“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor,” he said.”

Unless your a Democrat ex-president.

“Yes, I am,” he said. “Eight years is plenty.”

...Agreed. 8 years of relentless attacks from the left is more then most could bare.

I just watched the video of that Leno program, and thoroughly enjoyed it. George Bush may not have been the brightest president we ever had, but he certainly was not out to destroy this country.

He was not our best president, and I didn’t agree with a lot of what he did, but he was/is a class act. Considering what we have now, I long to have him back!

Well, he’s a better painter than he was a President.

“I think I’m a painter.”

So was Hitler! “He could do a whole room in one afternoon. TWO COATS!”
(I stole that from THE PRODUCERS)

Actually Bush is quite good with his painting! Keep it up!

Any bets Bush’s painting career will be remembered longer than Obamacare?

Here’s what a “conservative” is supposed to be?

* Doing his very best to destroy American sovereignty by melding America into Mexico into Canada???

* George W. Bush (43): “I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul.
I knew that President Putin was a man with whom I could work.”

* Did nothing when his wife called a homosexual partner’s mom the “mother-in-law” ???

* Allowed the new Iraqi constitution to have a clause where no law would contradict Islam.

* Wanted to sell US port operations to Dubai - a nation that supports terror.

* Advocates a completely open border - to the detriment of national security.

* Calls the Minutemen “vigilantes”.

* Continually calls Islam a “religion of peace”.

* Pursues “free trade”, not fair trade. “Free trade” has not been very fair, so far.

* Supported Specter over Toomey.

* Told Hush to host Specter with softballs, and then Hush carries the water.

* Continually supported Linc Chaffee, and what did it win in the long run?

* Let Ted Kennedy write the education bill.

* Did nothing to rein in pork barrel government spending.

* In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Charles Gibson, Bush said he believes that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God. “I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty,” Bush said.

Seeing that interaction on Leno once again created a bright and stark contrast, for all the world to see, to the current president who really does not seem to have the best interest of America at heart.

Who would ever think that George W. Bush would ever omit saying one nation - under God - as Obama has habitually and repeatedly done? No one.

What a contrast. It almost brings about a sense of regretful sadness.

The Bush Family has all but been exposed as Progressives.

Bush set the train running down the track of recklessness and made it easy for 44/2

The fawning makes me ill.

Even if you subscribe tot he theory that Bush was a Schill for the New World order etc... He still seemed to genuinely care for this country as a whole....

Bush also came armed with a portrait of his host, just to push the whole thing over the edge into the semi-surreal.-—I guess if clunton showed up with a cigar covered in Monica juice that would be fine.

Add to that list

the Harriet Miers fiasco

John Roberts and his pretzelled interpretation of Obamacare

3 major pushes for amnesty for illegals

the dipsy-doodle fast-foot shuffle of putting 6,000 National Guard on the border — a few hundred at a time in unarmed short-term deployments of washing vehicles and filing paperwork

“George Bush may not have been the brightest president we ever had”

I think he’s smart enough. His problem was as POTUS he didn’t know how to appear bright.
