If you look back at past administrations, they`re probably a little bit behind where former President George W. Bush was.

During an interview, former President George W. Bush discussed his painting hobby and said, ‘Never paint your wife or your mother.’ Then he added, ‘Because it’s almost impossible to get the paint out of their hair.’

Both President Obama and former President George W. Bush were interviewed on ‘Face the Nation’ over the weekend. President Bush said there’s a 50 percent chance his brother Jeb will run for president in 2016. Then he said, ‘But there’s an 80 percent chance he won‘t.’

[President George W.] Bush – never mind his well-crafted set speeches; listen to him as he leans on a lectern, chatting to an audience of carpenters – is completely comfortable being himself, a skill still eluding Gore in his 55th year.

I’m still the same. Take the fight against terrorism: after the attacks of September 11, I was the first to side with US President [George W.] Bush. And now, after the attacks in Paris, I have done the same with the President of France,[Oliver] Hollande. Terrorism threatens us all.

[Dan Fried] served under President [Barack] Obama and under President George W. Bush before that and under President [Bill] Clinton before that and under President George H.W. Bush before that and under [Ronald] Reagan before that and under [Jim] Carter before that. He has been there a long time.

I think the liberals are going to try to blame – and they already are – this entire mess on the right and on President [George W.] Bush. I think Republicans dropped the ball on actually articulating why we got into this economic mess, but it’s not too late.

Under President (George W.) Bush, prosecution of gun crimes was 30 percent higher than it is under President Obama.

I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to both Presidents Bush for the work we’ve done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.

On a friendship with former president George W. Bush: He’s a personal friend, but we’ve all got the right not to agree with our friends.

I’m very proud that President [George W.] Bush took on AIDS relief. It was the largest single response by any country to a major international health crisis, and there are millions of people who are alive today in Africa and other developing countries because of that program.

I think that President George W. Bush was ahead of most of his government, in realizing that Putin was not the person we thought he was.

I think an amnesty program… which is what the president (George W. Bush) has proposed… those are reasonable proposals.

Political pundits are saying President George W. Bush has made gains in two key states: dazed and confused.

I may not agree with everything, but our President, just like President [George W.] Bush did, is trying to do his best under difficult circumstances.

I would sooner want a strong partnership with the United States – even with (US President George W.) Bush, who I think is the worst president in a long, long time. I would sooner want a friendship with Bush than with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin.

When President George W. Bush cut taxes, he cut them for everyone.

The American president [George W. Bush] closes his eyes to the economic and human damages that are inflicted on his country and the world economy by natural disasters, like Katrina, through neglected climate protection.

Yes, it seems that as the President (George W. Bush) comes to the end of his two terms, he’s finally realized the best way to get things done for you, is for you to do it.

I have a huge crush on President George W. Bush. I saw him at a recent fundraiser, and he`s a babe. He`s got that Ronald Reagan charm. I think he`s hot. I respect his wife, but if he wasn`t married I`d be putting on my cowboy boots and coming around.

We are supposed to be liberated in America but if our President [George W. Bush] had his way, we wouldn’t be educated about sex at all. Every woman would have six children and we wouldn’t be able to have abortions.

It will be an unusual dynamic [in Congress]. It won’t be like the rallying behind President [Barack] Obama in 2009 or behind President [George W.] Bush, even at the beginning of his presidency, or even [Bill] Clinton in ’93, when he got his budget through on a partisan vote.

Shock, confusion, fear, anger, grief, and defiance. On Sept. 11, 2001, and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public‘s whipsawing stages of acceptance.

I intend to vote for President George W. Bush in the next election, because in my view, he is best able to wage the war against international terrorism.

The president (George W. Bush) says let’s have private accounts, and take the surplus money that’s being gathered now in Social Security and put it into private accounts. That works.
