The fact that George W Bush has given Michelle Obama two pieces of candy is once again making headlines in mainstream outlets like Time<\/em><\/a>, The Hill<\/em><\/a>, and Newsweek<\/em><\/a>. He has not given her any new pieces of candy since the last time he did so at his father\u2019s funeral. He also has not ceased to be the man who facilitated the murder of a million Iraqis and inflicted a whole new level of military expansionism and Orwellian surveillance upon our world. As near as I can tell, the only reason this story is once again making headlines is because Michelle Obama and the mainstream media have decided to bring it up again.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has the presence of mind and the sense of humor to bring me a mint, and he made it a point to give me that mint right then and there and that\u2019s the beauty of George Bush,\u201d Obama said of the war criminal in conversation at the SAP Center over the weekend, which we apparently need to know about because the news is telling us about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all Americans. We all care about our family and our kids, and we\u2019re trying to get ahead,\u201d Obama continued. \u201cAnd that\u2019s how I feel about [Bush]. You know? He\u2019s a beautiful, funny, kind, sweet man.<\/p>\n

I have always respected Michelle Obama. But continuing to glorify a mass murderer responsible\u00a0for the death of over a million defenseless innocent civilians, reflects more on her own character than on that of that despicable war criminal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

If you\u2019re starting to feel like attempts to rehabilitate George W Bush\u2019s image are being aggressively shoved down your throat by the mass media at every opportunity, it\u2019s because that is exactly what is happening.<\/div>\n
