<blockquote>
<p>In a 30-minute interview with The Detroit News in Washington on Tuesday, Granholm recalled President Ronald Reagan's &quot;11th commandment&quot; &mdash; to not speak ill of a fellow Republican. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>She said she has her own &quot;12th commandment.&quot; <br />
<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;You don't criticize your successor. You just don't do that,&quot; Granholm said, declining to weigh in on several of the governor's controversial proposals. &quot;(Snyder's) doing the best he can, and he's got some different ideas than what I do, but obviously we all want the state to succeed.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It's refreshing to have an executive that doesn't constantly takes shots at his or her successor. I'm glad she is following the George W. Bush model of post-leadership than the pathetic model presented by past Democrat presidents.</p>";s:6:"format";s:1:"2";}}}
