(805 posts)Seeing any Bush getting along with any Obama seems to trigger many people.

(5,121 posts)Hanging chads, garbage bags full of ballots tossed, stolen election, goes to Iraq to find Osama when his wife was here in the US... and he was in Afghanistan.. let people freeze to death because he refused to sign the extension for energy assistance in a timely fashion... Normal crap I guess.
But let the US be vulnerable during the transition of power in a fair election, nah, even Bush wouldn't do that.
Who could have imagined there would be worse?
But tRumped sure TRUMPED in the WORSE department as far as refusing to acknowledge the will of the people.

Michael Brown and Katrina? How many people died there because of incompetence?
AAAAND... wasn't Bush and crew the original start of Climate Change DENIAL?
Yeah, we don't have time to go into ALLLL his awful behavior, but most of us remember he wasn't the best, but he has been bested at being the worst by tRump to the DUMPtypoo.

(53,410 posts)Trump is the natural progression to the Bush Administration. Trump didnt just spring on us like some big surprise manifesting itself out of the blue.
Remember Cheney? Remember Karl Rove?
Ill never accept any legitimacy to SCOTUS choosing Bush over Gore or that the country had to move on.

(21,063 posts)The scary part is that IF were as smart and evil as cheney, we would be in a world of hurt.....even more than we are now.

(5,121 posts)It IS still scary to have an "idiot in Cheif" sitting at the White House, but it could be much MUCH worse if he were as evilly smart as cHeney. Don't miss Darth Vader who shot his "friends" for grins and giggles.

(32,061 posts)I have even softened my opinion of Laura, because of things like this, and for other reasons. (Dumbya, not so much.) I remember the twins going out of their way to help Sasha and Malia adjust to their new lives and new home, which they didn't have to do. Sasha and Malia likely tried to return the favor to Barron, although I doubt Barron's asshole parents ever let him near those girls. His loss, although I have a feeling that Barron never actually has lived in the White House...

(1,336 posts)I'm sure GHW Bush and Barbara were gracious to the Clintons. In fact, GHW and Bill became the best of friends.
Can't imagine any former White House family EVER becoming friends with the TDumpster family.

Thank you for sharing that, Heartstrings. Certainly pulled on mine!

(17,781 posts)For all their faults, the Bushes have it, both W and papa. The Obamas exude class and character. So does Joe and Jill Biden. Donnie and company are like anti-matter when it comes to both. They have not an ounce of either. The absolute worst of us. When he met President Obama in 2017, I thought the two would annihilate each other in a burst of energy and sub atomic particles.
