    I remember him being pretty public about being intentionally sober because he knew he couldn’t handle it. Although, I don’t think he considers himself an actual alcoholic.

    by all means, fuck dubya, but as a “person” he seems reasonable. This is a mature , smart, and humble way of looking at it and managing yourself.

      Beyond some of his actions as president, he does pretty consistently come off as a pretty alright dude. I really enjoyed the series of paintings he did on the value of immigrants a few years back.

      America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time.

      Can you imagine anyone on the Republican side saying that now?

        He’s a guy you’d enjoy having a beer with, which was important criteria back then.

        And his immigration policy aspirations before 9/11 were better than anything the DNC has put forth since.
