"Bush says he won't criticize Obama"

He never did before, why start now?

At least he's being consistent, hey: when 0bama is an ex-President, maybe he can join Bill Clinton as GWB's 'other brother', eh?

One big happy family. Gotta love it.

Bush has long since painted himself into a corner. He seldom defended his own policies effectively when he was in office, so it would seem gratuitous for him to begin to criticize Obama now that he is out.

Besides, his re-appearance on the public stage at this point would give the 'rats a perfect excuse to distract the public's attention and direct it toward Bush and his policies once more. He would become the issue, not Obama, which is exactly the opposite of what this country needs.

Bush doesn’t need to attack obama directly; why bother, the American public knows now barry’s an idiot. Be the better man and attack obama and his ilk’s stupid socialist ideas buy supporting the opposite. Bush should come out to support the American people’s desire to maintain their political, personal and economic rights via strict observation of the US Constitution. He doesn’t need to do more than that. Yes, Bush was a disappointment in many areas, but no one could argue he is equal to obama. No way.

That’s just great - to be a Christian and not talk bad about anybody. Well, the Bible also tells us to fight evil. We are stuck with Obama now because these RINOs refuse to “talk bad” about him. Are you supposed to sit back and let your country go to hell?

There is a desperate dearth in this country of leaders with the spine to call out evil to it’s face.

Perhaps President Bush has something that is lacking on the DEM side: Class

Perhaps he also belive the old adage: Give [your enemy] enough rope and eventually he’ll hang himself.

I’m glad President Bush isn’t going to do a “Carter” and run around spouting off. It’s not like it would do any good anyway, the media worships the buffoon Carter, but President Bush would only get more of the same from the media that he got while in office.

You would think by now George W. would be tired of being treated as a door mat. Grow a pair, Mr. President, and expose Obama for the fraud he really is.

Oh how wonderful of him, he is soooo decent!/Sar I call it being CS. Bozo is ruining the country and Bush can’t criticize him, although he did say it was ok for Cheney to do it.

I constantly criticized W for not defending himself while he was President, but I won’t criticize former President Bush for showing class and keeping his mouth shut.

IBD: How about those who argue that we can use government to move society in a more conservative direction, like compassionate conservatism? Do they suffer from the vision of the anointed?

Sowell: To some extent, yes. Compassionate conservatism meant that Republicans added to the housing problems created by the Democrats rather than mitigating them.

George W. Bush, for example, was for a law that allowed the Federal Housing Administration to do away with nuisances like down payments on houses. And even his father was for the notion that the federal government should intervene if there were statistical differences among groups in housing or mortgage approvals.

These are people who seem to think that the way to be clever politically is to accept some of the premises of Democrats but reach different conclusions. But if you accept the premises, in many cases you’ve accepted the conclusions.

I hope President Bush does keep a low profile. It’s the right thing to do now for a former president. We’ve got plenty of other people that can take them on. (Hope VP Cheney is around for a many more years.) I do wish President Bush would have taken their lies and destruction on when he was in office though.

Pres. Bush is a Statesman.

I prefer those in the White House over the tawdry party politics hacks from the Dem side.
