George W. Bush's 'bromance' with Obama takes internet by storm... after he snubbed Trump

State funerals are largely a somber affair, but an interaction between former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on Thursday has taken the internet by storm.

Both former presidents were seated in the second row for the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.

Video showed both U.S. leaders arriving for the event where Bush greeted Obama in a way that had the internet screaming 'bromance.'

Obama was the first to enter the shot where he greeted the former vice presidents in the row behind him before taking his seat next to President-elect Trump.

When Bush shows up to enter the row, Obama stands up to let him and former First Lady Laura Bush pass.

That's when Bush gave his successor a friendly tap on the stomach before the couple took their seats to Obama's left.

The playful moment did not go unnoticed by people watching coverage of the gathering of some of the world's current and past most powerful U.S. leaders.

I don't mind saying this: There were a LOT of fools who made an idol of George W. Bush.

Yep. And a lot of them were right here on FR. Remember the Bush Harpy squad?

Well, the thing is with Biden, you get what you see.....a angry stupid bully. Bush puts on a pretense.....a conservative. But he’s as fake and deep state as you can get.

God hates hypocrits more than those who either with him or against him. He hates the middle. Bush is a fake and fraud.

A bigger deal was the way Bush and his wife rudely snubbed President Trump and Melania.

The Bushes are scum.

Agree.....i don’t know how he sleeps at night causing the death and maiming of so many people. All because he had Daddy Issues and wanted to please his Daddy.

He’s a damned idiot at funerals. Remember him grinning and dancing with Michelle Obama at that police funeral in Dallas where 5 cops were murdered by a BLM buy?
And what a total prick to walk right by Trump and not even make eye contact.

Look at the exchange between Obama and Harris about Biden’s fondness for pizza & ice cream. Then look at the FBI sex crime file about what those terms really mean to pedos

The term ‘bromance’ is a reprobate term trying to sexualize the concept of friendship between men, to homosexualize the culture. It's a disgusting world out there.

Jethro Bodine Bush.

The ONLY loser that I ever heard who takes his sister cruising while he was drunk.

Unlike Tricky Dicky Cheney he was able to cover up his DUI for heck of a long time.

Democrats thought they had a gotcha moment when they dropped that bombshell weeks before the election.

But it wasn’t anymore successful than the Access Hollywood tape.

Elections are binary, and when a member of the Bush crime family ever wins a presidential election it is always a win for the lesser of two evils.

The Bush Crime Family has always been Deep State. Everyone seems to forget that President Bush 1 was a CIA director and a total snake. His son GWB, though stupider, was just as evil. I have learned to hate the Bush family more than Democrats because they were enemy agents and saboteurs inside the city walls. The Bush Crime Family were and are a curse on the Republican Party.

“W was a slightly better President than algore would have been. Same goes for John Frigg’n Kerry.”

If Al Gore had won in 2000 and 2004, Vice President Lieberman would have likely been the Democrat candidate in 2008 and then again in 2012 had he won the 2008 election. We might have been spared Obama or seen Obama face Trump in 2016.

In addition McCain would likely have been the GOP candidate in 2004 if Gore had won in 2000, and assuming McCain lost, someone else would have been the GOP candidate in 2008. Romney perhaps. Arguably Lieberman would have been a better president than McCain or Romney.

Thank Ralph Nader for George W. Bush being elected POTUS in 2000 instead of Al Gore. Nader won 97,488 voted in Florida in 2000. Bush beat Gore by less than 600 votes in the final Florida tally. Had Nader not been on the ballot. most of his supporters would likely have voted for Gore or stayed home. It is logical Gore would have captured at least 600 of the 97,488 Nader votes in Florida, thereby winning Florida’s 25 electoral votes and the election.

Is there a bigger scumbag than George W. Bush? I don’t think so.

Yeah, the 4 in the front row, ALL of the second row....except President Trump and Melania

GWB gave us the EMR regs that made implementation of Obamacare far easier.

That was not an accident.

Oh, and the little fact that Niel Bush and John Hinklwy Jr were best friends.
