Bush: Obama Is Doing Just Fine
You probably wouldn’t expect former President George W. Bush, in his first speech since leaving office, to praise his successor.
But that’s exactly what he did Tuesday.
In a folksy address to 1,400 people in Canada, he expressed confidence in President Obama’s ability to mend the economy and financial system, Jason Enns, a financial advisor who attended the speech, told Bloomberg. Media weren’t allowed at the event.
“He told us: ‘Wall Street had a big party and now we’re dealing with their hangover,’” Enns says.
Enns said Bush told the audience that he expects Obama will do a “fantastic job” and that he will provide help and advice if Obama asks for it.
Bush told the crowd in Calgary, which is the base for much of Canada’s oil and natural gas industry, that the U.S. will need the crude extracted from northern Alberta’s oil sands, the largest reserves outside the Middle East, Enns said.

Oh, gee, I'd probably start by pointing to the defections of guys whose demonstrably self-destructive approach to politics is illustrated, as follows:
I'm a Bush critic from way back. I didn't much care for his "Read My Lips" dad and really hated the way Junior's watch went.
The cool thing about this graphic is that when people see it, they think their private information (like their city or IP address) is being publicly shown on...When you see the graphic, you will see your IP. When others see the graphic, they will see their IP.

That is so cool!
{meandog, see what kind of subversive crap you elicit?}
Just sayin'...
Well... I just don’t want to accidently type something that gets me zotted to a crisp is all im saying.
“I’m not going to spend my time criticizing him. There are plenty of critics in the arena,” Bush said. “He deserves my silence.”

Well you know that BDS applies to those republicans who refuse to see Bush-O-socialist as he really is, a SOCIALIST. Refusing to see and accept the truth = BDS.
Whew! Thank goodness. For a minute there I thought 0bobblehead was going to be bad for America. All hail Teleprompter Jesus!!!
As a past President he has to take the high road...so good for him.
Ping to read at home.
If Bush thinks BAM is doing fine and America thinks Bush can’t tell his a$$ from a hole in the ground ...
How does that translate to how Obama is really doing?
“Obama is doing just fine” is the title of this article. It’s not something Bush actually said during the speech. He said that there are plenty of people that will speak against Obama but that Obama deserves Bush’s silence.
That sorta makes it clear that he thinks there are problems but he will let others point them out.
Not neccesarily lying, but everyone has their own interpretation of what someone else said and they often use their own words when they relate it rather than an exact quote.
C’mon, Merlinator, GW said things at the Clinton library opening about the creepy Bill and Hillary that made me vomit, and spouted accoldes that any half-intelligent person “knew” was pabulum. If he didn’t say this about BO, it surely sounds like him! Cordially, Bob
