G.W. Bush: Obama 'deserves my silence'

Bush is right when he says that his book will be an "authoritarian," rather than authoritative, "voice." In fact, that was the whole problem with his administration.

A real gentleman. Unlike our current President who has,along with most liberals have ruthlessly attack President Bush for most everything that has gone wrong in America and the rest of the world. And then there's our senile President from Georgia, who has no room to criticize anyone, but I do give him excellent marks for his work in providing housing to the less fortunate,

Classy! Can't say the same about his successor.

Clearly, Bush has more class than Cheney. I'm absolutely no fan of Bush, and feel that he was a miserable president. However, it takes a big person to not follow the lead of the GOP and jump on the bandwagon to criticize Obama.

Did he really say "authoritarian voice"? Freudian slip...

Is that same trick he tried with the court of public opinion? Did the American People deserve his silence?

We ALL deserve his silence, for years to come.

"My first speech.....I couldn't think of a better place to give it than Calgary, Canada."

'nuff said.

I hope your next speech is from The Hague.

Bush and his derelict administration were well warned about a terrorist attack against the United States and did nothing. Credible intelligence was provided by the outgoing Clinton administration, Israel, England, and other countries about the attack. On 9/11, Bush appeared to be in a stupor, Cheney was hurried off to a super secret undisclosed location where he remained for weeks, and H.W. Bush was enjoying breakfast with members of the bin Laden family at the Ritz Carlton in Washington, DC. Bush then told us all that Saddam Hussein was involved in the attack.
And by the way, Bush is very very unpopular in Canada and many other countries. I'm surprised he was even allowed into Canada.

Paul: Save your fake outrage. This is normal for presidents. They leave and stay silent of criticism. This is nothing new.

And guess what. Bush did, um, sort of, break the country.

That's the smartest thing he's said in his entire political career.

Whatever one may think of his actions while in office . . . both in his complete lack of recriminations toward his critics throughout his presidency, and in these comments above, George W. Bush is a class act.

Texas of the North? I thought Texas was called Alberta of the South!!

W is cool

Bush, like his father, is a class act. His father never criticized Clinton, tho there were mega-opportunities. Unlike Bush, however, Obama and his Teleprompter never fail to try to lay the blame for all of Obama's mistakes to his predecessor.

George Bush has finally decided to be a man and show some human grace.

This is news.

If Jimmy Carter can be rehabilitated, a guy who left office with lower approval ratings than GW, then anyone can.

Good for former President Bush on remaining silent on President Obama. Cheney should have done the same thing. When Bill Clinton was elected President the Elder Bush was also silent on his successor. Barbara Bush once commented that she and her husband knew that the job of being President is difficult and the new leader, Bill Clinton, did not need a former President and his wife putting in their two cents on his actions. Although many Left Wing Crazies out there hate Bush the Younger he did show that he has class.

Good to see that Bush has more class than his nefarious VP.

Ms. Askin should ask herself what President Bush did to keep EVERYONE safe on this continent...her disrespect for our President is shameful. I am proud to be an American...and of President George W. Bush.

Here is a man with class.

If anyone had reason for namecalling he does and did not.

The Democrats could take a few lessons from George W.

Thank you Mr. President.

Bush could have whined 24/7 about the recession that he inherited, he remained silent.

He just forced Congress to fix it.

The guy has class.

The new guy, not so sure.

Now we know W stands for: Worst President Ever.

By agreement, the Cathedral at Cologne was not bombed in WW II.

Allies got to use it as a navigational aid; Germans preserved Gothic masterpiece and at least a shred of their historical patrimony.

Seems like this is W's offer of a similar agreement.

Because there is plenty of fault to be laid at his door.

He's hoping & praying that Barack will resist the temptation to point that out every time the occasion arises, which would be daily.

George W Bush, one of the greatest patriots and american presidents!!!!

He wants to put people in his place? Why would anybody want to be President of the United States of America and be a PUPPET of the Vice President?

It is a sad day when George W. Bush is an example of good behavior. I only wish he could get more Republicans (especially congressional republicans) to understand that it is more important to support our country right now that it is to promote your political party. Unless they have something constructive (like a plan of thier own) to offer right now, I don't think now is the time to air it.

Hmmm. Could it be that, separated from Cheney, he's not really a bad guy?

We ALL deserve his silence, for years to come.

I'd make exception for Bush's giving testimony should he be investigated.

Hopefully, President Hussein can shut his mouth and stop blaming Bush for all of his problems. Besides Hussein or Barry is creating more problems with all his executive orders for the future of America.

Yes. So unlike, then, the Republicans who graciously refrained from criticizing Clinton and Carter for the ills during Bush's regime? PLEASE. I'm trying to keep breakfast down. You're a CLEAR case of the cheap, almost-non-stick, Target-on-sale, factory-reject, too-small frypan calling the Calphalon black. Bush is a gentleman like Jack the Ripper was a gentleman and whatever he's getting now, he MORE than deserves. We'll quit criticizing him AFTER we're done cleaning up the mess he left behind him.

If nothing else, Bush does respect the office and you have to give him props for that. He may have been a bad president, but he's not evil nor as partisan as some think he is (though some in his administration were). I recommend Woodward's book "The War Within"...it doesn't make Bush look like a better leader but it does humanize him a bit.

We ALL deserve Bush's silence.

"I actually paid for a house last fall,'' he quipped. "I think I'm the only American to have bought a house in the fall of 2008.''

If GWB thinks that is funny, he hasn't learned anything since performing that skit 'looking' for WMDs in 2004. Not surprised, just a tad disappointed.

Go ahead W. Open your mouth. I triple dog dare you!
Just a word of authoritarian advice for you and Darth. Don't go away mad, just go away. And a word to the media. Stop giving these losers the air time and print space.

Wow. Looks like George Bush has much more grace and class than Clinton. Carter. Oh, just go ahead and throw in the entire dispicable democratic party and all their lunatic leftist supporters into having far less grace and class.

I, for one, am going to show the new idiot in charge just exactly what sort of classless behavoir I was taught by the filthy democrats over the last 8 years.

Enjoy it!

Smart people make good decisions, Mr. Bush was not a smart man. Look at the mess he and the war monger Cheney left us with !

dur dur durrrrr

It's a myth Greg....show me the two straight quarters of GDP decline to prove your point. This was a myth started by Sean Vannity and the liars at Faux News.

People may dislike him but hes a class act. Not to cut canada down but this shows why I have never have visited canada . A bunch of whinney little Bitch's

Melinie, Bush ALWAYS has been a good example of good behavior. Also, I do find it interesting that the Left says it is wrong to criticize the current president because "we should all come together," "we are facing difficult times and need to come together," and other such stuff. Too bad you Loons didn't follow that advice while Bush was president.

Bush should be advocating The Republic of Texas. But we don't want as President.

Well, to use your own words, we're giving back what we got, John D. You're right that we criticized Bush a lot (even then, he deserved more than he got), because it was our right to do so, and because we disagreed with what he was doing. And for it, we were given the kind of treatment YOU'RE getting now (you seem to have forgotten that li'l ole part, huh?). If you want to criticize Obama, by all means, HAVE AT IT. 'Twould be 100% your right. Just realize that doing so makes you a traitor and a terrorist sympathizer and an America-hater.

Bush, you idiot!! He blames you for everything. He will blame you 3 years from now and you remain silent? I'm sorry I voted for you--twice. You sold us true conservatives down the river with your moderate policies and I will never forgive you for that.

W. has shown what a class act he is; but then we should already know that.
President Teleprompter has shown what a class act he is by wanting to make wounded veterans pay for their service connected injuries using their own private insurance policy. Thus freeing up VA monies for President Teleprompter's favorite charities like Operation ACORN.

More than that, WE deserve his silence. After 8 years of listening to that empty-headed bit of fungus, enough.

BTW, Obama will NOT fail. He will NOT fail to further destroy this country - following in the Shrub's footsteps in war, the economy and unconscionable support for Israel.

He is still a class act!
I wish someone out there was following him more closely and reporting back to those of us who admire him.
I truly do not feel as 'safe' since he left office.
Time will judge him as the "Rose Between Two Thorns"
