george bush seems like a good guy to drink beer with, and take in a baseball game with.

i just didnt think he was up to snuff to lead the country. but thats me. as i got older, i realized "this guy has a different agenda then i do, but damn is he trying like hell."

however, after george bush made a verbal blunder, former texas governor ann richards delivered this amazing quote: "Poor George, he just can't help himself sometimes. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."

Orrrrrrrrr, that Hatian had some pretty nasty stuff on that hand. Bush fell victim to the unstoppable 'shit on hand of starving child' trick. POWNED.

We'd of all done the same thing; if someone shakes your hand and has nasty palm sweat, or some shit on it we'd wipe it on a towel or something.

Wiping it on Bill is just another way for the GOP to stick it to the Democrats!

Haha, that's the way I looked at it too. The 'better' people looking down on the 'lesser' people. "I touched a dirty Haitian yuck, oh looky, there's a Democrat I can wipe it on. Lucky me".

:lol: Have a family friend that knows him pretty well; he would wipe the sweat or whatever off on Bill. GWB is a complete joker, absolutely hilarious, really fun-loving... also unassuming, asks lots of questions, that kind of personality, which I find amusing because it is so absolutely opposite of the caricature he's been shoved into, the little box people have put him in. That's usually how it goes for public figures, though. Overall he's a pretty good guy from what I've heard from someone who actually knows him.

I could imagine that he and Bill Clinton have a really friendly relationship.

I wouldn't expect anyone to be aware of anything actually good Bush had done...yay US media.

Quote:
The Bush administration quadrupled financial aid to Africa from $1.3 billion in 2001 to more than $5 billion in 2008. This is scheduled to go to $8.7 billion in 2010, principally for education (primary school enrollment in Africa is up 36 percent since 1999), healthcare, building civil society, and protecting fragile environments.

Africa has received $3.5 billion in additional funds from Bush’s Millennium Challenge Corporation initiative, which rewards poor countries that encourage economic growth, govern well, and provide social services for their people. The president’s HIV/AIDS program, principally focused on providing Africans with anti-retroviral drugs to treat the disease (1.7 million people are on the therapy), has been such a success that the program has been extended to 2015 at $48 billion. His five-year, $1.2 billion effort to combat malaria has provided 4 million insecticide-treated bed nets and 7 million drug therapies to vulnerable people.

Nice, it's a shame we didn't get to hear about this when he was like, IN office.

irony, you can go hang out and get hammered with Bush until your family pulls an intervention, that's fine with me.

ATL, the guy wasn't being frivolous with this maneuver. He was repulsed by touching that person's hand. The same hand the "other one" did(meaning Clinton). Now you may be spot on about his personality, and I'm sure I'd have a good time with George too, but he was doing the next closest thing to spitting on your hand before the "gentlemanly shake". That was not subtle comedy.

Cross, you're almost dead on, but it's like asking the public to accept Chevy Chase in a serious role with Meryl Streep. He may have done some good shit, but his comedy roles characterized him. The guys that picked him must have shit when the American people actually voted FOR those mannerisms.

Well, I was referring to the fact that he wiped it off on Clinton and not on himself. Yeah, his wiping his hand period didn't have a jocular intent, but wiping something on someone you consider to be a friend is pretty much always done in a sort of "haha take that" manner regardless of what your facial expression is, at least for me.

The person was probably sweating or something. I don't think it's offensive to wipe off your hand after shaking someone else's when there was something on that person's hand. Some people aren't bothered by it, but some are. I don't see why it's such a terrible thing that he wiped his hand...
