Bush On Obama: "I Do Like Him. You'd Like Him, Too" (VIDEO)

In an interview with "Larry King" Tuesday night, President Bush said he was a fan of his successor.

Asked by King if he liked Obama, Bush replied, "I do. I do like him. You'd like him, too."

But Laura Bush said she took some of Obama's critiques of her husband personally.

"Were you angry at it?" King asked.

"Yes, sort of. George didn't really even know about it because he didn't really watch it that much," Laura Bush said, laughing.

Watch:

Bush also said that "during the course of this presidency, I've been disappointed at times by the silly name-calling that goes on in Washington -- it's really not necessary."

Ha ha!! Laura finally admits it: her husband was oblivious to critiques of his character. So THAT'S why Bushie could continue to make his dumb blunders! Laurie "Bubbles" was the one watching the news, and he never even knew!
What a couple of fools!!!

[DACC]

maybe Katie Couric should ask him what newspapers he reads! He didn't know??

that's unbelievable!

[triplbee]

Poor Mrs. Bush must be angry with 75% of the country.

Does Laura have a nickname? I'd like to call her Bubbles because that's the kind of world the Bushes live in--a bubble. I think they have Lawrence Welk music playing in their heads all day as a coping mechanism.

That's it!!! champagne bubbles!

Laura the pattern woman for the remake of the Stepford wives but with less gray matter.

mrs bush should dwell on the fact that she is married to a national disaster who will be the brunt of jokes and laughs from now on thanks to video and audio of her spouse's destruction of this once great country.

[Olampean]

Gee, I kinda sorta feel sorry for her.......­......a little bit.......­..........­..., well, you know she.......­........., naah.

When one does not live in reality its hard to convince the person that even an apple is a fruit.

[bobbysgurl]

Dubya and Laura Bush = Tweedledee and Tweedledumber.

[iRob08]

Laura should try being an Iraqi or a Palestinian, both peoples directly affected by malignant, sociopathic foreign policies initiated by or supported by Bush. Her anger at Obama's criticism of her hubby is criminally negligent.

What a surprise. Bush didn't listen to anything critical of himself. Maybe if he had, the country would be in a better place now. I understand that presidents are isolated. But this man took it to a new level. And how dare you Laura get upset with facts, facts of you own husbands doing. He IS the person that is ultimately responsible for decisions made and the results thereafter. I think you are just barely skimming outside your husbands bubble.

[lotechgma]

Well said.

[Manx]

So Laura Bush thinks Obama is just too uppitty...­..

[deepfreezevideo]

Laura, when you get to Dallas...S­HUT THE F***** UP!

[baptox]

Would somebody please tell her that beige, polyester pantsuits went out in the 70's? She looks like a freakin' time-warped taxidermist got a hold of her...

[citizensrus]

Laura Bush was angry at something Obama said. I wonder if that was the very day the Obama's requested to be able to move into the Blair house early?

[the964kid]

Was Laura angry about all the good men and women Bush disparaged over the years?? I doubt it...

Laura, your husband is probably going to be known as amongst the worst 3 american presidents ever - this will be less painful if you will accept this. Nearly 70% of Americans agree with Obama's criticisms, are you also upset with 70% of America???

"Was Laura angry about all the good men and women Bush disparaged *ruined, outed, caused to be killed, maimed, or othwerwise coldly threw away* over the years?? I doubt it... "

fixed it for you...
