I don't recall a singe photo of Bush mixing it up with the European crowds

[lunatica]

or any crowds ever. All the photos of the Obama's show them practically being mobbed with joy by the crowds and them going out of their way to shake hands and greet them back. What a contrast!

[YOY]

1. I do...

Bush in Albania...some guy stole his watch.

5. Other Presidents

Have other past President's received such a welcome and greeted crowds like this? Clinton?

[Lasher]

6. They loved Kennedy in Berlin. n/t

[JayMusgrove]

9. Clinton did OK in Ireland. Kennedy, of course, everywhere..

Even Ike did fine in Europe.

7. In fairness, he got a very warm reception in London once

:-)

8. Does the time he hit a police officer in Scotland with his bike count?

[LiberalFighter]

10. I'm thinking that Bush has an aversion to be touched by common people.

[lunatica]

12. And who could forget the shoe!

That was a very, very warm, even a hot greeting!

[Jawja]

13. I don't remember him

ever mixing it up with American crowds. Remember the screened audiences? Bush never exposed himself to the general public.

[Grateful for Hope]

14. He never did

and, despite the bias in our own news reporting, the world knew him for what he was.

[lunatica]

15. Finally a President who sees people behind the barriers

Instead of seeing nobodies to ever bother worrying about

[Barack_America]

16. Do these count?

:shrug:
