What a contrast between Bush and Obama. One speaks well from prepared speaches and uses the office to attack individuals who disagree with him. One spoke not so eloquent, but from the heart with conviction and didn’t take on his critics, rather concentrated on the issues facing the country.
Uncertain times call for uncertain leadership…
What concerns me is that Bush is speaking out, he must also have serious concerns about this Presidency.
Ccontrary to the MSM – Bush is/was no dummy!! He was low-key, but he knew what was going on, had (for the most part) solid advisors and ALWAYS had the good of the Country at heart. Now, we have… Mr. Thin-skin, Training Pants. 2010 can’t come soon enough!
Bush has no concerns about his Presidency, he always did what he thought was right at the time. He is speaking because he is raising money for his library and people are interested in his thought process as he met some of the challenges our country faced. I think the title of this story is miss leading. He is not bashing Obama, he had the same ideological arguments with the dems all the time when he was in office.
More of this, please, Mr. President!
I used to visit this site because I thought it was a conservative blog. Lately it’s apparent it’s just a George W fansite. Dissapointing.
mynameis… don’t let the door…
“I used to visit this site” mynameis
I used to indicates the past, so what are you doing here now? Tired of the garbage on the liberal sites? When O’Dumbo has you actually eating garbage maybe you will see the error of your support for the ’0′ O’Dumbo. Half a million people lost their job (per month) under O’Dumbo. Are you better off today than you were 5 months ago?
Scrapion:
This RECESSION began under BUSH! Have you forgotten that point already?
Or have you been Con’d by the Republi-CONS?
There are signs that Obama’s plan is working and here is one of them:

Am I better off today than I was 5 months ago?? I am guessing you are referring to financially.
The answer is YES!!!
Oh just in case you still believe that Obama has broken MOST of his campaign promises as some on this site have suggested, here is another dose of the real truth.
The Obameter Scorecard
Promise Kept 31
Compromise 8
Promise Broken 6
Stalled 12
In the Works 64
No Action YET 394
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/
Yes, “at last”:
At least now he’s just torturing the English language.
@Real American Patriot: No Action YET 394. Don’t hold your breath.
Obama is the WORST President in my lifetime. Worse than Jimmy Carter and worse than Bill Clinton. Joe Biden was right: the presidency is no place for on the job training and Hillary Clinton was right when she compared her experience to some speech Obama gave in 2005.
@mynameis: If you don’t understand the value of the contrast between Bush and Odumbo then perhaps it is time for you to leave.
@Real American Patriot:
I don’t think Thomas Ricks would agree with that misleading campaign pledge. He’s “ending the war in Iraq” with about as much expediency as Bush or McCain. The difference, of course, is that Bush and McCain both wanted to leave Iraq in success and Senator Obama did what he could to stand in the way of that success. Now he gets to ride the coattails of the previous Administration while bashing it daily.
Since they saw fit to include #502, PolitiFact forgot to include his campaign pledge to take Michelle out on a date to see a Broadway show. What are they trying to do? Cheat the President on his scorecard of “promises kept”? Damn liberal bias….
Mike:
The WORST President in recent history is pictured at the top of this string. I’m sorry you are so confused.
@RAP
Wrong answer, thanks for playing. Bush was president, but Pelosi and Reid held the purse strings, or rather they neglected to hold the purse strings. I guess the Demon-Craps still have you under mind control.
My prayer is that we withstand the next 3.5 years, without unfixable damage being done. When an administration does its utmost to tare down this country and what made it great, it’s hard to get up in the morning. Shame on you Obama and all those who back you, you are a disgrace not only to America but now to the world. You insult Great Britain, stand back and allow Iranians to be murdered in the streets, denigrate Germans with their leader standing next to you. Apologize for America where praise was called for. A pox on you and your cabal of Fascists that are wrecking a great country.
All the BDS bottom feeders are out.
Here’s a little dose of reality for Sky55110, Internet Casonova:
(Remember Bruce…. this list only includes the first 100 days.)
Our non-biased, MSM is in the throes of ecstasy now that it has Bush to attack once again!
Here are some more for you Bruce:
Obama: Mirandize Terrorists Captured Waging War On America, Update: An Obama Flip-Flop?
Obama to Bring Back Military Tribunals Which He Opposed As Professional Candidate
Where are your musings on the illegal firing of an Inspector General?
Obie sponsored the very law that he broke….sounds like a broken promise to me.
More to come.
You made the unfortunate mistake of challenging me on the facts again.
You’re gonna need some Maalox by the time I’m done.
And bandages.
@Aye
It’s 3 IG Firings Now
I’d love to hear RAP defend the most ethical, transparent president evah now. Or any other leftie that thinks they can.
If Brucie decides to show up on this thread again….here’s some more for him to chew on:
@Aye
No need to worry about him, he’s being fired. Refer to the article in my previous post. Can’t be having someone stop TARP or Stimulus.
@Aqua:
Just printed out the article you linked.
It’s amazing to me what Obie is doing.
Dunderheads like Sky55110, Internet Casanova Extraordinaire, are just floating along on the HopeyChangey vapors while the country is being destroyed around them.
Amazing.
I’m glad to see Bush speaking up. I’m also glad that he’s doing it in his own style (aka not resorting to blatant, aggressive attacks like “certain” people).
That, my friends, is all that needs to be said. Say what you will about Bush and his policies, but at least he had the courage to do what he thought was right and see things through. Obama? That little weasel flip flops so damn often. Just look at the military tribunals issue. And heck, anyone remember all his talk on the campaign trail about ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. I don’t care about that issue one way or the other, but it’s funny how that issue (especially with Dems in control of the WH and Congress) has vanished from the to-do list. Even worse about Obama, he has the unmitigated gall to act like he’s never changed his positions or did something wrong despite the evidence to the contrary.
Bottom line, Bush has honor. Obama, meanwhile, can’t even spell the word.
And RAP, if you really want to be honest and place blame where blame belongs on the recession, HERE is public enemy #1.
[Courtesy embed for Aqua....I even selected a pretty pink border in honor of Senator Bawney Fwank. - Aye]
It truly is depressing to sit here and read all of the crap that has come out of your mouths on this webpage. First of all who is the idiot that claims Obama to be “The worst president ever known”. Serioulsy give me a break, it has been 6 months since his inauguration. This recession started with Bush and it will most likely not end within Obama’s term but what you fail to realize is that a change needed to be made. There has to be governmnet regulation put in place and if you don’t understand that I truly feel sorry for you. Why do you think the “Savings and Loan scandal” happened”. Nobody was regulating or watching over these selfish a**hole’s that were allowing anybody no matter what the income or economic status to receive a loan that was impossible to pay off. Also, I love how so many people were so “Pro-War” but I can guarantee you a mojority of them have never served. I am a veteran and let me ask you something, “Where are those weapons of mass destruction”?
Moby sighting on Aisle 26.
Moby…Aisle 26.
So many delicious morsels there….so little time.
Hey Morris….the reason the current lending debacle occurred is because the gov’t FORCED lenders to make loans to people who would never realistically be able to pay them back.
That “adult” who was in charge is pretty much responsible for this:
WSJ/NBC poll:
Amazing what that “adult” has done.
@herman:
No, not exactly.
That would be like all of us blaming your third grade teacher for your current mental vapidity.
The Republican Party strayed from its’ principles long before President Bush moved into the White House. Until the party regains its’ footing, it will continue to founder in the eyes of those of us who are Conservative.
@Morris asked: “First of all who is the idiot that claims Obama to be “The worst president ever known.”
That would be me Morris. I have worked in government at every level from the Court House to the White House and much in between. Personally, I have worked for, met or seen in person Presidents ranging from Nixon to Clinton.
I watched how you lefties derided Reagan’s efforts to win the Cold War from inside the White House. You people never understood the value and power of freedom and democracy then as you discount it now.
Obama is an aberration of American politics brought on by “news” media idolatry for a slick talking candidate who happens to be non white ( I am warned that the word “Mulatto” while accurate, connotes racism).
Get some grounding in history and reality before you come pointing fingers at me pal!
After all the crap from BO it was nice to hear from W again.
Republicrat hectors Demoblicain …
One would think GWB had nothing to do with Bark Hussein Obama’s election …
Oh MAN, I would have LOVED to have been there at the meeting!! I just got off the phone with the PR person for the event, and she said there was a VERY warm welcome for President Bush, and standing room only. She MORE THAN ONCE communicated HUGE enthusiasm and much positive energy there in response to his speech!! I called to ask if there was a video available, and she said there was not. The only thing taped was the 1st 3 minutes or so of the event. Other than that, just photos. I told her it would be SO refreshing to hear someone saying the free market still works, and she wholeheartedly agreed!! Lord knows I would have tried to attend if I’d known about it!!!

@SoCal Chris: The only video I found was the opening:
Shame that we don’t have better video. Maybe someone needs to consider that next time our former Commander in Chief speaks?
THANK YOU, MIKE!!
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to President Bush’s criticism by saying: “We won.”
Weak. Weak. Weak.
This from the bestest Press Sect’y evah.
Heh.
Hey Morris I served before you were born, and those WMD are somewhere up your butt, with who did you serve and where. Jimmy Carter was and is the worst President ever to serve, and Obama is very quickly catching up. Did Bush ever insult Great Britain not once but three times, did he insult Germany with Merkel standing next to the big eared baffoon, did he refuse dinner with The president of France, only to eat atop the Eiffel Tower. In just 65 days this dweeb has managed to p#ss off the whole world, so do me a favor shove him where the sun doesn’t shine.
mynameis…. I shall take your post as a final farewell. We shall miss your inability to read post content and consume debate. Always good for brevity, ya know.
I will look forward to not seeing your worthless input in the future.
Maybe I should add that we can connect CRAP… a student of revisionist history… and bozo “mynameis” off forum so they can mind meld.
“signs” Obama’s plan is working… LOL Right, CRAP… how much of that money has been released? And what jobs, other than government jobs for a year, has been “saved”?
Even Biden says “be patient”, it’ll work…. when the money finally get’s released. But then, if it hasn’t been released, how does it contribute?
duh
I guess Larry W is sharing prozac needles with you, right?
Oh yes… Morris who? You feel “sad” at all these comments? Interesting. I feel “sad” that you believe government is the cure for the problems when it was government (i.e. Congress) who caused not only the S&L but the current banking woes. Sometimes it’s bad legislation and regulation, and others it’s overregulation. And most are the result of many events together that create a perfect storm. That you simplify these problems as either similiar, or as a free market flaw, may suit your comprehension ability… but doesn’t make it so.
Found this video report:

Hey Jainphx– “Weapons of mass destruction are somewhere up my butt”. I don’t think I even need to comment on this. HA the funny thing is they still haven’t been found yet so maybe they’re “up my butt” (IDIOT).
Bottom line: Whether you choose to believe it or not Obama was clearly the better candidate in the presidential race so before you criticize every democrat that comes into office please, please don’t make it so easy with lousy candidates. Also, just because a man served in the war and spent 1500 days as a POW does not mean he knows how to “Manage” a war. I am not going to sit here and say Obama has any experience either but as a country we had no choice but to elect somebody and based on the turnout “change was necessary”. Repulicans have controlled the house and office for the past 11 years and clearly something is not working. I am sure there are many of your right wing pals that voted Obama but would never admit it.
Don’t judge Obama’s presidency after the first 130 days or so and if you do make sure you put a better team on the field next race.
Oh yeah I almost forgot: Aye Chiuahua: Under who’s administration was the government under when these lendors were forced to push through these loans?
@Morris:
Hmmm….
The Community Reinvestment Act was passed under Carter in 1977
Reforms were implemented to restrict it under George HW Bush in 1989
Clinton expanded the legislation multiple times, forcing lenders to raise the percentage of loans to minority groups as well as forcing the lowering of lending standards, thus increasing the percentage of lending to less qualified buyers.
George W. Bush acted multiple times to reign in FannieMae and FreddieMac beginning way back in 2001 only to be rebuffed by Congress.
So, there’s the history of the issue in short bullet point form to make it easier for you to understand.
Thanks for asking.
@Morris #26:
Must explain why the majority military voting block consistently goes to Republicans.
Also, I love how Morris pulls out the chickenhawk card, tries to fortify his opinion behind the “I am a veteran” aegis, then writes this gem:
Must be taking lessons from President Obama on how to have his argument both ways.
Notice he still hasn’t answered where he served! Morris cub scouts don’t count, or is it Girl scouts?
Morris,
‘Whether you choose to believe it or not’ – you are funny Morris. Really, you are.
I think that so far Obama’s “Plan” IS working. However, in clarification, I must qualify that by stating that I feel certain that Obama’s “Plan” is not what everyone in Washington DC and the MSM seems to think it is. I also think his “plan” for “change” is to change the United States far away from what the forefather’s plan was, into a type of government they feared it could become.
After the Constitutional Convention had finished its work in 1787, a woman asked Ben Franklin what kind of government had been decided upon. He replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
The question now is: Will we be able to keep our republic with a far-left administration that wishes to remake America in their own image, and a Congress and MSM that will neither obstruct, nor hinder a governmental transformation by single party aligned elites?
Mike, did you see this:
@Wordsmith: Thanks. I had not seen that.
I’ll highlight this:
For years Bush worked to improve the fate of women in Islamic countries. Laura made it a personal mission. You remember her visits to women’s health centers in Saudi Arabia? The State Dept. also worked on this issue.
They laid the groundwork to assist in facilitating the emergence of women we see in the protests in Iran.
And yet, Dems in Washington are still trying to claim Obama’s Cairo speech deserves the credit for inspiring the Iranians.
