"After one of Obama's blistering speeches against the administration, the president had a very human reaction: He was ticked off," Latimer writes in his forthcoming book, "Speech-Less: Tales of a White House Survivor," which has been excerpted in the October issue of GQ.
"He came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming. 'This is a dangerous world,' he said for no apparent reason, 'and this cat isn't remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you.'"
Bush believed that Hillary Clinton would win the Democratic nomination, but he didn't think much of her as chief executive either, according to Latimer.
"'Wait till her fat keister is sitting at this desk,' [Bush] once said (except he didn't say 'keister')."
When conservatives responded enthusiastically to Palin's selection, Bush advised people to wait "until the bloom is off the rose."
"This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for. She hasn't spent one day on the national level. Neither has her family. Let's wait and see how she looks five days out."
Looks like W was smarter than most people, he hit the nail on the head in regards to both Obama and Palin.
