Yesterday, on Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume interviewed former President George Herbert Walker Bush and his son, President, George W. Bush.
After both men graciously offered their respect for the incoming President stating they had had nothing but confidence in the cabinet appointments that President Elect Obama has made to date, they expressed their admiration for the way in which the transition has been proceededing seamlessly.
Brit Hume then posed a question regarding those former Presidents who have sharply criticized their successors to the Office of the President. George H.W. Bush responding by saying...
"Well, why be out there looking like you're carping and criticizing and know everything? I mean, I've heard what the President said about President Obama, President-Elect Obama. I feel the same way; support him where you can, and don't go out there criticizing and carping. You look small yourself for one thing, but that's not the main reason; the main reason is he needs support. And if it's something you disagree with violently, sit on the sidelines and shut up."
If only Jimmy Carter had the class of either of these two gentlemen!
