I would love to have a real man in the White House but Bush was not it. He was as much out of his league dealing with Putin as Obama is. I still think this is his dumbest quote and the man was famous for his dumb quotes:
Q: As president you met and dealt with many foreign leader...you write, “I’ve always been able to read people.” Vladimir Putin, when you first met him you said you got a sense of his soul...
Bush: I looked in his eyes and saw his soul.
Sorry to tell you thus Dubya, but when you look into the eyes of a KGB agent you see whatever the KGB agent wants you to see.
