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.

Bush only started vetoing bills once it was a Dem Congress sending them to his desk. GOP Congress could spend like crazy and he was fine with that.
At least GHW is dragging GW down with him. We won’t have to wait till he is 90 to find out what he is really like.
Right on. I guess the Patriot Act- spying on citizens, and the TSA, totally making air travel miserable for the little people, which went on to unionize, was part of the Protecting the Homeland Act? I can’t describe how much I hate the Bush family now.
I remember that. He was chastised for claiming he was going to control spending but never did veto anything.
What a Clymer!!!
GW seems insecure about being dumb.
I remember that year’s Thanksgiving, in which I was the only one saying the bailout was completely wrong. The media and almost all others seemed to think it was the best route forward.
It gave us an additional nine years of $1.1+ Trillion “budgets” that only filled Swamp pants pockets.
This all gets me so mad, I could spit.
A former POTUS should never use this kind of language and he’s old enough to know better.
Sounds like George is off the wagon again. This was supposed to be the summer of George!
Nah, the four-letter words in and of themselves, didn’t bother me. The way he snapped and claimed credit and shoved aside Cheney and Rumsfeld is what surprised me. Haven’t heard something like that from W. before.
LOL — The pictured “tippy-toes” instance was one of many that exposed what an empty suit the low-energy Yeb was. We are blessed that he is now forever gone from the national political scene.
.... and dumb about being insecure.
He didn’t lash out at 8 years of Obama criticizing his administration and policies.
SO I wonder why he presented himself as a Republican if he agrees with and voted for Democrats.
Didn’t think of that.
So, he never defends himself, never criticized Obama, but is now bashing Trump, Cheney and Rumsfeld?
He’s not the man his voters thought he was is he?
“One of the many benefits of electing President Trump is that the traitorous New World Order totalitarian globalists have dropped their masks”.
Excellent point. Their true colors are shining.
Wow....so we now know that it takes an American First, non-GLOBALIST, non-OPEN BORDERS President to get W & his RINO perv dad fired up.
Not a peep out of these globalists during 0’s eight years of Destroy America Reign of Terror, and NOW they pipe up.
I stand corrected.
Thanks !
