Rate Last 50 years of Presidents.

Yeah, a real male Texan is gonna me the head cheerleader at a Northeastern prep school? Right. They come a lot more Texan, friend. You're talking about an upper crust, privaledged family, primarily isolated from commoners. The man doesn't even have a Texas accent.

 

No one else in his family (father, mother, brother, sister, etc..) has a Texas accent. The little (maybe overplayed) accent he does have probably came from his wife, a real Texan.

from link below:

President Bush is known as a plainspoken man, a straight-talker. So how did a word like "kerfuffle" come out of his mouth? It's not an everyday word; it means a commotion or fuss. Bush casually used it during a question-and-answer session after a speech at the City Club here. ...
An aide said he has heard Bush use the word privately before, but not in public.
​

Listen to his father -- New England accent. But the Connecticut-born New England prep-school boy Bush somehow sounds like a West Texas farmhand? Uh, no.
My favorite evidence of Bush's accent being nothing more than a political device is his pronunciation of the word "rather." Most Texans -- hell, most Americans -- pronounce "rather" with the same A sound as "rabbit" or "bad." But not Bush. In his county club world, the A sound is more like an O, so it sounds like he's actually saying "rother." It's as funny to me as it is predictable. I've never heard him say it any other way.

hmmm?

 

You obviously have spent little or no time with either "northeastern bluebloods" or "true texans", whatever the hell that is.

What is he supposed to do for you? Chew tobacco and wear chaps at the White House? This guy could not be any more Texan if he was related to T Boone Pickens.

You are so far off on this one, it's laughable. But looking at your other posts, it doesn't surprise me.

 

So, you don't know what it is, but you know he's one? :insane:
Please, go play somewhere else kid.
He's no more a Texan than you are intelligent.

 

Considering I am 40, have family from New York, live in Houston currently, and have actually been to Bush senior's house here in Houston, on more than one occasion, I know exactly what I am talking about.

You are actually arguing about the geographical influence to Bush's personality? And you base your proof upon wikipedia quotes?

And I see you actually edited your post to include this:

You highlight your ignorance with each post you make.

 

Well, you don't form logical arguments like a mature man. So where you lived and live and because you went to Bush's house proves that you know what you're talking about? I site facts from wikipedia. That's one way to prove an argument, not by writing meaningless trivia like you.

Look, maybe your version of a real Texas man is one that is a cheerleader at a Northeastern prep school. Whatever rocks your world, dude.:lol:

Oh, and i can think of more quintessential Texans than that tree hugger Pickens.

 

Now, that is funny.

Yes, it does. It shows that I know, live amongst, and understand people from both regions.

Much better to quote from them and extrapolate what Bush's personality is like, as opposed to having met him in person and been around his family?



:rofl:

 

Your impressions are meaningless. You know people, and live amongst, but understand little. I lived in Texas for a while, and everyone knows a few New Yorkers, and I have relatives from New Hampshire, whoopty-doo. I've met Bush Sr., and he struck me as a yankee.

W summered in Kennebunkport, prepped (head cheerleader) and college in Northeast, and visited daddy at the Houstonian. He's not a real Texan. He's from an old, privaledged, blueblooded Northeastern family who's lived in Texas.

I'm sure he made you feel like he was one of the guys when you met him. I bet he even made you feel liked. Try to stay out of jail, dude.
