George W. Bush, former US President today, Thursday
said that he has avoided publicly criticizing President Obama because he feels
it would undermine the office of the presidency.
“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a
former president undermine a current president; I think it’s bad for the
presidency for that matter,” said Thursday evening on Fox News’ “Hannity,”
The former president said that, though he follows
politics and is “very aware of what’s going on,” he has no interest in
generating headlines for himself by bashing his successor.
“Secondly, I really have had all the fame I want,”
he continued. “I really don’t long for publicity. And the truth of the matter
is in order for me to generate publicity I’d have to either attack the
Republican Party, which I don’t want to do, or attack the president, which I
don’t want to do. And so I’m perfectly content to be out of the limelight.
Bush is currently making the media rounds to
promote his new book, “41: A Portrait of My Father,” which he calls a “love
story” about his dad, Former President George H.W. Bush.
