 kudos to granholm no really if only bill clinton and jimmy carter followed the same rule that jennifer granholm adheres to  so far in a 30minute interview with the detroit news in washington on tuesday granholm recalled president ronald reagan s 11th commandment mdash to not speak ill of a fellow republican she said she has her own 12th commandment you don t criticize your successor you just don t do that granholm said declining to weigh in on several of the governor s controversial proposals 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 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 postleadership than the pathetic model presented by past democrat presidents
