Dubya looks awfully comfortable

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Once thing you can say about him is he lacks artifice.

[hlthe2b]

1. He adores Michelle... I noticed him touching her hand and leaning over to whisper to her

So, good on him.

[hlthe2b]

3. My sigline you mean?

Or the fact I'd say something appreciative of GWBush*? I haven't forgiven him for anything, but he's more human than what we have now--by miles and smart enough to appreciate the glorious dignity of Michelle Obama.

[TexasTowelie]

7. Don't worry, she won't be around for long.

[hlthe2b]

9. yeah... my hunch too

[hlthe2b]

14. ahh, your avatar is back...

How're ya doin, Library Girl?

[TexasTowelie]

6. I guess that the library opened late this morning?

[hlthe2b]

12. Library Girl?

blast from the past....

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. It was storming earlier.

It's stopped for the time being, so.....

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. It's too early in the day for your word salad.

[TexasTowelie]

26. Thanks for the weather report.

So much wasted times, so much wasted effort.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. You're welcome.

There was some loud thunder in a summer when we haven't had a lot of storms.

[MineralMan]

13. Non Sequitur of the Day

[JaneQPublic]

5. We're they passing notes?

Coulda sworn I saw Dubya pass Michelle a folded slip of paper, which she seemed to read.

Anyone else see that?

[mfcorey1]

20. Candy, possibly mint! She mouthed, "Thank you."

[JaneQPublic]

22. Ah! Mystery solved.

Thanks.

[DesertRat]

18. Did you see him passing a candy to her?

28. Look at Obama's face in that pic

Think how that must burn T.

[jrthin]

4. He used up all his artifice to get hundreds of thousand people

killed, to put us in an unnecessary war, to unleased a refugee crisis and further destabilize the middle east, and to devastate our economy. No artifice is left or needed; he can let it all hang out.

[malaise]

11. Ding ding

We have a winner

[PatSeg]

21. Just because Bush isn't as bad as Trump

doesn't change history. Few people can say they are the cause of the deaths of hundreds of thousand people, sanctioned torture, invaded a sovereign nation, turned the Mid East into a tinder box, tanked the economy............well, you all know what happened. He doesn't get a pass. Our outrage was genuine and based on real events. Also George Bush was a stepping stone on the path that led us to this point.

All is not forgiven and will not be forgotten. What we have now is what happens when people in government are not held accountable for their actions.

[Solly Mack]

31. Thank you

[PatSeg]

37. My pleasure

I make it a point to repeat this whenever people start to soften on Bush. We didn't all live and breath politics 24/7 for eight years because Bush was an inarticulate goof ball. So many of us here became politically baptized because of that administration.

Democratic Underground, along with a lot of other progressive sites were born because of the outrageous incompetence, deceit, corruption, and greed we witnessed on a daily basis.

So because Trump right now is our worst nightmare, Bush gets a temporary break, but he doesn't get absolution. His misdeeds and crimes will affect us for decades.

[Solly Mack]

38. I don't even give him a break

[PatSeg]

39. Right now Trump and Co.

are first and foremost on mind, so I don't focus too much on Bush unless his name comes up. In reminding others, I am also reminding myself, he was every bit as bad as I thought he was.

[peekaloo]

8. Never forget what Karl Rove did to McCain and his daughter.

The clown in him is aching to get out.

on edit: she-it I read that as uncomfortable......probably relieved he's no longer seen as the worst pretzeldent evah!

[mfcorey1]

19. Especially when he is next to Michelle! LOL

[jalan48]

23. Trump has made us forget how awful he was. Of course he's comfortable these days.

[jcgoldie]

24. He should be

The best thing to happen to W is Donald Trump since he's 10x's worse in every way that Bush was bad.

[NotASurfer]

25. It was remarkable how Presidential he seemed by comparison

In comparison to the current Pres and the mind-control device disguised as a bad comb-over that operates him

[Demovictory9]

33. +1000

[Turbineguy]

27. It's nice to be Dubya

since trump took over. Comparatively speaking, GW Bush has become of the the greatest US Presidents ever.

[Cicada]

30. I hate it that W is so damned likable

Iraq was evil, I know W should go to hell. That’s why I hate the mixed feelings I get from his personal charm. There are probably conservatives like that about Bill Clinton. I was shocked to here Brit Hume say on Fox : It’s impossible not to like Bill Clinton.

[Demovictory9]

34. Dubya has some humanity in him. Trump has none.

[Gothmog]

32. Yep

36. There are no great little moments with W in the frame

I'll never forget what a total mess he made of everything and the PTSD the entire country went through because he ignored warnings and let Sept 11 happen.

Americans were running through the streets for their lives. That's how crappy republicans are at security.

Also, he stole elections. He condoned torture. He let Katrina victims die. He tanked the economy.

I can't stand him.

[Julian Englis]

35. Dubya ought look comfortable--Trump has made Dubya seem like he was almost competent. n/t
