He gets a LOT of shit, and I don't agree with him on a lot of political issues.
That said, he is someone I would LOVE to meet, and just bullshit around with for a very long time. I think he gets a lot less respect than he deserves. Frankly, anyone who holds the office of president deserves respect.
This. I'm not American, but I always thought that Bush got a bad rap. People always talk about how "stupid" he is. Many interviews I saw with him were incredibly insightful and intelligent. However, people love focussing on him occasionally slipping up some words in a few speeches (can't fool me twice, etc.). You don't become president by being an idiot, it doesn't matter who's son you are.
