The real reason W never comments on Obama's presidency
W isn't paying attention. He didn't know what was going on when he was president and he sure the hell doesn't know what's going on now.

1. Plus his earpiece is out of range now. The transmitter's still back at the WH.

5. I suspect those transmitters were a little heavy
and were partially responsible for all those bike accidents.

2. My dear Mabus!
You're probably right!

He's probably stoned or something...

Nice to see you posting!

:hi:

:hug:

6. Not stoned, just stupid
Well you know, I don't post much. Been here seven years and have less than 14,000 posts.

:hi:

14. Definitely not stoned. Stupid and drunk.
You know he's drinking like crazy right now so he can forget all the bullshit he did. And the alcohol makes him EVEN STUPIDER, if that's humanly possible. His IQ has probably dropped to rock-level by now. You're right. He's too clueless to know WHAT to say.

Hi Mabus! :pals: When are you coming back to Lawrence for a visit?

15. I wanted to get back for the Lawrence Reunion in May
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 06:34 PM by Mabus
but then stepdaughter #3 came by for her Spring Break and, well, my coming home money is now sending her to Europe to study for the summer. edited to add, I sent you a link on your FB account about the hippie reunion

Don't worry, I will return and you'll be among the first to know about it. :loveya:

Oh, if you haven't already, don't forget to vote tomorrow.

edited to add, I sent you a link on your FB account about the hippie reunion in May. Plenty o' fun, music, food and a lot of the people you know. ;)

11. If I had been the worst President ever in the history of the USA...I would
want to spend the rest of my life drunk or stoned, or just plain oblivious of what is going on in the real world.

I mean, who would want to know that they send 4100+ brave Americans to their death in an illegal immoral unjustified war?
I mean, who would want to think that they caused thousands of pregnant innocent women to die and their fetuses to die as we bombed Iraq?

I mean, who would want to know they bankrupted America due to wars, laissez-faire capitalism without rules, pressuring unqualified people to buy homes on $0 down mortgages, and asking all Americans to get tax breaks and "go shopping" on 9/12/2001, instead of paying more taxes for a more justified "war against international terrorists"?

3. oh was he ever glad to be gone
Once he got past the skating by stage of the presidency and had to get down to doing homework he permanently checked out. He was eyeing that clock for years like a student waiting to get out of school. He could care less about what's going on now, he's just glad to be done with it.

7. At least he can drink without worrying about getting caught
I hope he's got a big bowl of pretzels and beer for tonight's NCAA game.

10. I wish I started drinking when he got into office
A bad time to basically give it up.

12. I had given up smoking pot in the early '90's
I started up again on Dec. 13, 2000. I would've started on the 12th but I had to go track down my old contacts.

13. lol
Yeah I took the last 8 years straight up. Like in the old West when they'd just bite down on a stick of wood for pain purposes, that's pretty much what it was like handling Dubya in a completely sober state.

16. He is scared and wants to kiss up to Obama.
Little Georgie is very, very worried.

17. As opposed to Cheney shooting off his mouth, Junior seems like the smart one.
Their fate lies in Obama's hands, and I'm think Junior understands that and Cheney not so much. Or maybe Junior is mesmerized by a shiny object. Hard to tell.

24. W, himself, was ALWAYS about politics, not governance. Rove, Cheney and RW revisionists are shooting
Edited on Tue Apr-07-09 09:45 AM by blm
at Obama because BushInc WANTS them to, no matter what the servile press wants us to buy into about Bush's statesmanship.

27. The greater part of W's career was as a political strategist along w/pals Atwater and Rove.
Edited on Tue Apr-07-09 09:49 AM by blm
The corporate media would never talk much to that part of his career, though it constituted the greatest part of his job experience.

28. All along I thought the man too ignorant for strategy
or strategery as it turns out, and I agree the MSM has sculpted that image.

I fervently hope there will be a reckoning for these criminals. It's long overdue. I wonder what your thoughts are on the chances of that happening.

18. He's completely checked out. We know because to stay informed (without minions) he'd have to read
or do radio/TV news. Forget that. Chimpy is watching old movies, quaffing a brewsky every hour on the hour, and playing golf with Jeb. Reminiscing about the old days when the Bushistas were in power.

20. Yeah... I think he was essentially a "nobody" with nothing much to say...
... and the same remains today.

22. Remember how Barack said on "60 Minutes" he spent all of his time reading...
... you KNOW George Bush didn't spend more than about half an hour a day with his nose in a briefing book.

So I think your assesment is spot on.

25. He also doesn't have someone to tell him what to say
word for word, like he did before. He would actually have to think of something to say
