The Blairs hearts sank when they learnt that George Bushs victory over Al Gore in 2000 had been ratified and that he was to become President of the United States, Cherie Blair reveals in The Times today.
She tells how she and her husband watched Mr Bush on television and were concerned at his poor grasp of foreign affairs, but Mr Blair was determined to have a strong relationship with the Republican President.
Although they had initial reservations about his political leanings she and her husband learnt to appreciate a very funny, charming man with a quirky sense of humour.
Mrs Blair describes Mr Bushs tendency to talk Texan a trait that he himself has blamed for his bad press but goes farther, comparing him with Bill Clinton, who is also from the South. She says: Clinton may talk Southern, [but] he doesnt think Southern, whereas Bush thinks Texan.

Cherie has an unfortunate case of hoof in mouth disease that has not served her or Tony well over the years.
What a silly bunt.
LOL! It’s “bint” - and she isn’t young enough to qualify for that term, anyway. But as another poster pointed out, she actually praised Bush and the Times buried it deep in the article, instead putting the slant they wanted on the story.
