Earlier today, former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove expressed his irrational irritation with the Obama White House on his Twitter page, writing the “Ingrates speak,” before linking to a post by Commentary Magazine’s Jennifer Rubin:

The post Rove linked to asks whether White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gives “credit to President Bush for the foresight and determination to see the surge through and deliver the results we saw this week.” The answer was “no.” Rubin then went on to lament the White House’s inability to “celebrate America’s accomplishments.”
Why isn’t KKKarl Rove in prison where he belongs? What he says is untrue…always.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:58 pmhey porky pig rove,
July 1st, 2009 at 5:59 pmexactly why should the obama administration be “grateful” to a piece of crap such as yourself? you and your cronies are only worthy of scorn and rebuke for what you did to this country.
The ingrate Tweets.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:03 pmKarl Rove, have you honored those subpoenas issued by Congress?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:10 pmYeah, right. A bum squats in our living room, craps all over the place and leaves, and then when I am cleaning up the place, calls me an “ingrate”.
These Banana RepubliKKK party folks can’t get any more ridiculous than this. Or can they?!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:12 pmRasputinRove is upset because no one is saying how wonderful a job he did keeping pin-head Georgie on track to bankrupt our country? Talk about someone who needs to get a life!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:18 pmYou did one heckuva job Karl Rove!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:22 pmExactly what “accomplishments” should we celebrate? The inability to find any weapons of mass destruction to justify a war that cannot be justified? The deaths of more than 4,000 Americans? The killing of tens of thousands of civilian Iraqis? The bankrupting of our country? Our once-excellent reputation in the world that was at its nadir (except for the election of Obama, which has raised our international standing)? The torture? Other war crimes? That stupid banner that said “mission accomplished” yet the American people never really were clear on what the “mission” was? Some accomplishments!
July 1st, 2009 at 6:23 pmI am still waiting for KKKarl RoverBoy to appear before a committee of Senatorial ingrates and, thereafter, to be sent promptly to jail where he will be bent over daily by his ingrate cell-mate.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:23 pmBetter title: The traitor tweets.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:25 pmRove twitters: Obama officials are ‘ingrates.’
– - Now Karl, there’s a great deal of personal satisfaction achieved from a job you’ve done well. It’s not Obama’s problem if you’re looking for validation from him for a job he doesn’t think you did well.
Now, run along and take some Dicktation for the Dark Lord’s memoirs.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:26 pmmy question is this:
July 1st, 2009 at 6:27 pmdoes he truly believe the delusional bullshyte he says and tweets?
if so, ole porky should be institutionalized before he hurts himself.
If that’s what they’re doing with the technology that’s available to children—why worry? They can talk to the butt.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:28 pmYeah, thank god for eight long years of torture, treason and tyranny, covered up by thousands of lies, all brought to you by the Bush crime family. Thank god for the stolen elections in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Thank god for diebold. Thank god for blackwater. Thank god for the thirteen cases of electrocution deaths of American soldiers in faulty showers built by Cheney’s company, Halliburton. Thank god for one million dead Iraqis, send to early graves by the war criminal Bush and his vile invasion and occupation of the Republic of Iraq. Thank god…
July 1st, 2009 at 6:31 pmWhat the Hell? Karl calling someone an ingrate? Isn’t this the same SOB who tagged Ann Richards a secret lesbian? Isn’t Karl the one who started the campaign against McCain in 2000 who whispered Mccain was crazy and fathered an illegimate child? Jesus! How do these people look in the mirror? He must be pshycotic.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:33 pm“Ingrates speak”……yes,yes KKKRove we know your ungrateful and you lack penury knowledge.
Besides writing lying articles for the WSJ, what does this unemployed jackal do for a living?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:34 pmWell I agree Karl ,
July 1st, 2009 at 6:35 pmas a progressive I helped put Mr Obama in the white house and now have to watch him argue for expanded presidential powers and indefinite detention , while attempting to give a free pass to the severe and numerous violations of the rule of law made by Bush over the last 8 years .

July 1st, 2009 at 6:36 pmJust because a democrat defends the indefensible doesn’t mean thing are better . A speech about indefinite detention in front of the actual constitution seems disingenuous…. no ?
July 1st, 2009 at 6:44 pmAn Iraqi withdrawal ? I don’t think so .
Signing statements , posse comitatus, habeas corpus and indefinite detention , domestic spying ,the state secret privilege to name a few are still with us and are swept under the rug while being left in place .
At least Bush championed these atrocities in the light of day whereas this administration says one thing while doing the other .
July 1st, 2009 at 6:48 pmVery transparently .
Why is Karl still relevant? Isn’t he a has been? Wasn’t he dead wrong in 2006 with his so-called secret polling that suggested the Repugs will be able to hold on to the House and Senate? Well, I guess if faux news is willing to keep him on as a ‘politcal adviser’ that’s their bag. Quite frankly, I wish the ‘Turd Blossom’ would fade away.
July 1st, 2009 at 6:49 pmI find myself feeling the he’s just a hell of a chess player defense wearing a bit thin !
July 1st, 2009 at 6:49 pmCredit to Bush for foresight and determination ??? Seriously?
Prior to the invasion Rummy was warned by the generals they needed a minimum of 500,000 troops.
Cheney and Rumsfield refused to listen and six years later Obama is still dealing with their stuff-up.
When did Rove ever thank Bill Clinton for eight years of peace and a budget surplus ?

Karl Rove is a still a free man when he should at least have been arrested for Contempt of Congress.
He should be thankful that the majority of Bush administration officials (including himself) are being given a free pass on their blatant abuse of power and simple illegal actions (the Hatch Act for instance–let alone torture.
Rove should be sending booze, coke and hookers to the Obama administration in gratitude for their forward-looking, non-finger-pointing bipartisan non-transparency Barney the Dinosaur political philosophy, that is letting Rove Bush Cheney et al get away with mass-murder, treason, fraud and daylight robbery.
As usual RepibliCons think words with globally accepted meanings actually mean something else—”irony” means a warm pressed shirt, I guess, and “hypocrisy” is a doctor’s oath of humanitarian service.
Oh, and President Obama? MAYBE you are playing what you deem a necessarily subtle game in the corridors of power and can;t afford to telegraph every ultimate intent to set things right, but not everyone voted for you because you were the ‘best’ but because you were “the least worst” and I for one as one of your willing supporters am nonetheless getting pretty ticked-off by some of your actions.
IMHO you are progressively alienating a broad spectrum of those who voted for you or voted simply against McCain/Palin, and with a much more aware and connected electorate than ever before, you could fall as quickly as you rose-up. I think a lot of people want to see broad progress, not just issue-specific advancements here and status quo decisions there.
Listen to the public, Obama , not the politics, and get off your arse–otherwise you’ll be on your arse in 2012, and this country will really go in the $hitter.

and now indefinite detention without charges or a right to refute those charges in court .
republicans hate facts Says @ 25: He is *NOT* going to satisfy a progressive, but he’s no George Bush.
I was with you and I am with you there, RHF.
BTW to all I should clarify this comment of mine (addressed nebulously to P{resident Obama) “otherwise you’ll be on your arse in 2012, and this country will really go in the $hitter.” By which I mean;
I think Obama risks disappointing enough members from all the socio-political demographic that gathered to get him elected in the first place. As we all should know by know, “turn-off” wins elections just as much as “turn-out”.
The Gays are ticked about gay marriage and DADT
The Hispanics are still scapegoated and there’s not a squeak on immigration reform.
EVERYONE (except the right-wing nut-jobs and Insurance) wants a National Health Service/Public Option, but the White House and the Dems are waffling on that!
Progressives (I guess) want to see some accountability for past sins.
Indeed surely the majority cares about more than ONE issue, and the majority of issues overlap in people’s lives, but the Obama administration has begun to parse these issues with little explanation and in the process they risk parsing public goodwill in particular and in general. Obama only has to lose the margin by which he won and the default winner then will be the GOP. And even if Obama does get a second term, he may have lost enough support that all his schemes he’s put off and kept secret will be so compromised as to be utterly useless.
I;m not threatening Obama, I’m warning him, simply from my perspective and the few people I know.

spot on. attacking people on the same team (as some posters here do on a regular basis) does not change the fact that if the obama administration does not deliver, you will have another 8 years of the GOP. that would be a nightmare.

July 1st, 2009 at 7:55 pmHow come Karl Rove doesn’t mention how the surge was really al-Sadr agreeing to stop killing in exchange for money?
July 1st, 2009 at 8:08 pmLet me see if I have this right. Bush goes into Iraq and makes a mess. Six years later Bush finally does the right thing and should be given credit for doing a good job. The logic of this escapes me.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:21 pmKKKarl,
Step out of the closet and take a deep breath…bring GW Botch with you…nobody is going to hurt you or Botch for living in a closet all of your lives…

July 1st, 2009 at 8:38 pm“America’s accomplishments” -Rove
July 1st, 2009 at 8:52 pmOmigod– killing 100s of thousands of Iraqis, & 4000+ Americans is now an accomplishment? In a war that was a huge lie? In an invasion of a country that had done NOTHING against the U.S.? Rove calls this an “accomplishment”?
Rove is an evil, corrupt, dishonest, lying accomplice to murder, and he expects us to thank him. Disgusting.
Karl should be careful who he chooses to call ingrates, for it is those very same ingrates that have chosen not to prosecute him.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:53 pmEveryone knows that Karl Rove actually has no crediablity. He is a Mr. Potatohead and he is underhanded cheated his way to W. Presidency… I don’t trust this little troll like creature and that is an insult to the trolls.
So he is calling Obama WH administration ingrates
July 1st, 2009 at 9:10 pmI’m not threatening Obama, I’m warning him, simply from my perspective and the few people I know.
5th, I’m right there with you. Not threatening per se, but the reality is that President Obama needs to wake up and realize that his biggest lobbyist contributors were and are We the People who raised over $600 million for his election based on his platform and campaign promises.
BigInsurance and BigPharma aren’t going to be there to make up the dollars he won’t get for his re-election bid if he doesn’t follow through on his promises. Enough with the happy talk bipartisan bullshit! They don’t want to cooperate so freeze them out. They’re going to blame Obama for every problem imaginable anyway, so why bother to include them in crafting “solutions” that aren’t?
PEACE
July 1st, 2009 at 9:26 pmSo by Rove’s definition of gratitude, if I pushed him off a cliff and then called an ambulance, he’d have to thank me for calling the ambulance?

I’m guessing you are alluding to ‘RHF” as well as in general terms?
I’m more familiar with RHF as a commenter than you, so I’d be more inclined to share his antipathy towards you in the current spat you are having (and your clever moniker doesn’t
help, but it is genuinely clever word-play).
It is possible, after this heavily troll-infested week ( and other frustrations) that you and RHF have juist collided at a bad time—you might have more in common than you think (but I don’t say that as an ‘expert’ by any means–RHF and I have no mutual relationship here at TP).
You write: “if the obama administration does not deliver, you will have another 8 years of the GOP. that would be a nightmare.”
If RHF agrees with my comment, and as you obviously agree with my comment, then we all agree on at least one point. Disagreements may then arise as to the degree of expectations and the subject matter and level of argument.
You both may have gotten off on the wrong foot by accident—these things happen. Let it go, and express yourself on the issues rather than on immediate responses, and everything will sort itself out and be a lot more productive.
Oh and if you are reading this RepulciansHateFacts, don’t mind me, I don’t claim to speak for you, I’m just butting-in for a moment, as one quite well established TP regular to another. Cheers!
July 1st, 2009 at 9:31 pmYes, those ingratious Obama officials. How dare they not like an economy in crisis, two wars, a bank industry bailout, an auto bailout, health care in crisis, energy crisis and many other cultural issues untouched! I mean the nerve of them!

Karl Rove’s been weighing in a lot about Obama et al since Dems got back the White House. It can only mean one thing: He’s effing scared about something. The man doesn’t do anything just for the hell of it. That’s why he mostly stayed in the shadows _ like Good ‘ol DICK _ for so many years, but now something’s got him spooked and it ain’t any concern for the US of A because he ain’t no damn patriot. Wonder what it could be?

First, you come on over here, and I kick you square in the nutsack with my pointy-toed Tony Lama’s. Then, you gasp out how wonderfully, awesomely GRATEFUL you are to me for kicking you in said nutsack.
What??? What’s that you say? You WOULDN’T BE GRATEFUL?!?!?!? For that awesome kick in the nuts?? What???
You INGRATE!!!
See how that works, KKKarly?
July 1st, 2009 at 10:43 pmIf Bush wants the credit he deserves, all he has to do is visit the Hague.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 amI would offer this as my opinion. Rove is not scared about any criminal prosecutions for himself. However, he is concerned that if Bush and Cheney are investigated, the past administration is going to get buried in the history books as authorizing torture and nothing else. Consider how kind history has not been to Nixon. His legacy is Watergate. Likewise Bush and Cheney will suffer the same fate if Congress has hearings. Any people in the Bush administration trying to capitalize on their service by writing books and getting lobbying jobs will get buried. If that happens Rove gets the blame by people in and out of the administration. Hence, Rove and Cheney are out their trying very hard to write the Bush legacy before the shite hits the fan.

He hasn’t used his nutsack for years.
I loathe the figure-eight-head clown.
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:05 amI’m a Republican and I love facts! The fact is ALL POLITICIANS LIE! It’s what they do, they never swear to tell the truth, that wouldn’t get them elected. They say what they think all the lemmings want to hear. The fact is the truth hurts and most people in this country are afraid of a little painful truth. So, either grow a pair and prepare for some pain, or shut the hell up!!
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:22 amNext, about the Bush administration bankrupting this country. Fact, The Obama administration has put this country in more debt in the few months he’s been in office than the Bush administration did in their entire eight years in office!!
Next, the torture issue. Most, if not all, other countries in this world would consider ‘waterboarding’ a joke, a squirt gun fight, compared to their methods of extracting information from the Enemy. Yes, the people that some of you are whining about torture over are our ENEMIES that would just as soon cut your throat as thank you for arguing for their ‘rights’!!
In short after reading these comments, you people need to check your facts, then write to your representatives telling them to do the job you voted them into office to do. All this other stuff is just trivia and media hype to keep you occupied while the politicians line their pockets and the pockets of their cronies while you are distracted. I’ll not defend any politician until one actually does what he/she promised to do. As of yet, at least since I was in high school (a long time ago) I havn’t seen that happen.
What I think, or anybody else for that matter, about Bush is irrelevant. He is no longer in office. What I think about Obama is simply this: he is steering this country toward a socialistic system. I don’t like that. He has totally different ideas than myself, I havn’t agreed with many of the things he has said and done. I don’t fault him for that because we all have different ideas, that’s what makes life interesting. However, I am helping to pay his salary with my tax dollars and I expect him to listen to what I have to say, not just charge ahead with his ideas regardless of what the people think. I think some of his choices for high positions in his cabinet and elsewhere have been totally off base and not in the line of what is best for this country.
I’ve said my piece, now it’s time to say good night.
‘At least Bush championed these atrocities in the light of day’
