He looks nothing like a President. W had confidence if nothing else. He actually looked like a POTUS. Especially compared to GOre at times in 2000. I'm just talking about the eyeball test. Not brains or anything.

1. Funny thing though, the parents thought Jeb was POTUS material.
They could't get how it was reversed.

2. I think it's that gigantic pumpkin head.
He looks too much like one of those big balloons in the Thanksgiving Day parade. You can't look like a President if you appear to be full of helium and likely to float away at any moment.

7. Really, you though bushco looked presidential? I always saw "Mad Magazine"
when I looked at him. He looked just like the guy on the cover. Always had some corny look on his face, and his words did not match his facial expression. When he was trying to look POTUS, it seemed very practiced, very forced.

So, I never got the "presidential" look from him.

8. Isn't that the truth?
And how does ANYONE run for the Presidency after hearing the Bieber-like reception the President received from the students (half of whom will be able to vote.)

9. His daughter had drug issues, a long time ago. His son, on the other hand,


may be considered, but I don't think he wants to go into politics. Last I heard, several years ago, he was studying law at Harvard.

11. Gore looks far more presidential than George Bush ever did
Unless you think photos of him picking his nose and that eternal smirk and strutting around making up words is Presidential.

12. My Mother constantly said in 1996 that Dole looked like a President
Well, he did, but sometimes looks don't make you win.

15. Hopefully we are done with Bushes
If this country elects another Bush President, it's hopeless. I don't think it's that hopeless.

Even if he deserved the office, which he does not, he just shouldn't get it.

16. Please don't compare Al Gore to ANY Bush.
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 05:02 PM by Jennicut
The Bushes thought they had a family dynasty going on. W. blew it for them, thankfully.

17. Jeb Bush is a fascist piggy
All he needs is an apple in the mouth and a spit up the backside.

19. The main difference appears to be
that Jeb knows he would be a lousy president, but W was too stupid to know how unqualified he truly was.
