“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!
I waiting for the lefties to compare him to a Hitler in reverse.
Well, he’s a better painter than he was a President.
Actually, eight years was WAYYYYYY too much time for "Jorge Rembrandt".
“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?
I just posted a thread with a link to the entire interview....definitely must see:

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.

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.
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.
GWB is a class guy, not a very good president, but a class guy.
I would have painted Jay a nice middle finger.
Just curious if you and your fellow LA-based FReepers were in the Leno audience last night. I was stunned by the overwhelmingly positive applause and cheers that Pres. G. W. Bush and Laura Bush received from the crowd...
