Bush says he won’t criticize Obama
Hot Air ^ | NOVEMBER 4, 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 11/05/2010 2:53:04 PM PDT by RobinMasters

George W. Bush has come out of his self-imposed media blackout to promote his new book, Decision Points, which goes into full release on November 9th. Oprah Winfrey will air a pretaped interview with the former President on that day, but has a preview of the appearance out already, via The Right Scoop.

In this clip, Bush tells Winfrey that he refrains from opining on Barack Obama’s performance because he wants to treat the current President the way he wished other former Presidents had treated him. Also, he elects to stay out of the “swamp” of punditry when Winfrey asks him about Sarah Palin.

Bush restores sanity better than Jon Stewart fans.

Classy? Yes. Presidential? Absolutely — 2 qualities Obama will always lack.

I know we all want Former President Bush to act like Bill Clinton did to President Bush and how the future Former President Obama will act to the next President, but Former President Bush has too my class.

A side personal thanks to Former President Bush for all he did, I did not agree with everything but I knew he had the best interests of the country in mind.

More class in one man than in BHO’s entire cabinet, or party, for that matter

You can’t teach class, so even though Barry has all those fancy degrees he would never even qualify to be a pimple on 43’s ass.

Bush, I think, is a truly nice person. The road he’s taking is the high one.

I remember how for weeks some were freaking out that Bush’s re-appearance on the scene close to election day would hurt the Republicans.

I think his World Series pitch put that idea to rest. He reminded people of the time he threw the pitch after 9/11. Although I am sure there were negative comments from libs, I didn’t hear any complaints from non-conservatives about this.

I think many Americans were caught off guard and felt pride when he and 41 did there thing. It seems to have puzzled them, as it didn’t fit their ‘he’s a moron’ attitude.

Didn’t hurt us at all on election day.

Bush is an ex-president but he's also an American citizen. The idea that he's somehow above it all offends me. Watching his successor take this country down the toilet and he has no criticism. You may call it classy. I call it spineless.

I guess his grandchildren are set for life so that he doesn't feel the need to speak out on behalf of the rest of us.

Or, he's all for what Obama's doing.

Set’s see,
Since day one obammy has made G.W.Bush his favorite whooping boy.
To the point where every ill that affects us is Bush’s fault.
YET G.W. Bush refuses to take obammy to task?
Hey George, that little compassionate conservativism thing of yours? Well you and it is all horse crap.

Expect an angry letter from the pimple on Bush’s ass for thinking there could even be someone thinking Zero could compare.

Class is something that would be unknown to folks like you. Of course you live up to your past performance in your posts by making asinine statements based on nothing with this post!

Note to Clinton, Obama, and Carter. This is called “class.” It’s when... oh, never mind. It’s over your head.

not classy nor presidential. Moronic. Obama is ruining the country. Um, I got nothing to say. This is why the 8 years of Bush have been so frustrating. He NEVER defend himself. I remember the frustration on Rush radio show about Bush letting the media/left tear him apart without a defense
