Bush takes a shot at Obama

President Bush appeared to take a thinly veiled shot at Illinois's junior senator during today's White House news conference.

He didn't mention Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) by name (it wouldn't have been "thinly-veiled" then.) But during a part of the press conference where the president alleged that there were "people" (read Democrats) who were acting as though they had won the election already, he was obviously thinking Obama.


"And we're going to win. Now, I know that defies conventional wisdom here. I'm not suggesting anybody in this august crowd has determined the outcome of the election already, but they're running profiles on who this person is going to be running this office, or this one that's going to be -- magazines have got all kinds of new stars emerging when they haven't won the votes yet."

2. Not winning votes never stopped george.

It's truly gotten to the point where objections to his comments just write themselves.

3. What rising stars are there in the GOP?

Santorum, Allen, Frist are now known losers.

This is distraction material.

4. Bush shouldn't be critical of magazines which he's unable to read.

And he shouldn't be critical of political parties which he has cheated to win the White House.

Twice.

..was also on the cover on Newsweek recently.
