Oops, we don't take credit for Bush's birth. He was born in Connecticut. They even have a sign saying they apologize.

He's just an illusion. If I remember right, he doesn't even like horses and I've never seen him with a cigar.
You must be thinking of LBJ. I here tell that LBJ liked to get drunk, ride around his ranch in his jeep in the buff. LBJ did carry on in Viet Nam so I guess you could call him a war president.
Some crazy Texans

Actually Bush was not born in Texas... he was born in New England to a Connecticut family. He spent a few years in Texas as a kid then went to prep schools in the east and lived in Washington D.C as a teen THEN he came back as an adult who then picked up his twang and silly cowboy way of talking. NOBODY here talks like this.
Bush adopted the "Texas persona".... lots of people that move to Texas seem to adopt this swagger and posture. Its really insulting to the rest of us that have lived here for generations but what can you do.

Lousy presidents can come from all 50 states.
Clinton and his cigars were from Arkansas .
Look at everything he screwed up, so you see Democrats can be idiots also.

Good Point. Lyndon Johnson was also fits this criteria. At least Bush doesn't hold press conferences while he's on the toilet.

Roosevelt wasn't born in Texas,
Kennedy wasn't born in Texas,
I don't know about Truman or "Ike".
Maybe it's like the old saying,
"You don't have to be CRAZY
to work here,
but it sure does HELP!"
I didn't know where Georgie was born,
but I didn't think it was Texas.
