(14,308 posts)Give him credit. He does seem to enjoy himself, regardless of the situation or company.
On edit, Pres Obama looks like he's saying, "Just don't look at him."

But seriously, I never went to bed worried about him being a Putin puppet (he was Cheney's puppet), or Cheney being a Putin puppet. This time it's different.

(6,154 posts)Don't get me wrong everything his presidency stood for is largely detestable. Thanks to Cheney and gang trillions were wasted, hundreds of thousands died needlessly and the vacuum they created in the middle East allowed for the rise of ISIS. But Bush himself as an individual I've always seen as something of a meek and easily cowed buffoon. Controlled by much darker forces in his government. I almost feel sorry for him... Almost. At any rate by comparison to Trump I think Bush may be a downright fine fellow. So long as you don't talk politics. Trump on the other hand is a sociopathic narcissist who knows how to use people, enjoys using people, and is drunk on his own power and ego. He's a despicable human being.
Jake Stern
(3,145 posts)A couple friends of the family met Bush and their description of him surprised me. They expected a loud mouthed jerk but said he was warm and laid back. Talked to them like he knew them for years.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Guy seems to be enjoying his post-presidency.
He doesn't have that perpetually peeved thing, anymore, that so many active republucan pols have while they're still in office. I dont know, maybe they feel they need to adopt that persona because their base is so angry.

I think he's just clowning. He has a reputation for doing that.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,676 posts)listen to the speech. But I would think he'd be happy today because he will no longer be regarded as the worst President in American history.

Either that or he's trying not to laugh at the pitifully low numbers of people who showed up for the short fingered vulgarian's ceremony. Or maybe not cry at the fascist speech that Cheeto was giving.
