Obama still talks to Bush, but cuts no corners on how Bush administered policies

Yesterday it was reported by CNN.com's Kristi Keck that President Obama has been keeping in touch with former President Bush since succeeding him. Wow... All this time, President Bush has been keeping quiet while our new president slams him time and time again. President Obama claims that it's kind of a tradition to keep in touch with an ex-president. Recently, President Obama claims that the Bush administration is the blame for what has happened after the 9/11 attack. Obama mentions that the previous government "cut too many corners and made some decisions that were contrary to who we are as a people." Would President Obama outwardly say that Bush was one of the worst presidents in history? He fell short of commenting on the ideas floating around that Bush practiced torture. In this case being as kind natured as our new president is, most likely he would never say such a thing in a report that the media would tear apart, but you could only assume that knowing that Obama was put in this mess mainly because of the incompetence of the former president, that the idea has never been ruled out for Obama. Yet, Obama gives President Bush credit for some of his mistakes, but says that there are still consequences, for example, failing to act on the situation in Guantanamo. He calls the prison problem there a very messy situation. President Obama is taking the heat from Congress regarding Guantanamo, but it is the opinion of this editor that eventually when Guantanamo is only a thought,the people will look back and decide that it was the best thing to do.
Obama has declassified many documents in his short 4 months in office, but yet President Bush has failed to criticize the new president. Unlike former vice-president Cheney, who has just recently openly criticized the President, has been gaining popularity with the people, mainly the 20% of the American people who are still considered Republicans. Bush wasn't even concerned to watch the speeches of Obama and Cheney, but instead decided to travel to New Mexico as he was a keynote speaker to students at Artesia high School at a fund raising dinner.
