I disagree. Video clips when he's not giving speeches show a man that was truly comfortable in his own skin. Depending on the subject, I think Bush would be fun

I disagree. Video clips when he's not giving speeches show a man that was truly comfortable in his own skin. Depending on the subject, I think Bush would be fun to talk to in private. It might not come across to non-Americans, but he had a folksy demeanor that was appealing to my parents' generation.
Was he a good president? No, he was absolutely horrible. Probably one of the worst presidents in a long time. I think in part because he was so "folksy". He couldn't seem to relate to any of the professional, high class subordinates and world leaders that constantly surrounded him.
But one-on-one, in a non-serious discussion, I think he would be fun to talk to. Intellectually stimulating, no, but fun, yes. He doesn't give off the intellectual vibe that Obama does. But he does seem to enjoy having a good time.
- Swizec 14y agoThis might be an issue of demographic then. I like talking to somewhat intellectual people who appeal to current 20-somethings.

- seanmcdirmid 14y ago37yo male here. Both Obama or Bush would be fun to hang around, for different reasons. Would love to see them in a bar together. Bush wasn't a great president, but he definitely had the charisma for it. Romney never had that, this is why I knew in my gut he couldn't win.
