Default Bush refuses to criticize Obama

Obviously, we'll see if it holds, but Bush is conducting himself with a lot more dignity than his critics ever did. And I am probably one of his critics for governing too much like a liberal Democrat.

As a man, he appears to conduct himself with some modicum of dignity.

Perhaps it's a strategy to let Obama hang himself with his incompetence rather than allowing all the Obama toadies in the media to point out that Obama is blameless. Or maybe he's sincere.

Whatever the reason, good for Bush. Obama could use an example of magnanimity right about now.

Ex-GOP Presidents have conducted themselves with dignity after leaving office. Then there's Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

It is while they are in office that they need to improve.

Bush didn't require a teleprompter to flub in public either.

A teleprompt blunder has led to Barack Obama thanking himself in a speech at the White House in a St Patrick's Day celebration.

You're right. Carter was so good in office, that he can be an ingrate now.

Obama is a joke.

I don't know if you've listened to Rush lately, but he's been pretty amusing making fun of Obama and his reliance on the teleprompter. As in "Obama's Teleprompter told him to say...", and "My offer to debate Obama's teleprompter still stands". Now he doesn't even refer to Obama, but rather TOTUS or Teleprompter of the United States.
