The Best Of Letterman's "Cool/Not Cool": Obama Vs. Bush (VIDEO)

David Letterman has never been a fan of George W. Bush. During the former president's time in office, Dave mocked his use of language, his intelligence, his policies and his demeanor. Now, after his successor has proven to be a smart, deliberate and skillful speaker, Letterman has found a way to mock all of those aspects of Bush at the same time: Comparing him to Obama.

In a segment he started when the new president took office called "Cool/Not Cool" Dave looks at some similar situations the two men found themselves in (basketball photo-ops, White House press conferences, commencement addresses) and compares their actions/words to see who ends up looking cool and who ends up looking idiotic. You'll never guess which way it plays out.

i made a negative comment about letterman with no profanity did you delete it?

letterman is an ignorant rude jerk

I would love to see him do a feature-length film on this! God knows Bush has given us enough comic fodder to keep us laughing for a very long time. It would be to his advantage, too, because everyone knows we love comedians more than we do dictatorial tyrants.

Letterman missed one! Just a shot of Obama using a door correctly, then Bush trapped and confused by a large wooden door in front of the press! Maybe he's saving it for future Cool/Not Cool installments!

You just can't get any stupider than George W. Bush. That belly bump... unbelievable.

[ifihadahammer]

I believe you mean "terrorist chest bump"!

[FlyingHacker]

WTF? the last one with the chest bump was awesome!

[foxbat]

Funny, but also sad, about how much fuss was made over a fist bump when the chest bump, which was actually more of a belly bump, long preceeded it.

[mgray34]

This is hilarious!!!! What a contrast...lol

The last one looked like Bush was just yawning and then some dude just ran up and (terrorist?) chest bumped him.

I'll give them both the benefit of the doubt and assume the aforementioned dude was trying to bodyslam Bush, and Bush somehow became as immovable as his views, thus causing the attacking dude to just bounce right off.
