Even GW Bush admits this is true.

"Senator McCain's not here," Bush said of GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain. "He probably wanted to distance himself from me a little bit."

This should come as no surprise. After all, Bush is the most unpopular president in modern history.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/01...
"A new poll suggests that George W. Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history. No president has ever had a higher disapproval rating in any CNN or Gallup poll; in fact, this is the first time that any president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark.
The poll also indicates that support for the war in Iraq has never been lower. Thirty percent of those questioned favored the war while 68 percent opposed the conflict."
McCain spent so much time and energy cuddling up to Bush only to see Bush's unpopularity become a liability for him in the general election.
LOL.
If these poll numbers hold, McCain may have to flipflop against Bush after just recently flipflopping for Bush.

Oh no... Now, I'm just wondering if we'll see a month long melodramatic he-said, he-said, back and forth battle in the media between Bush and McCain over this. Will MSNBC and CNN help poor dumb viewers like me figure out who's "bitter" and who is being "thrown under the bus"? And just what does it mean to "denounce" something, anyway? It's all so confusing... ;-(

Bush's presidency has been marked by utter and complete incompetence, irresponsibility, dishonesty, cronyism, corruption, unending war, and now economic recession.
And McCain has given every indication that his presidency will effectively be a continuation of Bush's. Is it any wonder that Bush is considered a liability?

I had heard a while back that Bush considered himself to be a liability for McCain, however apparently McCain doesn't have enough sense to figure this out, declaring he will continue in Bushies footsteps. Much like his confusion on Sunnis and Shiites and who is and isn't a terrorist and who funds AlQaeda!
Bush has been a liability on everyone who has ever had contact with him, maybe he's finally realizing that, NAH!

UR high. Bush is the worst president in history. When will people wake the F up and realize that we're only seeing the beginnings of what Bush set up for America.
Not only did he make global terrorism worse, he also bankrupted us so we can't afford to fight it anymore.
We need some tribunals to get to the bottom of his dealings.

The dynamics will shift when there is a clear Democratic frontrunner. Hopefully before the convention, after the primaries wrap up. Right now all three candidates are scoring about equal. Once one Dem is out, that candidate's voters will mainly line up behind the other.
McCain is skating right now. Once the Dems duke it out, his senility and similarity to Bush will be much more apparent. How much depends on which Dem emerges as the candidate.

I pray you're right but I couldn't help thinking back to the 2000 and 2004 debates between Gore and Kerry respectively against an obviously intellectually outgunned George Bush. To this day I squirm and cringe in disgust and embarrassment whenever Bush opens his mouth to speak or crack one of his lame jokes and I used to feel even worse watching him debate both Gore and Kerry and...well, anyone actually. And to see such an obvious mental midget like Bush get elected twice before the eyes of the entire world... Every time I think about it, I feel chunks rising. ;-(

...you mean die for the greed prevalent in one particular party! All the sole source unaudited contracts... all the stonewalling by the Bush DOJ to reported contractor fraud and abuse from Iraq and Afghanistan... how the Repugs can't even support a GI Bill like that our World War II soldiers got...Walter reed and Bragg soldeir facilities fiascos... so many more lies and mismanagement from Dumya and his sycophants/cronies!

Ani, of course you mean experienced like George Bush, whom...now correct me if I'm wrong...YOU voted for.
A man of and for the ages. A statesman for our time. A guy of real gravitas.
Experience isn't just a matter of getting elected and showing up at the job, is it? I'm talking about the pre-presidential--I mean, "presidential"--Bush.
And yet many people voted for him, didn't they? To their everlasting shame.
One hopes.

For John McCain, Bush is not a liability. He is the Bush with a face mask. Both are hypocrites, both are liars, both swindlers and both expert con artists.
One should have gone to prison for bilking thousands of small depositors out of their life savings in 1980's. Amazing he is still walking and want to be the President.
Another should be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
What a combination!!!!!!!!!!
