Yeah, I think it’s that and his legacy more so than checkbook that he’s worried about when he attacks Obama since he was attacking Obama early on. I think perhaps Bush is too diplomatic to engage in these kind of attacks or he realizes that Cheney and some of the others really had fucked up policies.

Harry Reid told it like it is.

“Departing from Carney’s stone-faced approach, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) took to the Senate floor to lambaste the former vice president for doling out advice about a costly conflict that many believe was a misguided effort engineered by the Bush administration.

“If there’s one thing this country does not need, is that we should be taking advice from Dick Cheney on wars,” Reid said. “Being on the wrong side of Dick Cheney is being on the right side of history. To the architects of the Iraq War who are now so eager to offer their expert analysis, I say, Mr. President, thanks, but no thanks. Unfortunately, we have already tried it your way and it was the biggest foreign policy blunder in the history of the country.”
