In 2010 Bush doubled down on his critics in the tea party as i recall. He spoke too much on tv too. Finally when he was ending his book extravaganza he said that would be the last he would say anything else about his time as president and that he was done being in the limelight. Bush seems happy out of the spotlight now.
I dont recall that.
I vividly remember Laura Bush's 2010 book tour where she said she supports abortion (er right to choose) and gay marriage or something close.
I dont remember GWB doing similar.
