"Had he said what he was going to do as a candidate, [Obama] would have lost," Bush said. The former governor was most critical of the president’s spending practices, including the economic stimulus bill, as well as his "cap and trade" policy to regulate greenhouse gases.
Bush also played down the president's current popularity and suggested "there will be a push back." He told interviewer Tucker Carlson that his brother, former president George W. Bush, was more popular during his first 100 days than Mr. Obama.
"His popularity is no greater — in fact it's less — than what my brother's was during the beginning of his tenure, in a time of unbelievable friction," Bush said of the current president. "His approval ratings were higher than Barack Obama's during his first one hundred days."
