Bush’s Blunt Words: ‘When You Say Something as President, You Better Mean It’

Kelsey Bolar •   November 9, 2014

On the 60th anniversary of CBS News’ “Face the Nation” today, former President George W. Bush talked to host Bob Schieffer about his time in the White House and a new book he wrote about his father, former President George H.W. Bush, called “41: A Portrait of My Father.”

But the biggest news may have been the “subtle dig at President Barack Obama,” according to Politico. In comments about the Iraq War and Saddam Hussein, Bush told Schieffer, “When you say something as president, you better mean it.” He added, “Words mean something.”

Politico noted that Obama has been “criticized for not taking stronger actions to back up his tough talk on Syria.”
