Bush just like President Obama is not just a figurehead, they have the constitutional authority over the military for instance.
Why are you even bringing up Bush having authority over the military? You do realize that they're saying Bush's opinions and actions were largely shaped by Cheney and others members of his staff, right?

You are taking an off-the-cuff remark about the relative evil of Bush and his inner circle way too seriously.

I get the impression he isn't really comfortable in front of the camera and big audiences
Lying does seem to put a bit of stress and anxiety on the liar when he/she is in front of a crowd they are attempting to deceive.

They influenced his positions but he is an adult and can decide actions for himself.Drone strikes, our on going wars, etc.

More lookism. :( If only Cheney were hotter, we'd all like him.

I am just saying that people are talking about how much stress he was under with his 1000+ vacation days over 8 years and absolving him of responsibility for his Presidency because his big bad administration (which he picked for the most part).

But you don't get it. Obama is better looking and has charisma. That's why we think Romney's a shit... or something. I'm sure he'll let you know in a few seconds.

Well I did not mention lookism in regards to the preferential treatment to Romney. I am just saying that everyone is talking about how likable Bush is in this topic.

Then people talk about how he was under a ton of stress and his administration that he picked was responsible for his Presidency.

Its more of a charisma thing.

Was not even talking about that. My statement was more about people dismissing Bush's responsibility for his Presidency.

The statement was likely only a platitude. A bit of graciousness given to a former president, not a complete absolution of his past responsibility and transgressions.

It's cool. Romney is totally comfortable insulting a bunch of people.
