Anybody noticed while the three former presidents are having this serious discussion about unity - dang guy sways back and forth with his hands in his pocket like a giddy teenager who didn't know what to do with himself, as if to imply that he's in awe of the other 2 (extremely capable leaders) and way out of their league?

Miss me yet?
Well for the last four years - yes.

(22,840 posts)to accept, probably not really knowing for sure what he was agreeing to.
So, gotta be happy he trusted Obama and participated, and spoke in his own words. It didn't seem to have the gloss of a speechwriter.

Trump will never be welcomed in that exclusive club.

(5,381 posts)He looks and sounds pretty frail here. Is he ill? I certainly hope not.
I had to work yesterday so have been trying to catch up on all the videos.

(13,913 posts)His voice was always raspy & seems he may have been suffering from allergies as well which may have made it worse.

(29,525 posts)lasting more than a minute and youll see some goofball behavior. Guaranteed. If hed not tripping over his feet, hes making a fucked-up face or making a ridiculous hand gesture. Sometimes all at once.

(11,639 posts)I only happened to notice swaying from the pest that was leaving office during his goodbye speech. I muted it before he started speaking so that's probably why I noticed his weird shoulder swaying.
It is possible that Dubya went back to hitting the bottle during the last 4 years, like most Americans did.
NNadir
(37,534 posts)He was interviewed about it on CNN.
I don't have a link handy, but Clyburn said more or less thanked him for saving the nation by the boost he gave Joe in the South Carolina primary.
Dubya is never going to be a favorite here, but at least he, unlike so many other Republicans, drew a line at the orange facist thug.

(5,387 posts)Do you have so little respect for Michelle Obama that you feel the need to criticize who she chooses to be friends with? You make it sound like he is giving her unwanted attention, when it is clearly obvious that is not the case.
jcgoldie
(12,046 posts)My comment had nothing to do with her choosing to be friends with him nor was it directed at her at all which was quite obvious . Many people have friends who behave in ways that do not make them feel comfortable all of the time.

(8,169 posts)I would blame it on the old age, but I've been doing it all my life. Definitely since motherhood, and grand-motherhood for that matter. but now my grand daughters are pre-teens, so I can't use that excuse anymore.
And yes I did notice it. But I found it a little amusing and it made me feel kind of normal-ish.
