8. He announced a month or two ago that he wasn't going to be making public appearances.

He knows his legacy is a ****ed-up economy, a ****ed-up foreign policy, two ****ed-up wars, and his own political party ****ed three ways to Sunday. He knows, deep down inside, that he is a failure. He knows, deep down inside, that brother JEB would have done a better job (but still ****ed up.) And he's afraid to show his face.
On edit: here's a link to his January announcement: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/28/bush-says... /
I think he knew that Pres. Obama was getting closer to getting OBL, even though it would be another 1-2 months before they started final preparations to run this op.
Sounds more like Obama, a ****ed up economy, ****ed up foreign policy, 3 ****ed up wars now with a possible 4th since we pissed off Pokistahn, his own political party ****ed up 4 ways to Sunday (remember the 2010 election).

12. you know what, I just think he is completely disconnected & disinterested anymore
he doesn't have the compunction or moral imperative for self reflection.
I think he is just totally "gone" from his former public life - it's too much cognitive dissonance for him.
Once again you are thinking of Obama, he just wants to play basketball and golf.

15. When O'Donnell said it, I suggested to my husband ...
That either he didn't want to play second fiddle or they figured they couldn't wring the booze out of him in just two days.
Yeah, it was a nasty thing to say -- but I swear it was the first thing that occurred to me.
Funny thing is, Obama's doctor advised that he cut down his alcohol intake, I don't recall Bush's doctor ever saying that.

18. But I thought Bush was responsible for OBL's death
Doesn't he want to party like it's 1599?
I'm certain if it backfires then all of a sudden the DUmp will be happy to blame Bush.
Personally I think Bush made a good call to let Barry have his moment in the spotlight. This isn't about any president, this is about the country and our brave service members who made this happen. If not for our military and our intelligence agencies then Obama would still be without a single success.
