Even as you cough, I would take President Bush back in a New York minute rather than that person (I use the term lightly, who does even rises to the level of slime) in the office of the president we have now.
Mr. Bush weighed in on some of the most pressing issues of the day: the election in Iran, the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, and his administration's interrogation policies of terrorists held there and elsewhere. The former president has not commented on Mr. Obama's decision to ban "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding, which the current president has called "off course" and "based on fear."
"The way I decided to address the problem was twofold: One, use every technique and tool within the law to bring terrorists to justice before they strike again," he said, adding that the country needs to stay on offense, not defense.
On Guantanamo, which while in office Mr. Bush said he wanted to close, the former president was diplomatic.
"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," he said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that - persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."

Classy and correct as ever. SO miss him.
Bush's indifference toward fiscal conservatism largely led to the mess we have now.
I'll bet that we'll see a proliferation of "I miss Dubya" bumper stickers before Marxist Obama's assault on freedom and business and jobs and our way of life is complete.
You and me both!!!!!

I would be glad to have him back. We may never recover from BO
