Bush's Past Op-Ed Appearances

As part of his continuing quest to sell lawmakers and the American people on his stimulus plan, President Obama penned an op-ed for the Washington Post that ran this morning.

"...each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes," wrote the president. "And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse."

President Obama is only 'following bush' in occupying the White House.

Obama is a leader. Bush was a walking disaster area.

The difference is Obama actually wrote his op-ed.

Jan. 20, 2005 op-ed from Bush said a brighter day is coming to America.
I'll be damned. He was right. He was off by four years, but he was right.

I don't think it would be a stretch to say that Obama has a slightly more expansive vocabulary and superior command of the language than his predecessor.

I can't stand to look at his picture....he makes me sick!

Any chance that, if I click my ruby red sliipers three times, any news about this clown will go away for good?

Bush did not write those OpEds. I'd bet my dwindling 401k. He may have approved them, but like the commercial says, "He had people." Which is good because we know how he was when he had to speak from the cuff. Those sound bites alone should qualify him for the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for Humor.

Bush wrote op eds?!

I thought I would find this coming to us from 23/6

[Reaniel]

You're not seriously thinking that Bush wrote the Op-Ed's himself, are you?
