He's dropped out, like no other president in modern history.
His decision to lay low may be in part to his health, what with the scary heart issue he had, and it may be because he's not real popular with Democrats or Republicans.
Funny how all the right wing radio guys worshipped him, and therefore their listeners did as well, and said that anyone who opposed him was unpatriotic and gave aid and comfort to the enemy (Hannity used to say this regularly). So many of you went lock step with every misadventure he carried out and shilled for him on boards like this incessantly.
Most ex-Presidents retire from the public eye except for charitable events and private speaking engagements. You guys are looking through a Bill Clinton who just can't stay out of the limelight lens.
I think he feels guilty, he knows he F'd up (esp. in Iraq). Even his body language looks 'sorry.' And he was never at the level of a Clinton or Carter who stayed hard at work trying to help many of the world's problems after leaving office. Ultimately, GW Bush really was just a 'regular guy you might want to have a drink with' and nothing more (aside from being born into a rich family).
Me neither. It's been 7 years since this man left the highest office in the land, and he has made hardly any public appearances. In fact, you can count on one hand how many times he has been seen, and heard, in public.
I find this strange because he was practically worshipped by Republicans for 8 years, his deep Christian faith, his hawkish military adventurism in Iraq, and his defense of traditional marriage had the entire conservative base in the U.S. practically swoon on his every spoken word.
Now all you hear is the sound of crickets. Why is he not out firing up the base on behalf of his brother's flagging aspirations for President? Very, very strange that a man who once had rock star status with the conservative base is now completely forgotten.
Why is this?
Maybe he's staying the hell out of politics.
And I don't think Jesus Himself could resurrect Jeb's campaign.
Maybe he's been spending all his spare time in Iraq looking for all those WMD?
Those are in Syria, or Libya, or some other ME country with a y in it's name.
