It's a good move on W's part. Now Blozo will have to ask for tsunami funds instead of Hillary reeletion funds. There is a method to this madness.
You nailed it.
Another take on this is that there are only about four people living on the planet who can truly understand what it's like to be President of the United States. That's got to be a tough and sometimes lonely position, and I can see where the President might want to spend time with someone who has been in his shoes, other than his father.
Whatever the reason, I think this makes the President look like a gentleman.
:-)
And, again, I wonder why? NOT!
What a great President! He is not too lofty to befriend even trailor trash.
haha, good one :)
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
fishing for lost souls.
LOL I think Bush has hooked a whale. It would truly be a miracle if he could reel him in.
LOL, that last pic is priceless. I would say it sums up GWB's 'real' opinion of Clinton.
politeness....you notice how he is inquiring about Billy Bob's daughter and all that stuff right?
I think its called making small talk....
Opposite ends of the political spectrum???? Must be a very short spectrum.
Never put GOD in a box .. or misunderestimate HIS ability to draw someone to HIS goodness.
I respect President Bush too much to believe this headline.
It's more than that. Bush is very, very smart to keep his friends close, and his enemies closer.
I disagrre with your count, I believe there only three who know truly what it is like to be a REAL President and they are President G.W. Bush and former President Georg H.W. Bush and former President Gerald Ford. I take issue with the other two.
Great picture. Great President. He's got his eye on all enemies...foreign and domestic.
Around here we call it "The Look." Watch for it -- he does it a lot.
I particularly love the way Cheney is looking at Clinton in the first one!
Bet Monica wished she had one back then.
Would have saved on kneepads.
Only 43 men have held that job in well over 200 years. It is a hard pressure filled job. Men who have been president often tend ot bond.
The most interesting to me was Richard Nixon and Harry Truman. Ike and Truman were real enemies and when Ike was president he did nothing to recognize Truman. Truman and old man Kennedy did not get along at all. And both Kennedy and LBJ tended to shun Truman. But Nixon went out of his way to do things for and bet nice to Truman. Truman recipricated and the two political opposites became frinds.
It think both 41 and 43 tend to be nice to everyone. They both would treat Clinton with attention and respect. Clinton has no reason to anger the Bush family. Bubba has hopes that Dubya will stay neutral in the 2008 race that his wife hopes to win.
