Earlier this week -- as he was barnstorming the country for Barack Obama -- former President Bill Clinton subbed in for the president as Obama flew back to Washington to oversee the country's response to a major hurricane.

 

That would seem an appropriate context to ask the question, why hasn't the most recent Republican President, George Bush, been barnstorming the country for Mitt Romney?:idunno:

 

It says a lot that for most Americans this sounds like an absurd question.

 

Clinton was a major featured speaker at the Democratic Convention. Bush wasn't even invited to Tampa.

 

Bush is not campaigning for Romney because he and the policies he implemented are politically radioactive to most American voters.

 

George Bush is off in political Siberia because the Romney campaign is doing everything humanly possible to prevent voters from realizing that Romney intends to return precisely those same failed Bush policies to the White House if he is elected president next week.

I think President Bush made it clear, from the time he left office, that he has pretty much given up politics of any kind. You really need a new tune, I think your record is stuck.

Spoken like true Republican covering for ole worn out failed policies that have "trickled down" since the ole Gipper!:isurrender:

It's deer season in Texas. Duh.

Do you have EMT's on speed dial for Tuesday night if the President loses? I hope you survive if he loses...

You know in your mind that wont happen!

I do find it interesting that Bush's policies are considered too radioactive for Romney to be around but when an Obama supporter brings up that the policies implemented under Bush were the cause for the economy and the recession of 2008 Obama haters say to quit blaming Bush. That makes no sense to me.

Actually, the Barney Frank pushed Fannie/Freddie debacle that led to the housing meltdown started under Clinton.

In my opinion, President Bush was a terrible President, and had terrible policies. He cut taxes while increasing spending. Other than the tax cutting, I consider President Bush a Democrat. President Obama did inherit a mess. But President Obama made it worse (as far as the national debt is concerned). I am voting for Governor Romney but I will never defend President Bush.

Kinda like Obama supporters blaming Bush but never mention that 9/11 happened during his presidency.

He is busy counting cow patties and shoveling horse crap on his ranch.

But then that gets to us spending tons of money and many soldiers killed fighting the wrong war in Iraq searching for Weapons of Mass Destruction that never existed.

And maybe if we hadn't fought an imaginary war we could have had the money to get us out of that debacle.

That's a first. Can't see I have ever seen President Bush labeled a democrat. Funny how a label can change so much. He never seemed like a democrat to me.

 

The mess was and is a mess. Would have been regardless of who won. One group of people would be mad and suffering more than the other and we'd be exactly where we are right now. Obama haters should probably be glad he won in 2008 because he probably would have won this year anyways. At least if he wins this year you'll only have 4 more years instead of 8.

Seriously? I hear that all the time. The dude spent money like it was going out of style. All time record levels until now.
