This was an interesting video. Mainly interesting to see him just riffing on stuff. Didn't realize this, but I don't think we ever really saw Bush just riff and ramble. Everything was always bullet points and politicking. Now he's all, "Well, if you see me on the street or in the airport feel free to wave. Hopefully with five fingers, but I've seen both ways so whatever."
The part where he talks about China at the end is particularly interesting.
He was probably inuendated with the one finger waves.
I think he learned early on that breaking away from bullet points wasn't his strong point. Guy got his own freaking word because he butchered our language so badly.
Strategery.
Anyone else watch and recommend it? OP isn't really clear about content. If it's about his 8 years of presidency in a political way, I'd be less inclined to sit through it. If it's more a personal angle it could be good.
Not sure what riff and ramble means :(
Not particularly interested in this long video, but I'm not surprised. Everything I've heard says W is very personable and fairly funny. His inability to communicate about policy extemporaneously boded poorly for his executive skills, but doesn't mean he is dumb or inarticulate in general.
Basically, an open-ended monologue, making associations as he thinks of them based on the questions he's being asked.Quote:

He also makes fun of the founder of Facebook for not graduating from college, then fist-bumps him for not graduating from college. Some of the comments are sorta surreal.
I was hoping that he would poke fun at Zuckerberg for attending Harvard (since Bush is a Yale grad). Interesting video nonetheless.
