Bush undercuts Trump a month into presidency after staying silent on Obama for 8 years
The Washington Times ^ | February 27, 2017 | Kelly Riddell

For eight long years, George W. Bush refused to criticize Barack Obama.

“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president,” Mr. Bush explained to Fox News’s Sean Hannity in 2014, on why he refused to critique his successor’s policies. “I think it’s bad for the presidency, for that matter.”

Yet one month into President Donald Trump’s presidency, Mr. Bush decided it was OK to offer a critique of the former real estate mogul.

Hmmm. I wonder if “Republicans” like Dana PeRINO will stick up for the current Republican President?

You can take Kasich, Jeb, Brother Bush, McCAin and probably the Little Marco too, and flush them down the toilet.

I think the more push back we get from this bunch the more Trump’s bass likes him.

Two bushes, a horndog and a usurper gave us 28 years worth of bad presidents (bp). The busher are responsible for almost 43% of that badness. All four bps should stay in the past.

Going after Saddam and Iraq was the worst mistake made by any administration at any time and that’s really saying something.

The results of removing Saddam with to few troops to occupy Iraq were predictable. Bush was warned that it would all go south but Bush had a score to settle.

Saddam tried to assassinate W daddy. The Iraq war was all about pay back for Saddam trying to kill HW Bush. It had nothing to do with WMDs, that WMD thing was an just an excuse. George W Bush put the interest of his family above the interests of his country. The Bushes are all about family over country.

Admittedly President Bush has had me scratching my head these past 8 years (aka WTF! moments)

Still I do not regret voting for him (twice) and will stand behind those votes until the day I die.

2000 Al Gore.
2004 John Kerry

No telling where would be had either won. President PIAPS might have become reality.

IT was meant to be sarcastic, but that didn’t penetrate your rectitis-addled brain. It is, then, you who have a problem.

Sorry his class act ended when he opened his mouth about Trump. All this showed me is that Bush for all his talk is a liberal first and a Republican second, don’t look for the conservative choice, it’s long gone and never existed.

The Bush’s just need to go away, they have made their money and done their damage, be gone and a pox on their house for two generations!

Bush damn sure let Mexicans in as in 2000 we had ZERO Hispanics working /helping build new homes across the street from me and all over my area. Starting about 2002-3 their were entire crews of roofers, framers, drywall, and even mason types. Bush damn sure opened us up to illegals.
