I wonder how long it will be before it's alleged that Laura Bush is just a RINO now?

It's about time someone stood up against this storm of partisanship to state the obvious. The polarization is destructive for the country overall, regardless of which side you fall in line with. I doubt her comments will reach those who really need to hear it, since it went out over CNN instead of FOX, but maybe some will hear what she's saying and take a deep breath before going on their next illogical rant against whatever Obama does next. It really is disheartening how divided we've all become over such silliness as imagined conspiracies about birth certificates and school speeches.-

I've noticed that there's been an inexorable effort among the right on PRopeller to distance themselves from GW ... and support for Dick Cheney.

Looks like they are getting ready to throw George "Under The Bus" ... and this statement of reason from Laura will only expedite that effort.

and she actually knows how much of a mess Obama has on his hands, since she was living in the white house when the mess was created in the first place. -

Laura Bush was always a class act and truly a lady. Her graciousness should be praised. I'm sure she's also an intelligent woman. That being said, respectfully disagreeing with her assessment in this instance says nothing negative about anyone.-

Curiously ... the better Obama does ... the better for George W. Bush's legacy.

The way things stand now ... he presided over the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression ... the quicker BO can extricate the nation from that calamity ... the less oppressive will be the memory of GW's tenure.
