First off, I never liked the guy, but I've been thinking about this a long time. Criticized for years by Obama, he's never said a word in his own defense (so far as I know). I think this shows great restraint on his part and true "presidential" stature.
On the other hand, I take away points every time I hear Obama talk about the problems he inherited from Bush. Obama has certainly gone the wrong way on the national debt and things just aren't getting any better with him.

I haven't heard Obama mention Bush since 2008.

GWB was a bad president and screwed a lot of stuff up but he's got more class on a bad day than Obama could dream of having in an entire lifetime. GWB is enjoying being out of DC, I know I sure would.

Tune in to radio and tv, Obama is at it regularly.

With the wreckage he left in his wake, it's wise for Bush to keep his yap shut.
I just wish crooked Clinton would emulate him.

I suspect good ol' GW is hanging at the ranch, basking in the glory of raking up billions of dollars for his cronies, and watching President Obama smirking. Yes, he's left a mess that no President could clean up in one session, and he's happy to see that his party has the Congress tied up tighter than a calf at ropin' time -- and you know what happens to roped calves.

Poor President Obama, he gets all the dirty work done while the GOP sits on their bottoms poking him with their lobbyist funded rhetoric, and their party supporters don't even realize they are taking food from their own tables to support them.

Yea, GW, raise that beer to the screen and have another bite of steak. You've totally hosed the American economy and there isn't a darned thing anyone can do about it.

That has been the tradition for the office....until obama's disgusting unprecedented rhetoric for his predecessor.

He is so alien, other, outside the norm, to what this country has expected of their president.
