What's Bush up to these days? Andy Card knows
What's former president Bush up to these days? Writing both a book and some e-mails, apparently.
Andrew Card, who served as Bush's chief of staff from 2000-2006, gave a glimpse into the former president's post-election life today at the Massachusetts State House.
President Bush "is exercising tremendous discipline, he's been working on his book, he's been involved in his community, he's been speaking on a college campus at SMU without a lot of fanfare," Card said.
Card says he has communicated with President Bush, mostly via e-mail, a few times since the election.
"He recognizes that he served 8 years and the constitution doesn't allow him to serve as president again and now he's going to let the other guy live up to the job," Card added.
Card, a former state representative from Holbrook, talked about Bush while attending a memorial service for George Keverian, a former speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

" let the other guy live up to the job"...
You mean "let the other guy clean up his 8 year collossal failure and struggle to help dig the nation out from under the rubble", don't you Andy?
And Bush is working on his book? LOL. Who's sharpening the crayons for him?
Obama has done more to harm this country in just his short time in office than Bush ever did.
Why doesnt the Bush bashers go back to there huts, drink theri cool aid, and worship teh new Messiah that is ruining not only my life, my kids life, but theri kids life as well.....adn now he admits he only has teh money to stop middle tax increase for 2 years.....adn then all hell will break loose..
way to go voters
I can't stand hearing these Obama supporters that use this code phrase, "the mess that we inherited." It is obvious that Obama voters don't know anything about capitalism, free markets and economic cycles. Bush did not personally create this mess. It has been decades in the making from the stupid American people that always want more than they can afford and then want Government to baby them and bail them out for their selfish mistakes. Obama planned to convert our country to a European style of government from day one and he has welcomed this bad economy as an excuse to spend money and force his liberal agenda on America. He won because he speaks better and looks better than McCain. Period. . It's time to
It is obvious that the Republicans do not know anything about capitalism, free markets and economic cycles! If they did they would not say the sky is falling and we need Trillions to fix the problem that they said did not exist a week before ;) So just take the back seat and let the leader who got twice as much vote as McCain bring back the order not only to the US but to the rest of the world. Its very interesting that during the past few elections every time a Democrat got elected we started to prosper and even have surplus as oppose to the Republicans! I guess the Republicans have forgotten that we like to see numbers in positive and not negative. So they should not consider an absolute value of the economy as real!
I'm a huge supporter of Obama, but having lived in D.C all eight years of Bush's term it was time for a change. It could have been McCain but we needed some one new. And to the intended racial slurs, by a young man s comment above me and some others. Ignorance is bliss until you find out that your the only one enjoying it. Oh and republicans wait to go twice.

There once was a woman named Dot,
Who lived off of pig shit and snot,
When she couldn't have these she ate the cream cheese,

I guess most people are forgetting that Bush kept a nation safe with new policies. Hard to blame a guy for that. Do you remember the days following 9/11 or is it just me. Obama may ruin this country with radical and liberal views, we will wait and see.
