(CNN) - Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, known for his candor, took a jab at former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell's book, "A Nation of Wusses," and launched an attack line at President Barack Obama.
"Obama hasn't passed a budget in four years, he's a wuss," Sununu, a Republican, said Thursday on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight." "Obama has rejected the recommendation of his own Simpson-Bowles, on a budget package, he's a wuss. He wants to lead from behind, he's a wuss."

Man up, Romney, and release your tax returns.
I totally agree. He should have fought the Republicans instead of trying to work with them.
Romney is a Draft Dodging / War Mongering
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu likes to Bully people around .
Ask Jeanne Shaheen .
He had his butt kicked by a girl !
Sununu, lol repubs better lock him up before he destroys the rest of romneys run for Presdent
Nobody cares what he says, his time has come and gone, he probably wears depends and needs a changing. These old men like Sununu do so much harm to their legacy when they become senile and will say anything when a mic is in front of them. Go home Sununu, wherever that might be.
Have another donut Johnny
Sununu is just an angry ,white , washed-up, old man, that has nothing left but name calling. Sad.
congress has not passed a budget in four years accept the going nowhere waste of time wish list from the house! he rejedted simson boweles because the cuts were not enough and the ones it had were amied right at the middleclass! he leads from most certainly ahead of the do nothing repubs in congress even if all he has is an exsicutive order! three lies right in a row it makes you a conservitive fat face!
I think the Simpson-Bowles was just to satisfy the voters, I don't think it was meant to be nothing more than that which is why Obama ignores it. Of course, I am sure he would find as usual an excuse as to why he is rejecting the very commission Obama created. Obama is nothing more than a very calculated show.
Sununu should be ashame of himself.
He probably thought of this comment while at his Country Club thinking about his money in off shore accounts. Mr Sununu really does not represent Romney, himself, nor the Republican Party well with this type of attack. Mr. Sununu what is Romney's Record? or for that matter what tax rate did he pay – if he paid any taxes – of course he may do that Retro – actively.
Romney is the "wuss" he cannot stand up to Limbaugh on multiple occasions and others in his own party. Obama has made tough calls and called out those in his own party. Sununu is precisely the type of spokesman that independents are turned off by.
You have to luv old guys, the pull no punches and tell it like it is.
John Sununu .. why does anyone listen to you? Why did I just waste my time listening to you?
And all this time I had him pegged as a conservative communist !
Coming from Sununu–siding with Romney who is too scared to release his tax returns.
Karl Rovian projection again.
Sununu? This crook should be in prison.
He didn't say that his hair did.
Uh, excuse me but didn't Willard get 4 draft deferments?
Love it!
Sununu is a rude Walrus!
This Sununu "Sound asleep" is really pathetic!
The guy looks like and talks like a pig. Someone to remind him he is talking about the president of the USA and the commander-in-chief of the US army in derogatory terms
Must be nice to have no budget whatsoever, the height of irresponsability, zero accountability. The most blatant federal assault on THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA thus far
