George W. Bush Bashes Cheney, Rumsfeld: ‘They Didn’t Make One F****** Decision’
Breitbart ^ | 11-6-2017 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 11/06/2017 6:50:00 AM PST by blam

Former President George W. Bush went off on his former vice president and defense secretary, stating bluntly that “they did not make one f****** decision.” Bush made the inflammatory remark about his former colleagues in Mark K. Updegrove’s book The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which is scheduled to be released November 14.

The 43rd president pushed back against critics who claim he did not make major decisions during his presidency, and that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made most of the important decisions in the White House.

They “didn’t make one f****** decision,” Bush claimed. “The fact that there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about who the president was, blows my mind.”

Updegrove’s book describes the relationship between the younger Bush and his father, but his book is making headlines ahead of its November 14 release.

Other excerpts from the book that are already public quote both former presidents making disparaging statements about President Trump.

The elder Bush attacked Trump’s leadership style and called the current president a “blowhard.”

The younger Bush also made his disdain for Trump known recently in an October speech at the George W. Bush Institute, where he rejected Trump’s ideology and defended globalism.

Must be. I’ve never noticed W. using that kind of rhetoric before.

Wish GW had gone after the media like he’s going after other Repubs.

What has happened to the Bush men??? The more they sound off, the less respect they deserve. Guess that’s what happens when the brain deteriorates.

Seems to me they were always aligned with the Clintons and whoever it is they all work for. It was a secret that’s now coming out

“W” did not veto a single bill sent to his desk.

I think the one last thing most people admired about W was his calm, strong demeanor. Oh well.

George W. Bush has revealed himself as the idiot the Left always claimed him to be. The Leftists were like the clock that's not working but is right twice a day; in this case, George W. and George H. W.--both idiots.

The Bushes have revealed that they are every bit as bad as the Clintons, maybe not so sleazy, or maybe they just cover it up more skillfully.

I should have known this when the Bushes and the Clintons were so cozy a few years ago. I didn't penetrate the Bushes' skillful deception then, but they have revealed it now, and decent Americans will never be fooled by them again.

Also, what is going on in Saudi Arabia is hitting the Bushes hard.

All their ties were with the old guard, not the revolutionaries.

Who knows what we might learn about the Bushes once the old guard is removed.

So Bush did all the stupid stuff his administration did all by himself?

He was just too feeble-minded to know they did. He was without a doubt easily manipulated and thought decisions were his own.

“What has happened to the Bush men?”

It would seem that they have lost touch with whatever amount of being in sync with the avg joe that they might have have, at one time.

One of the many benefits of electing President Trump is that the traitorous New World Order totalitarian globalists have dropped their masks.

GWB is lazy and accomplished next to nothing on his own in life. Cheney’s too much of a globalist warmonger for me, but mygosh. Cheney was TOTALLY loyal to GWB. GWB’s true colors are showing through.
