w. bush, obviously.

obama just seems like an arrogant ass.  and apparently most people who knew him before he became famous thought so too.

I think I'd get along with both just fine in certain settings.

I get the feeling that Bush would be much more comfortable discussing average Joe stuff with me.

As much as I blame his administration for the way things keep turning out(they were the ones who started what Obama keeps continuing, after all), Bush himself was just a far-too-average man who got in over his head and let himself be controlled. Obama, on the other hand, is a lawyer and politician through and through. So, disastrous political career or no, Bush.

Average men aren't the son of Presidents and the head of oil companies. Bush was a very intelligent man who knew how to play the folksy role when it was necessary.

Hard to choose.  Probably both of them for different reasons.

Also, for the love of God, change your signature.

Narrowly Bush although Obama is still very personable unlike say Romney.

Bush seems like a nicer, more approachable person on a personal level. If I wanted a running buddy or some older father-figure to talk to, I'd go to him.

I don't have much respect for either, so I abstain.

I don't know, Obama seems like the professor you talk to when you have an interesting idea from the lab or from reading a case. You go from the common rule of vicarious liability for employers and whether or not they are on "frolic" to his best friend from college who is now doing research on warp drives.

Bush seems like the guy that you stuff that you did when you were 18 with. Playing with guns and almost getting killed when you discharge one in the house, trying to pick up loose girls, trying to drink whole cases of beer with in one day and then mock those who got picked up. You know, that sort of stupid sh**t that you wouldn't trade for the world. But any time you use a big word, it ends in a political shouting match and you don't talk for a week.

Certainly Obama because I hate Dubya for his horrible attempt at Presidenting. 

Actually, I met Obama during the 2008 primary race and he was extremely personable.  He doesn't seem aloof or overly intellectual at all.

Probably Bush, though Obama's probably really cool IRL.

Obama. I get along much better with brainy and somewhat aloof people than with the simple and "folksy" types.

I can get along with either of the personality types that they project as their public image, although obviously we'd talk about and do different things.
