Bush: No... But I was born before paper & pen were invented
Bush is so thankful that a medal was put around his neck and not the anchor his son left to Obama and the country almost three years ago.

The past wasn't that bad.

"You're ok but that son of yours . . ."
President Obama to President Bush: "When we are done here do you want to check out the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue with me?"
First and most, thanks for the medal. Please don't blame for the way our country is right now, it was Junior (GW)who did it, not me.
President Bush's thoughts:
I'm squeezing as hard as I can ... and he isn't even flinching one bit!!
President Bush, I'm not sure if it's you or Robin Williams
Mr. President (Obama), thank you for the medal, now don't take any crap from those new GOPers, they don't know what is like to be in our shoes.
Read my lips, no more taxes... OK?
"But if you invite me to dinner . . . Are you going to feeeeeed me?"
From one President to another, welcome to the club.

Bush says to Obama:
"Can we just pretend that the 8-year run previous to you taking office didn't happen? It's rather embarrasing!"

"Now don't you pull a Boehner on us George, I didn't bring a handkerchief with me"
Okay I had to look up what the metal of freedom is all about and this is what I found:
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is a decoration bestowed by the President of the United States......
It recognizes those individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."
AND now I am more confused! Maybe it was VERY private endeavors! ????

"To bad Saddam couldn't join us today huh?"
Thanks for the medal, but I still take it personally when you blame everything on the Bush administration.
There are rumors that my budget plan is like my golf game it may eventually wind up in the hole.
