Presidential Protocol Healed?
There was an unwritten rule that former presidents not criticize sitting ones. As we all know, Bill Clinton broke that tradition against George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter piled on, and even meddled in foreign policy.
What will we see during the Obama Administration?

Bush is not vindictive like Clinton and Carter…and other liberals.

Hmm, the 2nd question is the toughie.
If the Obama admin doesn’t have any huge setbacks or problems (and the economic crisis resolves itself without too much problem), Obama will be revered by the former prez’s.
If he screws up, which to me is quite likely, then they’ll most likely turn on him at the earliest opportunity.

Actually, if you had had Carter as a vote, I’d have said yes. He doesn’t care who he’s talking about, if they don’t fit his world view he criticizes them, unless they are some sort of socialist tyrant like Mugabe.

George W. Bush has too much class to trash a sitting president.
Clinton and Carter are both window-lickers who will trash Uhbama as soon as they find it advantageous. Clinton for political reasons to further “his wife”’s ambitions, Carter to enhance his own desperately clung to (ir) relevancy.

Bush won’t, why because he wanted a more civilised presidency. We are all mad that he never shot back. He purposely did that because he wanted real change. I also do not think Clinton and Carter will meddle because they are part of the democrats idiocracy. What ever Obama does will be preplanned by Carter/Clinton/Pelosi/Reid so no complaints from them. After all Obama’s Change to something new has been placing all the old gaurd back in. No change there. Although I heard a leftist reported label this as how smart Obama is by putting Clintons people in. But that was not what he ran on and promised everyone.
