Oh No He Didn't


Today I am shedding "lyte" on the intrinsic value of silence.  Wednesday night in Erie, Pennsylvania, former President Bush decided to start critiquing President Obama.  Now, he was careful not to mention the current president by name, but we all caught the gist of his complaints nonetheless.

Not surprisingly, the former occupant of the White House felt that Obama's economic strategy was too reliant on government and not reliant enough on private enterprise.  Thanks George, it was that over reliance on private enterprise that got us into this mess in the first place.  Maybe if you had spent a little more time actually governing and less time vacationing, I would still have money in my IRA.

Former President Bush would neither confirm nor deny that Obama was socialist.  Wow, Obama must be underwhelmed by the support you are showing.  It is kind of sad that Obama has had to spend all his time so far cleaning up the messes Bush created, but Bush can't bring himself to back up the one guy who might save his "legacy".

Am I surprised?  Hell to the no.  Bush is a weiny.  He had never taken responsibility for anything, and he gets pissy as all get out if you criticize him.  Watching Obama undo all the damage he has done, I am shocked he managed to keep his less than articulate mouth shut for this long.

Look, the Republicans and the rabid right believe that you should only support people that agree with you 100%.  That leaves 80% of us open to attack.  So much for the United States of America.  But you would think that someone who had wrecked so much damage on so many people might just keep quiet.  But that someone would have to have 1) a brain, and 2) a conscience.  George was blessed with neither.
