Posted By Eagle_Eye 5 months ago in Political News
Describing her husband as "very gracious," former first lady Laura Bush said he would maintain his silence on the policies and practices of the Obama administration.
"George feels like, as a former president, that he owes President Obama his silence on issues, and that there's no reason to second-guess any decisions that he makes," Mrs. Bush said of former President George W. Bush in an interview broadcast Monday on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

Well said Mrs. Bush, now if the rest of the GOP would just follow your example we may be able to fix America and stop all the petty bickering....-

You know ... I've always recognized the goodness in this man.

It's clear he's a real people person - and I have always thought he has a certain 'personal integrity' ... in the sense that ... if I shook his hand on a deal ... I believe he would back that up.
The problem is ... he got mixed up with the 'wrong crowd'.
I believe he trusted people around him too much. Especially Dick Cheney.
If you notice who he brought into his Cabinet ... they were all very hard line, rigid Neo-Conservatives ...
I'm talking Neo-Conservatives who were the initial founders of the movement ... these guys were HARD CORE.
This is one of the most concise encapsulations of what the Neo-Conservatives in Bush's cabinet believed ... and how they governed.

These are the Ideologues who pushed Colin Powell out.
.
Interestingly ... while they desire to more freely employ war in place of diplomacy ... these guys chose NOT to serve their nation in uniform. But they don't mind sending YOURS and MY children into battle.

The only thing i found wrong with the interview was that she made excuses for Cheney.. The Bushies don't owe Cheney anything at this point, wrong is wrong, and it's not her job to defend him.

I was told long ago that if I couldn't say something positive about a person, then I shouldn't say anything at all. While I haven't always followed that advice well (especially here at Propeller), I'm going to try to do a better job of it starting now. :-)

Bill was too busy with his global initiative and library where he has done more good than Dumya in 8 years as president! Dumya...... everything he touched turned to shiiiit, backed up unanimously by the repugs in Congress... same repugs who argue the same failed policies now against Obama!

Former President Bush is following the path of most ex presidents in this regard. They usually try very hard to stay out of the limelight for at least the first year or two and are very refrained when it comes to criticisms of the newly elected president. Bush is showing a continuation of the tradition and Dick Cheney is clearly not.

When Al Gore left as V.P in 2001, he was absent from the political stage for over 18 months at which time he gave a speech about his concerns about invading Iraq. -

When the Bush Administration came into office, it did very little to directly smear the Clinton Administration.
Reply
It is perfectly reasonable for Cheney to speak up while Bush does not. After all, Obama kept trotting out the "It's the Bush Administration's Fault" line over and over and over for every ill, real and imagined. So, who better to properly refute that sort of all-inclusive smear than Dick Cheney? In fact, he has done us all a very big favor by doing so.-

I read the GAO report the white house pushed for.
Reply
Maybe I have a strange sense of humor but I laughed so hard, tears came from my eyes.
The white house kept sending the report back to them and they kept embellishing it with GAO speak till it reached more than of 100 pages for "can't you think of any thing better for us to do?".
There where at least 15 pages devoted to trying to get an exact count on how many "W" keys where missing. They concluded that the amount was somewhere between 1 and 16: and although they interviewed more than 1500 people and spent many hours personally surveying the damages they could not (while using standard audit procedure) narrow the damage down any further than that.
There where about 10 pages of memos back and forth from Gonzales, who was strongly encouraging them to include the "dirty" word (that was on a piece of paper in a drawer) in the report.
I read the report aloud to my kids, after dinner one night.
I can not remember our family laughing so hard.
I have nothing but good things to say about Laura Bush.
