George W. Bush’s Theory Why People LOVE His Michelle Obama Friendship
George W. Bush believes he knows why his friendship with Michelle Obama always makes headlines. The former president sat down with daughter Jenna Bush Hager for a “Today” exclusive ahead of the U.S.’s 250th anniversary and recalled his reaction to a viral 2018 moment with the then-First Lady. The pair had been sitting together at John McCain’s funeral when Bush was spotted handing Obama what many assumed at the time was candy or a cough drop. It turned out to be a breath mint and Bush noted that he never expected the seemingly small gesture to catch so much attention on social media. “I was kinda teasing her and stuff, and I slipped her an Altoid. Not as a joke, but I thought she might want one,” he said. “And I got in the car afterwards and [Jenna] said, ‘You’re trending.’ I didn’t know what that meant.” It wasn’t the first time people noticed Bush and the former FLOTUS’ affection for one another, and he went on to explain his belief that their camaraderie is simply a refreshing sight across the political spectrum. “It turns out the country is starved to see a white center right Republican and an African American center left Democrat having fun, and being able to converse, not as political figures, but as citizens,” he shared. Indeed, Obama herself has also weighed in on the public interest into her and Bush’s friendly connection, previously telling “‘Today” that he’s her “partner in crime” for all major functions that include past presidents and first ladies. “I love him to death,” she said at the time. “He’s a wonderful man, he’s a funny man.” The duo also shared a now-famous embrace at a museum dedication ceremony in 2016, and Obama later told Jenna in a separate interview that she and her dad share important commonalities that make their bond work. “Our values are the same. We disagree on policy, but we don’t disagree on humanity. We don’t disagree about love and compassion,” she said.

I didn't like GWB as a President, but I definitely had the sense that he was a decent human being. Completely unlike the festering sore currently occupying the White House.
I've become a big fan of Dubya after his exit from the presidency. Where was this guy during his term?
really,
Only DemoKKKrats and deep-state loyalists "love" W and his friendship (?) to the DemoKKKrats.
I will never forget! Dont care that Michelle giggles and hugs you!
They no longer need to pretend… these are regular ppl who get in to politics and need to play the game. It is what it is..but they are out office and now are regular citizens. Everything is controlled by Israel anyways.
jenna bush is a reporter yeh sure propagandist you mean
I certainly don't miss the time when he was president, given that he was naive, foolish, dangerously negligent and militarily gung ho, but he's not a bad person(unlike the person actually running the show for those 8 years). He put it well here that people are starved;starved of human connection between two nominally at odds people in this country. Today's political atmosphere is nothing but fear and hatred, and stuff like this is the exception nowadays. Democracies don't work if we don't work together.
Obama conveniently forgets about the Iraq war.
Then-First-Lady? She hadn’t been FLOTUS since January 2017.
Also, it’s endearing on a human level because she immediately goes into Mom mode, and he leans right into receiving her care.
If only they didn’t agree on so many ‘center’ policies that actually horrify large portions of the population (ie G@žâ).
OF COURSE. LETS GET A SHE MALE IN OFFICE. THAT WILL FIX EVERYTHING
Nothing to see here folks…Warmongers and crooked politicians praising eachother.
The guy is responsible for the death of a million people in the middle east
Back when presidents cared about America over their own ego. Behold the very last of the American experiment. Murdered by the MAGAts
Celebrating war criminals again, are we? !
He may not have been the best president but he is a great guy! A truly remarkable person in character. I miss when differences of opinions were just that. Not these opinions coming from the right laced with so many isms
W loves black women.. he loves him some Condoleezza Rice too
When you start to seriously miss George W, ya know the shit has hit the fan.
War criminal. So soon we forget and ignore.
W had Condoleeza Rice & Colin Powell 🫶🏽 Black folk were represented in his administration
My dog is stupid, but I love her very much. these types of things can work. Now you're trying to figure out who I'm comparing to my dumb dog, lol
No one gives a single damn about big mike Obama. What a loser!!!!!!
Just because you don't agree with someone's policy, does not mean you can't get along. They seem to enjoy each, good for them.
He’s absolutely right! We miss HUMANITY.
