Has anyone noticed that GW sounds ten times smarter after leaving office?

All the time they had that thing stuck in his ear to purpose of forcing him to giving answers his masters wanted him to give just slowed him down. He wasn't any Einstein, was never meant to be, never claimed to be.

But hearing this:

GW Bush Interview

Look at how quick he is to the question, how he immediately answers, with own thought on the matter, and eager to do so. Something we never saw while he was in office. And who could blame him, back then?

Put aside the particular answers (though I think some of them are good) or particular politics as such; just look at how sprightly he is and how quick and eager he is to engage. Again, something we never saw in his presidency.

I can just imagine Jimmy Carter and GW and Obama sitting around a table and somebody saying "We know the guys we need to shoot, right?"

If Joe Kennedy had just figured out the guys he needed to shoot (won't argue that himself being the last of it), then the world might, might, be in a better situation now.

Well one could say W could only go up from where he was.

But did you notice that when Jeff Beck worked with others he did just fine but when he went out on his own...won two Grammies ?

President Bush is a good man...although I thought he made some tragic mistakes that cost the lives of thousands of our children I never doubted his sincerity and desire to do what was best, in his mind, for America. I was frustrated when he let others make decisions when he should not have delegated authority. He put too much trust in the likes of Dick Cheney. That said he is honorable, humble, and takes responsibility for his actions... I respect him.

What a difference between him and Trump.
