Former President George W. Bush pushed back against the perception that he did not have a major decision-making role in the White House during his presidency, offering a blunt criticism of former Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in a new book: They "didn’t make one f---ing decision."
Bush made the comment to author Mark K. Updegrove in "The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush," saying Rumsfeld and Cheney “didn’t make one f---ing decision" while he was president.
“The fact that there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about who the president was, blows my mind,” the 43rd president continued.
* Former U.S. president George W. Bush left little doubt about how he feels about Donald Trump on Thursday
* Rare speech in New York City was full of veiled barbs in the current president's direction
* 'Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone,' he said, and 'provides permission for cruelty and bigotry'
* 'Bigotry seems emboldened; our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication'
* Bush also slammed Trump's trade isolationism and complained that 'we've seen nationalism distorted into nativism' and forgotten immigration's 'dynamism'
George W. Bush hinted Thursday at his dissatisfaction with Donald Trump, complaining in a New York City speech that 'bullying and prejudice' has become a caustic norm in American public life.
At an event hosted by the George W. Bush Institute, the 43rd U.S. president rattled off a thinly veiled litany of complaints about the current commander-in-chief, focusing on both his tone and his isolationist policy choices.
'Our young people need positive role models,' he said. 'Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone, provides permission for cruelty and bigotry, and compromises the moral education of children.'
'Bigotry seems emboldened' in today's America, Bush added. 'Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.'
WNU Editor: Is there a constituency in America for President W. Bush's vision of America .... open borders, globalism, and unending wars? I doubt it .... and (for me) his speech was nothing more but a litany of complaints that an agenda that he opposes is being implemented.
