Former President George W. Bush says President Barack Obama should not be criticized for the amount of golf he plays. …

“You know, I see our president criticized for playing golf. I don’t—I think he ought to play golf,” Bush says in the interview. “Because I know what it’s like to be in the bubble. And I know the pressures of the job. And to be able to get outside and play golf with some of your pals is important for the president. It does give you an outlet.” …

Don’t former presidents with class just keep their stinking mouths shut?
I mean, I always liked Dubya despite some stumbles along the way, but he really needs to shut up now.

I starting to think President Bush tapes the “kick me” sign on his own back.

The only thing that gives me any sense of redemption is the picture of V.P. Cheney looking at Obama with disgust at “The One’s” Inauguration. Cheney knew, but Bush still doesn't see it. Talk about living in a bubble.

This is why everyone dumped on President Bush so much because he always turned the other cheek and allowed people to trash him. President Bush was much more gracious than he should have been even now.

Before anyone has something bad to say about Obama or the Clintons we must first run it by the Bushes. They’ll call Rove and he’ll tell them what to say. If it’s on the Middle East, they call the Saudi Prince and get his input.

GW Bush: Speaks about allowing amnesty for illegal criminals and now golf. Out of the entire disaster that is the Kenyans Presidency, those two things are what Bush focuses on. But what else do you expect from a guy who came up with the saying “Islam is a religion of peace.”

Maybe Bush simply means that there are so many other things to criticize Obama for.

Yes, playing golf might be a good thing if it was not an obsession. Apparently President George W. Bush has no clue of the extent Zer0 plays golf. Zer0 has played 146 rounds of golf since taking office in 2009. Bush played 24 rounds of golf through the first 34 months of his presidency, but stopped in 2003 because he didn’t want to give the impression he took the war lightly.

The election of Obama and all the NEW executive powers he now holds is the GW Bush Legacy.

Obama to Bush: How did you manage to get all those bad ideas pushed through congress?

GW Bush to Obama: I had John McCain and some handpicked RINO's Karl helped get into office instead of Conservatives.

Obama: Thanks George we couldn't have done it without you.
