My pleasure, Ohio. Not surprising the lib MSM is jumping all over President Bush for his lukewarm endorsement of Romney and his plans of releasing a book on the economy in July. They still can’t let go of their hatred for the man, can they?

Of course none of it matters to GW as goes about his way to do the things he cares about the most. He is a strong man who is not going to let the liberal attack dogs stop him from being an influential voice in human rights around the world and supporting the troops through the Warrior 100k bike ride and the Warrior Open golf tournament.

Pres. Bush is at a point in his life where he doesn’t need to be insert himself in the political arena and he’s perfectly happy with that!

The second article is about a film screening of a documentary on Aung San Suu Kyi that President and Laura Bush hosted last night in Dallas:

Former President George W. Bush - a day after telling a Washington audience that the U.S. should take a more active role in supporting democracy movements across the world - further defined the stakes Wednesday night in Dallas. "One of the dangers facing our country is that we don't care what happens in other places around the world," Bush said. "One of the lessons of 9/11 is that the human condition overseas matters to our national security. That's something we can't begin to forget."

The former president - whose namesake public policy institute is promoting its Freedom Collection, an online video archive of interviews with nonviolent dissidents - touched on his foreign policy views at a Bush Institute movie screening of "The Lady."
