Former US president George W. Bush says he is "trying to regain a sense of anonymity” and therefore does not intend to be a thorn in the side of his successor, Barack Obama.
美國前總統布殊說,他在“試圖重新在某種意義上匿名”,因此不打算在他的繼任人奧巴馬身邊成為荊棘。
"I have no desire to see myself on television. I don't want to be on a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. I'm trying to regain a sense of anonymity," he told a group of his White House aides at a breakfast Friday.
“我不渴望在電視上看到自己,我不想在前輩的小組指示現任的人怎做;我在試圖重新在某種意義上匿名,”他星期五早餐時告訴一個白宮助手小組。
"I didn't like it when a certain former president — and it wasn't 41 or 42 — made my life miserable," Bush added in a direct reference to former president Jimmy Carter.
“我不喜歡當某前總統 - 這不是41或42 - 使我的生活悲慘,”布殊補充,直接提到美國前總統卡特。
In the twilight years of the Bush presidency Jimmy Carter had emerged as a vocal critic of US policies and had gone as far as describing it as the "worst American administration in history" in view of its "adverse impact on the nation around the world.

According to Carter, the Bush and then vice president Dick Cheney had “deliberately misled the American people about the danger in Iraq to begin with, the causes for going to war in Iraq, and they have also misled the American people about what is happening in Iraq" since the US invasion of 2003.

Efforts by Bush to seek 'anonymity' come at a time his administration is still under fire for a wide array of issues and scandals, including the use of torture against terror suspects, the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens and, last but not least, economic policies that have pushed the US financial system to the point of no return.

In remarks delivered later at the Friday breakfast meeting, Bush also poked fun at his own intelligence, saying that the fact that he is working on a memoir “is going to come as quite a shock to people up here that I can write a book, much less read one."
