He’s just saying that because no one wants him right now. Wait until people actually ask him to, and I bet he’ll be there to pay it back.

You’d actually have to know Bush to understand that when he says that he has “no plans” that he means what he says...that someone would have to *ask* him for help to get it...he’s not volunteering.

People who don’t know Bush will think, mistakenly, that Bush has abandoned the GOP.

Not the case. He’s simply not interjecting himself. I(f ya want him, ya gotta ask him.

Which is exactly what former Presidents have been doing until Carter and Clinton decided they were above 200 plus years of precedence.

He's proclaiming this early because likely all kinds of candidates have been lobbying him.

He doesn't want to make himself the issue. If he started fund-raising, he quickly would become the issue.

Good for him. Most former Presidents have done that for the most part.. EXCEPT Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter! When your term is done, write your memoirs and go away.

After reading ‘Decision Points’, I’m pretty damn sure he’s had enough of the public lime light. He will probably do lots of charity work of some kind.

The dude bankrupted the country by refusing to use the veto pen for the first five and a half years in office and spending untold fortunes to invade foreign lands...

which set about a hyperinflationary debt spiral that was amplified his final parting act of TARP.

Yeah, in most other countries the whole Bush clan would have been flying out under cover of darkness to Riyadh to live in lifelong exile. In the US, they just slow down their TV appearance schedules.

There is one thing he could do that would be helpful, which is to write a book detailing the operations of the federal government, from the president’s point of view.

There was a suggestion that in his first term, he adopted a presidential philosophy not seen since the 19th Century, that congress should really manage the country, with the president just executing their wishes.

But in this the Republican congress failed utterly, with no party or self discipline, they went on a self-destructive spree.

His opinion would also be very important to the debate over the clearly unconstitutional “presidential signing statement”, and many other enlargements of the office, leading to the notion that it has become an “imperial presidency.”

IOW, He’s going to be spending more time on his 100,000 acre Paraguayan retreat.

What was GWB’s last significant political act?
TARP - yes indeed, he should run and hide in shame! JMHO

Of course, the real motivation is to create ‘BUSH SPACE’ for Jeb to continue down the same path in service to Globalist interests, in contra to Main Street interests.

Bush won’t do the one job far too many Americans are willing to do.

Can't say I blame him.

He was good on National Security...and that's about it.

I will make the controversial comment that I see little moral difference between the Bush haters on the Left and the Right.

Bush was one of our greatest Presidents in history and did a tremendous amount of damage to the global America hate machine.

He also demonstrated a fiscally viable approach to the budget.

And yes I have been down both of these alleys and survived the verbal knife fights.

The Ron Pauls who are taking over our foreign policy and conceding dozens of nations to gather into ever greater reservoirs of anti American hate are absurd.

Why not go back to the civilian life, raise goats, serve burgers at a Mickey D’s, write Visual Basic programs for a failing startup, grow arragula, collect $350 unemployment, like the rest of us?! What’s with this pseudo aristocracy in a supposedly egalitarian land? Sorry, I won’t buy your ghostwritten, plagiaristic memoirs!
