Bush to Obama on Osama: Good call!
Read Time:1 Minute, 18 Second
If nothing else the former president seems to be a good sport, unlike his old comrades, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. Actually, when you come to think about it, Mr. Bush has been quiet on the Obama administration, neither criticizing or praising, at least until now.
Here is the story summary from our pals at Newser:
George W. Bush was reading My Pet Goat to schoolchildren when he got word of the 9/11 attacks, and now we know his whereabouts when the Osama bin Laden story finally ended: “I was eating souffle at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies.” Informed that President Obama wanted to talk, Bush “excused myself and went home to take the call,” he told a conference of hedge fund managers in Vegas, reports ABC News. “Obama simply said, ‘Osama bin Laden is dead.'”
Bush said he praised Obama’s decision to go ahead with the raid, telling the president, “Good call.” As for his personal reaction to the killing: He wasn’t “overjoyed,” because it was a matter of justice, not “hatred,” he said. “The guy is dead. That is good.” As for the SEALs: “I met SEAL Team Six in Afghanistan. They are awesome, skilled, talented, and brave. I said, ‘I hope you have everything you need.’ One guy said, ‘We need your permission to go into Pakistan and kick ass.'” (Click to read about why bin Laden didn’t think killing Joe Biden was necessary.)

Well thought out.
jacque jacque jacque…no, no, no….
Hatred is destructive. Bush complimented Obama and, according to the above post, has remained quiet whilst Obama has been Prez.
Whatever Bush was as Prez he’s kept a dignified silence and, on breaking it, has complimented Obama.
Chill out babe. Life goes on eh?
Look on the bright side…at least you didn’t have Blair and Mandelson and Brown to contend with…compaired to that deadly trio Bush was a puppy dog.
Go tickle his tummy and move on….
I didn’t give a shit what he said or thougth when he was in office and could care less what he says or thinks now..
