It's called old-fashioned respect for the office of the Presidency. The corruption of this long-held 'unwritten rule' was so that we didn't give our enemies a way to criticize us, by criticizing our own first. Do you really not get that? Carter and Clinton disgust me because they went overseas, took money and trampled all over Bush. Do you see Bush doing that? No. He's a CLASS act. Always was, always will be. It's the Kennedy Democrats who work behind the scenes and overseas and then scream that no one likes us!! You know why the unwritten code Bob?

He didn't criticize President Obama." He went on to say, "The media, including our friend Mr. Drudge, over hyped this a little bit." Follow up:

If you see Dubya's comments as slamming Obama, then that's how you'll see it. If not, then not. Dubya did say that he thought that Barack's policies would hurt the U.S. (Socialized Medicine?) I'll give Dubya credit that he wasn't so obvious as Cheney - he wasn't trying to protect his ass from prosecution, he was just stating an opinion differing from our current president. I've never understood the unwritten code where a former president doesn't criticize the sitting president. Why not? And it is true that the Washington Times reporter did state that this was slamming - and that the Washington Times is a conservative paper (owned by the Moonies). That is a fact. It’s all about spin.

Obama single them out recently as the only news media that constantly did negative stories on him! What a laugh. 8 years of-- NBC,CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Meet the Depressed, This Week, Face the Nation, Al-Jazeera, NYTimes, SF Chronicle, LA Times....and ON and ON---banging the drum AGAINST Bush and this sissy can't handle FOX doing stories about him. Guess FOX needs to work on that sycophantic status. :) citi Well FOX must be doing its job. Obama single them out recently as the only news media that constantly did negative stories on him!

Or CBS? Or NBC? Or ABC? It seems all of them are in love with the current occupant of the White House. Why is it so terrible that FOX reports the way they do? MSNBC slams the former President every chance they get - ever listen to Keith Olbermann lately? or even Rachel Maddow? It isn't just a FOX problem. The entire news media has become so slanted either in one direction or the other that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a balanced report. It just boggles my mind why the media wanted to create a controversy where none existed. The former President did not slam the current President. Unfortunately the mainstream media (BOTH Liberal and Conservative) was eager to try and start a war between the 43rd President and his successor. What a shame!
