1. Remember when they said only Nixon could go to China?

Well I guess only Bush can talk tolerance toward Muslims. The second Pres. Obama does this, he's labeled one. Ridiculous.

3. Dubya's silence shows he's hoping this will work as a wedge issue for GOP in November

Sadly, it is not unexpected from this man. The time to speak up is now.

4. Agreed. Probably told to keep his trap shut by the GOP.

5. You know I have to agree with that to some extent,

I think it is the job of the President to try and defuse something as divisive as this has become. Where is the leadership? The leadership from all three branches of government both parties should be speaking out on a Constitutional issue such as this. The Republicans have been running around saying Obama has shredded the Constitution and here is a clear cut example of the Republicans violating the 1st amendment and everyone is silent. I think the President should have a prime time address on this and try and defuse this. I think he could get every x President to back him up publicly on this issue.

6. Bush doesn't want to hurt his new book sales.

7. I don't need him. And I can't imagine anyone else does either.

8. it was scary enough when Reagan made Nixon look somewhat reasonable in comparison

It was scarier still when George W. managed to make Reagan look somewhat reasonable in comparison.

Things are really out of hand when today's Republicans have managed to make George W. look somewhat reasonable in comparison.

Will Republicans a few years from now manage to make today's Republicans look somewhat reasonable in comparison?
