This makes sense to me, but I thought that the title was an attention grabber.

Bump.

[Yardstick]

Interesting.

White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said Bush has “been urging candidates: ‘Don’t get yourself too locked in where you stand right now. If you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically.’ ”

He is urging all the candidates not just Hillary Clinton, so the headline is total BS and it is very unfortunate that Mr. Simmons wrote such a headline.

Bush will have plenty of time to advise the next president after the election. What is with the big rush???

[I see my hands]

The Clintons' idea of transition was vandalizing the White House.

I think I’d rather see him give her the rope to hang herslf!

Viva Bush :(

That is Mr. Sammon not Mr. Simmons.

Title is definitely an attention grabber. Thanks for posting.

Read the whole article and you will realize that the headline is very misleading.

What makes him think they’ll listen? Screw’em. I don’t think he should be doing this.

Personally I think the parties are just taking turns at this point. They’re both headed in the same direction at different speeds.

Bush and company show once again that they’re the grown-ups in Washington.

"What is the big rush"

As the article says, he is advising her to modulate her campaign rhetoric.

[NittanyLion]

If true, that should earn the man additional respect. Good for him.

“What is with the big rush???”

He wants the Barking Moonbat (BM for short) wing of the Dems neutralized as quickly as possible. Having two adult political parties is better for the country than having just the one we have now.

I’m sure this is all true, and I’m told he’s provided her with the advance edition of the Rand-McNally atlas showing the NAFTA highway. It’s been rerouted through Hope, AR of course.

Bush wants enough continuity in his Iraq policy that “even a Democratic president...

To that end, Bush is institutionalizing controversial anti-terror programs so they can be used by the next president.

“Look, I’d like to make as many hard decisions as I can make, and do a lot of the heavy lifting prior to whoever my successor is,” Bush said.

Bush really is a grown-up.
