Former President George W. Bush says presidents better mean what they say — a subtle dig at President Barack Obama, who’s been criticized for not taking stronger actions to back up his tough talk on Syria.
“When you say something as president, you better mean it,” Bush said in an interview airing Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Words mean something.”

With my basic education, I shuddered when I heard him utter that word. And are screeners and handlers also tin-eared or does the Shrub-dolt overrule somebody educating him about the historical connotation of things. Of course, I didn't have Shrub's legacy, elite education.
