HW Bush Invites Obama to Texas...

Postby Gouda » Fri Oct 16, 2009 12:08 pm

Lieutenants James Baker and Robert Gates to join them.
(Now how's that for a do or die deep state moment?!)

There is a long tradition of sitting Presidents courting, relying on and even plotting with their predecessors, and the latest chapter is set to unfold Friday afternoon when former President George Herbert Walker Bush, accompanied by former Secretary of State James Baker, greets Barack Obama as he steps off a Marine Corps helicopter in College Station, Texas.

At Bush's invitation, the 44th Commander in Chief is paying a long-planned visit to the home of Bush's presidential library to mark the 20th anniversary of the voluntarism initiative begun by the former President in 1989.

Obama is expected to pay tribute to Bush's Points of Light Initiative...

Joining the two men on stage will be Robert Gates, the Secretary of Defense and former president of the university, who has worked for both Presidents...

I'm sure there will be popcorn at the showing of the home movies.

Choice bits from the points of light tribute:

La Times:

In a glowing tribute to a Republican predecessor, President Obama on Friday praised President George H.W. Bush as an example of someone who eschewed "a life of comfort and privilege" and instead devoted himself to public service -- inside government and out.

The former president, he said, proved that "the R or D next to your name is irrelevant" in challenging times.

Dallas Morning News:

[Obama] called Bush's words, works and entire life an inspiration – an example of the "extraordinary ripple effect" one person can have...

"He called for a vast galaxy of people and institutions working together to solve problems in their own backyards. Twenty years later, think for a minute about the impact that he's had."

Outside, protesters spent the afternoon denouncing Obama as a socialist and a liar. Many were puzzled that Bush invited him to campus.

Bush had asked critics to keep their vitriol in check so the focus remained on a nonpartisan cause.

Going back a little bit...

GWHB was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 but has steadfastly denied it.

His "family friend" Hinckley tried to kill Reagan and raise him to top dog position.

By most accounts, Papa Bush was the man behind the throne during Reagan's full eight years.

Does anyone else find it odd that he was palling around with ex-pres Billy Clinton for an extended time there?

So now is the time to initiate the new guy (in private, under cover of a staged celebration) into the program, inform Obama of a few essential facts that he needs to know in order to do his job properly.

You can call me a wacko conspiracist; I may take it as a compliment. :shock:

Time for the "Bill Hicks Moment" or perhaps the "Bill Hicks REMINDER moment".

I think Obama has been, since Day One, a tool of these people.

But yeah, to be summoned to Poppy Bush's place in the presence of Gates and especially Consigliere Baker, and forced to publicly fellate Poppy for the media ......

Talk about an "Uncle Tom" moment.

Maybe it's just me, but this is one of the most sickening things I've seen in a long long time.

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance"

Wait, though.

This is exactly the kind of thing that de-legitimizes so much honest work by historians and theorists. You say that GHW Bush was in Dallas on 11-23-63; I say, prove it.

You can't. If you have no proof, don't pretend to grasp the facts. Because then it becomes faith-related speculation, and that is like religion.
The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

yeah ... prove it ... oh, you can?

The FBI says George H.W. Bush was in Dallas that terrible day.

FBI memos from within MINUTES of the assassination chronicle what “George H.W. Bush, President of Zapata Off-Shore Drilling Company” called the FBI to report “hearsay” that someone wanted to kill President Kennedy.
A certain Mr Parrot (get it)
Mr Bush says he is proceeding to Dallas at right about that fateful moment

Image

In the following FBI memo, by J Edgar Hoover and from a week after the assassination, states a “Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency” reports that the anti-Castro (and largely anti-JFK) Cuban exile community in Miami said the assassination represents a “great loss” to the US
(yeah, those anti-Castro guys would have wept rivers for Kennedy)

Image

have you grasped the facts now freemason9, or are you going to say they are not the facts now?

A November 29, 1963, memorandum from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to the Director of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research at the Department of State refers to the fact that information on the assassination of President Kennedy was "orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency." At the request of the Review Board, the CIA made a thorough search of its records in an attempt to determine if the "George Bush" referred to in the memorandum might be identical to President and former Director of Central Intelligence George Herbert Walker Bush. That search determined that the CIA had no association with George Herbert Walker Bush during the time frame referenced in the document.

(Source: Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board, September 1998.)

What is the source of the documents you displayed, and what verifies their authenticity?

Absolutely no more light aircraft of any kind for President Pretty-Boy starting right now, that's my advice. Personally, I wouldn't even get on Marine One if I were in his shoes. There's nothing wrong with taking long walks, after all. They're good for you.

Salem bin Laden died in a Sprint ultra-light? I wouldn't fly in one of those fuckers on a bet, regardless of the existence of James Addison Baker, III.
