Raw Video: Bush, Streisand Share Awkward Smooch

[LohengrinT]

Barbra Streisand licking dirty butts to get another! stupid award - a huge disappointent. It seems to me she would kill to get another award. This is not the behavior of a Diva, it is the behavior of a licker of butts!

[darlinkula1]

Barbra acted as civilized as she could when being kissed by a man who started an unneccesary 3 trillion dollar war and bankrupted America.

[LohengrinT]

@darlinkula1

but run without her panties to get another award from the hands of an international criminal. It seems to me she is just another idiot after all.

[JunkE4Theatre]

hahah.....so awkward.

[droote]

0:54 "Oh my God I have to touch this nigger! GAH, goosebumps!"

[victorsblock]

@droote:

are you quoting yourself? If you're a libtard you probably are.

[droote]

@victorsblock No, I am quoting the mind of Bush.

[victorsblock]

@droote

no.it is your mind. typical libtard always projecting and accusing. Libtards always squeal like pigs. take off your panties and bend over and just wait.............

[u2baah]

She looked pretty weirded out by it

[eustationtube]

Where are the World Trade Center and the 3,000 people?

No excuses, Bush did what he thought was right. In fact, he KNEW he was right.

No WMD? What did Saddam use to kill thousands of Kurds?

Oil was the last thing on Bush's mind. If we "grabbed it", then where is it?

Without free speech, your ass would be sunk. You'd better be glad we've got brave men and women in uniform who are willing to risk it all to defend the rights of sick whiny little full-of-shit weasels like you.

[buchananstreet]

i would be HUMBLED, too, to receive a " prize " from bush,1 of the worst mass murderers since hitler - guilty of  innocently killing ONE MILLION PEOPLE IN IRAQ according to the john hopkins university and if killing one million people based on a pack of lies ( " weeapons of mass destruction", " links to alkaida of saddam" etc) is NOT mass murder - THEN WHAT IS? the truth is, that the iraq war was long before planned and they used 911 as an excuse to grab the oil at last

[eustationtube]

George W. Bush, in my opinion, was the most under-rated president in recent history. After he won the election twice (once at the polls and again in court, thanks to Gore), he kept us safe and kept the economy "between the ditches" for 8 years before handing the reigns over to, well, never mind.

Barbra Streisand is a great singer and handled the situation well, as did the President.

[buchananstreet]

whats so underrated about this bragging maniac who fucked up the american economy and world peace like no other president before him? we will some day see all the truth and get to know the evidence: that bush was the worst fascist anyone could only imagine

[mroneoftheguys]

What a nice jesture by the President in the light kiss of Ms. Streisand....Nothing shown awkward in the little kiss on the part of either party...very misleading title to your video....................

[damone77]

He did keep us safe after 9/11 and he did set initiatives to help insure that our warriors are safe. See the movie "Hurt Locker" and you'll see those little robots whose job it is to sniff out the worst first before our warriors are sent in to dismantle a bomb. Bush does not get the credit he deserves, and yet I think that Streisand is the greatest singers we've ever had!  Not an oxymoron, just the truth!

[douchteeth]

nice assessment!!!!!!! fair and balanced!  But don't forget GWB bribed us (practically) by handing out 300-600 tax rebate checks after stealing the election!

[Ravencrazybunnygirl]

Ew...

[MGMpresentsSEB]

That was NOT classy of her.... it shows only that she has NO balls!!! She`ll do whatever to get an award...... She SHOULD have rejected this when it was presented by the man she so publicly and personally denounces.....

[Bigbadben7]

Bull Shit, she received an award from the White House, The Office of the Presidency, not Bush himself.

It's a beautiful "American Moment"

You act as if Bush is somehow believing her feelings for him are different now.

She earned the award and it's an honor to recive it, she did the right thing and I respect her more for it.

[douchteeth]

there's a time and place for everything.....I don't think you can pick and choose your time to get a Kennedy Center honor......it comes more from the White House, not the sitting prez......y'know thats a revolving seat! I enjoy the irony (i guess a good word here) because they both showed such grace and class in the whole thing....

[wickedphant0m]

How very classy and professional of her.

[oranger2525]

and him too.

and i think W. was there worst prez since nixon.

[douchteeth]

she's a class act, always was. He really stepped it up, I admire that. I bet he's a Babs fan, I know Laura is....I know they can afford the really good seats at one of her concerts!

[jnlenhart]

don't mean to seem blind about what's going on here... BUT GO 1/2 OF THE WHO?

[wdkaty]

people it was a kiss on the cheek get over it it was very classy of her to accept the award from from him good for her

[mikesterSTLMO]

Kudos to Barbra for having the class and respect for the Kennedy Honors tradition to accept the award from WHOMEVER happens to be President at the moment. As she said, the honor is about one life achievements in the ART, and that transcends politics.

[biz213]

hm.

[sergeiparajanov]

Nothing awkward about this at all. After reading the press reports, you'd think it was weird.  It was perfectly nice and respectful from both Bush and Streisand.

Without Bush to hate, what are liberals going to do now? Oh, that's right! They still have tons of other people to hate: Jews, Israelis, Republicans, Christians, Conservatives ...

It's what leftists do best: HATE.

[daddymak8]

You need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or whatever propaganda you listen to if you intend to be taken sriously. First of all, it is not hate when directed at human trash like George Bush. He is nothing but a blueblooded sociopath. He is no different than Jeffrey Dahmer. Bush is a despicible human being. It is humane to hate such filth. And let's not get into ideological hate when so called conseratives hold up people like Ann Coulter as pariahs.

[ilid56]

Wow daddymak8, way to show how liberals don't hate... oh, wait a minute, you illustrated hate perfectly. I do not hate you but I do pity you (you cluess idiot).

[sergeiparajanov]

Hysterical hatred mixed with laughable ignorance -- yes, you're the classic left liberal, Daddymak8.

I hope Obama's stimulus plan provides you with a dictionary, so you can expand your puny vocabulary. "Pariah", for example, means the opposite of what you seem to think it means. Look it up -- that is, if you're able to read.

One can hardly expect literacy from someone with your childish and absurd political viewpoint.

[natojacobs5]

when will you children learn? There are assholes on both sides(and top and bottom) of the political spectrum. Yes kids, it's true. Not all truth in the world lies within one political ideology.

[sergeiparajanov]

Uh, this child is quite aware of that, Nato. If daddymaker had said Pres. Obama was "no better than Jeffrey Dahmer", I would have reamed him a new one for that, too.

There are idiots and jerks on all sides of the aisle, as you point out. But Daddymak's over-the-top ad hominem attacks do seem to be a particular specialty of the passionate Left.

[nojsc]

Typical to the Associated Press, their headline has no truth to it. There was nothing awkward in the president's kiss for Barbara. It was done in good taste and respect.

[thedavetionary]

Totally misleadingly named.

I expected something more visibly awkward than that. Just seemed like people being polite.

Besides, if she hates George Bush THAT much I don't see why she just wouldn't turn down the invitation...

[jpgilroy1]

It was not his invitation to give nor her's to refuse it was just bad timing.

[BadHombress]

daddymak8: "No decent person doesn't hate Bush" --- yeah, real brilliant there, assknob. I hope you aren't actually a "daddy." If you are, that explains why we have such a high prison population.

[von8lou]

what was so awkward about that? I thought they were both classy & respectful of each other

Luigi ~ nyc

[jstfacts4u]

@von8lou EXACTLY MY WORDS EXACTLY!

[zedrein18]

I actually respect what Barbara did, instead of using that platform to make a political statement that would of attracted much press, she acted like a very classy performer.

[jstfacts4u]

@zedrein18 SHE HAD to be classy seeing that a man she insulted and slander had no problems in honoring her talents regarding of her stupidity and ignorance politically, i don't mind a discenter but she always spoke silly utopical stuff without knowing facts or even modern history, even the Gulf War facts...good job Bush and i love Barbra's old career, as you know it ended years ago, she's a classic now a living legend but it was over in the late 70's although she kept performind made Yentl etc..

[ladyjz]

Tiger, I'm with you girl. You know if your put in this spot on National TV you are expected to respond a certain way. She did, although she has been vocal about Bush she is still respectful, he is a person, and her views are political not personal.

[staticroad76]

I don't think it was awkward at all. It was very classy. She doesn't care for his political belief's. That doesn't mean they can't be civil towards each other and that is what was displayed here. Civility.

[bokabeed]

Bush is an idiot. Barbarra was very classy in her gestures. What was awkward? Did you expect her to spit in his face and pull his eyes out? She was just being an adult.

But Pete and Roger stole the show all around imo.

[loscar777]

barbara was correct in her position and greeting !

[Thejbirdy]

She retained her graciousness and that's all that was necessary, seriously WTF cares? He's history and bad at it as well.

Accolades go more to Pete and Rog anyway, these people gave their lives to music and acting The Who gave their hearts and souls.

[Tigerlily21]

I love how Babs said "even though as he was kissing me, I was kissing him goodbye" on her site. Damn right Babs. Kiss his ass goodbye! Good riddens to the worst president in US History!

[BadHombress]

"even though as he was kissing me, I was kissing him goodbye"...

At long last, she couldn't fake classy forever. George W. Bush, as always, was classy and gracious when faced with a dried up, hateful crone like BS.

[daddymak8]

No decent person doesn't hate George Bush. He's a poor excuse for a human being, let alone president. I had no idea she said that, but if she did, Babs, I SALUTE YOU. Perhaps she should have spat in his face, that would have been pretty cool. I know I would if I were as close to him as she was. Disgusting, despicable, loathesome. That about sums up George W Bush. Oh, and who can forget traitor? Commander in chief George W Bush. The Case for Fragging.

[guidette1]

haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaa GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH AND FAMILLY there are lots of ppl that love president bush

[daddymak8]

If you beliee that, then you need to spend 20 minutes somewhere besides your trailer park in Alabama. 78% of Americans HATE him. 66% of people who voted for him the second time wish regret doing so. George Bush is a less than pathetic excuse for a human being. Nothing I love more than referring to him as FORMER president. Fuck Bush, Cheney and his entire administration and family. Fuck Barbara Bush, ost of all, for not aborting him.

[Manbeast222]

No homo, but I love you. Fuck Bush,

[lifeline52002]

Your not only sick but I can see your a liberal that hate any thing President Bush ever done. But remember he did keep us safe after 9/11 asshole oh sorry now I am like you showing hate.

Funny how you Liberals Democratics point out the hate is only on the Conv. Republicans side but when it come down to it hate start and end with you Daddymak8.

I will never say I hate President Obama or VP Biden but I do not like their policy that is different than hating some one asshole, sorry againe.

[finster1968]

Daddymak8, George Bush should have presented his buttocks to Babs for the kiss. I'll take W over this communist jerk, who is now spending us into the ground and letting the government take over the people's economy. And think wire tapping was a problem??? You ain't seen nothing yet.

[lifeline52002]

Sorry Best President we ever had.

[LadyCop212]

Hey, after reading her post on her site, I have to give credit where credit is due.. she actually said it was her first time to meet him, and she thought he was very gracious. She was even gracious about the meeting. And I'm no Streisand fan, but I'm also no idealogue. I give her credit for acknowledging his graciousness, and I credit her for hers.

[grai]

It wasn't nessecary for Barbra Streisand to kiss Bush - she buckled

she could have made a strong point by cooly and politely shaking his hand

It throws into question her convictions as a Democrat and her image as a strong willed fearless yada yada

[LadyCop212]

Oh, fuck you, you pussy? Can't you stand to be human just once? Jeebus, your BDS is out of control!

[grai]

thank you so much for your rational intelligent mature response

[Tigerlily21]

if she didn't then everyone would say how classless and immature she was being about the situation. She can't win either way!

[grai]

I think she would have retained more credibility with a cool polite handshake

There's ways of being gracious but keeping a distance

Anyone with any sense of outrage at the Bush administration or with any integrity doesnt put their arms round him and kiss him - it's not necessary

Bush was obviously highly delighted - she made a strong statement in his favour

[DEVILDOG118]

im on cam and bored

want to chat with singles o5

[theblueangel28]

none of them should be on the same dais with Streisand, she stands head and shoulders above everyone

but Morgan Freeman doesnt deserve a Kennedy Center Honors, whats he ever done? hes an ok actor, who gives the same performance in every film, and hasnt done anything much else, and certainly doesnt come close to Barbra, Tharp, and The Who

[SnugglySara]

Loved seeing Bush shake hands with my sweet babboo and my bitch!

[bleekblock]

W. should have grabbed her cooch.

[demetrickw2]

Barbra so happy that that moron is leaving the White House for good. I think she's happy now since the Democrats got the house and the Election that she's not disturbed by this. That kiss was sorta like a "Fuck You" in my case. She did later say that she would have waited two more years to get that award, and too would have loved to have Barack Obama their by her side.

[DennyMclain2008]

that looks more like a prison lineup.

[alfie4472]

Miracles do happen after all...

How hard this must've been for Barbra

Hopefully, she had some hand sanitizer handy...

[8mycrab]

That kiss was no skin off her cheek.

Look at that smile, she's singing...

Happy days are here again! The skies above are clear again! So lets sing a song of cheer again. Happy days! Happy times! Happy days! Are! Here! Ah-gain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[mcluenmarshall]

8mycrab- "Happy days" As we speak the socialists (Democrats) are working on a plan to tax gasoline back up to $4 dollars a gallon. When those moron "independent" voters discover that they've been hoodwinked, they'll be back to the center right in time to take out it on Dems in the mid-term elections.

[jiggakilla666]

Ya know she wants to give Bush some pussy.

[Annajo61]

Jesus said,"I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you." Amen!

[PAYNE227]

If he was as good at giving out awards as running the country we would not be in the finicial mess we are in now.He is a non president,never discovered his veto pen,Clinton must have kept it. Either he is the idiot he projects or he has surrounded himself with some poor advisors, either way he has been an embarrassment.We need to throw Congress in with him as they have contributed to the mess. Keep printing and spending that money boys and maybe it will go away:-). Bush-Carter two peas in a pod.

[jpbalkenende]

I love how you cons retroactively are trying to pretend Bush was a liberal or a democrat, it's just so fucking pathetic considering the context and your own behavior over the past 8 years. I can only laugh really. It's not going to stick btw the sticking your head up your ass strategy didn't work in 08 and won't work in the future. The sooner you man up admit your bullshit and move one the sooner you'll be out of the political wilderness.

[sexyYTuser]

she was only being classy

[wdcsucks1]

this is no honor to be there, its disgrace! i am never going to listen to the WHO again! yaaackkkk!!!

[chinacat22]

I can't believe she kissed that douchebag. She should have spit in his face!! lol...

[finster1968]

mmm413...no, he's a recovered alcholic. And had he been a Democrat, people like you would be on Oprah crying and hugging with him for his strength to quit. And for the record: "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it," wrote Obama about what he would later say were "bad decisions."

[billyboylb]

Go Barbra. You're a great American!

[FreedomsPatriot]

She is a pile of SHIT!

[piepaco]

And YOU are the little fucking fly that drops dead because you heve nothing to live for except to put down people with talent and compassion!!

[vintagemike]

you are the pile of shit for picking on the greatest star ever you scumbasg freedom patriot republican bush supporter

[FreedomsPatriot]

FUCK YOU and that pile of liberal shit you call brains you 19 year old dumbass. I bet your a perfect example of a public dropout factory, destined to be a ignorant loser in life and content as long as you have a Nintendo.

[tuecoute]

Nice way of stereotyping youth of America...

[FreedomsPatriot]

If the nose ring fits?

[timg455]

And nobody mentions the exact same moment Bush shared with the woman before Streisand...

[Cerryenergy]

It's the best video ever!!:D

[finster1968]

No Piepaco, Bush is the class act for saying such kind words about that wench. It's one thing to disagree with a leader, but her petty, low class behavior should have disqualified her from any award. She is self-centered, narcissistic, and has NO class whatsover. She can ACT well, though. Bush's warmth is real, just like his wife's.

[mmm413]

Bush? A LEADER? Bush has been drunk for at least six years.

[Tigerlily21]

I'm so sick of all the Barbra Streisand hate, do you even hear about all the amazing things this woman has done? Sorry she actually gives a damn and wants this country to do better and is not afraid to speak out on it instead of retreating to her mansion and spending all her millions and not having any voice.She has helped so many people with her charities and not to mention her accomplishments.

[finster1968]

Tigerlily, you're entitled to your opionion. I, like you, am also tired of all the hate, directed at President Bush! It is beyond any hate expressed for Streisand. I'm not impressed just because she happens to be wealthy and gives some money to charity. There are many miserable people, like her, who happen to have the extra cash. And they dole it out to alleviate their feelings of guilt and narcissism. That's Babs. The things she says about people who disagree with her are disgusting.

[lifeline52002]

I guess Barb giving her money to Democratics is like giving it to Charity , plus have you ever hear of all the good food they have when she thow a party for the Democratics , the left overs go to the Dogs and Cats, not to people to bad.

Well a liberal rich Democratic is all she is .

[FreedomsPatriot]

I do not have as much class as Bush as I would have spit in Streisand's face!

[WayneInSF]

Classy.

[tecpaocelotl]

Nothing awkward about it. It would've been awkward if Bush kissed Morgan Freeman.

[Whitepussyass]

I see nothing awkward about the kiss he gave Barbra or the other woman. They looked the same.

[piepaco]

How could Barbra kiss that poor excuse of a President? Well she's pure class!

[WinterHaven]

SHe's kissing Bush's ASS!

[oriac1212]

It's on his face?!?

[WinterHaven]

Sure Bush has SHIT for brains!

[JMTOFSS]

Well, he does talk out of it

[WinterHaven]

They are honoring a man who will drive thousands of Americans to suicide due to the inability to find a job. Only in America!

[WinterHaven]

If there is a God in heaven, Bush will take to the bottle and drink heavily-and get cirrhosis of the liver.

[WinterHaven]

Man fucked up this country-perhaps beyond repair and plunged us into a terrible DEPRESSION-and sent millions into unemployment-and without a doubt there will be a HUGE number of SUICIDES due to the inability to find a job-and this fuck wad gets honored. I bet he doesn't even have a conscience or care-he will be sitting in his billion dollar mansion feeding horses.

[WinterHaven]

I read in the supermarket tabloids that BUSH is at the bottle again. And Bush and Laura are separated with marital problems due to Bush cheating and boozing it up. I guess an appropriate song for the occasion would be "Why don't we get drunk...and screw.."

Bush screwed us for sure with extra LUBE!

[finster1968]

WinterHaven, if you rely on tabloids for your news, no wonder your perceptions of politics are so screwed up. Barney Frank is the one who screwed you, with NO lube, not Bush. By the way, are you paying attention????? Bush, (or "this fuck wad", as you call him) was not the one being honored. Streisand was. DUH.

[WinterHaven]

First of all, fuck wad bush lover, BUSH is the main center of attention, thus HONORED. Second-BUSH and his republican gestapo approved the banks to have deregulations and permitted them unlimited power screwing the investors and you can take that and shove it up your ass!

[jhamm999]

winterhaven. they were honoring all the artists on the podium or did you not see those ribbons around their neck?. second as far as the mortgage fallout goes it was people like frank and dodd who forced the banks into loaning money to people whose credit was not good. may have been for honorable purposes but results were bad.

[finster1968]

Oooo..so harsh, and so wrong. Deregulation was not the problem. Stop with this "predatory lender" shit and your anti-business rot gut. What started it was Clinton's insisting we lower lending standards and give home loans to people washing dishes who couldn't afford them. Also.....if you can't afford an $800,000 McMansion, don't buy one, get a smaller home! Take responsibility for your choices!

[mmm413]

You might want to research.

[WinterHaven]

Strange how BUSH is center stage and doing all the talking while Steisand (kissing Bush's ass) is on the background-and you say Streisand is being honored? GET REAL.

[FreedomsPatriot]

Give it up, the liberals live in fantasy land!

[SpookeyR]

And the repiglicans live where?!

[finster1968]

Yeah, I know they do. But giving up is not my style. If so, I'd be one of them.

[nritnrat]

The difference between them is the Prez has some class, whereas Babs is a crosseyed anteater high-school dropout.

[SpookeyR]

You think that Bush, a drunken cokehead fratboy, has class!?? He was a complete & total failure in everything he touched up until the age of 40 years old!!

[FreedomsPatriot]

Wrong, but so was Henry Ford.

[JMTOFSS]

"High-school dropout?" She graduated 6 months early on the Honour Roll with a 90-something average.

[Tigerlily21]

Uh do you see the way Babs is here? That is the ultimate show of class considering she rightfully so hates his guts. Bush running our country into the ground is nowhere near classy in my mind ever.

[gullybore]

i am sensing that also

[shueevon]

He should have bit her.

[Hissyspit]

Yes, he's killed enough people already, innocent Iraqis AND Americans. Why should he stop causing suffering now?

[abarzilai664]

To her it was akward because of her hatred of the president, yet her reason took over and told her to accept the kiss because it is rude and improper to refuse a kind gesture from a national leader.

[angelom32]

yeah i dont really see how that was awkward. it didnt look that bad

[leepakim]

cute

[MikeDeesNuts]

"They have used their gifts to the fullest"

How would he know?

What a noob!

[WeskJago]

dont worry! here's hoping steisand gave him the 'kiss of death'! *crosses fingers*

...all i want for x-mas....

[dardraa]

second

[karinablack]

He didn't kiss Morgan Freeman on the cheek. THAT would've been awkward.

This actually didn't look all that bad.

[hamburglerz77]

first
