Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite US President. I want another one just like him. I’ll take a Reagan too!!

DUDE, are you kidding? He retired from partisan politics in the middle of his first term. Go back and re-read where conservatives kept complaining and wondering why he wouldn’t defend himself and by extension to GOP. The Bush supporters were left to defend him & themselves, even when they only partially agreed with him because he’s always had liberal leanings with the tele-evangelist flair. Bush deserved his low approval. He’s turned out to be a liberal loving, GOP back stabbing, jerk. Cheney is right to be p!ssed he didn’t pardon Scooter Libby.

Thanks for the lesson in blogology. Please remember that you’re as anonymous and irrelevant as the rest of us and I consider your opinion to be worth exactly what I paid for it. If you don’t like people ragging on a fellow Texan, fair enough, but don’t try to defend him as a conservative he never was.

As much as I like Cheney, one of the bigger mistakes Bush made was not having a Vice-President who would/could run for President in 2008.
If Bush’s Vice-President would have run in 2008 (and lost), perhaps the Republican party would be in better shape to rebuild itself.

One of Bush’s biggest mistakes. Much bigger than the made-up crap people kept throwing at him.

Bush was always too non-partisan to really push and defend the Republican party. It’s to his credit in many ways, but it hurt us politically, because we had no leader in 2008, and wound up with [shudder] McCain as the nominee.

Pardon me if I could care less what advice our moderate, spendthrift, abandoning of the Free Market, former President has to say about the current administration.

Mr. Bush, if you’re going to observe a code of silence, by all means, please start right now.

Lord knows, you’ve done enough damage to your party already.

OMG, Ed, you are absolutely right! I never thought of it that way until I did a google image search on "Al Gore". Stand well back. Doesn't look like he brushes his teeth.

I think his saying “he deserves my silence” implies, “if I said what I really think, it wouldn’t be good for him.”

Yeah, that was terrible when Gore said that Bush betrayed us less than two months into his presidency.

Oh wait, it wasnt that soon? It was actually much, much later into Bush’s presidency? When Bush’s policies had a chance to be enacted?

Hmm. That’s interesting.

Gore’s statement about Bush “betraying the country” was criticized at the time because it was a complete and utter lie. Still is.

He was paid by me, not the other way around.

I thought Cheney was bought and paid for by Halliburton? You remember them, the same nice people who paid off Democrat Senator/Vice President/President/former President Lyndon Johnson for decades?

GW’s inclination to be softer on his enemies than his enemies are on him was the main reason why he could be considered a failure.

After Carter and Clinton and Gore decided to pull no punches, GW’s stance is surrender. Cheney is a fighter. Big difference.

Bush was doing fine until he stopped listening to Cheney. Bush’s second term was a sharp move to the left and a disaster.

I always voted for Cheney.

Don’t expect the Obama to do anything of the sort when he finally (puts hands together in prayer)exits the Oval Office, he’ll be on every channel, news rag, screaming criticisms. No class or respect.

GWB knows full well that any criticism of Obomba by him would boost Obomba’s popularity. Hurts Obomba more by his silence. MSM did their job well in GWB’s character assasination.

“deserves my silence,”

Perfect slam. I agree he shouldn’t stoop to Carter, Clinton, Gore level and he still get a good pop in.

“W” will leave the bloody work to the ones who do it best.
I sure miss him , Cheney, Condi and Rummy.

I think that it’s aimed a whole lot more at Carter/Clinton than it is at Cheney.

Ex-Presidnets, unless they are Teddy Roosevelt, are supposed to become a-political.

I think Bush’s comments on any potential criticism of Obama and his love of country over politics just shows his class. I think it is genuine.

“Cheney’s comments about Obama making America less safe most closely approximate Gore’s “He BETRAYED us!” schtick in tenor, if not in volume or burst facial capillaries.”

The problem is Obama’s team is changing the very basis we live in the USA and moving away from our allies to embrace our enemies.

How long does anyone wait to be critical of this approach. Until it is to late.

Now that terrorist attacks are man made disasters. Will the majority of Homeland Security funds go towards preventing man mde global warming?

Cheney just called, and he’s distraught that he has no credibility with you.

Well, that I could care less about. He was paid by me, not the other way around.

I hope Bush keeps his mouth shut about a lot of things. Except for his stance on terrorism and the few taxes he cut, he was a failure. He failed to stand up against the Dims and the RINOs on just about everything and I am glad he is gone. His compassionate conservatism and new tone got the country in the mess it is in now.

president Bush is holding onto traditional morals of not undermining the Office of the Presidency, unlike Carter now Clinton and Obama
I do not believe there is that much animosity between President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Who’s going to listen to him? I know many conservatives [I'm not one of them] who didn’t even pay attention to the ’07 SOTU.
