The first official reunion of the Bush-Cheney Alumni Association kicked off in Washington, DC today. The “closed-door” event was supposed to be Bush and Cheney’s first joint appearance together since leaving office, but the former vice president had to skip the festivities because of recent health problems.
At the breakfast today (view a picture of the gathering here), Bush talked about his upcoming memoir, joking, “This is going to come as quite a shock to people up here that I can write a book, much less read one.” He also said that Cheney was “feeling well” and “has a fierce constitution,” and according to attendee Gary Karr, Bush “gave an eloquent defense of the freedom agenda.” Bush also explained why he — unlike Cheney — has been relatively quiet about the job President Obama is doing:
I have no desire to see myself on television. I don’t want to be a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. … I’m trying to regain a sense of anonymity. I didn’t like it when a certain former president — and it wasn’t 41 or 42 — made my life miserable.
As USA Today notes, Bush is mostly likely talking about Jimmy Carter, since Ronald Reagan “was ill during Bush’s first term and passed away in 2004,” and Gerald Ford “stayed low-key until his death in 2006.” ...

I miss him.
I miss him.
Pres. Bush - don’t worry about it - he’s been making everybody miserable.
Truth.
worth repeating I guess...LOL
“Bush is mostly likely talking about Jimmy Carter, since Ronald Reagan ‘was ill during Bush’s first term and passed away in 2004,’ and Gerald Ford ‘stayed low-key until his death in 2006.’”
Or—call me crazy—maybe because Carter was the only one who consistently badmouthed him in public?
If you think Jimmah was bad.
Wait till 44 is unemployed....
This will be Jimmah on Steroids. (picture the offspring of Obama and Mark McGuire)
Carter gave us the misery index.
If only Bush had spoken out more, sigh. I do know that he had an awful headwind, but the unanswered lies festered, and now we have Brack.
Carter and Obama - the Axis of incompetence and anti-Americanism.
Boosh shoulda clapped Jimmah in irons.
Jimmy Carter our national chancre.
I’ve known people like Carter.
Miserable people who need to make everyone else miserable.
I remember reading a book by Barbara Bush and IIRC she too, complained about Carter.
I do.
indeed it is worth repeating
you can post it all you want
I miss him too
0bama is going 90 miles per hour to push misery off the top of the Rector Scale.
I regret if Bush said Carter made his life miserable. Maybe it was just a poor choice of words.
Jimmy Carter is pretty much a disgraced ex president. I hope Bush as president didn’t worry about Carter’s statements.
A man of integrity.
