Obama: Bush Is “John McCain’s President”
Of all the tiresome rhetoric the left throws around about Bush this has got to be among the most loathsome.
I don’t think any American has to like a given President. Certainly I wouldn’t like a President Obama. But I do think that if you love this country, and you love our system of government, you have to at least acknowledge that the national leader that system put into power.
You cannot say “I am an American” and then say that Bush isn’t your President. Bush is your President, through the workings of the very system of government that makes America what it is. For Obama to say that Bush is not his President but rather just John McCain’s President is to spit on the very democratic process Obama hopes will make him President.
It’s dangerous to have political figures as high of profile as Obama saying such things. Our nation is held together only by our mutual consensus that our system of government is legitimate. Even we become too flippant about the legitimacy of our leaders we shake the very foundations of our government.
Obama should apologize for this.
