WASHINGTON — President Bush, who has largely refused to comment on the 2008 presidential campaign, offered general guidance Thursday to his successor without talking about any specific candidates.
“You can’t be the president unless you have a firm set of principles to guide you as you sort through all the problems the world faces,” Bush said at a news conference.
“And I would be very hesitant to support somebody who relied upon opinion polls and focus groups to define a way forward for a president,” he said, without identifying any such candidates by name.
