More easy going!

I find it hypocritical to pound Bush when he was more easy-going and less arrogant toward other nations that Obama.

You should hear what my foreign friends would have to say about that.

Shall we say.... Bush "shot from the hip" and thought about it later.

Pure ego.

Bruce.. you have been living in Texas too long. I'm beginning to think that you think... the world revolves around you.

Bush was a "my way or the highway" leader. He routinely gave our best allies the cold shoulder. It was simply shameful the way he treated Tony Blair, for example. Some quotes to remind you of the kind of man Bush Jr. was. Bush Sr. was an order of magnitude the better man.
