Crazy? Maybe. Definitely Classy

Unlike former President Clinton, former President GW Bush has refused to comment on President Obama. For the most part, at least in my un-expert historical opinion (I was a history major), the vast vast majority of presidents do not comment on their successors. Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Bush I did not criticize or comment on their successors. However, if you notice, former President Clinton constantly criticized and commented on the presidency of Bush.

I think this has more to do with former President Clinton's need to be in the spotlight than any malice aforethought. However, I always thought it was classy that presidents did not criticize their successors. I'm glad Bush is going to do the same thing.
