George Bush feels betrayed by Republicans on immigration, according to an article by Stephen Dinan in Sunday's Washington Times about the president's appearance at the Democrats' annual retreat. When Illinois Democratic Representative Luis Gutierrez complained to the president that Republicans were going to the voters with the immigration issue, President Bush sided —really sided—with the Democrat, telling him, "You are not the only one with arrows in your back."

1. Well he betrayed all Americans. How's it feel?

2. Oh puhleeze ... get out the violin ... He's got Chinless McConnell in Senate

doing his wife's bidding and keeping the Thugs in line and Boner whining away in the House. Betrayal my ass!

3. Two words for the Spoiled Frat Boy in Chief.

Karmic feedback.

No tears from this part of the gallery. None. At. All.

4. the senate sure has his back

that's what happens when you drag in co-conspirators - they stick by you until they can't.

and they still can.

he's getting poked in the back - arrows look like impeachment.

5. Immigration is the exception

He's used to seeing the Congressional Republicans do as they're told. For example, they make speeches denouncing deficit spending but don't make any serious effort to rein him in.

The immigration issue is the rare case where significant numbers of Republicans won't go along with him. I can understand his feeling betrayed. How was he to know that they might actually start thinking for themselves?

6. Seems to be the one issue they couldn't get past the bigoted instincts

of their base.

Bush wanted a softer immigrant policy to help his corporate cronies, but the rednecks at home weren't buying, so the Pubby Panderers couldn't deliver.

7. "arrows in his back" is a relative term

Kind of like when he says "hard work."

8. Well if it's any consolation, they were shooting for his throat.

9. Bush's only support comes from halliburton and the oil companies

[damntexdem]

10. Twist 'em! Twist 'em!

And make sure the Rethugs keep shooting them.

[symbolman]

11. Yeah, well

Wake me up when somebody gets a ROPE. :)

12. he must really feel betrayed ...because "dagger in the back"

... would at least imply that the person had gotten close enough to touch him! (Unless the dagger is tied to an 11-foot pole, that is.)
