Look how happy this guy is. I had never seen him so naturally happy during his presidency.
I think these kids were really pressured at home to succeed, so much so that it forced them into areas that were unnatural for them. Maybe it was to get mama's love.
It's so good to see W doing his thing and loving every moment of it.
I know he can afford to hire the best teachers, but he's pretty good, no?
I heard that somewhere there is a book of Prince Charles' watercolors and he, too, did a good job at them.
I also wish the former president well! I did not vote for him, but he had some good qualities as president. I will also remember his excellent behavior and speech after 9-11.
As for the idle knuckleheads who will post nothing but garbage about Mr. Bush, or any other president, let us recall the words of Theordore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
When I think of Bush, I think of the terrible tragedy that occurred in 2001...
The day he was sworn in as president.
Uhhh...the terrible tragedy that occurred in 2001 took place on 9/11/01, and you just trivialized the deaths of the people who lost their lives on that day.
But then I remember that you are a liberal, and such shamelessness is often par for the course.
A very good man who, like all, had flaws. I wish he had been more conservative and also I wish he did more to warn the public over the Fannie and Freddie mess. For whatever reason, he didn't go on national tv and call some out for letting the mess get worse. Sometimes you have to publicly call people out, he didn't do that and should've.
I'm glad he is away from politics and happy. Can't be easy to have the media and Hollywood and others demonize you and literally hate you for over 8 years.

My thoughts exactly. Pretty low...
I bet the poster wouldn't be saying that if they lost loved ones in the tragedy, but expecting libs to sympathize with others legitimate suffering, the kind that doesn't necessarily fit in with their brands of propaganda or spin... Might as well ask them to turn the tide.
I tend to be liberal and did not vote for Bush. I do agree that Cheney was the evil power behind the throne in much of that administration.
I think Bush would have been a lot happier without the duplicity and intrigues of politics, however, and I think he may be more centered and has 'found himself' now, when there is no pressure on him.
People who have a political bent often cannot understand and sometimes deride those whose lives are wrapped around other things. I think the Bush children were born into that sort of family. Not all children in a family should be coaxed into the same mold. It is a travesty to do that, in my opinion.
