Former President George W. Bush refuses “to undermine” his successor, despite the ideological differences that have prompted President Obama to attack Bush throughout his White House tenure.
“I don’t think it’s good, frankly, for our country to undermine the president and I don’t intend to do so,” Bush said this morning in New York. “But I do intend to remain involved in areas that I’m interested in.”
Bush hosted a tax policy conference today with such Republican lights as Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., who have both endorsed Mitt Romney for president. “I have decided to stay out of the limelight,” said the former president, who has not endorsed a candidate.
President Obama and the White House are attacking Bush and Paul Ryan’s tax cuts today as policies that help the rich at the expense of the middle class.
