MSNBC hosts tout Scott McClellans book as a talisment of Bush incompetence,cronyism and corruption.To fully flesh out the corruption of big oil,texans and Bush one must also read Barr McClellans book.Scott's daddy shows how LBJ's 48 election theft was a blue print for 2000,a staple of Texas elections,the relationship of big oil,money and a desire for a southerner in the WH was fuelled by cash paid to segregationists[ie Russell of Ga.] through Johnson to attain the goal.That a meeting was held on 11/21/63,attended by Murchison and Hunt,to finalize assasination plans,then compare that to this days revalation that the Bush administration undercut American interests in Iraq in pushing an oil deal for the Hunt's over American interests.McClellans story dovetails closely the the more extensive,but more timid,work of Caro on the same subject. Kramer in 'Whatever It Takes' sets forth how HW Bush embraced the Right Wing of Texas in the 60's to further his own political goals.McClellans work is allegedly from first hand information,admissions by participants,and the matching of a critical,yet heretofore unidentified,fingerprint found on the sixth floor of the Book Deposatory.
If you are as courageous as you profess then fleshing out this story,and establishing it's truth or falsity,is a critical endeavor

Bush sent McCain to Columbia because he knew about the hostages being freed. This was just an opportunity to have McCain around a photo op and appear to have something to do with their freedom. That's my opinion anyway. The job loss stories have caused the hostage story to take a backseat. Oh, well, looks like all the republican wrangling is getting all tied up!

So McCain plans to come out with his 'jobs first', campaign message, ay?

Since when, and for whom? Thus far, his message in Ohio, and Michigan has been, get over it. Your jobs are not coming back, and I have no vision as to how to provide employment oppourtunities to replace them.

Just two months ago he took part in a panel discussion, and can be viewed espousing his belief that Americans are better off than they were 7.5 years ago.

What changed? He's down in the polls, and has ramped up his predilection for pandering.

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:30:30 GMT

McCain praised Jeb Bush as an expert in education? Um, well, okay. Has Jeb Bush ever been a teacher?

I can buy off on the idea the wrong son rose to the presidency. I can buy off on the notion that Bush hasn't been a bad governor in Florida.

I can even buy the sentiment that, as governors go, he may be stronger than most on education issues. That doesn't equate to expertise.

Even education administration probably isn't an expertise of his, seeing as that's done by local school boards, in cooperation with county supervisors or whatever local leaders are called in respective school districts.

Willis TX:

Well, this will probably fall of deaf and dumb ears, but just being accepted at any military academy means that you are the cream of the crop going in.

That you finish the academy successfully when not all who enter do so, you are still elite.

Class rank or graduation has nothing to do with innate intelligence, just ask Bill Gates. In McCain's case it had more to do with excelling at what interested him and dissing what didn't.

I'll bet he could have put your last sentence together better than you did.

I sure hope that the MSM sees that photo op with McCain and Lieberman in Colombia as pure theater! They were told ahead of time to go by Charlie Black and the other McCain campaign workers whose daytime job it is to lobby for the Colombian government. McCain and Lieberman should be ashamed of themselves for that grandstanding about how much the Colombian government trusted them to brief them, blah, blah, blah! It wouldn't surprise me if McCain arranges (with Hollywood special effects of course!) for Mary herself to appear at the Basilica while they are there. GOOD LORD!

Steve Steffens, Golden, CO — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:11:18 GMT

So Jeb Bush is an education expert, huh? I was surprised to see that! Remember the other brother, Neil Bush. Is he still selling educational videos and programs?

Perhaps McCain's visit with Jeb is to get him on board with reaping rewards from No Child Left Behind. NCLB was/is, as I understand it, an unfunded mandate with questionable objectives, methods, and results. Follow the money...... can we assume that "unfunded mandate" is a surrogate term for "investment opportunity" for the Bush League? Let's watch programs a little closer when they have glorious press and support but a less than apparent foundation for funding.

Back to the question, then. What credentials do Jeb and Neil have as eduction experts? And why is McCain in another country on the eve of our celebration of the Founder's vision of liberty, freedom, and justice?

All you Obama camp bloggers, I said it in the "perils of dismissing McCains military service" article And I will say it again here: It takes more brains to get through the Naval Academy then sum preppy Ivy league Law school that won't let it's students flunk out for reputation purposes. Yes, Harvard has many support systems to prevent it's student from failing because that would be bad for the school's reputation! Even if McCain did graduate at the bottom of his class. Obama is too much of a panzy to take one half of what Annapolis has to dish out!

We lost 60K plus jobs in June, 438K since January 1st Bush has had us bending over for all free trade and taking it BOHICA style while other countries reap the benefit of taking profits and jobs from us. And where is McCain? In Canada and Mexico and Columbia. How can someone who is supposedly so smart on the economy as he recently said in a major flipflop, be so tone deaf and plain ignorant of American workers' needs? We're losing jobs HERE, not in Mexico. He is another Bush...plain and simple and beholden to corporations who need the status quo as it is to stay the way it is on trade.

McBush got a temper issue and doesn't have a clue about the economy!! For someone who's been in Washington for 30 years!! McBush is out of touch with the American people.

"Would Americans really vote for the two dumbest presidents ever?"

Only if the rest of us stay home. We need to vote and we need to share facts with other people and we need to give money to finance the campaign of the guy who actually likes Americans. McBush believe in trillions for Baghdad/Tehran/"Many more wars, my friends", but not one red cent for Americans. If you'd like to see Americans with jobs again, with education, with healthcare, then register somebody to vote, keep informed and share what you learn and donate. There's a lot of work to do and we're the ones to do it. This is no time in American history to sit back and just watch what happens. Make some history. Today.

What is the point of visiting the Basilica de Guadalupe? Why would a presidential candidate, member of the anglican church, would pick to visit the Basilica on a trip to Mexico? Aren't there better choices, like the National Museum of Anthropology and History or any other sites of historical value? It is clear that he wanted to take his picture with the Virgen de Guadalupe to use it as a way to get the votes of those US citizens with a latinamerican background. Guess what! This action is going to backfire. It is the most hypocritical action taken by McCain. In top of this visit, he declared will continue to build a wall in the border!! Bravo Mr McCain! You just gave your votes to Obama! Viva Obama!!

It is not Columbia, that is the university in New York. It is "Colombia". By the way being intelligent does not mean you could be a great leader or know how to govern your country. I came to know great university professors that were extremely intelligent but couldn't teach the subject well in class.

Mexicans (NOT "Hispanics" which derives from Hispania, the Roman province that became Iberia, and later, Spain and Portugal, and ignores the indiginous roots of the Mexican people) go to the Basilica of Guadalupe to pray for a miracle, often when all seems lost. We shall see if the Virgin listens to Mr. McCain.

I agree with the posts above. When I heard about the hostages being released yesterday, the first thing I thought was how strange it was that John McCain just happened to be in Columbia. Of course this was the perfect opportuniity to show John McCain in the middle as though he had anything to do with it, or maybe it was to give the appearance that George Bush (and the GOP) had accomplished something before his term ends. It's all rather suspicious.

Trevor Ten Brink, Brooklyn, NY — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:58:41 GMT

As a native of Florida and having lived there while Jeb Bush was governor, the fact that McCain thinks that the former governor is an expert on education shows us how delusional (read: senile) McCain may be. Jeb Bush ruined the education system in Florida. Teachers no longer teach a curriculum, they teach a test, the FCAT. The keeps Florida ranked consistently within the bottom ten states in education.
