Both Cheney and Bush are afraid if there is too much draw to them they might find themselves in a world court charged with terrorism or other appropriate crimes. These nut cases got the US into two unfunded wars. The American people will be paying for those unfunded and unfounded wars for decades to come. Both Cheney and Bush are responsible for the loss of 1 million Iraqi's lives, at least 7000 American lives, and countless injured and disabled.
The best thing GW Bush could do for the US is to hide and never be seen or heard again.
wow
uhm the wars were funded...

I think that it's both too. He probably would like to campaign, but is "taking one for the team" because he was such a total failure and would stain the Repub brand.
I think he is smart enough to have witnessed Obama's propensity for blaming the Bush presidency for everything, and Bush wishes this election to be won or lost on Obama's record.
Any examples you can offer of his "humanitarian work"? I ask because I haven't seen mention of that before. Easily overlooked, I'm supposing ... but interesting (to me) to know about. Thanks.
would his work with folks with AIDS, especially in Africa be an example of humanitarian works? How about the recent trip to Africa he and his wife made? That was all over some news outlets at the time.

You wouldn't vote for a Republican with or without Bush so I guess that stain wouldn't affect you, much.
His Dad never commented on his Presidency and I think he just has the good sense to realize it would be inapproriate to comment on others. I don't think he's ashamed, as much as I disagreed with his decisons I never doubted he believed in his heart he was doing the right thing.
I agree with this. I also think he is just sick of politics and doesn't want any part in them anymore and I can't blame him. I hope he's enjoying his retirement.
I saw his wife recently on a news program regarding HIV/AIDS funding and how Bush went to Africa recently and did a lot of hands on work. They had pics of him and he looked happy. He looked very stressful during his presidency and I'm sure he's rather not be stressed anymore as he's had enough to last a lifetime. I imagine that Obama will be the same if he is not elected again or after his second term.
Only guys like Clinton, who enjoy the limelight seem to want to inject themselves into current events.
Bush was just sick of politics. A recent quote said something to the effect of "I got out of that swamp, I have no intention of going back into it or near it."
Now he can finally relax after years and years of being in politics, I can't say I'm surprised that he's kept a low profile. He just sticks to his ranch, his family, and humanitarian work.
Agreed........
