Washington (CNN) Former President George W. Bush and Michelle Obama are surprisingly close considering their political differences, and the 43rd president credits the former first lady's appreciation for his sense of humor as a key reason.
The unlikely pair have often been photographed together during formal events. When Obama embraced Bush at the opening ceremony for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture last September, the photo of their warm interaction went viral.
"When I saw her, it was a genuine expression of affection," Bush told People magazine as he reflected on the moment. The interview was posted on Wednesday.
The former President is back in the public eye to promote his new book, "Portraits of Courage," a volume of his paintings of military veterans.
"She kind of likes my sense of humor. Anybody who likes my sense of humor, I immediately like," Bush said.
The pair are often seated next to each other during events, including the interfaith memorial service for the victims of the Dallas police shooting in July, last year's funeral for former first lady Nancy Reagan and the 2015 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the historic civil rights march in Selma, Alabama.

One thing the Democrats are correct on: George W Bush is stupid, incompetent and an utter failure. I never supported him. Never. I voted for Pat Buchannan in 2000. I did not vote in 2004.
Why?
Because I knew George W Bush was a liberal piece of shit. He was lousy in his first term, as I knew he would be. There was no one worth while on the ballot in 2004. By 2008 he destroyed the conservative movement and the Republican party.
Now he is fond of the very people who dragged his name and reputation through the sewer.
What a stupid asshole.

We defended this idiot for years. Ugh. Who is "we?"
Some of us right here on FreeRepublic were tired of that whole family of @ssholes even before he ran for re-election in 2004.
When they write the history books about the first decade of the 21st century here in this country, Bush and Obama will be remembered as two of the worst U.S. presidents ever to hold office.

The dictionary says that “doofuses” is the plural of doofus. Personally though, I prefer to put a latin spin on it and use doofae (pronounced doof-eye). Just my 2 cents....

George Pedro Bush was the primary reason the GOP refused to do anything to stop the Kenyanesian Usurpation. He is not a natural born citizen for the same reason Obama is not. Foreign national parent. Mom was still a Mexican national. Interesting. I hadn't thought of it like that. George P. Bush may have a future in Texas politics which is Republican Latino heavy, but nationally he'll probably face the same thing Jeb did: Bush fatigue.

I forgot about that. Goodness gracious. That is bad. This cameraman was on it even to zoom in on Mooch and Laura attempting to calm W’s swinging arms. Pathetic.
What is he on when he paints those weird faces?

Isn't that what the Bohemian Grove's cross dressing cult is all about?

The Bohemian Club's Annual Summer Encampment came to a close here Sunday, ending a two-week retreat for the rich and powerful that President Herbert Hoover once called ''the greatest men's party on Earth.''
The club's famed annual gathering has been held for more than 100 years at the 2,700-acre Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, about 70 miles north of San Francisco in Sonoma County. This year's event drew in notables such as former President George Bush, Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Henry Kissinger...

George W. Bush and Michelle Obama are surprisingly close considering their political differences They are both members of the DC uni-party and they both belong to the NWO cabal and both are NWO stage puppets so what are their political differences?
To: simpson96
His father’s voodoo economics and his compassionate conservative were red flags, but the prospect of Gore as president was enough to push it away.
I think he feels he has more in common with the Clintons and Obama’s than with us, the people who supported and defended him. Sad thing to have to say.
