    Serious question, not an insult: Where you a child and not paying attention to the amount of verbal (and even physical) attacks against Bush Jr?

    Say what you want, his dodging skills were pretty top notch.

    He also pretty much completely ignored everyone insulting him, which you would think is a very necessary skill for the president.

    The Bushes are genuinely good people. Say what you want about their politics, but as a person, they are truly good.

    Bush Jr also has always had a bit of humor in terms of himself.

    anyways hope they recover. Any 90 year old that continues to skydive is freaking awesome.

    The amount of gifs that came from his shoe dodging was epic.

    For real. Obama would reply to them but at least he didn't shoot a bunch of stupid tweets, just bad jokes in his speeches.

    I think that bush jr was ultimately an honest and good to heart people. A little stupid and very easily manipulated by the dark lord dick cheney, but not innately bad or looking for his personal gain

    there is a difference between a few nut cases spouting hate and the majority of a major political party making it their mantra and standard operating model.

    republicans have made it "normal" to act this way and now we all have to suffer.

    Obviously Felya has no interest in anything that may actually be true when it comes to people on the opposite political party. I am glad they are recovering. GHW Bush is one of the greatest Americans to serve their country. And on the topic of his son, notice how George Bush has never said criticized obama. It's called class, something most Presidents used to show to other Presidents. I doubt that will last.

    Putin's reach truly knows no bounds.
    All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    The cool thing about Bush Snr and Bush Jnr is that they were rational enough to disagree with - something that will be missed in the coming years it seems.

    You're kidding right? Are you honestly saying that the majority of the democratic party did not say hateful things about George Bush?

    Yeah. I didn't vote for either of them but :
    I do(and did) have a lot of respect for Bush Sr. A very serious, very smart, man. I may not have agreed with all of his politics but he was a solid example of what I think a president should be like.
    I don't have the same level of respect for Junior, not that I don't respect him, but, he always struck me as a bit of a goofball. Regardless, I would love to meet him in a bar and spend a couple hours drinking beers with him. Junior definitely seems like a very good, all around, kind of guy.

    Bottom line : both good guys imo.

    Not irony.... but a common mistake to make. Closer to sarcasm.
