Bush takes shot at Obama

Former President Bush indirectly criticized President Obama yesterday by taking a few shots at current administration policy.

From the economy to Guantanamo Bay, Bush made clear he does not agree with his successor.

“Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States,” Bush told a crowd of manufacturers in Erie, PA.

But Bush saved his strongest language for Obama’s plan to close Guantanamo Bay and possibly bring some of the detainees to U.S. facilities.

“I told you I’m not going to criticize my successor,” Bush said, before adding: “I’ll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don’t believe that–persuasion isn’t going to work. Therapy isn’t going to cause terrorists to change their mind.”
