Ray Pellerin he was a terrible president with a broad range of terrible policies from massive tax cuts to the rich to the so-called “war on terror” and the Patriot Act. And while I agree that Obama was a mediocre president and trump is just an idiot, that does not compare to the historic financial crisis and ensuing recession that occurred under his administration. He was, quite simple, bad, and he received criticism from across the political spectrum for his inadequacies and failures, which is partially what caused the Democrats to regain control of Congress in the 2006 elections. However that is of relatively little importance, nothing more than just another blight on the embarrassment that was presidency. Don’t get me wrong though, he was, relatively speaking, terrible, but not the worst. Let’s just see what happens if Trump gets re-elected.
For a guy who couldn't put two sentences together, he reads flawlessly.

Baby Bush did some pretty horrible things. But they were mostly based off patriotism and adherence to conservativism orthodoxy. The Idiot currently in the WH is a self admitted sexual assaulter, not so in the closet bigot, and all around bully. Bush could take and give a little teasing. The Idiot's ego is way too fragile for that. That's why he has avoided it three years in a row. No else has done that. Even when Reagan was shot he at least called in to this event. No, history will not be kind to The Idiot. But even that is nicer than what he so richly deserves.

Laugh out loud funny. This guy has a real warmth and ability to laugh at himself. "I don't have the slightest idea what I was saying there". There is an empathy there for other people that made him likeable as a human being even if you didn't agree with his politics. I'm not completely sure he was really up to the job, but he mostly tried to do the right thing. Most importantly he cared about America and Americans and defended them against all enemies foreign and domestic. And he passed the acid test - He realised this included Russia.

The W that made the questionable choices was most likely Darth Chenny and the Establishment forcing a certain direction.

He seemed a bit unsure as to know what to do. I'd hope that if I were in the big seat, and an aide tells me that our country is under co-ordinated attack, I would give that my absolute top priority. In every footage I've seen of GW he seems like a really genuine and decent family man...and he has a great sense of humour. I really like the man....

Hello Sharon How are you doing today?
GW was great in this capacity. His delivery is flawless.
Back when we had a president who could make fun of himself and a press that wouldn’t scream bloody murder at everything he says

No news is good news - and I've just learned to ignore most of the time. Leaves you a bit more in the dark, but without the headaches. And the actual, important (and uplifting) stories eventually make their way to you anyhow - even if a week later than everybody else! The press are so opinionated and cruel now.

That's because "W" was a pushover. He didn't fight back. Republicans and Democrats were the uniparty under "43." Google images of "Bush Pelosi" and you'll see how mushy they were. No difference between Bush43, Romney and McCain. RINO's.

Bush can laugh at himself. And he can take a joke. And he can admit when he's wrong. He wasn't petty, or vengeful, and although he's done some bad things, he is nowhere near as bad as Trump. And I'm a Democrat. But I'm also a Texan. I wasnt crazy about Bush as governor or as president. But he was a much better governor than Rick Perry or Greg Abbott.

I have a friend who worked with President Bush when he was the managing partner of the Rangers baseball team. He told me that Bush was a great boss who loved baseball and had a great sense of humor. I've always subscribed to the theory that anyone who can laugh at himself has to be a fun person. If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not going to have fun.

Despised him as president but would love to sit and have a beer with him. Had me rolling.

Never voted for him, scratched my head many times about his policies, but always respected him, and his respect for the Office of President and the American people. And, Trump makes him look like a rocket scientist.

If you miss Bush, you were either not paying attention during his time or you haven't payed attention since. He was, without a doubt, the most destructive president in US history and it's not even close.
"I don't think it's healthy to take yourself too seriously."
" Our enemies are innovative and resourceful. So are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our people and our country. Neither do we" George. W. Bush Absolute belter !
Bush's humor, his ability to laugh at himself endeared him to many American citizens. Sadly, because of media bias, many didn't see this side of Bush during his tenure as President. If you look at the expression on his face at the end of his speech though, there is a message which was given in a civil and subtle manner to the purveyors of poisoned pens in the audience: Let's focus on what is important instead of the trite gaffes. Just because Bush fumbled his words does not mean he didn't take his duties while in office seriously.

@@stevengu1253 The (non-Fox) media held itself back and took a lot of moronic politics seriously, trying to find reason and pros, during Trump's campaigning. It's only since social media started showing absolute outrage at how the media was empowering Trump by trying to interpret him as a serious figure by any means possible, that they started becoming brave enough to ridicule him. This transition occurred between 2016 and 2018. The supposed ridiculing of presidents by the media has only been a 'thing' very recently but Trump benefits from convincing people that Republicans are long-time victims, and he does this by taking his early conplaints at fair reporting and pretending that it was the same as present unfair reporting. Both Bushes were warmongers who started trouble late in their presidencies so they got the reward for being tough guys while their Democrat successors had to actually fight and deescelste the war while getting the blame for funds spent and lives lost. Republicans are hosting one massive gaslighting project aimed at both Republican and Democrat voters where they use current examples of bad reporting to make you doubt how you understood past presidencies and further establish a lack of faith in the media and in democracy. Don't fall for it because it sounds intellectual and woke with its out-of-context graphs and snippets of accusations you don't see the whole story of, and don't spread this myth. It discourages voting among neutrals which is exactly how Russia intervened in the 2016 election. It's obvious enough what's fact and what's biased defence of these facts- we are all capable of knowing when the cry of a wolf is real.

@@frenchbreadstupidity7054 If I remember correctly, George W. Bush's Iraq war came around the middle of his first term. Even more, I would say that both Democrats and Republicans like playing around with war. The US in the past is a superpower, and just a simple rule of thumb on strong countries in history will tell you that they are imperialistic. It doesn't really matter who is president. If there is an opening to get that country who is not listening to you to listen to you, you do it whether if it is Democrat or Republican. Even more, I do tend to check my sources for bias, and most mainstream media have a left-center bias (meaning slight left bias). I agree with you that the mainstream media is still accurate and very factual but just based on bias, the mainstream media tends to slightly favor the left. Meanwhile, if we're talking about MSNBC and CNN, those are biased left and I would say those sources are not fair in their reporting. Personally, I don't have a lack of faith in media, but based on what I've seen, mainstream media is slightly biased to the left.

Underrated comment
One of the greatest traditions of the american democracy (inexistent elsewhere, even though the British have a long tradition of political humor ) is these annual mundane reunions where the president is invited to deliver a humorous speech with sometimes self-deprecating remarks, often not devoid of a political message, in a relaxed atmosphere. It is something i truly admire as a non-american. Unfortunately, not all presidents are able to laugh at themselves, it takes a lot of brains and wit to be able to perform this exercise.
"I think we agree, the past is over." - George W. Bush. This quote might be familiar with Civilization V players.
His timing is perfect.
