war on terrorism was the biggest challenge facing this country. Nothing could be further from the truth.

"If western governments were really trying to win the "war on terror" they wouldn't give terrorists so much credit".-Paul Joseph Watson

This statement is 100% correct. Did you know that since 1960 the number of Americans killed by terrorists is actually LOWER than the number of Americans killed by an allergic reaction to peanuts? It's true. It's also lower than the number of Americans killed by hitting a deer while driving or being hit by lightning. Then WHY is it that we are being force fed into believing that terrorism is the biggest threat to American society? Dating back to the beginning of this country how many Americans have died as a direct result of terrorism? Seven thousand? Ten Thousand?... Guess how many Americans died JUST LAST YEAR as a result of cigarette smoke? 435,000!!!! Add in alcohol attributed deaths, that's another 85,000 dead. That's 520,000 Americans dead EACH YEAR from Cigarettes and alcohol alone!!!!!! And yet you still believe that terrorism is our greatest problem? The definition of terrorism is: The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. With their repeated attempts to scare Americans into voting Republican under the flimsy guise that they will be "safer" under Republican rule, it's quite clear to me that Republican politicians are the biggest terrorists on the planet!
Instead of voting like partisan sheep, do your research. Find out which candidate is best suited to tackle the REAL issues that effect YOUR life- like the Economy, Education, Illegal Immigrants, Healthcare, Social Security or the fact that China & Russia now own 63% of our national debt. Don't let propaganda and rhetoric cast your vote for you!! Educate yourself and the truth WILL set us ALL free.

Scott – Madison,

Critical thinking is the ability to dispell propaganda, find facts, and come to an intelligent conclusion.

You suggest Bush gets an "F" (and your evidence is because the majority of the country has a negative opinion). Wow – is all your critical thinking a result of polling?

You then qualify your opinion of Bush as a pathological liar, ego-centric maniac with messianic tendencies.

Can you provide the FACTS to support your statement? Again – not rumor, speculation, or theory... but FACTS.

Like it or not – the FACTS are:

1. President Bush won the majority of electorial votes in 2000 and legally won the election.

2. In 2001, the overwhelming evidence of intelligence (world wide: France, Germany, Russia, US – including President Clinton) was that Saddam had WMDs, wasn't afraid to use them, and posed a larger threat in light of terrorists wanting to attack any and all nations. Call is a collosal failure on the part of the intelligence community – but saying "Bush lied" is ignoring the facts. Was intent on removing Saddam? Yes – and used the intelligence information to support his case.

3. Dick Cheney divested himself of all Halliburton stock prior to taking office. Prior to President Bush awarding any contracts to Halliburton, it was BILL CLINTON that awarded the LOGCAP contract to Halliburton even though there was a lower bidder.

Those are the traditionally spouted rumors. But I gladly await your evidence to support your statement.

hahaha...

As a black man, I know where you GOP Single Mothers,
Mothers (without Health Care)
Fathers with Daugthers only (They want to give their child a chance too to one day rule the country)

There are not enough GOP votes in the country to beat that and the GOP knows that. That why they don't want to face Hillary.

Bush is FINALLY RIGHT about ONE thing!! HILLARY WILL WIN THE NOMINATION!! But he is WRONG in thinking the Republicans will keep the White House in 2008! Hillary will win all the way!! It takes a Clinton to Clean up a BUSH'S MESS!!! It did the last time and more than ever, it will happen this time!!!

*LOL* I love how a "senior White House official" accuses Barack Obama of showing "intellectual laziness." Best joke I've heard so far today!

Of course, anyone working in the Bush White House for 7 long years would forget the true meaning of "intellectual laziness." Stand in a pile of garbage for long enough, eventually you won't smell it anymore.

Whoever becomes the next president, I don't envy him or her at all. They've got a LOT of trash to clean up inside that house!

Unfortunately, I think the idiot Bush is right for a chance, if Hillary wins the nomination, the Rethugs will win, be smart Democrats. Vote Obama!

James, Phoenix and Stephen, Naples:

Critical thinking is a set of cognitive skills, intellectual standards and traits of mind. Critical thinking is the ability and intellectual commitment to use those structures to improve thinking and guide behavior.

So, according to a majority of this country – at least that's the viscious rumor in town – Georgie-Boy gets a big, fat F. That is of course, unless the majority (including a respectable share of his own party)is incapable of
judging the facts as they present themselves today.

Here's a little something to think about: Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Again, Georgie-Boy gets an F. Did I say, idiot? I meant pathological liar and ego-centric/-maniac with messianic tendencies.

Hypnotizing the Voter Crawfish: Partners Bush and Hillary

H's camp decided the GOP strategy of crowning H as the inevitable is to their advantage and are using it, "to hypnotize the crawfish," in this case Dem voters. That backfires because Dems like to make their own decisions; only Reps like to be spun, taking away the decision. It's how they perceive "real" leaders; “they tell us what to do.”

Both Obama and Hillary appeal to young voters who have a bad habit of not turning out to vote. Hillary is despised by women in her age group and comparable education level, with a large enough population to cancel out the young vote, no matter how many actually do vote.

Edwards appeals to men and women, as well as Independents who are determined to vote in the Dem primaries. Edwards will end up the nominee, much to the shock of the media who are the idiot “know it alls.”

James from Phoenix: most people think his dad's money bought him the degree, and he left the Air Guard early because he was scared of jets. Dad's CIA friends and Karl Rove's "Lies for Jesus Sake" got him the rest, with the help of Diebold voting machines.
See, the things you admire about him are the things that trouble us. I'm not trying to be nasty here, just stating facts.

It's un-American to accuse each other of gloating over war deaths, or 9-11 deaths. Anyone who believes that stuff is a little child – can you ALL spell naive? Both parties have extremists, but they don't represent the mainstream.

I'd like to hope that we can all one day stop throwing filth at each other and remember what this country is about. You know, our core values: hanging Osama bin Laden as the SuperBowl Halftime Show!

Congratulations, Scott (Madison). You managed to spell naive correctly. Maybe you are becoming a Republican!

Waht??????? Obama is intellectually weak?

Hey Bush, u moron watch this video of obama.. he is the one who exactly predicted the outcome of the war in 2002 and warned u not to go for the war.

This stupid president can't understand that even in 2007.. now who is intellectually incompetent?

Donald Trump said it right.. go hide in a corner shameless fellow

To Carrol Ann of Maine who wrote:
"I will work to see to it that a Republican wins and therefore don't accept the premise that a Democrat will win. I truly think the Republicans will hold the White House."

PAPERLESS VOTING MACHINES?

You and all who contibute to a republican will have to answer why your hands are full of the blood of our men and women in our Armed Forces, think of that and have a good night sleep if you can.

CNN, please do not censure!

"I will work to see to it that a Republican wins"

Yeah right, using rigged voting machines, caging, voter intimidation ... by any means necessary, that's Bush's motto.

Eunice, good heavens, you sound like you get all your facts from Herb down at the bait store. You can't blame Clinton for 9-11, even though you might have heard Herb say it was his fault; the terrorists hit us because we'd just failed to elect a president and had to appoint one. Either Gore or Bush would have been our shakiest president ever – they never had a better chance. We haven't been hit again because the president did what any president would have done! Maybe where you're from torture is routine; if America has ever stooped that low before we hid it in shame.

But at least you've come out and said what's on your mind: you hate and fear all Muslims, and to you every Muslim is a 9-11 terrorist, and that's why you sound like all your information comes from Herb or Mert or your hairdresser Betty.

Democrat or Republican, I don't care. I will vote for the person that's going to do the best for the country, and that's how everyone should vote. This silly Democrat/Republican schism is killing the country, no wonder Washington was against political parties.

Ironic that all these people villifying the "intellectually lazy" quote cannot even construct an argument without resorting to personal abuse.

Scott – Madison, Wi

You wrote, "Du yu reely beleave that inteligents had anyting to do with all that? You really are naive!
Try some critical thinking, dude."

Scott – let's "du" some critical thinking. You (basically) think Bush is an idiot and I'm being naive. I guess ANY idiot could:

1. Graduate from Yale
2. Fighter Pilot with Air National Guard
3. MBA from Harvard
4. Defeated popular Texas Governor Ann Richards in 1994 to become Texas Govenor
5. Re-elected Governor in 1998
6. Defeated Al Gore in 2000 Presidential Election
7. Re-elected President in 2004

ANY idiot could do that! (eyes rolling)

Scott, the naive one on this blog is the person who continues the "Bush stole the election" mantra.... but don't let facts get in your way.

The Fundamental Religious Right (Bush included), Rush, Hannity, etc media spokespeople are all trying to rally a focused attack on Hillary as part of their attempt to maintain their End-of-Time agenda. Scary group, all of 'em.

He hopes Clinton wins the Dem Nom so PNAC's bases will be covered either way.
I will not vote for a Republican, "Democrat" or otherwise, if Kucinich doesn't get it I'll write his name in.

I wonder how Bush will "help" the Rethugs win.

Time for recess

Georgie Porgie
Pudding and pie
Kissed the Hill and made her cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away

Forget Clinton...The only honest, intelligent person fit to be the president in '08 is Ron Paul!

Totally agree with Leigh S. Cambridge, MA

Someone in this administration is accusing a candidate of "intellectual laziness"?

Hello, Pot? This is Kettle. You're black.

Boy, so much anger from the left-but never directed at the enemies, like the Iranian Prez or Bin Laden.
Bush has his shortcomings, but he's a winner, has won two elections even though the media says he's a loser, etc. Grow up. And Hillary will win the nod because she has NO opponents worth their salt. Obama IS a novice and frankly, a lightweigh–and Edwards is the biggest hypocrite in DC. Of course, America will comes to its senses, know that our enemies quote directly from the American Left (Democrat) handbook, ala Ahmadenijad today, and vote for a moderate GOPer, keeping America and all the rich libs safe for another 4-8 years.

Here comes GOP fearmongering tactics again for 2008. It was WMDs, Bin Laden, Al Queda in Iraq before and now Hillary! The republicans anyway are not going to vote for Hillary as they have some kind of vendatta against Clintons. The thinking of these voters are so backwards that they don't have any mind of their own, and they just blindly follow their leader who is a dismal failure and got this country into a big hole. But, patriotic americans who can think and have their own mind will vote democrats and bring peace and prosparity at home and earn respect from outsde US and get any of the democrats the white house.

James in Phoenix. Du yu reely beleave that inteligents had anyting to do with all that? You really are naive!
Try some critical thinking, dude.

How's about a little lying, buying, cheating and stealing?

May God, Budha, Ala, and whoever else help us all if the republicans win anything ever again. They (the Republicans) want to tell you how to act, think, vote, and what church to go to. They are liars, cheats, and morally repugnant. I would sooner vote for a new form of government before I would support any of them ever again.

Given the undeniable intellectual laziness of George W. Bush, the only reason I can see that a "Senior White House Official" would call Barack Obama "intellectually lazy" is to plant a seed with racist Americans (of which their are unfortunately many) who still might believe the old racist stereotype that black people are lazy. Putting "intellectually" in front of it is just their way of trying to distance themselves from that old stereotype. Remember, this is the political machine of Karl Rove. I am sure they are doing whatever they can as early as they can to manipulate the American public and begin tarnishing the characters and reputations of any Democrats who are real threats to Republicans holding on to the White House. They are despicable.

Sadly, the incompetent Bush has opened the door to the socialist Democrats in 2008 and beyond. In a generation the USA has moved from a democratic republic to a quasi-monarchy, with two families likely to control the White House for 28 years in a row and minimal turnover in Congress and most state legislatures. Some democracy.

The Republicans would like Hillary gets the nomination. If Obama gets it, that means the Republicians will have to pretend to care about miniorities and poor people.

Bush appears to be ignoring the fact that the GOP candidates want him to stay away, not "campaign vigorously for the Republican candidate."

What exactly does the senior white house correspondent mean by " Intellectual Laziness"? This is the most ridiculous comment i have ever hard from this white house.

This is a racial comment of the highest order. I am sure Barack is smarter than both HRC and George Bush himself.

I agree with President Bush; Hillary will probably be the Democratic candidate for the 2008 presidential election.

Wouldn't it be nice if political disent could be voiced without spewing immature personal attacks?

First I would like to acknowledge that maybe as a Canadian my point of view may be mis-guided or that I may not be able to fully understand because I am not living in America;

However from reading daily on CNN.com and being entirley facinated by American politics here is my take.

It will be better for the nation when Bush is out of office.
He has done nothing but push america further into debt,decimate an entire generation of young men (and women) and make a great nation a laughing stock on the world stage.

No matter who wins the nominations and then the presidency will do a far better job then Bush has ever done.

I only hope that once Bush is out of office that america can re-focus its energys and its funds on things like poverty; education, heathcare and making the world see America can mean hope and freedom once again.

Intellectually lazy? Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard. I don't take advice from the village idiots....

Hillary may get the nomination, but she has way too many negatives to get elected. She is really energizing the Republican base.

Keep in mind that President Cheyney's and Vice President Bush's comments were not "off the cuff" – they were calculated to help HRC win the nomination because of her "negative" ratings.

Good news is they are not as "negative" as Vice President Bush's.

"Mission Accomplished"

I'm not worried about George Bush and his predictions. Though this one does have the familiarity of a Karl Rove tactic to promote Hillary's campaign so that the republican candidate will indeed inhabit the White House.

I prefer this quote:

"In the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it" Barack Obama

Don't underestimate our love for our country George Bush.

And BTW- I, too, am a democrat who will never, ever cast a vote for Hillary Clinton.

Bush, Ruddy, Romney, MCain and the white house are endorsing Hillary.
They are falling over themselves to predict a Clinton ticket. Thats the only opponent they are fully ready for and i believe they cat wait.
Aside form their secret weapons against Hillary they are fully aware her ticket will be push the independents to vote republican.

Vote Obama or Edwards and you throw them into a spin.

Ed. Ft Lauderdale
You hit the nail right on the head!
I agree 100%

Jen, Gainesville, FL
And it is your mindset and voting practices that gave us Bush and the horror that entailed.

Your statement can only be likened to saying if Johnny can't win I'm taking my marbles and going home. Except this is not petty marble game. This is an election that can have devastating effects on the world!

Another very clear sign that HRC is already bought and payed for by lobbyists. Georgie should know since K street has a directly routed traffic through his colon.

I personally have more of a desire for change rather than going from Repug to Republican-lite. Enough of the dynasty volleying. Our country deserves much better.

Sorry Georgie, you've cornered the market on intellectual laziness for eternity. Go back to the village (i.e.,your ranch) where idiots can play cowboys and indians without really hurting live people.

"I always have to laugh at your Bush-haters. You assault his intelligence at every opportunity… yet HE has won the Presidency twice".
Well, I guess, this was an assault on US voters intelligence, at least in 2004

You people get what you deserve....

Bush – Clinton – Bush – (and now Bush is saying Clinton will win)

Anyone else see a pattern?

Who cares what this incompetent boob thinks. All he's trying to do is get the 20% of mentally challenged people that still support him to turn out and vote. Good luck with that by the way.

Ed, Fort Lauderdale, Florida,

Check your facts very well. America is safer today than before Bush came into Office. Bill Clinton used diplomacy after 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, same thing after USS Cole bombing, and he also used diplomacy after 3 U.S Embassy bombing and right after he left office, 9/11 took place. 9/11 was not planned after he left office. Al Quaeda must have planned the attack for years. Bush has been in office for 7yrs now and none of that has happened. What does that tell you. I am from Africa and we have muslims in our country and blood shed is their nature. They don't care about human lives. America is too naive for this people. They use your own democracy to destroy America. They don't understand democracy. How many Islamic nations are democratic? Give me a break. American like you make this country vulnerable and insecure because the enemy plays on your softness. They know exactly what button to push. They know Americans don't like war therefore, they will like to inflict more injury on America.

To Wynter, Loudon, NH,

You sound very much like those muslims that show a lot of sympathy to the terrorists. 80% of Americans including Republicans and Democrats supported the war. The entire world thought Saddam had weapons. However, I still believe that it was a good thing we went in to find out he did not have anything. That fear has been cleard. Everything you mentioned does not make any sence. In every war you have torture captives to get information. Every nation in a war uses torture to get information from POWs. America is not the only nation. About the situation in Guantanamo Bay, who ever told you that those people deserved to be treated with kisses. They are terrorists and they are responsible for all the lives lost on 9/11.

You sound like you want them to have all these rights. Whatever treatment they are getting is still 100% better that than the beheading their counterparts are getting from those terrorists. U.S. is too humane. That is why you have the nerve to say all that. The muslims terrorists don't even keep their POWs alive. They butcher them like animals. Which is better? Keep them in Guantanamo Bay, or cut their heads off?

All I can say is"intellectual laziness!" This is a good way to describe the legacy of George W. Bush, including the people whom voted for him.He never had a business that he did not screw up.Now the United States can be added to his resume.

bush buying clinton to vote for more money for Iraq. I wonder what could be wrong if he says Obama will win democtratic nomination....we know already what could be coming out of bush mouth and he better keep it shut, for now

"Intellectual laziness" is simply another in the endless supply of coded racial slurs. It is a sham, a shame and proves once again that race and class are still the 1-2 punch in america. Right on the heels of Jena 6. Beautiful and sensitive timing. I imagine that by using the same formula used to identify Senator Obama as "lazy", we would have to conclude the President is intectually challenged and void.

Clinton/Obama 2008!

I mean lets face it, Republicans would love to see the White House go to a Democrat...that way they can take turns blaming the coming recession (and failures in and because of Iraq) on the Democratic president. Sadly, they'll probably succeed.

To Brenda from Annapolis – "Voting against an individual is not on immature, but selfish." What is it you are trying to say here? I can only assume from your incoherency that you are a Democrat.

Whatever White House offical stated that Obama has shown "Intellectual laziness" is actually quite stupid for making a comment like that. Gee...Harvard Law, President of the Harvard Law Review, State Senator, Illinois Senator and Presidential contender running # 2. Could we please remove the idiot who made this comment. Oh I forgot. We can't. He is a member of Emperor's Cult.

Contrary to popular belief, Republicans and Dems don't have to work against each other all the time! Let's throw out the labels and looks straight through to the humanity for once.

Bush is such a bad role model for this country, making it more divided than ever and publicly endorsing this divide. It doesn't have to be this way!

Let's change things and stop caring about labels and actually find a good human being with a good conscience.

Of course Bush wants Hillary to win. The Republican Party stands no chance against Obama.

Stop this nonsense about America not being ready for a woman President... what will it take for us to be ready? Another war? And to all those independents who might go Republican.... do you want more years of the same nonsense?

It's so sickening how partisan he is. Such a divider for this country. I'm so tired of parties and labels and sticking to a certain party only out of habit rather than actually finding a good candidate.

It's time to throw away all these labels and just look straight through to the humanity. He's such a bad role model for our country.

Thank God for Obama.

James, Phoenix AZ is absolutely right, he won the presidency twice, that means that the idiots are us for electing him.. “Twice”..!!

Right on James

so, Mr. Bush and his croonies got 2 things FINALLY right!!!

1: Hillary will win the nomination
2. Oboring have "intellectual laziness"…..

Congrat's!!!!

HAHAHAHA, so true!!!

I dont think the American people are satisfised with the either paty. As far as I know, this election is up in the air. I have yet to have taken interest in any candidate in fear of being led in lies like this current administration. President Bush's opinion really doesnt matter inthe case of the 2008 election, all I know that he will be gone soon

Hey Eunice, Maryland,
Did you say you think Neil Kelly from Virginia is smart. Wow, you must be smoking something worse that pot. What school of thought do you come from? If you think Neil is smart, I would hate to see whom you would call dumb and stupid. I have seen your posts almost everyday going hand and limb for Hillary and you have nothing to back your support on other than she helped the black community and that you are a woman. Hillary is no Bill but it will take hammering for someone with the same intelectual capacity as Neil Kelly, Virginia to grasp that. So an Accountants wife who stays at home qualifies her to be experienced in Accounting too? Geez. By the way, you may wonna inform Neil Kelly that the USSR broke up ages ago and Muslim is a religion not a language.

I will also go GOP if Hilary gets the nod. I have read all the issues and I don't want this country to sink further into family style politics. Republicans won't vote for her and neither will alot of democrats. It is equally selfish to expect that people vote for parties rather than who they think should be the next president and if she is the DNC nomination I am sure I can find a better alternative on the GOP side or just write in. We should be aware that there are not any
anti-(insert candidates name) sites for anyone but her.

It's so easy for Americans to sit at home and criticize the difficult decisions of the leaders we've elected. I would ask each American that approves or disapproves of the policies of our president one simple question – what have YOU done about YOUR position? Have you joined our Army or Marine Corps to fight or have YOU participated in a protest? Blogging becomes nothing more than gossip if you don't have the guts to come to action. What am I doing, you ask? I'm in Baghdad defending our nation. What about you?

I don't think any White House official should have the audacity of accusing anyone else of intellectual laziness... this current administration are the "poster-children" for that description

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! The same people that donated to the Bush Campaign during 2000 and 2004 are the same people that are donating to the Clinton campaign of 08. The Bushes and Clintons are in cahoots, don't allow this country to become a monarchy run by a bunch of world elites. Go watch world wide web. zeitgeistmovie. company. wake up!!!!

ahhhh...if he backs the republican candidate, isn't that the kiss of death? Didn'the say that the "Repugnicans" would hold onto the house and senate? Didn't he say "Mission Accomplised?" And, didn't he declare Mandeal dead? What a moron!!! If I was a "repugnican," I'd distance myself so far from him!!!!

J,

I'm in College. What's your point? We all support our candidates for various reasons, reasons that mean something to us. Most of us are fed up with GWB as well. Thanks for making the general assumption that Hillary supporters have no college education. I guess the one that's an idiot is you.

"I am an independent. If Hillary wins the primary, I will vote for the Republican"
Posted By Jen, Gainesville, FL :

Jen, I'm a Democrat, but if Obama wins nomination I'll vote for Republican! He's an irresponsible naive person who will be adisater for this country.

J Houston Texas.

Bush went to Yale as part of their legacy program. Anyone can get in with that.

George "Clueless" W. Bush, may, may get one prediction right. It will be his first one in his 8 years as king!

Bush endorses Hillary Clinton...Go figure.

Who cares what Bush says or any of his cronies including Cheney. Most people want their reamining time to speed by. Just looking at the ape is painful, listening is too much to bare. He's been so correct on everything else for the last almost 7 years, I'm sure that his forcast for the 2008 election is right on the mark. Geez, can we get some real news?

Bush is an idiot...

Wait, which one of you went to Yale? Sometimes I wonder how many of the Hillary supporters went to college.

Brenda in Annapolis:

Why do you assume everyone who is a Republican is ignorant and uses poor grammar and spelling? I guess I can assume that all Democrats are full of hate and animosity as shown by the majority of posts on this board? But this ignorant Republican will not do that; I have too many registered Democrats as friends, so I know otherwise. BTW, Brenda, check your own grammar before spewing your hate towards others...

America will have the President they deserve. Go Hillary!

Who is the senior White House official that said Obama has shown an "intellectual laziness"?

WHAT???

Have they looked at the intellectual idiot they're standing beside?

Eunice, Maryland.

Just because someone is decisive doesn't mean his decisions are good. The desicions made by this president have made America a far less safe, tolerant and free place to be. The fight against terror will be long and hard, more so now since GWB has been in office. He is reckless and dagerous.

We need someone serious in that office who realizes that diplomacy is a mature business. Adults talk out problems and children threaten to fight. Force must never be taken off the table, but it shouldn't be the first option we reach for.

To me Eunice, GWB is not a good president. He is aloof and makes our nation look foolish. He has lied in office and has used appointments in his administration as prizes for loyality instead of picking the right person for a job. Not to mention, the Bush administration spends money like no tomorrow.

Am I late to the Bush-Bashing party??

I always have to laugh at your Bush-haters. You assault his intelligence at every opportunity... yet HE has won the Presidency twice.

But hey – that was just "luck". He doesn't know a lick about politics (His father VP, President, He was Governor, President 2-terms, Jeb Governor of Florida)... yeah... what do they know!

He's right about one thing, that Hillary will win the Democratic nomination. He's also wrong about one more thing, to go along with all of his other wrongs. She will win the National election, not any of the republican candidates stand a chance. Shut up Georgie, no one cares much about your two-cents.

Eunice, if someone had dropped an airplane on Rove and Cheney, President Bush's little boy Georgie might have made him proud. Instead we got the Rove-Cheney presidency, proudly supported by true believers like you. Believing that everyone who disagrees with your politics is a dangerous madman is poor mental hygiene verging on outright insanity.

I love you George!
And sadly, I agree that Mr. H.R. Clinton will get the liberal nod.

To EUNICE, MARYLAND...

I have to interject here. So you are saying that George is innocent of the following?

- Lying to America in his State of the Union Address where he said they had proof that Iraq had attempted to buy "Yellow Cake" from Niger?
- Exagerrating the WMD crisis in Iraq as his run up to the war in Iraq.
- Enabling the Abu Gharab prison torture issue through the Torture Memorandum written for him by then White House Atty. Alberto Gonzalez
- Singlehandedly threatening Russia by ignoring the ABM treaty and building his pet Defense Shield project in defiance to our treaty with them.
- Bypassing the Geneva Convention and Habeus Corpus by creating the mess in Guantanamo Bay which is turning into an International Crisis for our place in the World as other countries start to question our intentions.
- The list goes on and on... these are just highlights of the items we "know" about. Once you start delving into the secret plans like the Domestic Eavesdropping policies, this president will go down as the worst president of all time. Makes Nixon look like a paperboy.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Well the candidate I like best is John Edwards. But if Hillary gets the nomination I'll vote for her. Any of of the top tier Democrats are superior to the pathetic political hacks running under the GOP banner.

Bush is living in a dreamland. He also thought the GOP would keep the House and Senate in 06. Maybe Bush should keep his intellectual endeavers to reading
MY PET GOAT

WOW, Now the decider decides again on this one. Looks like American people don't have a say or vote for anything in this country. I might be wrong but Obama have been put on a blackout in the media and clinton has been raised to a new level. She is literary stealing Obama's plans.
Who would tell me we are not in a dictactorship in America. I am not American but My country is far much better than this once great nation. I pity all.

Bush also said he knew he would win both the elections he was in. And we all know they were both 2 of the most questionable elections in American history. I wonder if Bush again "knows something we do not".

I don’t know why is easy for an ATM or credit card machine to print out a receipt, but we can’t get one in a voting booth in 2007. Strange if you ask me.

He said what??

If the Democrats are stupid enough to run someone as divisive as Hillary Clinton, I predict that George Bush will be right for once.

Who was it on these blogs who came up with the absolutely brilliant comment that Democrats have a habit of "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" It's true. If the Democrats can't for once come up with a candidate with the backbone to win (without polarizing the entire country, that is), they should do their constituents a favor, throw in the towel, and let people with new ideas create a REAL opposition party.

To all the knee-jerking Clinton bashers out there, I have just one thing to say: "There you go again!" – Ronald Reagan, presidential debates with Jimmy Carter.

Bush has shown such poor forecasting skills the last 7 years that his predictions hold little value. What it does show is how much the Republicans really want to run against Clinton and fear a campaign against Obama.

Dem’s can try to laugh off the ‘Intellectually lazy’ comment for being ridiculous, which it undoubtedly is, but remember, these are the same people who managed to convince enough people that John Kerry was unpatriotic . This comment was meant to play into white America’s worst fears and stereotypes about African-American’s in general and a black president specifically; that they are lazy. Anyone who has even remotely followed Senator Obama’s career see this statement as complete bunk but all the Republicans need to do is scare enough of the masses to end any chance he has of winning the nomination. I find it very telling that they are so scared of running against Obama that they have started engaging in these sort of attacks now.

I don't know who voted for this lamebrain and who still supports the amoral, I mean Republican, party, but I heard a woman who said she would never vote for Hillary because she could only vote for a man, because they would be the ones with military experience. And what experience did Bush and Cheney have, other than dodging the draft?

And this is a President who is about to veto legislation that would provide health coverage for millions of poor children. And he calls himself a Christian.

People please get this!

The republicans want to run against HRC.

Obama is a natural with mounting grass roots appeal – he is charismatic, articulate, intelligent with mucho crossover appeal – would you want to run against that if you were a republican?

They are locked and loaded for Hillary!
She has strong negatives and is viewed as old hat Washington politics. Obama represents what the electorate hankers for! CHANGE !!!

A new wind is blowing among the people
which is stronger than the media and
rusty old political machines.

Muslim a language? USSR? Education is such a good thing...you should try it some time.

Hey Sean Hagen Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania

Can you find all those countries on a map?

I am from South America and I can tell you Venezuela treats its citizens and neighbors a lot better than Israel treats the Palestinians and its neighbors.

You are just showing us your luck of knowledge. Are you?

Ha! – Reading all the notes of support for a Republican President once again in 2008 has this Canadian shaking his head.

America is drifting so far of course now and will be cleaning up for a generation the costly ideological experiment named Iraq that any idea of another Republican sends shivers up my spine.

I say...America come back in from the cold dark night and vote for experience and pragmatism.Vote for Clinton in 2008.

Hillary's nomination will be the end of terms of office for a lot of Democrat officeholders up for re-election next year. Too many people dislike her, and consequently, voters will more than likely start with the Republican candidate for President and vote that ticket all the way down to the local level. I have been a loyal Democrat all my life, but Hillary is a curse for the Party!

Ed, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I can tell you now. Anyone that think George Bush has not served this country well since after 9/11 is.

First let me stop laughing, remember this guy is an idiot. This is the same person that said that we have
WMD and the war in Iraq was over. And lets not forget his overwhelming approval rating with his own country and the joke he is to the international community. He knows that if Hillary recieves the nomination then the Republicans will have a better chance at the Presidency than the Democrats. To this is say – Obama in 08

INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS???
Are you kidding me? The White House think Obama has shown an intellectual laziness? Wow...this coming from the administration whose memoirs will likely be written in crayon on the back of a Denny's kid's menu.

Hey Eunice, Maryland...

If you think Neil Kelly of Virginia is smart, then I would hate to know who you think is stupid.

I don't think Bush will relinquish power in 2009. I think he will attack Iran mid to late 2008, declare martial law and postpone the election.

The war criminal duo of Bush/Cheney DO NOT care about elections or the Constitution. Elections are there to be rigged or suspended.

Well there goes another foolish attempt to try to "scare" the republican base into picking an electable candidate from the current list of flip flops and mayoral has-beens. The tactic is simple, scare your base into going out and voting against a percieved threat. But so far, no one is biting.

The Christian Coalition is finally realizing that the GOP isn't as moral as they thought. And the fiscally conservative base is finding that the GOP politicians are corrupt as they are morally bankrupt. Independents are likely to make out better this coming election with the Democrats coming in close second. But the GOP has an incredible crisis in their ranks that is making them totally unelectable. Until they clean house and reformulate their platform they will be losing much more than the White House next year. They will firmly lose both the House and the Senate.

Whose fault is it? Bush to a large degree. But the field of GOP political failures is pretty wide so Bush is not alone in bringing down the GOP.

By the way, Neil Kelly Stafford, Virginia...Stop drinking the local moon shine.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Neil – the USSR no longer exists. And you think we should do away with elections? Which White House office do you work for?

We are still awhile away from Super Duper Tuesday, and I am a believer that the candidates who aren't high in the polls now will be and will have the potential to win the nomination.

It scares me that President Bush said basically he will make sure that the Republicans win the White House, this reminds me when he said, in 2000, "I guarantee we will win Florida". I tend to lean towards the Democratic party, however, whichever party wins, I would just like to know that the outcome of the election was fair.

I'd like to vote in someone who isn't a minority, then when and if the Democrats get a good streak of winning elections we can take our chances with a minority.

Democrats cannot afford to lose this election.

He's just using the regular GOP play book of scare tactics. The man has to rally up the base since he personally has done some much damage to the GOP and the republicans are not exited about this election not like the Democrats. It’s like it has Mr. Rove’s finger tips all over it….

Neil Kelly Stafford, Virginia

You just hit the nail on the head. You are very smart. I have said this before that history will prove George Bush to be the greatest President America ever had. People are judging him out of sentiments. But he is so decisive and strong and that is the kind of person America needs in this presenst world of Islamic Fascism. The only language they understand is force. They thrive on blood flow and someone has to stop them. A democrat can not do that. We are in trouble if a democrat wins this election. No body likes war but sometimes, it becomes inevitable. America would have been attacked several times after 9/11 if not for God and then the kind of President we have.

George Bush is absolutely right about the election predictions and people can say all they want.

Intellectual laziness?? That takes some stones...considering intellectual absentness has been the Bush Administration's milieu.

Hey Neil Kelly...

Muslim is a religion and not a language. Anyone who would want to do away with the voting rights given to us by the Constitution deserves to be locked away with George Bush. He can be your commander-in-chief in your own private looney bin.

If most republicans have your intellect, then the dems will have no problem in 2008.

How in the world could someone who works for the present administraction even think of using the words "intellectual laziness"? that in and of itself is a joke.

Suprising that Bush would have the nerve to accuse someone of intellectual laziness.

To N.K. Stafford
What alternate history book have you been reading. FDR and Abe Lincoln did not "do away" with elections. That has never happened and cannot happen in this country. Buy a copy of the constitution and inform yourself a little bit before spouting off. It's better to remain silent and be thought an idiot, then open your mouth and remove all doubt.

If you don't want Hillary to win then stop paying attention to all these useless polls presented by the media. It almost seems like people hear such-and-such candidate is ahead and therefore they must vote for them. Maybe do your own reason and use your own brains for a change...

...so if he previously said he would refrain but is now commenting...I guess that means......he lied...

You people who are commenting on Bush predicting Hillary will win the primary because he wants her to win so the dems get beat again. Come on! He is predicting she will win because she is ahead by double numbers in almost every poll out there. And she was brilliant in the 5 TV interviews yesterday (Sun.) Unless something goes terribly wrong, she has it made in the Primary, and unless someone shows up with more "stuff" in them than has so far in the Repubs., (and I don't mean Thompson or Newt) she has the general made, also. I hope and pray she does, we need her to clean up this mess. Go. Hillary!!

Bush is stating what is already evident fact by polling.

Clinton is currently in a commanding lead within polling.

What else is there really to argue at this point. A whole year has yet to unfold before a general election.

I will vote for Hillary Clinton as our next President.

I wish we could amend the Constitution to allow Bush to be kicked hard in the butt for jacking this country around so bad. Suspend free elections? I thought we already had . . .

Wow virginia has some real winners huh?"talking muslim and saluting the USSR flag" really shows how uneducated you have to be in order to support this moron.No wonder republicans want to abolish education,it's their last hope.

Neil, your tinfoil hat is on sideways. Bush a good president? Ha ha ha laff laff rotfl. This nation will never ecover from the Divider, and your hateful and stupid remarks illustrate exactly how and why Dubya broke our democracy. Speaking Muslim? It's a religion, not a language. Saluting the USSR flag? Kid, the USSR broke up in the Eighties. Does your mom know you're skipping school and using her computer?

I have have supported democrat nominees in the last three elections since turning 18 in 1993. If Hillary gets the nomination, I will vote republican for the first time in my life.

Republicans calling Obama "intellectually lazy" is like Paris Hilton calling Mother Teresa a skank.

Bush and his Administration are an absolute embarassment to this country – the sooner they are out of office the better!

But, I do have to say WAKE UP to my fellow Democrats who are supporting Hillary. There is a reason that the Republicans are pushing so hard to see that she is the nominee – they will beat her. Nothing will promote a record turnout by Republicans like a Clinton nomination. This will trickle down to other offices and the Republicans will likely take over control of both houses and make gains in state offices. I like Hillary but she cannot win.

Obama is the choice here – he will win in a landslide if he gets the nomination.

How would Bush know? Unless he plans on pulling some type of Florida voting shenanigan, for yet a third time, with that state's Democratic Party and, possibly, giving Hilary the votes that may put give her the nomination.

Apparently Pres. Bush believes people still listen to him. NewsFlash: We stopped listening a long time ago.

Bush also said that Africa was a country. Stay out of this Georgie!

Who even cares whatv President Bush has to say about this, or any other issue for that matter? He is an idiot, and I do not understand why he would even be commenting on who he predicts will win the Democratic nomination. Maybe he should focus more on leading this country and less on the Democratic Party.

Bush is a coward and a liar.

I really wish we could amend the constitution to allow Bush to remain in office for another 4 years. He is by far the best President since Ronald Reagan and since we are a nation at war, we need a stong commander-in-chief and military mind like George W. Bush.

Until this war against Islamo-fascism is over, I think we need to have a Republican in power even if that means temporarily doing away with elections until we beat the terrorists. (just like FDR and Abe Lincoln did)

If Democrats come to power, it will only be a matter of time before we will all be speaking Muslim and saluting the USSR flag!

Like he knows anything about politics! When was he last correct about anything?

Bush calling ANYONE over the age of 4 intellectually lazy is totally outrageous. Hillary sounded Presidential on the talk shows yesterday, and that's not just me saying that but even Right Wing idiots like David Brooks. She is unbeatable and deserves to be President based on her inordinate knowledge of policy both domestic and international AND her drive to POSITIVELY govern this (currently) rudderless country. I hope Obama is her VP. The USA needs him in a high position as well.

George W. Bush always did have a keen grasp of the obvious.

This is going to be a case of history repeating itself.

The country elected the first Clinton to clean up the mess made by Bush's daddy and it looks to me like they'll elect another Clinton to try and repair the damage done to this country by the Bush 43.

Personally I don't think she can do it.

I am not certain anyone can.

WOW...them there were fightin' words.

Accusing an elitist liberal of "intellectual laziness" is like telling a conservative card carrying member of the NRA they can't shoot straight.

The GOP probably hopes Billary wins the nomination...she is the only other person besides Bush who can so polarize the nation.

Thank you Mr. President, you have now cost Senator Clinton the nomination she deserves to win. So many people despise you and your administration right now that they will do the opposite of anything you say. But voting for Obama is not in this country's best interest, trust me. Showing the Republican's what you think of the last eight years is electing a Democrat to this country's highest office and that should be Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. She has the experience, she has the diplomacy, she helps everyone regardless of race (check out the difference in her church and Obama's), and she is a woman with drive, courage and conviction to run this country and make it respected once again. John Edwards biggest flaw is his wife. Some things that come from her mouth are over the line and that turned me off from him. But I have the true Audacity to Hope that a woman will lead this country beginning January 2009. Show the world Hillary what a woman with brains can do!!!!

Hillary has virtually no political experience. Being a governor's wife and a president's wife is of course NOT even close to being the same as being a governor or a president. It's wonderful (I type that sarcastically) that she get's so much media attention because she's a woman riding her husband's coattails, but the best qualified ... give me a break. What has she done in her few years in the Senate? Let's talk about that!

Bush is accusing someone else of intellectual laziness?

The Decider has spoken. Now let's impeach him and Cheney before they attack Iran, then make it a TOP national priority to insure that the elections are not rigged a third consecutive time.

Bush was good a predicting those WMDs, Saddam and Al-Qaida working together, and the Republicans keeping Congress in 2006.

We can't take much of what he says at face value

Where is this so-called health insurance for poor children? I make 30,000 a year my health insurance cost is 15% percent of my income.(4,500.00) not to mention the co-pays and out of pocket expenses.

"senior White House official tells Sammon that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's chief competitor for the nomination, is "capable" of winning the White House, but has shown an "intellectual laziness."
================================

Hoo boy, that's really, really, really rich. A White House official, whose figurehead cannot complete a coherent sentence, calls a former law professor intellectually lazy.

You can tell Rupert Murdoch, Karl Rove and the rest of the Republican good old boys really want Hillary to get the nomination. But the problem is, Hillary is Republican-lite, so we'll get more of the same crap for another four years at least.

Don't fall for it kids.

Looks like Bush is wrong as usual!!

Hillary winning would be a Republican dream!

America, read beyond the headlines - don't let the popular press and the President (who mangled our foreign relations) continue to decide for you! Obama is the intelligent and STRONG choice for 2008!

OBAMA 08!!

HA HA HA! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Let's take the fact that Obama is the most intellectually gifted of all the candidates, turn it on its head, and throw out a term like "intellectual laziness" and hope it sticks – maybe if the masses are "intellectually lazy" enough, they will actually take it seriously. It is an insult to all Americans.

Ha Ha!

This is the smae idiot that said we were going to land a man on mars by 2010 and said that Sadam had WMD and was allied with Bin Laden. Bush probably couldn't predict the sunrise. I don't know who will win but they have to be better than Bush.

Next thing you know, Bush will start campaigning for clinton because he know's the republicans can beat her in the general. He's right. She's not electable.

"The Evangelical President"?!? Please...

"said his party will ultimately win"... I understand the President is Republican. But should he at least act above Partisan politics?

He's really scared of Hillary. Trying some reverse-psychology to scare the Dems...

http://www.political-buzz.com/

I think it's pretty clear that Bush's glib endorsement of Clinton as the Democratic nominee means the Republican's are scared to death of a national campaign against Obama. Clinton represents the status quo, and she's a politician first, a human second, which they can relate to. Obama is an unknown entity to them, capable of going after character flaws and politics alike. If Bush endorses Clinton, give me Obama!

So many HillBill lovers dont understand that Republican Voters and Independent voters will do anything to see HillBill lose. And if she's nominated it will be a bad move for the democratic party no matter whos her VP. No one will vote for her, Hell I wont vote for her if she wins and I vote democrate all the way! lol But the Repub's want Hill to win because they know that every registered Republican will vote against Hillary. Now Obama on the other hand has a very serious appeal for Republican and Independant voters. Thats something the other candidated dont have.

Jen, Gainesville, FL

You are not an independent. You are a Republican. Stop lying.

And you claim to live in FL. Clinton will win and Bush knows his legacy is better in her hands. True Republicans don't like anyone in their line up. They will stay home. The true christians are finding out tha GOP is a lying party.

What a joke for anyone in this administration to call Obama "intellectualy lazy". Bush doesn't even read newspapers!The sooner we get rid of this bunch-the better! Go Hillary!!

OK... because Bush is KNOWN for being correct.

"Meanwhile, a senior White House official tells Sammon that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's chief competitor for the nomination, is "capable" of winning the White House, but has shown an "intellectual laziness."

Really!?!?! this from the Bush camp? Do they really want to play this game?

Unfortunately Mr. Bush is right; Republicans want Senator Clinton to win the nomination and then they will push one male republican, and use the same scare tactics that they have been using for the last 50 years such as “Stop Communist is South east Asia, Stop Communist in Latin America”. But now the new slogan is “stop terrorist” (Never mind for a republican a terrorist is anybody that disagrees with the Republicans narrow minded agenda), remember Regan?. Plus Americans are “NOT” ready for a Woman, Black, or a Latino to be President.

Ta Ta…

I would be completed perplexed if people vote Republican just because they don't like Sen. Clinton. COME ON!! People must me masochist to keep up with a Republican White House.

I prefer some I don’t like who will be do a better job, over someone more likable who will keep the country in its current destructive path. Amazing!!

for once bush may be right about something. though he doesn't quite have the reasons right. read more:

http://news.aol.com/elections-blog/2007/09/24/hillary-hard-to-beat/

It was decided a long time ago who would be installed as President in 2008.

Intellectual laziness is something that about which White House officials have indisputable expertise and unchallenged experience.

Oh here we go with the thoughts of George Bush. He's saying he will help get a Republican in office. I can hear it now... voting machines being on the blink, voters being turned away with felony records of other people with the same name, etc. Also, the fact is a Democratic candidate has already been selected and is being "groomed" for the presidency. I bet alot of you educated posters didn't know that.

The crooked Republicans want Clinton to beat Obama because of the character issue. If Hillary wins, she will not be able to expose the character flaws that the Republican front runner have.

The only reason Bush is predicting that Hillary will be the Dem nominee is so all his faithful followers (those numbers are dwindling too) will put her in their cross hairs so they go after her relentlessly.

He doesn't want to be the one to hand the presidency to a woman, especially if that woman is Hillary Clinton.

i hope that he is as wrong about this as he was about Iraq

Let's see this is the person who predicted WMD in Iraq, We would be greated like liberators in Iraq....Yeh right, democrats lets follow him one more time.

a senior White House official tells Sammon that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's chief competitor for the nomination, is "capable" of winning the White House, but has shown an "intellectual laziness."

-

What?! A White House official calling Barack Obama, of all people, intellectually lazy? Clean up your own house before you try to trash another! The current White House administration is obviously the pinnicale of intellectual rigor and success...

I am an independent. If Hillary wins the primary, I will vote for the Republican.

Bush is always wrong.

so, Mr. Bush and his croonies got 2 things FINALLY right!!!

1: Hillary will win the nomination
2. Oboring have "intellectual laziness".....

Congrat's!!!!

Who cares what he thinks or predicts, he has lead this nation to shame with his hypocritical, corrupt administration. ANY democrat candidate could do a better job...heck I could do better job

"I will work to see to it that a Republican wins and therefore don't accept the premise that a Democrat will win. I truly think the Republicans will hold the White House."

PAPERLESS VOTING MACHINES?
