Obama Congratulates Bono For Rejecting Hug From Bush – Video Added

Politico:

The Irish Voice press reports that Bono dodged an embrace from President Bush — and was congratulated on it by his successor:

On a BBC program last night, the superstar U2 singer recalled how he he stiffed President Bush out of the photo op in 2006 at the National Prayer Breakfast. The former President was on the stage with Bush when “Dubya” tried to hug Bono.

“There were all kinds of people in the audience,” Bono recalled on Jonathan Ross’ talk show.

Bono admitted he didn’t feel like being the recipient of a hug from a man with whom he had so many political disagreements. As the affectionate President neared, Bono tried to “dodge the hug” by jumping behind a podium.

The sidestep worked, and just about nobody in the audience knew it happened — though it was all captured on camera.

But — there was one sharp-eyed Senator in the bipartisan crowd who saw it all.

“When I was sitting down I was beside Sen. Obama, the star said the future President whispered to him, ‘Nice work with the hug dodge.’”

    The Battle Begins: ATF vs the Constitution

    http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/07/18/the-battle-begins-atf-vs-the-constitution/

    U.S. Department of Justice
    Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
    Firearms and Explosives
    Assistant Director
    OPEN LETTER TO ALL TENNESSEE
    FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEES

    The purpose of this letter is to provide guidance on your obligations as a Federal firearms licensee (”FFL”). The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (”ATF”) is dedicated to your success in meeting your requirements as a Federal firearms licensee. The following guidance is intended to assist you in accomplishing this goal.

    The passage of the Tennessee Firearms Freedom Act, H.B. 1796, 106th Leg. (Tenn. 2009) 1796 (”Act”), effective June 19, 2009, has generated questions from industry members as to how this State law may affect them while engaged in a firearms business activity. The Act purports to exempt personal firearms, firearms accessories, and ammunition manufactured in the State, and which remain in the State, from most Federal firearms laws and regulations. However, because the Act conflicts with Federal firearms laws and regulations, Federal law supersedes the Act, and all provisions of the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act, and their corresponding regulations, continue to apply.

    As you may know, Federal law requires a license to engage in the business of manufacturing firearms or ammunition, or to deal in firearms, even if the firearms or ammunition remain within the same state. All firearms manufactured by a licensee must be properly marked. Additionally, each licensee must record the type, model, caliber or gauge, and serial number of each firearm manufactured or otherwise acquired, and the date such manufacture or other acquisition was made. The information required must be recorded in the licensee’s records not later than the seventh day following the date such manufacture or other acquisition was made. Firearms transaction records and NICS background checks must be conducted prior to disposition of firearms to unlicensed persons. These, as well as other Federal requirements and prohibitions, apply whether or not the firearms or ammunition have crossed state lines.

    If you have any questions regarding the Federal firearms laws and regulations, please contact your local ATF office. ATF works closely with the firearms industry and appreciates the important role the industry plays in combating violent crime. A listing of ATF office phone numbers can be found at http://www.atf.gov/contact/field.htm. Carson W. Carroll, Assistant Director (Enforcement Programs and Services)”

      The States will find no sympathy at the SCOTUS for their attempts either.
      Why do you suppose State legislators aspire to the Federal Congress? Power.
      The US Constitution is the Supreme ‘Law of the Land’.

    All I need to know about Bono, I learned from South Park. He’s a walking talking turd.

  • Knighthawk

    Look who’s talking. His country has been F-Up for the past 60 years. And he wants to point fingers at the USA. Screw him that old ball sack

    • Sully

    Obama must be looking foward to seeing Bono again.
    Who needs Lewinsky when you have Bono.

  • AMartinez

    Singers and Movie Stars carry more weight with the American people, what a sad country we’ve become. Cain’t wait until the shit hits the fan, maybe Conservatives will awake from their stupor. Hope it’s not too late!

    • solomonpal

      I know where your coming from. The big wake up and watching these fucktards roll over and die like flies.

  • http://615songs.com James Hooker, Nipple Whisper

    I had lunch with GW and Bertie Ahern, Bono´s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland. I dressed up, out of respect, like a GQ cover-shot in honor of the occasion. Look at the picture above of this UN bootlicker,in MY Oval Office, with MY President! He looks like he just returned from a gypsy butt fucking.
    .
    Nuff said, with the exception that I am a singer too, and I fully approve this message.

  • John454

    I guess they doesn’t remember all the charity work Bush has done for Africa and other places.

  • Cold Dead Hands

    Bush always bent over backwards to please his adversaries, and they never offered him once speck of gratitude or respect. May Bono rot in hell. And may conservative, patriotic Americans resolve to crush the opposition, not embrace them. Lock and load. Let’s roll.

  • Scoot

    Bono isn’t even an American citizen. Why should politicians care what the basturd says or does??? Bono is just an UN spy anyway.

  • Tom in CO

    How many starvin’ children have been saved thanks to you, Bono?

    Compare that to how many lives Bush has saved in Iraq and Afghanistan against the dictators you probably had wet dreams of.

  • http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com JWF

    Preening, narcissistic douchebag.

    STFU, Bono. Nobody gives a shit what you’ve got to say.

  • frank

    Thats where conservatives have gone wrong, Bush tried to accomadate the left and look what it got him. liberals have become bullies,if you don’t agree with them they will use the media to destroy you.. And lets face it the media can destroy anyone they choose,except the muslims who they appear to have an alliance with.

  • GRIZZ

    Bozo,if you can find al bores cock,stuff it in your mouth and STFU…”on your knees boy” tadatadatada.

  • JayMS

    Fuck You, Bono. Eat shit and die, you pompous asshole.

    Bush has done far more for Africa then all the self-righteous liberals combined, including their queen Bono. How much money has Obama put into AIDS prevention for Africa so far?

    And to think I actually defeneded this sanctimonious asshole and beleived him when he said that he cared more about helping Africa then political party. Bush gave this asshole time to listen to his spiel about helping Africa and ponied up shitloads of money, way the fuck more than any previous democrat. Then only to have this self-righteous asshole piss on him when he reaches out in kindness just to make some worthless horseshit statement for the benefit of his fellow limosine socialist pals.

    Bono is a piece of shit and I hope he fucking dies real soon. :evil: Normally I don’t care about these asshats but this one pissed me off. Neither Bono or Obama are fit to lick the dogshit off the soles of Bush’s shoes let alone stand in criticism of him.

  • deathstar

    :arrow: Grizz

    [Bozo,if you can find al bores cock,stuff it in your mouth and STFU…”on your knees boy” tadatadatada.]

    :mrgreen:

    A plus.

  • Mark Gibbons

    Hey bono- fuck you you fuckin fuck it must suck to sing like you. The next time you leave the U.S.A. make it your last time here you overrated piece of dog shit. Go away please. Sometime someday you will get what is comming to you. A creep like you is a walking bullseye. Lets make these leftist girly men get the hell out of here.

  • TerryTate

    He did admit to being a coward for dodging the hug.

    He admitted that Bush did a lot for many great causes, yet they can’t get over the other stuff and try to act cool, even when they know they blew it.

    Nothing tells you more than someones own personal critique.
