The Obama campaign's response, according to Politico:

“President Bush has endorsed Governor Romney, and Governor Romney has endorsed a return to Bush-era economic policies: massive tax cuts for the wealthiest and no accountability for Wall Street, which led to huge deficits and tepid growth. Now Romney wants to double down on those same, failed policies – expanding upon the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires at a cost of $5 trillion, and, once again, allowing Wall Street to write its own rules.  While President Obama has pursued policies that have helped create more than 4.2 million private sector jobs, revived manufacturing and the auto industry, Governor Romney would return to the same policies that dragged our economy down and punished the middle class.”

Obama knows that Bush was the one who began the auto bailouts, doesn't he?

...Malaysia is a very pro-American country.

Dubya has become a veritable recluse, unlike recent ex-Presidents except for Reagan (and that was a matter of health). The only times that I have seen him in public is at baseball games in Arlington, Texas with Texas Rangers baseball team owner and pitching great Nolan Ryan nearby.

He actually gives alot of speeches and does alot of things, but the media is focused on inside domestic political baseball which Bush is trying to avoid playing.

If Bush pulled a Cheney and said Obama is making America less safe he would be all over the TV for weeks. The speeches like the one he gave today are ignored by the TV media.

I say we extradite him. Tongue

On a note more related to the topic, did the elevator door literally close on Dubya?

Likely not.

Something more like he looked up with a twinkle in his eye, said "I'm for Mitt Romney" in a slightly-raspy southern drawl, then the doors dramatically closed.

Romney attacking Obama for giving a health care mandate.
Obama attacking Romney over Bush tax cut extensions.
These two sure are characters.

Dubya is rather strict about avoiding being enmeshed in dumping on his successor, because he takes seriously this Presidential Club stuff (I know that from watching a CSPAN Brian Lamb interview of an author with a new book about "The Club"). That might explain some of this. Just a thought.
