Bush Won't Criticize Obama

If only today's government were as mature as the former president who we drove out of office, constantly kicking him on the way out.
I'm tired of listening to congressmen argue over who is at fault for the AIG bailout. No one cares who was at fault. These guys are afraid of having something negative on them in fear that they may not get re-elected. As usual, they put their own re-election ahead of everything else. I don't care who's fault it is, but even more, I don't want to listen to a bunch of grown men argue about it. How are parents supposed to raise their kids to be responsible when guys running the country like Chris Dodd go on TV and say "Someone must have changed my words after I sent the Dodd Provision out." Seriously, this is stuff I outgrew in third grade.
Anyway, Bush announced at his first speech since leaving office that he would not criticize the Obama administration because "Obama deserves my silence." Who would've thought, just two months in, George W. Bush would be the one who seems classy and mature? Think about the abuse this guy took. For the last few years, the cornerstone of Obama's endless presidential campaign was that George Bush's policies are responsible for everything that has ever gone wrong. How does Bush respond? By making the transition as smooth as possible and then saying the new President deserves his silence. Mr. Bush, hats off to you, sir.
Here's what I meant by kicking him on the way out. First, about 2 weeks ago, Obama went public with documents from the Bush administration about fighting terrorism that were never supposed to go public (sorry, lost the link on that one). There was no reason to do so...other than to try to show how terrible of a president GWB was. Now, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano goes out of her way to avoid the word "terror." Apparently, terrorist attacks are now "man-caused disasters." The goal of this is basically to "Stop using the fear tactics of old." Unbelievable. It's a word. How much damage can a word do? This administration is apparently spending more time finding new ways to say the same things that the Bush administration said rather than actually protecting me. Here's a word of advice, Ms. Napolitano: start doing your job of protecting the country and stop worrying about semantics. The people you save will appreciate it.
