George W. Bush On Facebook -- Over 140,000 Fans On Day 9

I joined President George W. Bush's Facebook page earlier today. President Bush has already received thousands of positive comments since he first joined Facebook on June 2, and his Facebook page has grown to over 140,000 Facebook fans in just a little over one week.

President Bush is offering interesting posts on his Facebook wall, and I am looking forward to visiting George W. Bush's official Facebook page often. I also plan on sharing some of President Bush's posts on my Facebook wall from time to time, as he is being gracious enough to allow the "sharing" option on his Facebook wall.

I already shared some of President George W. Bush's offerings on my Facebook wall earlier today, such as information about First Lady Laura Bush's best-selling memoir, "Spoken from the Heart," the #1 bestseller on the "New York Times" Bestseller List for three weeks in a row; and a link to a short video of Presidents Bush's Inaugural Address [HD].

Helen Thomas Resigns After Saying Jews Should "Get The Hell Out Of Palestine"

Helen Thomas recently revealed her true anti-Semitic colors when she told a Jewish Rabbi that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and move to Germany and Poland. The statement was shocking enough in itself, but it is even more unbelievable that she said these vile, anti-Semitic words unabashedly to a Jewish Rabbi, and that the words were spoken on the White House grounds.

Due to the shock wave her words created, and rightly so, Helen Thomas resigned from the White House press corps yesterday.
Thomas, 89, has been a fixture at the White House press conferences for half a century, for most of that time as a United Press International correspondent, but as an opinion columnist for Hearst since 2000. In that latter role, she used her ability to question the president as an opportunity to push her own views. While White House officials should expect tough questions from reporters, Thomas didn’t exactly challenge George W. Bush and his press aides; rather, she berated them — about war, Middle Eastern politics, and other subjects. 1
1 Helen Thomas: Bizarre end to a long career

Helen Thomas was being interviewed by Rabbi David F. Nesenoff when she told him what she really thinks about Jews and Israel. Rabbi Nesenoff has his own website. Visit Rabbi Nesenoff's website to read Helen Thomas Updates and view his YouTube Complete Version of the Helen Thomas interview.

I'm still trying to digest how a woman with such a long and distinctive career could have said that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and move to Germany or Poland. To be so incredibly uncaring and insensitive to the fact that 6 million Jews were murdered by Hitler and the Nazis in what is known as The Holocaust, is, to me, incomprehensible.

Even in her official apology before resigning, she did not say anything about being sorry for what she said about Jews. I don't think her words fit into the definition of a true apology, and, even you disagee, that still would not have erased the uneasy feeling her words about Jews getting out of Palestine generated in many people. Here is Helen Thomas' apology:
In a written statement issued Friday, Thomas apologized, saying, “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians.”
She said the comments “do not reflect” her “heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance.”
“May that day come soon,” she added. 2
Since Helen Thomas is now officially retired, maybe she should consider retiring to Poland. I hear there's a house for rent right next door to Auschwitz.
