Former President George W. Bush went off on his former vice president and defense secretary, stating bluntly that “they did not make one f****** decision.” Bush made the inflammatory remark about his former colleagues in Mark K. Updegrove’s book The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which is scheduled to be released November 14.
The 43rd president pushed back against critics who claim he did not make major decisions during his presidency, and that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made most of the important decisions in the White House.
They “didn’t make one f****** decision,” Bush claimed. “The fact that there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about who the president was, blows my mind.”

Updegrove’s book describes the relationship between the younger Bush and his father, but his book is making headlines ahead of its November 14 release.
Other excerpts from the book that are already public quote both former presidents making disparaging statements about President Trump.
The elder Bush attacked Trump’s leadership style and called the current president a “blowhard.”
The younger Bush also made his disdain for Trump known recently in an October speech at the George W. Bush Institute, where he rejected Trump’s ideology and defended globalism.

Isn’t that amazing, considering how they go after Trump.
It’s hard to fathom these guys could be so bad.
They found nothing worth addressing when it came to Obama.
I’m mean that’s just shocking.
It’s fun and good for you too.
Liberals are still going to hate and ridicule you George.
G.W. is a regular Chatty Kathy now that Obama is out of office...
I stopped defending Dubya after he fired Rumsfeld. Proved to me he didn’t believe the buck stopped with him.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep!
Quite revealing...
What’s so sad about all this is the totally lost legacy for decency the Bush ex-POTUSes had, if nothing else. They have thrown that away in their irrational hatred of President Trump, while having spent decades now cozying up to the Clintons and later the Obamas.
Soon enough, tho we know not when, ‘41 will be passing on to his eternal reward. There will likely be a laying in state at the US Capitol, preceded by a caisson roll up Constitution Avenue in DC.
We went to that for President Reagan and almost certainly would have gone also for GHWB. Not now. GHWB was never a RWR but, we thought, was a decent person. I no longer believe he’s a ‘decent person,’ and will be otherwise engaged whenever his public funereal services take place.
And Trump is the “blowhard.”
Heh heh heh...
I hope we aren’t disappointed. I doubt we will be.
If Gore/Kerry had been elected, maybe Obama would never have reached the office. Truth is, after Reagan, this country was an auto-pilot with destiny. At some point in time, a Trump like character would finally be elected to advance the counter-revolution and restore some semblance of constitutional order.
One wonders if “W” is back smoking pot again?
I always thought it was the president who was supposed to make decisions.
“I stand corrected.”
Only by a very small amount!
“It is better to not talk and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt”
Bible(?) and possibly Mark Twain
Proverbs, Twain, and Lincoln. So much for George - he failed to read all three.
So then you are completely personally responsible for all the Americans killed over there, eh Georgie? And all for nothing.
they weren’t to make decisions, you were,. they were there to advise and assist
So he’s mad at these guys because they didn’t do his job for him?
He doesn’t realize that this makes him look worse, not better, does he?
Or go after a dem, just once, to humor us.
