Those Obamas sure seem to like it when people from foreign countries say insulting things about Americans in the highest houses of our government.
Sir Paul would be the latest.
Too bad the cameras weren’t on the Obama’s after that Bush attack. You know they were chuckling along with all the other radicals at the party.
It turns out that the ignorant one was Paul McCartney.
Laura Bush is a librarian. She and her husband made a mini-cause of supporting literacy and public libraries both in Texas and in Washington DC.
Charles Lane at the WaPo’s Post Partisan Blog reported:
There are many things of which Bush may be fairly accused. It would be boring to list them all. My point here, however, is that those who smugly deride his ostensible ignorance often inadvertently demonstrate their own.
And so it was with McCartney’s obnoxious crack, which was not only nasty, and totally inappropriate to the occasion, but also perfectly uninformed. Bush’s wife Laura is a librarian. She and her husband made a mini-cause of supporting literacy and public libraries, both when he was governor of Texas and when he was president.
The Bush administration oversaw creation of a federal grant program to train a new generation of librarians. It’s called the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and it has awarded $130 million to date. During Bush’s presidency, federal funding for public libraries grew from $163.2 million per year to $212.2 million per year – a 30 percent increase.
In mocking the boorishness of a former U.S. president, Sir Paul, and those who roared at his remark, unfortunately demonstrated their own.

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know

But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right

Ah

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution

You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right

I just lost a lot of respect for Paul McCartney.
I wonder how long it will be before he starts complaining about the various people that will show him and tell him what they think of his new found political side?
Gammy Sparkles commented:
Well too sad and too expected. We love the Beatles music, but probably do not love many of their political views! That has been demonstrated over and over! I do find that Paul has made a bit of a Poo Poo about this issue. That man, he mocks, helped keep his arse’ and many others safe for quite a few years, and it has taken the current bunch only 18 months to undo “God Knows” how much of that safety net with their “Yellow Submarine” attitudes – or is it “Strawberry Fields” forever attitudes!

Why is McCartney here in the US, is he looking for US citizenship? He wants obama to sign his greencard?
They all want to be Americans but they hate America so much. It confuses me.
I always thought getting a knighthood meant you where held to a higher standard. That you had to behave in public. It’s good to insult “President Bush” behind his back when he’s not around. Quite cowardly for a proud “brit”.
I wonder what seinfield was doing at the whitehouse? they let anyone inside the whitehouse nowadays.
Randy Merritt commented:
It breaks my heart to think that my love for Beatles music is now tainted by his ignorant, snide comment. I wish I could toss my CDs back at his stupid face. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m glad John’s not around because I’m sure he’d be just as big of an a**hole.
brooklyn commented:
Democrats are lost in ugly hatred – it is pure Partisan bigotry – growing with their endless failure.
After the Carter Malaise, the Clinton Malfeasance, the Democrats grew in juvenile sophistry, deeply corrupted by their own insecurity.
They cannot help themselves, pushing a mindless, ugly, fashion via popular culture.
What takes the cake, is reading the “boorish” Charles Lane, who sounds like just as big of a pathetic Partisan in this offering.
The painful reality for these losers, is GW Bush was a class act, who led the World to Liberate Millions in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. GW Bush even put together an historic relief of the growing AIDS Epidemic in Africa.
The ignorant fashion peddled by childish Democrats has filtered overseas – deeply impacting public views in Europa and the rest of the World. It is sad, but a regretful reality.
And the Democrats only have liars like Bill Clinton to cling to, who made it his policy to hide the horrific Rwandan Genocide.
Obama is making an even bigger mess, and the Democrats can only stick to their hatred.
They will grow in further denial as Obama – Pelosi – Reid sink, and we all suffer for it.
Vic commented:
Very disappointed to see and listen to McCartney sticking his uninformed and Scouser nose into American politics. As a studio musician in the 60s and 70s I worked on some McCartney projects when he was just a keen, excited musician and I congratulate him on the Gershwin award. His toadying to Obama and his ignorance of President Bush’s wonderful work with libraries took away any glory that comes with that award. I ask McCartney to remember Adam Faith and his touted ‘financial advice’ in the UK Daily Mail. That advice cost many investors millions. McCartney’s dabbling in American politics may have cost him millions of fans.

regularguy commented:
I think I’ll cut him some slack for his really stupid statement. He’s done some very kind things, too, such as the concert supporting America in the days immediately following 9-11, when even Democrats temporarily pretended allegiance to the country.
I think it’s just as simple an explanation as dots that don’t quite get connected in the liberal mind, further addled by too much pot smoking (remember he’s been kicked out of countries such as Japan for possessing pot). His causes, too, such as banning mines are based on a lot of ill-informed ideas.
But he is, arguably, a musical genius and isn’t a real big jerk compared to many in the business. Or, at least, there are plenty of bigger jerks out there who say far more stupid, dangerous, and hurtful things.
Even so, just shut up and play, Paul, we don’t need your opinion on plenty of things about which you have no clue.
Harrison commented:

Chris Vehr commented:
Since McCartney was so compelled to make an insulting comment about a former president, it would have been helpful if he gave a few examples to back it up. Just another cheap shot from someone who happens to be standing in front of a microphone.
It would be refreshing if the current administration would have an event and NOT bash President Bush, the “past administration”, or the “last eight years”. It is particularly confusing that a guy like McCartney, who has both liberal AND conservative fans, would alienate half his base. I promise that he didn’t do much for sales by making his comments. How stupid is that? Liberals have no business sense.
The fact that President Obama is amused by McCartney’s antics shows how classless they both are. The fact that some posters on this blog defend McCartney’s comments demonstrates just how far down the toilet our society has digressed.
I wonder if Jerry Seinfeld is proud of the stance this president is taking toward Israel. Probably won’t be long and there won’t much point in talking about a country that has been obliterated, aided and abetted by Barack Hussein Obama! Our president would rather lose a loyal ally then fight alongside her. He, like all liberals, would rather appease and lose than stand strong and fight for what is right.

can’t think of anything to add to my previous post..
pardon if a repeat, McC evidently never heard of First Lady
Laura Bush.. a true LIBRARIAN in every sense of the word..
[]Washington, DC – First Lady Laura Bush hosted a White House Conference on School Libraries today featuring the latest research and model programs. “School libraries help teachers teach and children learn,” noted Mrs. Bush, a former public school teacher and librarian. “Children and teachers need library resources – especially books – and the expertise of a librarian to succeed. Books, information technology, and school librarians who are part of the schools’ professional team are basic ingredients for student achievement,” Mrs. Bush said.
Mrs. Bush and her co-host Dr. Robert Martin, a career librarian and Director of the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, were joined by education, library, government, and philanthropic leaders from across the country. The Institute of Museum and Library Services is a primary source of federal grants for the nation’s libraries and museums.
Dr. Martin said, “Mrs. Bush’s passion for reading, education and teaching is a great gift to our nation and to our nation’s children. We are delighted to have a librarian in the White House. And now we have the research to affirm what she has long known: good school libraries enhance children’s learning. Working together, equipped with the best research and examples of proven school library programs, librarians, teachers and school leaders can make a difference in student achievement.”[]
btw, who was that reading to young children on 9/11?? i’m sure you all remember, he was the one they made FUN of & bashed for a few years,
the idiots that they’ve proved themselves to be.. meantime, Michelle’s “vegetable’s” from her garden had to be imported for the cooking shows they starred in, go figure..
[]Noting that teaching reading is one of the Bush Administration’s top domestic priorities, this pamphlet introduces the Ready to Read, Ready to Learn education initiative of First Lady Laura Bush. The goals of the initiative are to ensure that all young children are ready to read and learn when they enter their first classroom, and to ensure that children have well-trained, qualified teachers, especially children whose families are impoverished. The pamphlet provides information on the initiative’s activities in the following areas: (1) highlighting successful early childhood programs with prereading and vocabulary activities such as Reach Out and Read; (2) assisting parerits and caregivers in helping their children learn, including the “Healthy Start, Grow Smart” magazine series and publications detailing prereading/reading activities for parents or prereading/reading instruction for teachers; and (3) recruiting, training, and retaining excellent teachers, including the New Teacher Project, Teach For America, Troops to Teachers, and the Transition to Teaching program. Also included in the pamphlet is information on the White House Summit on Early Childhood Cognitive Development and on the White House Conference on Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers. (Contains 21 references.)[]

I think McCartney just proved he was the inspiration for his own song “Fool on the (Capitol) Hill”. Why do entertainers have to alienate half their fan base by opening their mouths for something other than singing?
I find it amazing that this high school drop out has the nerve to come to our country and insult a former President who has degrees from both Harvard and Yale.

This is consistent with 0bama’s incessant hatred of this country by whom he chooses to surround himself with – - this one an outsider who comes TO THE White House and hurls an insult on the former president. A tasteless, classless, meaningless remark at that.

retire05 commented:
McCartney’s statement says more about this administration than it does about McCartney. Think about it; would have any performer made such comments about Bill Clinton during the Bush administration? No, and they didn’t. But somehow, McCartney felt that dumb assed statements about a former president was acceptable. He could have only understood that from the vibes he received from the Administration itself.
Obama himself has no respect for former presidents (using Bill Clinton as a gopher for job offers), the constant digs at President Bush, etc. So McCartney, being the dumb Hackney he is, just picked up on the tenor that exists in the White House.
This is what we can expect for the rest of Obama’s one, and only, term. That, and the drive to make the U.S. look like Greece.
The next president will not only have to restore America to her people, he will have to restore the respect for the Office of POTUS, something Obama seems hell bent on destroying.
Bunni commented:
I am through with “sir” paul moron mccartney.
He should stick to music (which sucks)

He takes cheap shots, I wouldn’t be surprised his “off the cuff” remarks were scripted and rehearsed by the obummer machine.
John commented:
People outside the U.S. tend to be behind the curve in getting their information about what’s in and what’s not when it comes to American political culture — they stay up to date on pop culture fairly well, but their idea of what Americans are thinking comes from the media, and in McCartney’s case most likely the BBC.
He went into that show still thinking it’s 2008 or 2009 and that the vast majority of the American public would get their jollies off his Bush remark, because everyone loves Obama, right? My guess is if not Paul, at least his publicists and his record label already have begun to get some backlash over the quip, and they’re trying to figure out in the nicest way possible to explain to their meal ticket that trashing Bush and sucking up to Obama is no longer the surefire way to ingratiate yourself with the masses on this side of the pond.

I still like Paul McCartney’s “middle act,” a.k.a Wings, one of the best bands ever.
He made an idiotic comment as most celebs surrounded by boot-licking sychopants are wont to do. Heck, if I tossed out every CD or movie made by a star that made a stupid, ignorant or bigoted comment, I wouldn’t have much left to listen to or watch. Though trashing Ditze Chick CDs felt real good.

Listen, when I was in GRADE school, I didn’t have any truck with the kids who made stupid jokes at the expense of some other kid when that kid wasn’t there.
I wouldn’t hang out with them, or remain friends with then. Often, I would check out the person they were making fun of, and almost always it turned out to be someone whose friendship was a lot more rewarding in all ways than that of the dumb kids making jokes about someone else in order to bond with their own stupid selves.
And I went to a lot of schools, too.
And you know what? My own popularity and likability never suffered a bit from it.
Now comes the day when we have a grade schooler in the White House, who encourages this sort of thing, and engages in it himself.
I just about can’t STAND these sorts of grade school antics coming from the supposed “President” and his comrades and butt-kissing hangers-on.

That’s so true. He’s part of the Liberal Left pantheon of icons that have been staples of the Left media for decades. Which is nauseating.
Of all the interesting things there are in the world and a 24/7 media, tv, radio, print, the lions share of all that time is committed to these:
Beatles
James Dean
Marilyn Monroe
John F. Kennedy
FDR/Eleanor
We are STILL all subjected to what the 1960s rich spoiled brat elites obsess with, what they approve of. Pour cold water over one’s head and THEN try to listen to the Beatles. Bubble gum songs followed by drug-daze songs, followed by preachy, snotty drivel for Left causes.
And what they approve of should be scruntinized with suspicion. Marilyn Monroe is still shoved in our faces because of … Kennedy. Her “Happy Birthday Mr. President” is a horrible embarrassment, re-run annually, loved for its slurring sleeziness by the Left, who get vicarious thrills out of watching a woman alcoholing over the edge into the pit of desparate self-abasement for the Kennedys. No other reason.

aah, but that’s a good thing..
just a sample:
Joe McCarthy Was Right
[In 1946 Hoover again went to the White House, this time providing Harry Truman with a list of known Communists and sympathizers still in the government. Truman's response was: "What am I going to do? Give those @#%&* Republicans up on the Hill something to bash me with."
McCarthy's detractors, Communists, and Soviet sympathizers never anticipated two things: One, the Venona intercepts and their subsequent release; Two, the collapse of Communism and the opening of Soviet files.]
The Hidden Truth About Joseph McCarthy
[ Herman dissents and offers up Owen Lattimore, Edward Posniak, Mary Jane Keeney, Gustavo Duran, and John Carter Vincent as among the cases in which McCarthy had things essentially right.
Among one of the first names McCarthy named was that of Mary Jane Keeney. Mrs. Keeney worked in various sensitive overseas State Department jobs during the 1940s before settling in at the United Nations. Intercepted Venona cables, as well as her own diaries, prove that Keeney and her husband were Soviet agents. In February of 1950 McCarthy understated matters by labeling this agent of a foreign power merely a Communist. By the end of that year she was forced out of her post at the United Nations. ]
List of Americans in the Venona papers
[Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Chairman of the bipartisan Commission on Government Secrecy, responsible for securing the release
of Venona project materials, in the Introduction to his book Secrecy states, "The Venona intercepts contained overwhelming proof of the activities of Soviet spy networks in America, complete with names, dates, places, and deeds." The release involved careful consideration of privacy interests of individuals mentioned, referenced, or identified in the translations. Some names have not been released when to do so would constitute an invasion of privacy. Over 200 named or covernamed persons found in the VENONA translations, persons then present in the U.S., are claimed by the KGB and the GRU in their messages as their clandestine assets or contacts.]

Paul McCartney is not a class act. This is what happens to people who believe they are above others and untouchable. Well, I’m thinking he’s lost a lot of fans because of his remark – showing your true colors in the entertainment market can mean the end to a career…..not that McCartney cares – he is loaded.
Radegunda commented:
it’s a safe bet that G. W. Bush’s reading list would dwarf Macca’s in length and depth. I have little doubt that it would stand up very well next to Obummer’s reading list too.
Recently a shop I like has been playing some of the Beatles’ “greatest hits,” and I’ve found my myself thinking, “Not that annoying tripe again!” It’s hard to see how it could have become so massively popular.
Radegunda commented:
Awhile back, Laura Ingraham had Mick Fleetwood on her show, when he had formed a new band (which I thought was lame, actually). I thought Mick showed class in going on a conservative show to talk about music.
But I cringed when Laura at one point started prodding him about “why are musicians usually leftist?” He was clearly uncomfortable with the question, and tried to direct the conversation back to music. Maybe he’s a savvy businessman who understands that a large part of his potential audience is politically conservative—or maybe it’s a more idealistic concept of music as something that actually can bring people together for a little while. Good performers like to bring enjoyment to people, and not just people who agree with them.
Scott commented:
Sir Paul just managed to insult half of our electorate who voted for President Bush! What an idiot…He should worry about what the labor party in Britain has done to his own country…Enjoy life under Sharia Paul, its on the way.
Pamela commented:
How disgraceful for McCartney to verbally attack a former president of the USA. Having the ability to write words on a napkin that can later be composed into a song does not make one an intellectual. To insinuate that former President Bush, who was the first American President to earn an MBA (from Harvard), is not familiar with a library is absurd. Not to mention that his lovely wife, Laura, was a librarian. I was in junior high school when the Beatles hit the music world but the admiration I once held for McCartney has flown out the window. In MY world, he will now be known as the ex of that repulsive Heather Mills!
Lizzy commented:
Not very gracious is he? There’s no fool like an
old fool and McCartney just made the point.
Guess when you mix Obama’s ego with Paul’s

Paul has in his whole life. Shut up and sing?
