The first official reunion of the Bush-Cheney Alumni Association kicked off in Washington, DC today. The “closed-door” event was supposed to be Bush and Cheney’s first joint appearance together since leaving office, but the former vice president had to skip the festivities because of recent health problems.
At the breakfast today (view a picture of the gathering here), Bush talked about his upcoming memoir, joking, “This is going to come as quite a shock to people up here that I can write a book, much less read one.” He also said that Cheney was “feeling well” and “has a fierce constitution,” and according to attendee Gary Karr, Bush “gave an eloquent defense of the freedom agenda.” Bush also explained why he — unlike Cheney — has been relatively quiet about the job President Obama is doing:
I have no desire to see myself on television. I don’t want to be a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. … I’m trying to regain a sense of anonymity. I didn’t like it when a certain former president — and it wasn’t 41 or 42 — made my life miserable.
As USA Today notes, Bush is mostly likely talking about Jimmy Carter, since Ronald Reagan “was ill during Bush’s first term and passed away in 2004,” and Gerald Ford “stayed low-key until his death in 2006.” ...

“I remember reading a book by Barbara Bush and IIRC she too, complained about Carter.”
A member of the Reagan administration, don’t remember who, also said Pres. Carter “got snippy” about not receiving national security briefings.

By that time maybe we’ll know enough about him to send him back to his birth country.
I’m sorry but this picture makes it look like he is being greeted by the Teletubbies on a ship.
If you think Jimmah was bad.
Wait till 44 is unemployed....
This will be Jimmah on Steroids. (picture the offspring of Obama and Mark McGuire)
That’s what I told my wife. I said he’ll be gone but will never really go away.
W shouldn't feel singled out here. Carter, who was the absolute worst president of my lifetime up until our current Incompetent in Chief, had bad mouthed every president who came after him. The man is and always has been a vicious little prick who should have never been entrusted with any office, let alone POTUS.
Just wait until we have the three Nobel prize winning exes trying to run the country from the sidelines. Carter/Gore/Obama. The unholy trinity.
Given that Carter was in the pocket of the Palestinians I am thankful that he didn’t get briefings.
I doubt President Reagan if he wasn’t ill make trouble for George W Bush
Be believe in don’t critize main star on stage take
Ronald Reagan was easily the finest President of the 20th century and continues to be into the 21st century. No one else comes close...
Smurfs?
Bush is a class act ! He acts like he’s our friend... BECAUSE HE IS !
I work in the office of a big manufacturing facility. I cannot make them understand.... here... that we can train anyone to do a job, but we can’t train them to be “Good people” if they aren’t already......
The US needs to realize that too.....
Bush... is GOOD PEOPLE !
No amount of training is going to help with what we have now. *sad face*
For all his “New World Oder” infatuation, his deliberate deception about “Islam is a religion of peace”, ad nauseam,Bush understood well what the Obassiah never learned - “Turns out there was a reason, Treason’s out of season”.
Tom Lehrer, 1960’s.
Close enough quote, anyway. ;-)
I’d love to hear “W” speak out against Bam whose blaming all the country’s problems on him. “W’ was a decent guy but lost a lot of momentum in his last four years by listening to too many Rinos. Can’t forget old man Bush opened the door for Clinton and “W” did the same for Bam.
DECEPTION AS A PRINCIPLE OF GOVERANCE (and, too frequently at FR, a principle of argument):
