So, Bush was the President you could drink a beer with, right? Check this out:
“The final question Hart asked was what each participant would tell Obama if he called to wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Their thoughts were predictable—keep your promises, etc.—but none of them argued with the premise, which is to say: They all could imagine speaking easily to their new president.”
Barack Obama is the President you can speak with.
That’s quite a bit better, isn’t it?
