While we’ve had The Worst President Ever, Jimmy Carter (soon to be relegated to #2 by Obama), and Bill Clinton running around the country and world slamming Bush (and, in some cases, America), plus failed candidate Al Gore, Bush has taken a different tactic
Former U.S. President George W. Bush says he has no plans to stump for votes or campaign funds for Republican candidates.
Bush told C-Span he would like to “regain anonymity,” Politico reported Friday. The interview is to be aired this weekend.
Bush has granted few interviews since he left office two years ago, although he has been somewhat more forthcoming since the publication of his memoir, “Decision Points.”
“I don’t want to be on these talk shows giving my opinion, second-guessing the current president,” he said. “I think it’s bad for the country, frankly, to have a former president criticize his successor. It’s tough enough to be president as it is without a former president undermining the current president.”
Now imagine what Obama will do when he is “promoted to customer” in 2012, and sitting around in 2013. Think he will keep quiet?
PS: Apparently, that headline is the exact phrase that spambots like. Between 11pm Saturday night and 9pm Sunday night, there were over 500 trackback spams in the WP spam que. Sheesh!
