Bush: Obama, Clinton Threaten "Prosperity And Peace"



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/08/bush-obama-clinton-thre_n_85646.html

WASHINGTON — President Bush, rallying conservatives for a battle against Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, says "prosperity and peace" are at stake in the upcoming election for his successor.

"We have had good debates and soon we will have a nominee who will carry the conservative banner into this election and beyond," Bush said in prepared remarks of a speech he was to give Friday to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

"Prosperity and peace are in the balance," the president said in speech excerpts the White House released on Thursday night. "So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward ... fight for victory ... and keep the White House in 2008."

Bush is not expected to mention by name John McCain, who almost surely will be the GOP's presidential nominee. Conservatives are resigned to seeing McCain lead the Republican ticket, but the Arizona senator has a long history of disputes over economic and social issues with the party's right flank.

2. What prosperity and peace?
We're fighting wars in two countries and millions of people are losing their jobs and/or their homes. Where's the prosperity and peace? :shrug:

6. That's what Chimpy means
If Obama is elected, peace and prosperity might exist again. And his friends in the "defense" industry wouldn't be happy with that.

Maybe he means "peace and prosperity" for the top income 1% of our population?

STFU, Georgie...

7. Prosperity and Peace
Amazing. I wish I could say that his statements no longer amaze me, but apparently I can still be flummoxed by his incredible ability to fling poo and call it a speech.
