The two most recent presidents on Thursday blasted the state of US politics in events that were separated by less than 20 miles.
First, it was former President George W. Bush. The most recent former Republican president lambasted a political culture that caused "bigotry" to seem "emboldened." The public comments were Bush's most pointed since President Donald Trump took office in January.
"In recent decades, public confidence in our institutions has declined," the 43rd president said at an event in New York hosted by his namesake institute. "Our governing class has often been paralyzed in the face of obvious and pressing needs. The American dream of upward mobility seems out of reach for some who feel left behind in a changing economy. Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts. Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."
The forum was branded as being "focused on freedom, free markets, and security." It featured speakers such as former first lady Laura Bush, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. And Bush provided a substantial condemnation of the state of US politics.

I truly regret ever supporting George W. Bush...I certainly will NEVER support another Bush ever again...
In fact I'll work against every Bush in the future...THEY ARE HISTORY.
AS FOR HUSSEIN O. HE CAN RETURN TO AFRICA..THE SOONER THE BETTER.
May they both suffer shame and humiliation.

Burning in hell would be nice, too.
You know...the Uniparty and.....errr....wait.....
Bush and Obama criticize Trump for cleaning up the mess they made.
That troubles them more than anything else in the world.
There’s nothing wrong with America but plenty wrong with them.
That says it all.
Can you say PLANNED, at least spread it out where it looks like its not coordinated
As far as Barry Bath House goes, he’s toast and he knows it...
Then there is the Bushy...anyone who has read: “Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family” knows about the drugs with the Clintons and other things that have been going on between the two families...’joined by the hip by another mother’ they are...the ONLY reason Bushy opened his trap today was to take pressure off the Uranium deal and Hillary Hag...he has his mitts involved in that deal also!!!
But he is so tall.............especially on his tip toes.
Obama doesn’t bother me———it was expected———but Bush?
What an absolute disgrace.
.
The Republicrat party, “reaching across the aisle” to...itself.
I walked away from Jorge in 2004 & never looked back along with most of the rest of the GOP. These 2 scumbags....Bush & Obama made sure this attack on Trump was delivered on the same day along with ALL the mainstream media running with the fake news about the Trump phone call.
New world order. Those three word told it all.
Perhaps if the media would stop being in super hostile 24/7 over the top hyperbole mode, things would not be divisive.
I know - it's a tough pill to swallow. Betrayal is never easy.
