>> Do you notice how GW stays pretty much to himself these days? He gets what he did. He doesn't "stay pretty much to himself". Not sure where you got that idea. He's out constantly doing things, particularly with veterans, who apparently can't get enough of him. What he DOES do is refuse to comment on politics. And he has explained that. The Framers of the Constitution were extremely concerned with the deleterious effect a former president would have on current presidents, if the former president were running around shooting off his mouth about national events. (See: Jimmy Carter, who doesn't understand this concept). Some might call it "staying out of the way." His dad did it; Reagan did it. I suppose the only presidents, these days, who don't stay out of the way recently have been Carter, and to a lesser extent, Clinton. Bush's ability to stay out of the political fray while his successor behaves stupidly is a virtue. I couldn't do it; you couldn't do it. But Barack Obama isn't taking ANYONE's advice, and certainly would take the advice of GWB, so while it might be personally satisfying to point out Obama's considerably flaws, it would be (a) pointless and (b) never-ending because there are simply far too many.
