Thank you President Bush! We are desperate for leadership and the Obama administration has been successful in only one area that he identified as his “legacy” goal: to
FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA! He is scrambling now to fill his “bucket list”!

Nice ay? Obama has a bucket list, well to clarify, he said “it sounds like Bucket List”!
Now wasn’t that every so funny? My oh my! What a classy guy! AND! to add to his laugh a minute performance, he said regarding using Executive action to change immigration -
“Buck et”

This is how he leads the United States. Obama’s whole world is a “selfie” and the whole world is his stage.

Thanks a whole lot to Obama supporters and all those that elected him to office.

America is a lot worse off because of both presidents. That I will agree with you on. They both left this country with an expansion of socialized medicine and increased debt.

Agreed.

I’m sorry but during this time, the UK’s and even France’s socialist President, foreign-policy wise have been better leaders. Sometimes Cameron says what I think our president should be saying.

Domestically, it’s been troublesome too.

It was funny. And very appropriate for the venue. At least to those who can differentiate between the White House Correspondents Dinner and an official state communique.

You see, where Obama made his joke was a social setting designed for levity. It was not an address to the UN General Assembly, or to a joint session of Congress, or to the American people.

The reason why the criticism are all going to be against George Bush and nothing about the points that George Bush makes, is because everybody knows that George Bush is giving the correct assessment of Obama’s ME ruinous policy failure.

Let’s not be ridiculous… no one is criticizing G.W. because they know he giving the correct assessment. G.W. has no credibility- zero, that’s why his comments are dismissed.

Abusing the Executive Privilege of the Office of President is not a laughing matter and you can bet that more than a few people are fed up. “Bucket” is not the way the United States wishes the occupant of the Presidency to use the privileges WE allow. You can suspect they are “clueless” and I will add “stupid” as Obama’s highly paid promoter bragged, but your suspicions speak to your mind.

Again, a little over dramatic.

But, yes, many of us still are fed up with the abuse of executive privilege wielded by GB II, with his speed to become a warrior president in search of weapons of mass destruction (or was it mass distraction) which destabilized an already fragile Middle East, and cost countless American lives waging war on the wrong enemy (Iraq).

I’m glad President Bush spoke up.

We are not totally withdrawing troops from Afghanistan because we see what a disaster the policy starting in 2009 or whenever it was to withdraw troops from Iraq.

Then, we asked president Mubarak to step down, the whole Middle East has been a catastrophe with the Arab spring.

It’s sad that so many Christians and indeed others have died and you see how important American Leadership is, in this vacuum, up rose ISIS, yet we have an administration more prone to criticize Christianity.

One could say that of the current President as well, and all former Presidents, technically.

Don’t state your opinion as any but your opinion.

I think the current President has zero credibility on anything he does, save for maybe filling out March madness brackets, and believe he doesn’t like what America has always stood for, doesn’t practice Christianity in any real sense of the word, and is a fraud, a borderline racist and a liar.

But that’s my opinion, not consensus.

The problem is, Obama being bad does not make Bush good.

Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton never had a problem publicly criticizing GWB while he was president. Bush has largely kept his mouth shut. He made a criticism of our current government’s policy in a private meeting.

The fact that he spoke belies the fact that he believes that the issue is of such critical importance, that it needs to be addressed.

We all know how ridiculously partisan Americans are.
Jews cannot afford that any longer, as the Iran situation comes to a head.

Of course it doesn’t, but no one implied that. And frankly I find Obama to be a much bigger failure than Bush. Or rather, perhaps Obama is more accomplished. His goal of destroying the country he seems to loathe is going quite nicely.

So I guess technically, he is the more successful of the two.

I think you may be right.

It’s funny how those on the right expect that their leaders can screw up everything and then complain that we don’t listen to those leaders with an open mind.

And your problem, besides it coming from Bush, with the quote that was not made in public as Obama does daily?

In a closed-door meeting with Jewish Donors Saturday night, former President George W. Bush delivered his harshest public criticisms to date against his successor on foreign policy, saying that President Barack Obama is being naïve about Iran and the pending nuclear deal and losing the war against the Islamic State.

One attendee at the Republican Jewish Coalition session, held at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas with owner Sheldon Adelson in attendance, transcribed large portions of Bush’s remarks. The former president, who rarely ever criticizes Obama in public, at first remarked that the idea of re-entering the political arena was something he didn’t want to do. He then proceeded to explain why Obama, in his view, was placing the U.S. in “retreat” around the world. He also said Obama was misreading Iran’s intentions while relaxing sanctions on Tehran too easily.

According to the attendee’s transcription, Bush noted that Iran has a new president, Hassan Rouhani. “He’s smooth," Bush said. "And you’ve got to ask yourself, is there a new policy or did they just change the spokesman?”

Bush said that Obama’s plan to lift sanctions on Iran with a promise that they could snap back in place at any time was not plausible. He also said the deal would be bad for American national security in the long term: “You think the Middle East is chaotic now? Imagine what it looks like for our grandchildren. That’s how Americans should view the deal.”

Bush then went into a detailed criticism of Obama’s policies in fighting the Islamic State and dealing with the chaos in Iraq. On Obama’s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops in Iraq at the end of 2011, he quoted Senator Lindsey Graham calling it a “strategic blunder.” Bush signed an agreement with the Iraqi government to withdraw those troops, but the idea had been to negotiate a new status of forces agreement to keep U.S. forces there past 2011. The Obama administration tried and failed to negotiate such an agreement.

Bush said he views the rise of the Islamic State as al-Qaeda’s "second act” and that they may have changed the name but that murdering innocents is still the favored tactic. He defended his own administration’s handling of terrorism, noting that the terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who confessed to killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, was captured on his watch: “Just remember the guy who slit Danny Pearl’s throat is in Gitmo, and now they’re doing it on TV.”

What is Bush talking about? ISIS is new. Brutality and beheadings are not - he can ask the Saudis if he has any doubt. The US going in to Iraq is what created ISIS - not their leaving it. Yes, those people on the playing cards, who had nothing to do with 911.

And instead of doing a major mea culpa, he’s bashing…oh, the arrogance! Much as I think Jeb’s a different person, this cannot possibly help his presidential bid. It’s like waking up from a bad dream to have your relief interrupted by flashbacks.
