Quoted: George Bush forgives Kanye West, sort of
(AP/NBC Universal)
"I'm not a hater. I didn't hate Conway West."
-- George W. Bush on "Today," after Matt Lauer relayed a sort-of apology from Kanye West for that post-Katrina "George Bush doesn't care about black people" moment. West backtracked this week: "I didn't have the grounds to call him a racist," and that "in a situation of high emotion" he chose the wrong words. Apology appreciated, said the ex-prez -- who stumbled over the rapper's name a couple times.

If you look back on film clips of George Bush when he was around Harry Reid and President Obama or when someone crossed him, his face is contorted with hate. If you look at the inauguration of Pres O, you will see complete hate on the face of George Bush. He is a hate filled man and the stupid, poor selling book of his shows what a total hypocrite and liar he is. I just hate it when people like him yell "I love Jesus". Politicians and Jesus do not go hand in hand.

West was simply projecting. He's a wacko racist.
