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.

Shame on him for publicly using the “F”word. To think he used to hold “Bible Studies” at the White House. This is the real W coming through.

Ann Coulter was right when she told him to stop acting like a NE WASP and start acting like a TEXAN

Dallas Texas 2006, during war time, under Republican George Bush.

500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas pushing foreign flags in our faces and while making demands and threats. All while Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House every year..During war time.

Ah, so my theory might be correct, aka, PDJT is a return to 1988, as he undo's all the Fubar's of the last 29 yrs, and those that did the Fubaring can't handle it.

We heard for 8 years that George W. Bush was just Dick Cheney’s puppet. If this is true then Patrick Fitzgerald was wasting his time with his witch hunt designed to bring down Dick Cheney.

As I have said many times in the past, members of the Republican and Democrat parties support the same policies, albeit for different reasons. Republicans and their paymasters the US Chamber of Commerce support unregulated immigration in pursuit of cheap labor, while Democrats support unregulated immigration to obtain more votes for Democrats, i.e., same policy, different reasons.

My cynical side also tends to believe there are almost as many progressive, globalist Republicans - John McCain, Bob Corker and their ilk come to mind - as there are progressive, globalist Democrats.

What has happened to the Bush men???

They're probably in the same place all the easily led, easily duped Bush fans went to.
