All the living presidents gathered the other day, as you probably know. Here's a short video of Bush being awkward and Obama being awesome.
Here's a really depressing line from the article:
"All of the living presidents were last at the White House in 1981: Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and the incumbent Ronald Reagan. On that day, all the presidents stood in a circle inside the White House, discussing news of the world. The dominant topic? Then, as now, it was the Middle East. "

I know conventional wisdom is that Bush is really charming; every profile I read by a liberal reporter starts by explaining what a surprisingly nice guy he is. But when I see videos of him in non-scripted social situations (which this probably doesn't even really count as), he strikes me as totally awkward.
ReplyDeleteAlso, in the interest of stating the obvious: Seeing Obama standing there among all those old white dudes is pretty awesome.
