When was that? Sources, please.
I see you are relentlessly defending the Statist Bush. You must be a GOPe puke.
Bush recently criticized Conservatives for railing on Obama about his golf outings.
I would dare say 99% of his former staff have publicly expressed white-hot hatred for the Tea Party and Conservatives. ( I have no doubt they are in agreement with the Bush Clan).
No one can deny that both Bushes were Statists (ADA, Medicare Part-D, TARP, weak enforcement of the border, etc, etc)
Behind the scenes, Bush was furious when the conservatives and the people originally torpedoed TARP. I don’t remember exactly when, but Bush expressed at some point that conservatives cannot be satisfied.
Face it, the guy was an internationalist and progressive, and his failure to defend himself brought us Maobama. He didn’t defend the border guards or the Haditha 8. I do believe that he loves American troops in general, but when the going got tough, he abandoned the Haditha 8, not to mention Ramos and Compean. And he didn’t pardon Scooter Libby. Progressive legacy would not be kind, I suppose. I am sure that his wife had much to do with his Presidency turning into a disaster. Bob
