George W. Bush left office with the lowest approval ratings of any modern president. Many people view him disfavorably and resent his decisions regarding Iraq. After two years of solitude, he has decided to remerge on the public scene however. He has just released a new memior detailing and defending major points in his life and presidency. He has also reemerged on the television circuit, even making an appearance on Oprah.
With Obama's approval ratings sinking, this is the perfect time for Bush to release his new book. After two years in office, Democrats can no longer blame George W. Bush for the country's problems. Souvenir stores in Washington D.C. have begun selling shirts with Mr. Bush's face on it with the caption "miss me yet?" Bush, however, has been veering away from the political arena, and does not seem to want to rub the Republican win in Obama's face. In fact, he has had only gracious things to say about the current president, and commented very little on his policies. I think this is quite wise of Mr. Bush. It is probably best to just step back and not say much at all. He's probably just grateful Obama's in the hot seat now, instead of him.
