President Chavez of Venezuela gives his opinion about George W. Bush whom he calls Mr. Danger. This is on his weekly program: “Alo Presidente”
Aló Presidente (English: Hello President) is a talk show hosted by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and broadcast on Venezuelan media every Sunday at 11:00 AM. Of variable format, the show broadcasts each Sunday on state-owned television and radio stations. The show features Chávez addressing topics of the day and touring locations where government social welfare programs are active. The show doesn’t have an official end time—it continues until Chavez is ready to stop, so the program often lasts about five hours. More than 320 episodes have aired. (Source: Wikipedia)
The president counts former Cuban leader Fidel Castro among his heroes, and nearly every week asks “How are you, Fidel?”
Keith Olbermann strikes Bush again, talks about 8 years of Bush in 8 minutes.
8 Years Of Bush in 8 Minutes! ~Olbermann
Olbermann made a fairly good overview of what has happened although I can’t say I agree with all he said.
Because of John Howard? And he is just staying for a day there. Blair House has 119 rooms with 35 bathrooms and just because Howard is there for one night, Obama and his family cannot move in there. This is just horrible arrangement at the Bush administration’s part. It goes to show how childish politicians can get. Obama requests to move in a week earlier into White House’s guest house so his daughters could start school. Obama is not the first president to request that and I think this could have been in consideration before the request was made.
In December, President-elect Obama asked the White House if he and his family could move into Blair House — the White House’s guest house — a week early, so that his daughters Malia and Sasha could start school. The White House rebuffed them, saying the house was already booked for another guest. A White House source added that “Blair House was appalled†by the request.
After weeks of speculation, the mystery guest that trumps the President-elect and his family has finally been revealed. The White House offered the house to John Howard, the former Prime Minister of Australia who is set to receive a Medal of Freedom. Instead of arranging other accommodations for Howard’s one-night stay, the Bush administration told the Obama family to stay in a hotel for two weeks. (Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Colombian President Ãlvaro Uribe, who are also receiving the Medal of Freedom, opted to find other accommodations.)
Last night on MSNBC’s “Countdown,†Bloomberg journalist Margaret Carlson revealed that when the White House turned down Obama’s request in early December, it had not yet even invited Howard to stay at the Blair House:
I reported…on December 11 and 12 that there were no foreign dignitaries booked into Blair House during that period of time. … I have the feeling they asked him [Howard] to come and stay so that there might be some plausible reason for not letting the Obamas stay there.
She also pointed out that Blair House has “119 rooms with 35 bathrooms. Howard wouldn’t even have to share a sink with the Obamas.” (Source: ThinkProgress)

Bush: Iraq war is not over, more work ahead
BAGHDAD – On an Iraq trip shrouded in secrecy and marred by dissent, President George W. Bush on Sunday hailed progress in the war that defines his presidency and got a size-10 reminder of his unpopularity when a man hurled two shoes at him during a news conference.
“This is a farewell kiss, you dog!” shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.
Bush ducked both shoes as they whizzed past his head and landed with a thud against the wall behind him.
“It was a size 10,” Bush joked later. (Source: Yahoo)
At least he doesn’t seem drunk this time.
