Bush's Remarks at Coretta King's Funeral

[noel711]

Well, well, well... Mr. President did an admirable job speaking at Mrs. King's service.. but in no way did he write that speech. It was biblical, literate, deep, historical and touching.. and brief.
I give him credit for being present, and not sending Condi...
He must be trying to earn some 'currency' with which to play the public.
The service itself is beautiful.

1. His approval rating among African-Americans is about 2 pct.

That's the one and only reason he showed up in my opinion.

10. negative 10% with that margin of error!

That was dec-jan poll #'s, I believe.
Oh, last week, foxnews was BRAGGING,that Mr.bush's approval numbers were "holding steady at 39%"!! LOL!

2. The Mayor of Atlanta (on now) is a great speaker.

She's getting much applause in her tribute to Mrs. King.

3. Is Clinton going to speak?

4. Don't know--- I sincerely hope he does. I also hope

to hear from Maya Angelou. She was on the news this morning, commenting on Coretta.

The Mayor just got *major* applause, much more than the pResident did.

7. yeah i saw that, it was excellent and hearing Bush talk about struggling

was just so wrong, he's knows as much about struggling as i know about rocket science which is to say---nothing.

6. Like someone else on another thread said

Maybe he (or someone else) will bring up the fact that her husband was a wiretap victim }(

Tactfully, respectfully.....in the spirit of 'overcoming'!

11. WooHoo! YOU said it!

Right out LOUD! thank YOU. I was thinkin' the same, during hearing yesterday..
Let's be sure DC gets reminded o'this. I also wrote in MY recent email to DC, that Mrs.King & Rosa Parks died of broken Hearts, watching Katrina happen.

5. We all should know that programming is brought to you by the

"faith-based" movement that collects well from the Bush administration. I am certain that this has been a point of division among the King children but they will never reveal the schism that exists.

8. His presence defiles the service.

This idiot president is an evil, arrogant bastard whose very presence pollutes the service for Mrs. King.

9. My feelings exactly. Not to mention wondering if his Daddy killed the Rev

in the first place. No doubt in my mind he could have.

12. Light a candle,listen from the next room..
