Bush defends his Presidency in unusual way

At a recent business conference , The”W” or number 43, or the Torturer as some call him, was invited to give his views on a variety of subjects including some of Obama’s initiatives. When a retired military general addressed him as “Sir,” he showed an uncharacteristic personal reaction, admonishing the speaker and startling the audience by saying, “Please address me as President, here’s the deal, I worked so hard to get that title. And I still put up with a lot, so thank you”.
One report noted that a few heard him then mumble something under his breathe, that included “Cheney this, Cheney that” but no one got it on tape and a spokesman said they were mistaken.
Bush tried to not criticize Obama directly, rather formed most of his remarks in defense of his maligned 8 years as a titled President. Wayne Slater, author of “Bush’s Brain” (aka Karl Rove) says now that Bush has the time to think about his legacy, spending hours daily alone or with the former First Lady, says he feels the President has decided to burnish his image and his policies. Simply by repeating the rationale for his policies, he is framing criticism for Obama policies.
Except for those that Obama has adopted, extended or renamed.
Slater’s rational makes a lot of sense. Bush probably did take a look around and realized that only Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh are regularly singing his praises. Other’s also do, but Slater wanted to make a point.
For instance, the little known Bush Fan Club predicts that after the unemployment rate exceeds 12% and China lends to us only at double digit rates to fund the Bush Agenda Obama inherited, that “W” will be rehabilited by mass rallies to rival those in Iran after A-Jad’s reelection. Hey, Nixon lost his pariah status in some circles. Palin and Letterman are also taking heart.
Thank you Mr President. No sir, no kidding here. But you really should start talking to Cheney again. Don’t let that Clinton/Gore thing be repeated. That split caused global warming.
