I don't think it is perfect yet, Snowy. It sounded like one of his new catch phrases...I think we'll hear it again...and again...and again...
What if your neighbor is an absolute jerk? Do you still have to love them like you like to like you? Or are you supposed to move to give someone else the chance to like them like you would have if only you could have loved them to like them like.....?

How about some others from speeches?

From the California speech that your quote was from above,
"Now that I'm in California, I've got to walk around like a talk show host."
Good luck to him on that mission.

Hey, if George W loved his neighbors, he'd make DC the 51st state. Free DC now!!!!!

Snowy, those aren't the neighbors he loves...he loves the ones in Crawford. Geesh. You can't expect him to love all the neighbors everywhere.

Maybe he should like himself first, then the neighbors will like to love him. Why does he care so much about the neighbors anyway? Afraid of snitches? 
And this is a Harvard/Yale grad! So much for the Ivy League.

"Love your neighbors as you would like to be liked yourself."
Maybe he was thinking about "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
We are lucky that he didn't translate that into, "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you."
ie preemtive strikes.

Biblical no doubt but I think it is "Love thy neighbor as thyself" or something.
I'm almost embarrassed to say I don't remember the exact quote.

Biblical? That's probably why I don't recognize it.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
That sounds good!
It doesn't sound very presidential, does it?

It is one of the ten commandments handed by God down to Charleton Heston, I mean Moses.

He would do better to quote Martin Luther King and repeat it to himself at least once every day.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate;
Only love can do that."

He could have choked on a pretzel during that part and misunderstood the phrasing.
What's scary is those people listening to his speeches and nodding and saying, "That's right!", "Makes sense!", "Exactly what this country needs!"

This was one of his George Bush's first statements as our first appointed president and strangely prophetic. Maybe he overheard Carl Rove or Ashcroft. discussing the idea.

Leave Charleton Heston alone. If he was president none of this takeover would be happening.

Republicans think that he was joking. I don't. Because since then, he's made every effort that he can to turn this into a Dictatorship.
Will there be Voting by the next Presidential election?

Hey! "Love your neighbor" is not one of the ten commandments. It was the "new commandment" Jesus gave his disciples.
And, originally, back when Bush was running for president, he said, "That great commandment: LIKE your neighbor like you like to be liked yourself." Now he's saying to LOVE the neighbor? Has he softened?!
