Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 03/06/2018 7:30:04 AM PST by fireman15

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source. The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos. "Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " the Journal reported. "He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison You can go F*** yourself you pathetic @$$hole. You didn't say a F***ing word about that ignorant piece of sh*t Obama who utterly screwed up everything he got his arrogant little hands on, but you have the gall to criticize a President who is actually working to fix the mess you and Obama-Idiot caused?

Go away Mr. Bush. Your family has done enough to make our nation less safe and less prosperous.

“These people make me loathe myself - for voting TWICE for that idiot!”

I voted for him twice myself. He gave me the political sniffles later in his first term. He started to make me violently ill right after he was reelected. By the end of his Presidency, I flat out couldn’t get excited about any politician ever again ... until recently of course. Still, I temper my expectations since DC does strange things to what seem like good people. Then again, they probably weren’t good to begin with.

I never got why some Freepers couldn’t stand Bush in the early days of the 2000 campaign (they weren’t supporting McCain ... they just didn’t like Bush). I was admittedly younger and stupider back then. It’s crystal clear to me now and those those Freepers that criticized the Bush clan were 150% right :-).

Sorry Senor Presidente Arbusto ... you’re making the frigging Obama Administration look good these days you backstabbing, lying fraud.

I don’t care how things look from the perspective of a RINO who spent his term betraying his own voter base.

As did his father.

“Makes me hate my handle more and more every time I think of him. Gosh, I wish I could change it...”

Look at it this way ... at least it triggers liberals when they see it :-).

Shut up, George.

You’ve managed to do the impossible.
Convince me that Michael Moore was probably
right about you.

“I can’t believe I spent the better part of 8 years defending this asshat.”

We all did. Everyone on Free Republic put him up on a pedestal and loved him big time as President. Wow.....we were really stupid.

GWB and his father can’t stand Trump because Trump knocked out their beloved Yeb! from the contest. They thought Yeb! was the natural succession and was entitled to it, and they will never forgive Trump from denying Yeb! that role.

"...I loved this man and thought his handling of 9/11 was legendary. However, as more time goes by, I’m left with nothing but hatred for this douche and strongly believe he is part of the Cabal which leads me to question whether 9/11 was a huge false flag to heat up the Middle East. The fact that I am actually questioning whether a whacky conspiracy theory is true makes me hate W even more..."

Yep.

But I have to pray for the Bushes because Christ tells us we are to pray for our enemies.

The friendship of George W. Bush and Michelle Obama

Over the past eight years, former President George W. Bush and First Lady Michelle Obama have been seen becoming increasingly chummy. At public events, the two can often be found sitting next to each other, sharing a laugh or lending a hand to hold.

Saturday's ceremony was no exception. During the event, Obama reached over and grabbed Bush into a hug as their spouses clapped and looked on.

Bush says no (Pardon) to Ramos and Compean (instead he commuted their prison sentences)

United States President George W. Bush does not plan to pardon Border Guards Ramos and Compean, stating he is ‘good friends’ with U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. He went on to say the border guards were “convicted by a jury of their peers”. Yeah, and so was Lewis Scooter Libby, Mr. Prez. Funding is down in the Republican party because you have not listened to the voters on illegal immigration......

“What a disappointment he has become.”

Yeah, he had me fooled in 2000 and 2004; by 2006, however, I was having my doubts; a year later, I had serious doubts; by 2008, I was ready for his term to end. Still, for a few years after that I still had some respect for the guy; now, even that is gone.

As always with swamp creatures — FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Hussein did not threaten the Bush clan’s cash flow. Trump does.

How?

Has to be fake news. I’ve never witnessed this level of self awareness in a shrub.

We should have looked closer at the Bush wives. The Bush men were weakened by them in social issues.

Barb and Laura never felt compelled to hide their UniParty views. That’s just how indulged, privileged and elitist these two prigs had become by the time they waddled into the White House.

Their Pro Abortion advocacy was thought to be actually cute, for two Republican First Ladies to be heard disagreeing with their hubbies. Blech!

Two moral vacuums with no conscience.

At least, that's what his Mom and Dad tell him.

He looked at the portrait of Trump in the living room and mistook it for his mirror.
