"This guy has no clue," Bush reportedly said about Obama

Dubya gave politicians in D.C. a presidential diss during his tenure in the White House.

Former President George W. Bush privately lashed out at fellow politicians during his presidency and didn't hold back when it came to Barack Obama, Sarah Palin or others, according to a memoir by former speech writer Matt Latimer.

"He came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming," Latimer writes. "'This is a dangerous world,' he said for no apparent reason, 'and this cat (Obama) isn't remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you.'"

...

"If bull---- was currency," he said. "Joe Biden would be a billionaire."

Bush strained to remember if he had met Sarah Palin, according to the book.

"I'm trying to remember if I've met her before," he said. "What is she, the governor of Guam?"

Even though he was not a fan of Hillary Clinton, Bush was wary of her political prowess.

"Wait till her fat keister is sitting at this desk," he said.

2. "Wait till her fat keister is sitting at this desk," he said.

This was why 2008 was such a landslide - the GOP never thought Obama would win the nomination and they thought since day 1 08 would be a battle against Hillary, and they stacked everything in prep for her.

4. One looks to W for deep, probing analysis and political awareness.

No clue before office, in office, or after. . . . What was anybody thinking?

7. They were thinking that the tea people would love him and they helped them love him.

The swagger, the snort, the America is best stuff, the military might stuff, the born again which was never manifested, the addiction(s), the sinning. And all those people never researched, never listened, never rationalized, and were loyal to the batallions who catered to them--- fox, cnn, abc, cbs, all the nbcs. The masterminds knew what they were doing to these people. Very smart, brilliant. The way they herded. They knew exactly what they were doing with George. Besides, Cheney was the President and George the front man for fund raising. He was the magnet for the teatypers and those groomed by hate filled reverends. He didn't have to be smart, diplomatic, courteous. We are going into five full decades of Bush and Cheney 43. They put idiots in place - Cheney included - to keep us occupied while the corporate-military-banking agenda was advanced. They worked hard to get what they wanted out of that eight year administration and they succeeded.
