Bush Filibusters McCain's Endorsement Presser: 'Every candidate has got to say "change.'
By John Amato Tuesday Mar 04, 2008 2:15pm
John McCain stood there while Bush filibustered the entire presser and upstaged his big moment in the sun. The Prez was more interested in cracking jokes to the press than letting McCain look like the GOP's presidential nominee. He also doesn't like the word "change" very much.
McCain welcomes Bush to campaign with him as much as he can, which I'm sure we'd all like to see.
THE PRESIDENT: Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, vote for me, I'm an agent of change. In 2004, I said, I'm not interested in change -- I want to continue as President. Every candidate has got to say "change." That's what the American people expect.
And the good news about our candidate is, there will be a new President, a man of character and courage -- but he's not going to change when it comes to taking on the enemy.
Democrats.org has posted the entire press conference since as they say "we fear that some Americans may miss George Bush assurances that John McCain would continue the Bush Administrations failed economic and foreign policies."
UPDATE: Digby says Bush looked like he was on Meth...
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, we'll answer a couple of questions.
Abramowitz. Sorry you got such a lousy seat back there. (Laughter.)
Q I wanted to ask about the -- the voters, according to a lot of the exit polls, seem to be searching for change this year. And I'd like to ask both of you -- excuse me -- I'd like to ask both of you how the Republican Party, which has been here for eight years, is going to make the case that you're going to provide the change that the voters seem to want, both on Iraq and the economy?
THE PRESIDENT: Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, vote for me, I'm an agent of change. In 2004, I said, I'm not interested in change -- I want to continue as President. Every candidate has got to say "change." That's what the American people expect.
And the good news about our candidate is, there will be a new President, a man of character and courage -- but he's not going to change when it comes to taking on the enemy. He understands this is a dangerous world, and I understand we better have steadfast leadership who has got the courage and determination to pursue this enemy, so as to protect America.
John McCain will find out, when he takes the oath of office, his most important responsibility is to protect the American people from harm. And there's still an enemy that lurks, an enemy that wants to strike us. And this country better have somebody in that Oval Office who understands the stakes, and John McCain understands those stakes.
SENATOR McCAIN: Thank you, sir. I don't have anything to add. (Laughter.)
Q Can I follow-up, sir? How would you --
THE PRESIDENT: No, you can't follow up. Thank you. (Laughter.)
Q Yes, on --
THE PRESIDENT: No, no, not you. Kelly.
Q Senator McCain, given President Bush's low approval ratings, will this be a negative or a positive for you? And how much do you hope he'll campaign for you on the trail?
SENATOR McCAIN: I hope that he will campaign for me as much as is keeping with his busy schedule. I'll be pleased to have him with me both from raising money and the much needed finances for the campaign, and addressing the challenging issues that face this country. I'm pleased to have him as is -- as it fits into his busy schedule.
Kelly.
Q Mr. President, Senator McCain, sir, how would you counsel Senator McCain to choose a running mate, how quickly? And given the fact that Democrats will field a nominee who will make some kind of history -- a woman, an African America -- should Republicans consider that in selecting a Vice Presidential nominee?
THE PRESIDENT: I'd tell him to be careful about who he names to be the head of the selection committee. (Laughter.) Look, he's got plenty of experience. He knows what he needs to do, which is to have a process that vets candidates, and the person -- somebody he's going to be comfortable with and somebody whose advice he relies upon. And he can answer his own question on that, but --
SENATE McCAIN: Could I just say, Kelly, I didn't think it was appropriate to contemplate this process, as I've discussed before, until after we had secured the nomination of the party. Now we'll begin that process.
Q Should history make a difference with a woman or an African American on the Democratic side?
THE PRESIDENT: People don't vote for Vice Presidents -- as much as I hate to say that for those who have been candidates for Vice President -- they're going to vote for who gets to sit inside that Oval Office and make decisions on how to protect the country and keep taxes low and how to have a culture that respects the dignity of every human being. That's what the race is all about. I know there's going to be a lot of speculation on who the Vice President, this and that, but the speculation is over about who our party is going to nominate.
Liz.
Q Mr. President, do you -- how much do you intend to do for Senator McCain? And do you think, in some cases, that your help could actually hurt him more than help him?
THE PRESIDENT: Look, if it -- if my showing up and endorsing him helps him, or if I'm against him and it helps him -- either way, I want him to win. (Laughter.) You know, look, this is an age-old question that you -- every President has had to answer, and there's an appropriate amount of campaigning for me to do.
But they're not going to be voting for me. I've had my time in the Oval Office. It's been a fabulous experience, by the way. And they're going to be voting for the next person to come in here and make the tough decisions about America -- America's security, America's prosperity, and, you know, America's hopefulness. That's what this race is about, and it's not about me. You know, I've done my bit.
And, by the way, I'm not through, and I'm going to do a lot. And John is right -- I do have a day job to keep, and I plan on keeping it. I've told the people that follow me in this press corps that I'm going to sprint to the finish, and I mean what I say. I've got a lot to do. But I'm going to find ample time to help, and I can help raising money, and if he wants my pretty face standing by his side at one of these rallies, I'll be glad to show up.
But they're going to be looking at him, you know. I'm going to be in Crawford -- (laughter) -- with my feet up. He's going to be sitting in there behind that desk, making the decisions on war and peace, and I'm thankful our party has nominated somebody plenty capable of making those decisions. And when the American people take a hard look, they're going to feel comfortable, like I feel comfortable, in recommending him to take my place.
Listen, we thank you.
Wolf, where's Wolf? No, I'm not calling you. Wolf. No, not you, either. Where's Wolf?
Q Right here.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, ask something, will you? (Laughter.)
Q Where do you think you can be most helpful campaigning for him around the country?
THE PRESIDENT: You know, look -- I mean, if --
Q And Senator McCain, where would you like the President to campaign with you?
THE PRESIDENT: As I told you, you know, if he wants me to show up, I will. If he wants me to say, "You know, I'm not for him," I will. Whatever he wants me to do, I want him to win. And, you know, Wolf, I don't know where. I mean, look --
SENATOR McCAIN: Could I start out with --
THE PRESIDENT: I'm focusing on, you know, protecting America, and succeeding in Iraq, and dealing with the North Korea, and dealing with the Iranian, and dealing with the issues around the world where we're making a difference in terms of keeping peace. I want to get this in as good as a position as possible so that when John McCain is the President -- and he will be -- he can deal with these issues in a way that yields peace.
SENATOR McCAIN: Wolf, could I say -- one state springs to mind: Texas. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: He's not going to need me in Texas. He's going to be a landslide in Texas.
SENATOR McCAIN: Could I just say that I do intend to campaign all across the country. I think that literally every section in this country is at -- in play. And I will be glad to have the President with me, in keeping with his schedule, in any part of America. And we're going to go everywhere in America with this campaign.
THE PRESIDENT: Listen, thank you all very much for coming.
Q Did you talk names for Vice President? (Laughter.)
Q One press conference every week if you're elected, Senator?
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. It's been a pleasure to see you. Obviously we've invited some unruly members of the fourth estate here. I'm disappointed in the conduct of some of the people that have come. I told John it would be a nice and polite crowd. Thank you all very much.

Frist of all - NO change for GOP !!
Did bush just admit that he lied about being "an agent of change" in 2000 just to get elected?
At least the moron-in-chief said he WAS going to leave when his term is up. Whew!
I see it's going to be the constant fear mongering again. I notice how Bush was giving McCrazy a lesson in how to do it.
This proves Johnny is certifiable. That meeting is a free DNC commercial.
how was st john able to answer any questions with his head so far up bush's ass?
With an endorsement like that, the DNC doesn't need to spend any more money. McCain looks like he's toast.
I would included that great old pic of the Bush/McCain hug. It's soooo appropriate now.
If the DNC wins, the American legal community has a real problem: War crimes indictments and disbarment proceedings. DoJ/DHS OPR will have a field day going after legal counsel.
how many people died in Iraq while he was making those jokes?
Ha, ha, ha, (laughter), sorry, but ha, ha, ha, (laughter). Excuse me, but ha, ha, ha (laughter).
God bless America and her comical political theatrics.
Who woke up the gimps?
I can no longer stand seeing or listening to this person.
So I read this:
"I’m focusing on, you know, protecting America, and succeeding in Iraq, and dealing with the North Korea, and dealing with the Iranian, and dealing with the issues around the world where we’re making a difference in terms of keeping peace. I want to get this in as good as a position as possible so that when John McCain is the President — and he will be — he can deal with these issues in a way that yields peace."
So Lincolnesque .... so Churchillian....
or maybe the stupidest person who ever put on a suit.
I hope the DNC buys up a shitload of air time so they can keep running excerpts of this every day until about 5:00 PM on Nov. 2nd.
The image bush conjured of him in Crawford with his feet up contrasts so horribly with flag-covered coffins, blood running in the streets in Iraq, young troops with limbs and faces blown off, shattered families and graves. He will have a luxurious retirement. Play with his grandbabies, fish on his daddy's yacht off the coast of Maine. How grand for him. There won't be any sorrow on his mind in Crawford, not one half a second of remorse, pity, empathy or regret, not even on that far-off day when he finally dies.
Our bushboy has been at the marsala in the kitchen or Dr Feelgood just gave out some samples.
These videos are too painful to watch anymore.
Five seconds of Bush is more than I can take!
Don't laugh.
Anyone who thinks that an idiot cannot be succeeded by a psychotic has underestimated the stupidity of the American electorate.
You want to really get ill? Watch this one:

Why did the "Wolf, hey Wolf, where's wolf?" make me think he was looking for a "freindly" in the crowd? "Damn, the lincoln group told me Wolf would be here, where is he?"!!!
Dumb and Dumber. Or is that Dumberer? Dumberizer?
If McCain is appointed by Diebold, the consolation will be that his name has many possibilities: McCrazy, McShitstain, Darth Vaguer( mad props to Ysbadadden), St. McCain, McSenile, McPresident (in the McDonald's tradition)...
And now, representing the United States of America, the President and future Presi...........hey look.....the circus is in town...oh look at the monkey!!
FYI: the video's been taken off of you tube.
Dumb and Dumber.
The Democrats need to play this over,over,over, and over again.
what. a. fucking. farce.
Chuck @ 19:
Yeah, saw that one and was thinking, "There he goes, tap dancing on the graves
of thousands and thousands of innocent people as usual." The giggling murderer
strikes again.
Wow, talk about your lapdogs. McCain just stood there with a goofy look on his face. Did Gramps eat too much lunch and now he needs a nap? I do hope the MSM shows this shot on the 'news' tonight - even without the dialog it looks bad.
......and if he wants my pretty face standing by his side at one of these rallies.....
Okay, this is just totally discusting and embarassing. What a moron.
Jeebus. Dumbya’s higher than a kite. Surely he’s not back on the cocaine.
I'm absolutely baffled here. The great decider has just completely admitted his willingness to lie to the American people as a whole in order to get what he wants. How is it he can be so casual? Why doesn't anyone call him on this? Where is the rest of our government?
Wheres Wolf...?
WTF????
Is that how press conferences work now? The Smirker goes looking for a question from someone who MIGHT be there??
REMEMBER THE ONLY WAY MCCAIN WILL WIN IN 2008 IS WHEN THE MONKEY-ASS-FACED PRESUDENT WILL INSTRUCT HIS COHORT TO CHEAT THE ELECTION FOR HIM AND EVEN THE SUPREME COURT WILL SIDE WITH THEM.
McCain wants Bush on his campaign TRAIL but 75% of Americans want Bush on TRIAL.
I wonder who will CHANGE McCain's Depends?
Jennifer Webster @ 31:
Where have YOU been?? Not calling him on sh*t has been SOP for 7 years now.
GWB - the face of the McLostIt campaign.
Perfect.
what a pair of turds?
"given his low approval ratings..."! - ROTFLMBBAO
eeekkks @ 33:
The Supreme Court would side with him, yes.
But they can't allow McCain or anyone to use Hank Asher's MATRIX surveillance program to hack democracy again. Perhaps this was the reason for the drawn out Telecom Immunity fight?
Now that's what I call fear mongering. Put that photo on posters, make t-shirts.....with a warning label, of course. We owe these assholes a Christmas gift.
Chuck @ 19:
My God...George is such a fucking idiot.
Didn't the WarPig say at one point with the utmost certainty that McCain will be the President? So does that mean he will be Diebolded in like he was?
total bullshit.
So Bush's endorsement of McCain was nothing more then another photo op. All this attention on the presidential candidates must be painful for Bush because he really believes that he is the center of the universe.
My God, is Bush coming apart at the seams or what? Could he be any more undignified?
I was expecting he'd flip the bird at the press corps at the end.
And McCain wants to continue what Bush is doing in Iraq as well as mismanaging our economy? Good luck on getting sensible people to vote for you, John.
Roket @ 30:
I heard a clip of him on NPR, he sounded drunk as hell.
Why does the press continue to laugh along with him when he makes these silly "jokes" and stands there while he waits for them respond as they have been trained to do?
Elect McCain For More Of The Same!
lol we gonna miss bush
the dems should show the picture of mccain hugging bush over and over again until the elections are over, with a caption on top reading, do you really want this dumb old man running this country for the next 4 years.
Bush is definitely on something, probably prescribed, and it makes him really obnoxious. The way he treats these professionals is beneath contempt. I hate their obsequious laughter. They are all of them Whores.
Chuck @ 19:
absolutely an embarassment
Kerry @ 36:
Who do you want to call him on his sh*t? If anyone from any news organization were to call him on his sh*t to his face by the end of the week they would be lucky to be doing a column for your local weekly shopper. People call him on his sh*t all the time but it will not be covered on TV so it just as well didn't happen. The attorney General, the top law enforcement officer in the United States won't even honor a legal subpoena from Congress. Bush has all the basis covered nothing can happen until the administration changes.
Bush is such an ass. The chemistry between those two reminds me a Wally Cleaver and Eddie Haskell.

It's rather funny that the age of the VP choice is so important in this particular election since the nominee has a good chance of not lasting his first term (if he's even around for the general election) given his age and health.

I love the way Bush just cuts Cotton Hill off in the middle of an answer. "Make my dinner Hank's wife!!!"

Chuck @ 19:
The commentators were highly amused by Bush's antics and showed no embarrassment whatsoever that this individual represents them on the world stage.
Although I don't like McCain, I must say Bush looked as stupid as ever standing next to him.
Best government money can buy!!!
And that's the same douchebag that America kept in the White House for eight years. If anyone should be embarrassed, it's the American public.
No wonder I have to tell people I'm from Canada when I travel internationally.
So... McCain's platform is no change in Iraq, no change in the economy? Wow.
I noticed McCreep had no american flag pin, so he's not a patriot after all!
This is also evidenced by the previous article on here the points out that he supports the government outsourcing its own jobs!!
"John McCain will find out, when he takes the oath of office, his most important responsibility is to protect the American people from harm."
Jackass still has his priorities screwed up. Oath of Office is to uphold the Constitution. I can protect myself thank you very much.

Is it legal to be using the White House as backdrop in offering partisan political endorsements?
Wow, what a fucking idiot! This guy is beyond pathetic, so stupid he didnt understand that his low approval ratings are like a ball and chain around McLame's leg.
Dealing with the North Korean, dealing with the Iranian.....
I hope our Congress remembers to deal with Chimpy, the real threat is in the W.H.
I've never seen a president be happier during war time.
Anon2 @ 2:
Yes. He was bragging that he BS'd the US into "electing" him. He seems to really believe that he deserves to be in the Oval Office at all, as if his campaign hadn't stolen the WH in 2000 and stolen it again in 2004. Then he pretended to speak for McCain after Rove did the dirty work on John back in 2000, spreading rumors about his black baby. We are supposed to believe the Bush fantasies lock, stock and barrel, and if not, then he'll shout LOUDER and try to be even more comically pathetic, but he's the president so it doesn't much matter what anyone else thinks. History will judge him. What's worse, he's a "Christian" and so there will be another judgement where you're not allowed to BS the judge.
Personally, if he wasn't totally drunk ("they must have had a power lunch" one commentator quipped) then he was on some other kind of stimulant or drug or something. It's quite obvious but I guess unmentionable by MSNBC or CNN. This day shows the media for what it is. A lot of suckups who are interested in the circus and who have no memories or scruples or love for the country as it is destroyed by all the bad stuff we know has been happening for long years now.
Bush is -- as usual -- dead wrong. If I truly believed that everything was going well with this country and the incumbent president was for some reason not running (either because s/he has decided to step down or was finishing a second term), I personally would have serious reservations about voting for a presidential candidate for whom "change" was the dominating message. As they say, "if it ain't broke -- don't fix it." If everything is going well and you're someone who wants to "change" it, doesn't that suggest that maybe you don't want things to go well anymore?
Of course, I know it's highly unlikely that we'll ever reach a point in this country at which everything's going well for everyone because not everyone is the same and there will always be people who disagree with the majority assessment. However, when many things are not going well in the country -- like now -- then it's not only natural that "change" will become a dominant theme among the various candidates, it becomes critical.
I wonder if at McCain rallies we'll be listening to chants of
Four More Years!
It's not about him - but he still feels the need to totally dominate the press conference. He definitely has control issues.
This is wonderful news! Oh, I'm sooooo happy! President Bush has sprinkled his magic "19% approval rating" dust on McCain and is now assured to have a successful run for POTUS.
Woo hoo!!!
Mikelx @ 75:
Seriously. It was like watching an unfunny Cheech y Chong routine.
How PATHETIC. McCain is outshined by Chimp Boy. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C.
Awesome!!
The Brushcutter just couldn't shut the fuck up, could he? I'm glad he found a kindred spirit with Ol' McDrain...Kinda like a child molested by a creepy old uncle who still "loves" the perv.
Of course, we all know Chimpboy is great at
earningstealing money. But don't expect a coke-whore to share the proceeds.John, just keep making appearances with the drunk, whacked-out boat anchor around your neck. We can't get enough of it; we'll make some GREAT TV ads to remind you in case you want to forget!
superchamp @ 81:
"The Preznit does it, therefore it must be legal."
It constantly amazes how people seem to think that because someone was in the military it makes him ready for the presidency. U.S. Grant, anyone? G.H.W. Bush? G.W. Bush? Why does McCain's time in a North Vietnamese prison camp make him a better candidate for president? Does that mean that Billy Hayes, the hashish smuggler who spent years in a Turkish prison and whose exploits were the basis of the film Midnight Express, would make a great president? If Hillary or Obama had the lobbying history and scandalous legislative record that McCain has, they would be crucified on TV and in the papers 24/7. But Saint McCain gets off scot-free because he's Mr. Str8 Talk. But with the blogs and the Internet the truth will out, and people will see what a lying, scheming SOB McCain really is. They never should have let him get away with that S&L scandal in the first place. He's getting a free ride now, but as soon as the Dems settle on a nominee they're going after him with a vengeance. He got more skeletons in his closet than an anatomy class. And he just received a double kiss of death: an endorsement from Bush and the quasi-homoerotic manlove of Chris "Tweety" Matthews. It's going to be fun watching that bastard go down. And if you to call me unpatriotic, go ahead, because if being patriotic means supporting Bush/Cheney/McCain and the Rethugs, then I will refrain from doing so. It looks as though that kind of blind patriotism is destroying our nation, and I am not going to sit idly by and watch a bunch of neocon miscreants wipe thier asses with the U.S. Constitution.
Out of morbid curiosity, I tuned into the glorious event that was Bush's endorsement of McCain at the White House. Here's part of the little circle jerk Chris Matthews and Brian Williams participated in:
Williams: Chris, your thoughts?
Matthews: Well it was a very debonair ritual there, and carried off in fine fashion.
Williams: You know what I thought was unsaid, was when they took their position. They end up in this spot in the sun, and there in the shadow is John McCain's buckled, concave, right shoulder. It's a part of his body the suit doesn't fill out because of his war injuries. And again, you wouldn't spot it if you didn't know to look for it. He doesn't give the same full-chested profile as the president. But talk about a war hero!
Matthews: You know, when he was a POW all those years, Machiavelli had it right when he said 'the more you give to something the more committed you are to it'. He committed to his country over there. He made an investment in America alone in that cell when he was being tortured and afraid of being out to death. People will look at these facts when he comes up against the Democratic nomination in November.
What a couple of sad little men.
Powkat @ 28:
MSNBC just had Tucker showing clips which totally ignored the embarrassing parts and from which one could take away only the usual boring tripe. The Americans who get their news from TV/Cable once again will be protected from seeing what a completely insane lying scheming ignorant arrogant humorless self-important moron is "running" the place. Thisw isn't in the Constituion since we're supposed to run the country as citizens who are aware of what's going on. Guess not.

What sort of meds was Bush on during that press conference? He was even more hyped up and belligerent than usual. McCain could barely get a word in edgewise. What an embarrassment to have such an idiot as the face of America.

Doin' preznittin' stuff and decidin' things. It's all hard work, being Preznit. Oh, and before I forget, this here is John McCain, he's good people. A perfect preznittin' type you can get behind.

So now Bush is able to deliver the 19 lunatics out of every hundred who thnk he is just swell. Seems to me that these co-morons would have either already been for McCain or at the best would sleep thru the electionin their padded cells. So what does McCain gain by kissing Bush's smelly ass?
Is it possible that McCain would like to get some of that happy juice Bush was slurping?
"He's known for his candor"? That's rich.
Did anyone pick up on the slam to Cheney!! When they asked McCain about choosing a VP, Bush put in his 2 cents: "Be careful who you put in charge of the selection committee" - who, in Bush's case, was CHENEY. Cheney decided that he, of all the possible candidates for VP, he would be the best pick.
Also, McCain needs to stay out of the sun - his melanoma might come back a fourth time.

Chimpy dances while America burns. Our great leader tap danced for the world, while he waited for the tardy McCain to show up. I can't wait to see all the YouTube videos we get out of this. Can the Bush legacy get any more surreal? Need you ask? Damn right it can!
George Bush is beyond any doubt the very worst President in the history of our country. You can see Bush expects McCain to continue these horrible Bush policies and McCain seem ready to continue this GOP disaster. Thank god we get to have an election and send more GOPers in the House and Senate packing in Jan along with election of a Democrat to the White House. Good by
Bush/Cheney/Rice/McCain.

I really liked how Bush shot down one reporter and then told McCain to call on "Kelly". And I'll be damned if McCain didn't call on Kelly.
I expected Bush to say, "Now go get me a cheeseburger".

I've noticed something odd in the Rose Garden since first seeing Kennedy there, but only the insanity of seeing Shrub and McSame standing there together makes it of more interest: why are those door jambs different widths and why is that one door knob off center?

There's a double slam to Cheney. Around 3:34 Bush directly says that people don't vote for vice presidents - meaning he thinks the reason he won twice is him and him alone.
