There was a liberal who made a documentry about Bush on his quest to become POTUS.
He treated her very fair, answering her questions and even throwing her a birthday party on the bus.
He did get pissed when she reported something that was supposted to be off the record, but he forgave her in time
Bush had his faults, but he was a big enough man to face his enemies, unlike Obama who cowards and bans them.
It wasn’t only a liberal, it was Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi. Yet Bush treated her well, and by the end of the documentary, you could tell that Ms. Pelosi had come to respect George W. Bush. If I recall correctly, Ms. Pelosi received some criticism from the left for “falling” for President Bush.
