JoeBigs: "To do that ( charging former President Bush with war crimes )would be to blame our nation for what he did"

Lessee, what did he do? He ordered the liberation of two countries... Ys! Definitely grounds for being charged with war crimes! LOL...

"The audience, which gave Bush a warm welcome at his arrival, cheered when he said he wanted to be remembered as a president who showed up in the office with a set of principles .."

The wrong principles.

Sushi: "The wrong principles."

He probably meant princiPALS, as in they appealed to him for educational funds, and were immediately ignored despite showing up 'with' him. I don't know... I mean, he certainly couldn't be referring to the 'principles' other human beings use.

I've got to hand it to Bush, I have never seen him crawl into the mud with any of his critics. Unlike a couple of his predecessors, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, he refuses to criticize the sitting president out of respect for the presidency.

Good for Bush for putting the nation ahead of petty politics and having the discipline to ignore the gutter snipes.

VOR: When you have an approval rating of 8% or so, and are considered the absolute worst president in US history on more than one issue, and among the top 6 worst on pretty much everything else, coming out and criticizing a very popular man only gives him more strength, and makes you look even worse. bush CAN'T criticize Obama, because the latter is superior to him in so many ways where he himself failed outright, and has been taken down more than one notch for it.

Anyway, what Sushi added is bang on as well.

I'll take Bush's lead on this one and ignore the gutter snipes. Sorry fellas not joining you in the mud today.

Bush was dead wrong on Iraq but I sure miss the economic growth of 2005-2007. As for Obama it's still early but I'm waiting for some change that does something other than increase the deficit.

Fact is that bush does not understand the job so does indeed have little to say, other than he misses the food. bush does not need to attack the president when cheney is doing that daily already.

Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter kept their mouths shut for a long time. I was totally upset when Bill Clinton was ask about george bush's going into Iraq, that he was supportive and said nothing critical. george bush's administration went in on day one accusing the Clinton administration of an orchestrating the sabatoging of computer key board, typewriters and any other childish claims they could make up. (Clinton's administration did nothing inappropriate.)

Given several years into bush's administration they made candid responses to questions from the press, but they didn't go looking at attack bush.

Well, any president who takes office from now on will be compared to the mess that bush created. They will be compared to whether their foreign policies are as bad bush's. < :-)

When Bush criticizers speak they sound very uneducated, which is odd since Bush can be criticized on a lot of issues.

Bush says he misses soldiers

Yeah? Well there's a lot of us who miss the soldiers.

RIP

I don't think there are all that many who miss GWB though. I can't think of a worse presidency.

"I can't think of a worse presidency"

I can. And, although it's still early, it looks like another one is here.

SuperLib: "When Bush criticizers speak they sound very uneducated, which is odd since Bush can be criticized on a lot of issues."

You got the latter part right. :)

sarge: " can. And, although it's still early, it looks like another one is here."

All told, bush takes the cake, my friend. A couple of others come close, but never wrought the overall destruction on the nation bush did.
