I have pictures of people that were stone cold sober, and yet, they look buzzed.
I wasn't there. He's kind of looking down at one reporter or another. Who knows what that person said to him.

I agree with you. Time to move on. He is out of office. President Obama was a gracious host. southernyankeebelle May 2012 #3

I wish I could move on, but I was reading Naomi Kleins, "The Shock Doctrine" again and Cleita May 2012 #7

If it were up to me Cheney would be in jail. I think he was the real president. The problem is the southernyankeebelle May 2012 #9

IMHO thats just his "I love clowning around" face. HereSince1628 May 2012 #2

Sober. I have years of pictures of myself in which I looked drunk. I wasn't. Why virgogal May 2012 #6

It's not. What is of interest to me, and has been since he lied this country into war, is sabrina 1 May 2012 #8

Opinions of Bush do not supersede protocol RZM May 2012 #22

That wasn't my point. He should have been prosecuted, then there would have sabrina 1 May 2012 #24

I've said this many times RZM May 2012 #26

Most here would say no? grasswire Jun 2012 #29

Right now I'd guess that 70 percent of DU would support a prosecution RZM Jun 2012 #37

Just as I suspected. grasswire Jun 2012 #64

Well this is a political message board on the internet RZM Jun 2012 #66

I wouldn't feel any satisfaction about seeing war criminals on trial, I would prefer sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #30

It is basically the case that no US President will ever be tried for war crimes Hippo_Tron Jun 2012 #72

Well, that needs to change. It appears to be the reason why we are getting into so many sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #73

I don't think Bush has fallen off of the wagon RZM May 2012 #14

"Falling off the wagon" implies that he was ever on it. Frank Cannon May 2012 #18

None of those pics indicate he was drunk RZM May 2012 #20

It's kinder to assume he was drunk that to believe that he was sober during the disastrous sabrina 1 May 2012 #25

I've never seen any evidence to indicate that Bush broke his sobriety RZM May 2012 #27
