Maybe Bush shouldn't have been so inconsiderate and asked the question a second time.

No, Bush is employed by the American people; not royalty, not ordained by god. Seems like he deserves that reply and more.
As it turns out the Bush Whitehouse leaked this whole story to define Webb before the session begins. I look forward to Bush getting a LOT more smart a** answers in the months to come.
He has some explaining to do.

in accordance to information components, Obama is calling for armed forces leaders. Jim Webb includes thoughts thinking he's a Vietnma veteran and his son is combating in Iraq. additionally, he could completely stability the fee tag because he's no longer a liberal (former Republican) and owns weapons. this could fare properly with the Southern human beings and Webb would not have any scandals so some distance. His armed forces adventure may well be a counterattack to McCain's POW days. Webb is certainl an asset to Obama even nonetheless that is important to have a vice chairman that would not look smarter or greater adventure than the president. additionally, it may be clever to have a vice chairman that comes from a swing state (Webb comes from VA and that's sturdy). i think of Obama is thinking Webb and he could.

No, he shouldn't shut up. He has the guts to say to the president that he does not trust hi with his son's lives. Are either of the Bush Girls in Iraq? didn't think so. His son is. If anyone should keep his mouth shut, it's Bush. Webb at least had the courage to serve- more then bush ever had.

As if Bush deserves some automatic respect for his asinine policies.
Three cheers for Webb.

No, he is an elected official expected to speak up for what he believes. But I think that exchange was uncalled for and even i it was it shouldn't have been news. Politicians not liking each other is not what I would call front page meterial. But Webb had the right to say what he did, he is answerable to his electorate not the president.

We thought that was a very good answer to Bush.
When we decide to shut Webb off, we will do that to him as we did to Macaca Allen. You are not jealous of Webb, are you ? No, Webb should not keep his mouth shut.

Webb is a combat hero, a soldier's soldier. Bush is an AWOL drunk who is killing American young men and women with his foolish war. Good for Webb.
