DALLAS — When the executive director of former President George W. Bush’s public policy institute decided to move on recently, he stopped by for an exit interview. Mr. Bush asked if he had anything in particular he wanted to talk about.
Nothing specific, said James K. Glassman, the departing director.
“O.K.,” Mr. Bush replied, “I want to talk about painting.”
After early self-portraits in the shower and then dozens of paintings of dogs and cats, Mr. Bush, it seems, has now moved on to world leaders. He told Mr. Glassman that he wanted to produce portraits of 19 foreign presidents and prime ministers he worked with during his time in the White House.
Nearly five years after leaving office, the nation’s 43rd president lives a life of self-imposed exile in Texas, more interested in painting than politics, recovering from a heart scare, privately worried about the rise of the Tea Party, golfing with fervor, bicycling with wounded veterans and enjoying a modest revival in public opinion. While Bill Clinton criticizes Republicans on the campaign trail and Dick Cheney chastises the current administration on his book tour, Mr. Bush resolutely stays out of the public debate.

And Jeb Bush’s wife is yet another lazy butt RINO wife.
I'll bet her kids are lousy barflies, too! socialists! new world orderers! war mongers!
Seems so.
Jeb does show signs of not falling in line with Michelle’s healthy eating. But that may be the peril of making illegal aliens do all your cooking. Do you know they put a lot of lard in that masa?
you mean he’s FAT on top of being a commie pig?!?! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!
Medicare Part-D.
Would any Founder endorse Medicare Part-D or No Child Left Behind?
Nixon created the EPA through executive order. Look how it has morphed into a cancer on our economy.
Medicare Part-D like all other "good intentioned" plans will, over time, morph into a cancer.
I stand 100% by my statement: Bush was a raving Socialist. :)
I have studied von Mises and Friedman extensively. I know exactly what the terms mean.
If Bush was, as you say, a “raving Socialist”, then shouldn’t the Democratic Socialists of America (http://www.dsausa.org/) claim him as one of their own?
It would be of no value to them to claim him. They benefit more by calling him a heartless Conservative.
The Marxists knew that under Bush that State Power would vastly increase. They benefited from that.
The Bush family all worship at the Alter of State Power.
I am certain that to a man and woman in that clan, they view Conservatives as closed minded and "living in the past."
We are about to lose our Republic and in light of that fact no Bush would even believe such.
The ruling class of both parties are all about raw power.
Enjoying your victory celebration over the turnover of the VA governorship to Hillary Clinton? You and Rove still hung over?
are you still delusional?
Look, I know the world seems less scary when you blame events that you don't like or don't understand on sinister figments of your imagination, but you need to work very hard on "enemy identification". the enemy is the folks that just hijacked your healthcare. you need to understand that, and you obviously don't.
it's simply traitorous to shoot your allies in the back because you are too stupid, too blind, or simply too angry to identify who the real enemy is.
