Bush in Boston

And he wasn't arrested?

"George W. Bush tells Romney staff to ‘seize the moment’ July 25, 2012

George W. Bush, who is skipping the Republican National Convention and has endorsed but not publicly embraced Mitt Romney, conveyed his support for the presumptive GOP nominee’s campaign Tuesday by visiting his Boston headquarters.

That's pretty bad.

Accompanied by wife Laura Bush, the former president was introduced to the staff by Ann Romney before he spoke, a campaign spokeswoman said.

“The former president praised the steady leadership of the campaign and encouraged staffers present ‘to seize the moment,’ ” ABC News reported.  

That's spooky considering the way he seized that bullhorn on top of that pile of inside job rubble.

Mitt Romney did not attend because he was preparing to speak to a VFW convention in Reno.

While former President George H.W. Bush has appeared with Romney to endorse him, his son has not held the same public event.  

Probably not a good idea to have a photo with the boy.

The Bushes were in Boston to visit a charter school. George W. Bush also addressed the Global Business Travel Association’s annual conference, where he talked briefly about his values and his struggles with alcohol and at length about his presidency. He also hawked his book, “Decision Points.”

Bush was the day’s keynote speaker for more than 6,500 business travel professionals — ranging from company travel managers to representatives from airlines, hotels, and travel technology firms — gathered for a three-day conference at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Bush opened by responding to a dig taken at him by Monday’s keynote speaker, comedian Seth Meyers, who said Bush was speaking because he thought GBTA stood for “George Bush is Totally Awesome.”

Bush, dressed in a suit and light blue tie, countered with: “So GBTA. George Bush Travels Alot.”

Bush did not make any references to the presidential race or Romney during his half-hour speech and half-hour interview with the travel association’s executive director.

Bush said he did not miss much about the presidency.

“I mean, it’s a pain in the [rear] to have to stop at a red light,” he said. “Airplanes are a little tougher these days. But I do miss saluting men and women who have volunteered in the face of danger. I miss being commander in chief.”

And readjusting to civilian life has had its challenges, he said, relaying a story about Laura Bush asking him to do the dishes and referring to it as his “new domestic policy agenda.”

Asked about his legacy, Bush said he wanted to be remembered as a guy who lived life to the fullest and understood the importance of serving mankind. “The legacy is over,” he said. “I did what I did.”  

The legacy will be one of mass-murder based on deception and lies and the torture that flowed from it, you despicable war-criminal cretin.

I should know because I AM HISTORY and I AM the JUDGE!
