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.

Bush has been exposed as opposing our president. I understand that he inferred that Trump was “racist” for vetting Isis trojan horses faking as refugees. I personally think that bush was very “racist” in being directly responsible for the slaughter of 300,000 sunni/shia in Iraq on false pretenses. Very racist!!
You don’t consort with the devil just because she likes your jokes. Come on, George W.!
Must be a Star Wars fan, lol!
Stick to painting George.
The gullible “Poppy” probably told Mr. Bill that it would be alright if Mr. Bill blamed Poppy for all the bad in the USA.
I firmly believe that some ex-presidents suffer from PTSD, some more than others, especially the republican ones.
GWB may have methods to stay calm and functional, painting ,writing books and giving ‘uplifting’ speeches being some of the ways meant to rebuild his ego.
I don’t know how I would survive it myself, being battered in the press every single day, no matter what you do or don’t do. I really think W. is simply burnt out and doesn’t have the stomach anymore for direct confrontation, unless, of course the confrontation is to someone within his own party. This is done to curry favor with the opposition, something they will never sincerely give him.
Voted for both father and son. It was not by choice, only an alternative.
Good men are hard to find. Intelligent, good men even more so. Forever etched in the mind is the image of W after Gore called for a recount. The look was an image of a deer in the headlights about to be hit by a 16 wheeler.
I thought plural of that root word would be spelled as ‘Dufi’,as seen in
Octopi. But we both know, few Americans recognize or ever use that form, preferring the more common “uses”.
ST:TOS had more panty shots than Japanese soft porn anime.
Too bad, Pat Buchanan did not win back in? ‘92 would it be. He looks like a genius now for what he said. I’d have been all for giving Bush 41 a chance but still.
I’m not perfect with all of what Pat says, just the great majority of it.
O come on! I just ate a Big Mac and Fries. Uuuuuggggghhhh
George, senior member of the Bush Crime Family admires Moochelle because she can bench press more than any other tranny.
Too bad Dick Cheney wasn’t there to whisper in his ear: “Remember, she hates you. Really.”
The Bushes, McCain, Romney, etc are merely fellow travelers with the Democrat Globalist left. Scum all of them.
Dear Baby Bush,
You don’t have to explain your fondness for communists with the Obamas and Clintons. We always knew you were Socialist lite. You are fine with the commie Dems. I’m not.
Go to Hell Baby Bush. Go to Hell and have fun with Teddy Kennedy.
I think Sears is still running that free eye exam so no raccoons will be let in instead of the cat!!
Jimmy John McCarter?
LMAO!!!!! Thanks for that!
His fondess? He is senile....
Don’t forget Skull & Bones and the oath the Bushies took as president to the Freemasons.
These guy are dangerous and definitely not Christan as they liked to be portrayed.
