And the class of the Bush family:

"...After the interview was over and the tape recorder was turned off, we chatted for a few more minutes. It was then I asked Bush what he thought of Obama’s performance in office, hoping for a candid answer.
I remember him saying two things in response (and I’m paraphrasing now because the recorder was turned off). The first reply, delivered with that classic George W. Bush half-smile and twinkle in his eye, was that being president was “a lot tougher than it looks.” Even in private, that’s as close he would get to criticizing President Obama.
But it was the second thing he said that struck me more. Bush said “the job is hard enough” without having your predecessor out in public mucking things up...."
"Two years ago, George W. Bush appeared on Fox News to promote yet another book, “41: A Portrait of My Father.” Host Sean Hannity asked Bush why he had made the decision to stay silent during Obama’s presidency, despite having opinions about some of Obama’s actions.
“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president,” Bush said. “I think it’s bad for the presidency, for that matter.”
At that time Democrats, and President Obama, agreed with George W. Bush on this point and applauded him for it. But not anymore."
