George W. Bush has surfaced in the news speaking at a forum sponsored by the George W. Bush Institute. Bush got over his reluctance to weigh in on issues since leaving office and spoke in New York City in favor of tax cuts for the rich or as he now says “the so-called rich”.
“I wish they weren’t called the ‘Bush tax cuts,’ ” he said of the tax rates set to expire at the end of the year. “If they were called some other body's tax cuts, they're probably less likely to be raised.”
Bush, whose time in office among other things included two long deadly wars and the country’s deepest recession claimed he didn’t miss being President however
"I enjoyed it; it was an unbelievably interesting experience," then he added, perhaps after some thoughtful introspection "It was inconvenient to have to stop at some stop signs -- stop lights -- coming over here, but I guess I miss that."
It only took a short speech and a couple news stories to get a stunning reminder of what an awful jackass he was and still is. The President responsible for starting the war in Iraq guesses he misses being able to drive though stop lights. Well, Cheney got a new heart since leaving office but Bush is obviously still trying to function with the same brain.
