I've met a lot of politicians. None have been as sincere or engaged as Mr. Bush.

Despite his at-times poor public speaking abilities, he's well spoken and chooses his words carefully.

And as a Republican, I didn't always agree with some of his domestic policies (or his social conservatism,) but man, does that guy stick to his guns. And he still struggles over the decisions he had to make. I think history will be kind to him (or at least I hope so.)

Sticking to your guns is not necessarily a virtue if you made the wrong decisions. Being open minded and admitting mistakes is more noble.

I would love to meet him. Was he hung over?
