Bush on Clinton and Obama

George Bush weighed in Friday on the Democratic candidates in an interview with an Italian journalist.

"I thought it was a really good statement, powerful moment when a major political party nominates an African-American man to be their standard bearer. And it's good for our democracy that that happened. And we also had a major contender being a woman. Obviously Hillary Clinton was a major contender. So I think it's a good sign for American democracy."

This is the kind of thing our pathetic president should have been saying over the years. He's been such a partisan hack, so oblivious to the notion that he's the president of the entire country, that you just don't expect to hear anything of graciousness or a sense of things coming from his lips.

One of my biggest objections to Bush is that he chose to go it alone, not caring for the rest of us.
