George H.W. Bush Says He Did Not Agree to Diplomatic Mission With Bill Clinton

Border

Nope, wouldn’t be prudent.

Former President George H.W. Bush is taking issue with statements made by Bill Clinton Monday that the duo would embark on a mission of diplomacy around the world if his wife is elected president.

Clinton reportedly made the statements in South Carolina, saying he and Bush would spread the message that “America is open for business and cooperation again,” implying that the former president would need to swoop in to repair diplomatic damage wrought by his son.

But George H.W. Bush’s Chief of Staff Jean Becker released a statement Tuesday saying he and Clinton have made no such plans - even though the two have grown close through charity work since their 1992 presidential election match up.

“Former President Bush wholeheartedly supports the president of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around -the-world mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of home for freedom and democracy,” Becker said. “President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for President, and looks forward to supporting their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.”

Clinton’s comments were just his latest candid assessment of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS Friday, Clinton played down expectations for his wife’s performance in the Iowa caucuses, saying it is a “miracle” she even has a chance in that state.

He also criticized rival Barack Obama as being too inexperienced to run for president and said voters would be taking a risk with him in the White House.

Obama is not too inexperienced to be the President. I am a Republican and I am so amazed at
his ability to pull people together. He was so Presidental last night and such a class act.

Bill is one of the reasons Hillary is losing. She can’t leave him out of her sight for a second without him revealing how untrustworthy and unehtical they both are.

It certainly appears everytime one of the “Clinton’s” open their mouths they tell untruths.
I think all of the lies Hillary has told about her long time experience is a joke and is catching up with her as Bill’s catch up with him.. Thanks for being our “watch dog”. We can’t seem to stay ahead of the game. The Bible says it will all be exposed. Paraphrasing of course.

The ‘Ultimate Con-man,’ Bill Clinton could show Hollywood a lot about acting. His preparation, poker face delivery projecting self-rightousness with a brazen zeal to justify anything that serves he and his sorry wife’s interests are of the same skills possessed by similiarly inteligent others who haven’t been so lucky and habitate prisons.

My opinion of Hillary goes down-hill from there. I’m reminded of the expressions like “She would run over her own mother to get ahead.”

I really believe the 2 Clintons are so truly self-centered like others of the extreme far left that their ego building and selfish financial pursuits would always take precedent over any meaningful matters of governing for the betterment of America. However, they will always project otherwise with a flourish, and remain poker faced to the end.

Not only is he that, but worse the Clintons are criminals.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are known liars. It does not surprise me that they would lie about former President Bush saying he would travel with Bill. The Clintons are evil, nanipulative, and down right liars who do not deserve to even be in the presence of either of the President Bushs. If Hillary is elected, i would not doubt Monica Lewinsky would be on her knees under the oval office desk again. This time just with another Clinton.

Hillary Clinton can’t even control her own household, including her pet dog Slick Willy, how the hell can she run the country?

Experience? At what? Running for President since she was elected Senator nearly 8 years ago. Other than run, and raise money, which she will find a way to funnel back into her own pocket if she loses, what has she done? Nothing! Nada! Zip! Zilch! BTW, taking the campaign money and funneling to personal use is illegal, but hey, that’s not stopped the Clintons before.
