I have never understood why the Bushes pal around with them, I don't understand why they don't say something about Obama either.
In my opinion they have a duty to speak up, they asked for support and they got it. Well it would help if they returned some favors. The nation is in serious trouble and they could command the stage easily.
This has puzzled me too. When GWB left the White House, he was in front of a crowd in Texas and he was asked about his failings with Katrina. He said "Hold on!" and in two or three minutes laid out all the criticisms and without trashing anyone else, laid out how his administration had done more than any other administration in the past for any other disaster, regardless of what Shep Smith or Jerry Rivers had to say.
I was watching with my mouth hanging open, thinking 'Where has this guy been?' Alas, except for that one appearance, he went dormant and got out his paint brushes. I still wonder 'How come?'
