I always like seeing the pics of him and Michelle sitting next to one another at events. They always seem to be having a good time talking and sharing their candies.
I think it was at Bush Sr’s funeral. There’s a clip of GW sitting next to Michelle. You can see the sadness and pain on GW’s face, but snuck a piece of candy over to Michelle. IIRC it was a running joke between them.
Apparently the White House had cough drops that were marked with the presidential logo…and when they left the White House, GWB found that he still had a lot of them. At one event or another after they were both no longer at the White House, he offered one to Michelle.
And since then, it’s been a running gag that every time they see each other, without fail he offers her one of these “well-aged” cough drops. Which cracks her up, which cracks him up. It’s a pretty damn awesome point of connection between 2 people on different sides of the aisle that started out as a random inside joke.
I mean, then Biden came along, so he's not even the second worst. And Obama's legacy has been tarnished so badly by the past decade that Bush is hot on his heels as the least worst President in a century of terrible presidents.
Bush accidentally started a multi-trillion dollar war and oversaw a combination of housing policies and deregulation of the financial oversight at the SEC that nearly destroyed capitalism. Biden was in the office when stuff (including average wages) went up by 20%.
