Do you remember when GWB was asked if there was anything he regretted?
Nothing came to (his) mind...
While I don't recall this specifically, it doesn't surprise me in the least. GWB isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
As far as the articles you quoted, I never claimed that Obama did not respect or admire past Presidents. You had stated
The current leadership gets the blame & the glory, for 'current events'.
Having not seen evidence of that, I asked for examples. And I'm not bashing on Obama here - I've never seen ANY President say "Because of choices my predecessor made, things are wonderful." Have you? How about "My predecessor left things in great shape, and I've screwed it up."? Haven't heard that either. Ever. Not saying it's never happened - just saying I've never heard about it.
