Sure they passed the bar…but would you want to have a beer with them at the bar?

Clinton and Obama seem like they'd be cool.

Clinton is a fascinating guy. He has something like an Eidetic memory and can recall names of people he's only met briefly. He can also work a room like no one else can. If there was ever anyone who was just born for politics, he's it.

Clinton called every person that worked in the White House by name.

I don't even know all my coworkers and I'm sure it's less than the number of people that worked in the White House.

Hell, I don't even know everyone in my family tree.

Im fairly certain I'd drink with any of them other than Trump. Bush would probably be fun to drink with, even if I don't agree with his political ideas. A drinking session with Carter might be his last, but if he was offering, sure

Ugh, Bill Clinton gave me one of the worst handshakes of my life one time. Total limp fish, the kind that makes you feel like maybe you should wash your hand to get rid of the feeling. I feel like I'd pass on him.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

He gives handjobs like that too.

Totally unenthusiastic.

Good strat for shaking hundreds of hands. Less fatigue.

Fuck, I just defended a Clinton. brb; gonna wash my brain.

He also couldn't be bothered to stop the conversation he was having with a staff member (about nothing important) or even glance my way. He engaged with everyone before and after me, so it really stood out, to the point that a couple of people commented on how rude it was. It was kind of crushing - I was like, 20, and had really admired him as a kid, and then I paid what was a ton of money for me at the time and waited for hours for nothing. Now that I'm older and a lot more cynical, I wouldn't pay to meet him in the first place, and I definitely wouldn't be surprised by a politician acting like an ass, but back then I was still young and idealistic and had feelings that could be hurt.

Bush Jr did a couple lines at the bar.

And he almost got assassinated by a pretzel. 🥨

He was pretty good at dodging shoes too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I still laugh at the look on his face.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago
