GWB has a flair for understatement.
Is Dubya really that clueless?
People need to realize someone like Bush making opinionated comments against Obama would probably only help Obama. He is a classy and clever man and obviously knows better.
I agree with comments on this thread that a strong statement against 0 from Bush would probably HELP 0.
That being said, being fatigued is a bit different than being a fascist.
In BO’s case, it’s not fatigue, it’s sheer laziness. Now, he can be more lazy than he was in the first term. Only one meeting a day, if that, more vacation in a year than many will have in a lifetime, non-stop feet on the table, watching tv — all while paid for by the taxpayers.
I thought it was an unwritten rule that former presidents didn’t criticize the current or “sitting” President or its administration. That’s why I think George W. is just being “vague” in his assessment of Obama’s, shall we say, challenges. I can remember only one (I could be wrong on the number) living former presidents who broke this rule. The former president’s name (Drum role please) Jimmy Carter...
Bush says why he thinks Obama is "having a difficult go" and it's a valid and sensible explanation.
He even says that he's "not surprised." So did Meacham or his editor not even read the article?
Sounds like one of those living here who was either sleeping or "out of the loop" on 09-11-01.
I guess I’m the first to say it: It’s Bush’s Fault!
STFU W!
Quite an understatement there, Jorge.
GWB has a flair for understatement.
As much as I wish GWB would really come out firing against Obama, I have great respect for the man and do respect his wishes to stay out of the limelight. I look at the type of men who do prefer to hog the spotlight after their terms are done (Carter and Clinton) I see that GWB is in an entirely different class of people... a much better one, IMHO.
