CBS Sports ^ | August 3, 2016 | Reena Flores

Former President George W. Bush swiped indirectly at Donald Trump's "America first" foreign policy philosophy at a fundraising event Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Without specifically naming the Republican nominee, Bush criticized recent trends toward "isolationism, nativism and protectionism" in a discussion with approximately 400 guests. Bush made the disapproving comments at a private fundraiser in Cincinnati for Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, which raised $1 million in one day, according to a Portman spokesperson.

Does Bush understand that America First is not "isolationism, nativism and protectionism?" Putting America First simply means that we stop being naive when negotiating trade deals, etc.

This is why I’m enjoying the rumors about Poppy being involved with the JFK assassination. It must fall them that their legacy is being tarnished.

My Lord...who woke up this Twinkie? For years he did not refute all the lies, the misdirections, the utter contemptible derogatory statements stated agaist his administration.

Only now 'W' has found his voice, his backbone. His whole administration was about kowtowing to the 'uniparty'. George the dustbin of history is awaiting.

Treasonous idiot George Junior took his lips off of a Saudi Royal long enough to stammer something about the election.

I don't regret voting for him but he is a RINO and he is responsible for the third world invasion.

Shut up, Bush. Take your Jeb sour grapes and go home. You gave us Obama.


Bush did give us Obama.

Eight years of hiding under a rock in silence while Obama has run America into the ground and set the world in flames, but now he has to get his licks in on criticizing Donald Trump.

Bush sent the country to war and when you start a war in the Middle East or any place else for that matter, it's your responsibility to make sure it's finished properly, even if you are put of office.

Bush stood by and watched in silence as Obama intentionally handed Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and a host of other countries over to the Muslim Brotherhood , al Qaeda and Radical Islam.

Worse, Bush let Obama impose rules of engagement on our our Soldiers that made them defenseless sitting ducks.Our casualty rate doubled the month Obama took office.

I'm generally a strong GW Bush supporter but frankly, I could care less for what he has to say at this point and it's time for him to STFU.

Hey GW, stick to painting water colors of Barney.

You and your family were much better when they were hing in the shadows enabling the Obama Agenda.,

Old presidents are supposed to retire with dignity. Lately, they seem to have caught a case of big mouth disease starting with the second worse president ever, Jimmy Carter.

They all had their chance to cure the worlds problems and we still have those problems.

GW, you had your chance and blew it.

If Trump loses this election, GOPe politicians will be at least as much to blame as Democrats. And conservative voters will not forget it.
