This picture says it all, doesn’t it? The difference between Bush and Obama made clear. And while I have serious political issues with George W. Bush (actually, the entire Bush family), I think he’s an inherently decent man, and this pic illustrates that strength of Bush’s and the complete void of decency in Obama. Check out the look on the Jerk’s face, he’s deeply uncomfortable, as though he’d rather be somewhere else.

You see, for a MalNar (Malignant Narcissist) they have no idea how to engage other people (and they certainly have no interest in doing so) when it can’t be turned around into something about them. Obama has nothing to give anyone, his primary concern is himself. Bush, on the other hand, well, he appreciates and understands that young woman and her sacrifice. In this picture there is only one president, and it’s not Obama. Gateway Pundit notes Bush invited his friend, wounded warrior Melissa Stockwell, to say the Pledge of Allegiance at his library dedication this past week.

GIVE HONOR – First Lieutenant Melissa Stockwell led the pledge of allegiance at the Dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center on April 25, 2013.

    Maybe the DB could have lifted his shirt to show them an appendectomy scar?
    Or maybe he could have shared with this young woman how he too was wounded, during a basketball game. Remember, he got “elbowed” last year in a pick-up game!

    Tam you have the cucumber in chief nailed. He would just as soon have no one else living on earth except the ones who think he is the Lord and Savior. Everyone else can be turned to dust for all he cares.

  3. Dave says:

    Bush knows how to treat a heroic woman. BO is totally befuddled.

  4. kwilder says:

    For a split second I felt sorry for the DB (Malnar-in-chief). It would have been longer if I didn’t have complete contempt for the loser.

  5. IslandLibertarian says:

    A photograph is just a moment in time capturing intended or unintended body language. I can’t see what Obama did 5 seconds after this shot was taken, so I won’t judge him from this photo. But, it is how he treated Paul Ryan, how he argued for the withholding of medical care for infants surviving botched abortions, how he continues his Rock-Star lifestyle while African Americans have a 13% unemployment rate, how he stands with and asks God’s blessing on Planned Parenthood while forcing others with conflicting religious and moral beliefs to OBEY his healthcare laws. He is more than a “MalNar”. He is evil. And he is destroying America.

      The darkness of his dead soul is apparent for all to see. 🙁

    • trevy says:

      ….and when he was speaking to the SEALS who shot Osama Bin Ladin it was all about MEMEMEMEME! And talking about a “Corpse Man” at that Corpsmans funeral. And not saluting our flag when the National Anthem was played. And closing the White House to tours but having his parties. And……

  6. ancientwrrior says:

    That young lady Melissa stands taller than the DB will ever stand. Her inner light shines so brightly for all to see: the darkness that is Obama simply cannot stand it. Stand tall little warrior. 🙂

  7. KCBob4Tam says:

    He almost looks photoshopped like he was a million miles away. What a freaking dumbass.

  8. rosebud2186 says:

    I’ll tell my fellow TAMs this: Now that I’ve got skin in the game I am keenly aware of how much disdain the Preezy has for our troops….if I were a gold star mom I would shun any attempt or interference on his part. How shameful. GW had and has genuine compassion for our troops.

  9. Kitten says:

    OBummer looks like a robot that is disengaged. He’s saying, “Can-not-relate, can-not-relate, what-is-this-human-display-of-affection, does-not-compute”. Geesh.

  10. midget says:

    He looks like hes got the world on his shoulders but I dont think hes burdened by it because he has no guilt. He inflicts that on President Bush and the America that is patriotic.

  11. 1ntbtn says:

    He is totally repulsive. One would think, he would at least smile back at such a beautiful young girl who sacrificed her leg for our freedom.

  12. Alain41 says:

    Clearly, the real him. Brings to mind how Obama at all those fundraisers in private homes gives a speech, and then leaves before the meal and small talk/interaction. This time, he couldn’t walk out.

  13. LucyLadley says:

    Tammy, what a POWERFUL photo!!!! The thing that strikes me the most is the Absolutely Beautiful Spirit that Glows from the face of First Lieutenant Melissa Stockwell. She looks truly honored to be in the presence of both Presidents. The look on her face strikes me with awe & gratitude for her Patriotism.

  14. MaryVal says:

    That young woman lights up the photo, lights up the room. Look at the joy in her face. Obama has NO idea what that emotion is. There’s no response to it all. How could you NOT smile back at this lovely woman? Bush recognizes it, he shows tenderness – he loves our soldiers, sailors, Marines, all our military, and most especially those who have been wounded. Obama despises our military, in a cold and distant theoretical way. I love the prosthetic leg! OMG this girl is fabulous. And Obama cannot respond. The man is truly damaged.

  15. Mary says:

    I watched some of Pres. Bush’s ceremony, there was a part when the US Army Choir was singing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. The Presidents and First Lady’s where seated directly in front of the Choir. As I listened, I got chills, it was absolutely beautiful!

    George & Laura where nodding along with the song, singing a bit. The Clintons were turned looking back in at the Choir showing respect and then there was the DB!

    Obama had his arm around the back of Barbara Bush’s chair, leaning over and talking and laughing at Barbara Bush almost the entire song. I took notice since he showed…once again….NO RESPECT to the military or this country! I later saw a close-up photo of this, Barbara had a sour frown on her face and Obama had one of his “I am one of the funniest Presidents ever” laughing faces going on.

    This guy just disgusts me!

  16. Di Grace says:

    I was nonplussed when I saw this photo. At first I thought that it had to be photo-shopped, that it couldn’t be real. Obama doesn’t have the decency even for a moment, to set aside his contempt for this country to honor a wounded warrior. I switched my focus to President Bush who shows his solidarity and patriotism. The young woman is obviously pleased.

  17. Dr. H says:

    Obama: What’s going on?
    President Bush: Something you wouldn’t recognize. It’s called “love”.

    Damn Right Tammy, Damn Right.

    Amen

    What does it take to get his motor running?

    The dumb moronic bastard is probably disgusted at the red, white and blue also. Marxist freak.

    Speaking of Presidential sucession, it’s not going well in Venezuela following Chavez’ death. http://www.dw.de/brawl-in-venezuela-parliament-highlights-post-election-tension/a-16782852

    “Fistfights have broken out in the Venezuela parliament, leaving one lawmaker bloodied and bruised….Venezuelan parliamentarians came to blows when protesting a measure from the government-controlled National Assembly to block the opposition’s right to speak until they recognized President Nicolas Maduro’s recent election victory. The opposition said they were attacked and injured by members of the ruling socialist party, while government legislators blamed their “fascist” rivals for instigating the violence….Former colonial ruler Spain has offered to serve as mediator between the government and opposition, but Maduro shot down the move with a strongly-worded rejection to Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo. “Mr. Foreign Minister, get your snout out of Venezuela … Just get out of here, you impertinent Spanish foreign minister,” he said. “Respect Venezuela.” “

    And in other Presidenting news; Slovenia has its first woman Prime Minister. I like that (so far) she is saying that Slovenia needs to fix its own financial situation and not look to the EU.
    http://www.dw.de/alenka-bratusek-we-can-solve-our-own-problems/a-16784938

    “…Alenka Bratusek is Slovenia’s first female head of state. For weeks, her country, a member of the eurozone, has been labeled the “next Cyprus.” Just six weeks ago, her center-left Positive Slovenia Party replaced the conservative party by a narrow a margin….

    [Interviewer ->] Wouldn’t it be easier to ask for help from the EU, IMF and ECB?

    ‘No. I’m sure that we can demonstrate to Europe and to financial markets that we can solve our own problems ourselves. I’m convinced that that’s the better path for everyone – for our people and for the economy. It’s better to take that path on our own, without the EU Troika.’ “
