Obama Administration’s Response To Bush Criticism: “We Won”

Proof • June 19, 2009

And that’s all well and good. They did win. But given the direction the Obama administration is heading, if they don’t start listening to their critics they probably won’t win the next one.

In a speech this week, Bush came off the sidelines for the first time since the beginning of the Obama administration to lob criticisms at Obama for his economic policies and his decision to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Gibbs said Thursday that many of those policies were debated during last year’s election.
“We kept score last November, and we won,” Gibbs said.

I’m not sure that “we won” is a particularly good rhetorical mantra to use against President Bush. Obama may have won, but Bush and Cheney weren’t even on the ballot. The guy Obama beat is a very liberal Republican with policy ideas that, frankly, weren’t all that far off from Obama’s.
So yes. They won. But they’re also blaming everything from the budget deficits to the economy on Bush. Should they be surprised when Bush fires back?

“We kept score last November, and we won,” Gibbs said.

Add this answer to the list of Gibbs’s other idiotic answers, this guy is a complete dufus.
You’re right Gibbs you did win and because of what you liberal thugs are doing to America, you’re going to lose in less than 4 years.
You can start keeping score on that in Nov of 2010.

You asked, do I feel free. Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. That’s what happened in the — after the 2000 election, I earned some capital. I’ve earned capital in this election — and I’m going to spend it for what I told the people I’d spend it on, which is — you’ve heard the agenda: Social Security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror.

Hannitized,

What does Bush have to do with Obama?

And moreover what sense does it make that because Bush didn’t listen to his critics, Obama shouldn’t, especially given the fact that Obama won a protest vote against Bush even though he wasn’t on a ballot?

Finally, how does Bush not listening in any way disqualify Rob’s opinion?

Yeah and Carter won too. Your point would be…??? America needed a wake-up call, soemthing to shake us out of our apathy. Too bad we had to get someone worse than Carter… but, America will survive and be stronger…

Obama says “I won so I can do anything that pleases me.” He thinks that he is equivalent to a king or other tyrant and has carte blanche authority. All the rest of us are serfs who need to adhere to his ever command. Hopefully he will have a wide awakening some day but that day will probably not happen until his adoring public comes to its senses.

Hannitized,

Do you think Bush should have listened to his critics?
then maybe Obama should too.

Do you think he should have made adjustments?
then maybe Obama should too.

Or are you saying that Obama should follow the Bush line do what you castigate Bush for having done, in effect continue the Bush legacy and full fill Bush’s Third Term would this then make Obama the man you always hoped he would be?

Bush Dark?

Some real petulant bitches aren’t they. They might want to quit gloating and hurry it up a bit…their “Quicksand” is quickening at an alarming rate and their phony gig is about to be up.

Because Bush always listened to his critics and made adjustments??????

I don’t think so pal. Try again.

Is everyone dense? Do you not understand them?

The liberal idea of the power of the state is that it exists to be used and how is not relevant other than insofar as the righteousness and rightness they assign themselves and their motives.

In other words, liberals are true believers that might makes right when they are exercising the might.
