  • Laura was liberal and so was his mom, Barbara, so it was a good contrast.

  • Totally pulls off the young George Bush vibe

  • W got game!

  • Elizabeth Banks is smokin' hot.

  • George Bush Is A Gangster

  • The smartest thing George Bush ever did was marrying and fucking that fine woman. That would be a proud accomplishment for any man

  • The United States is the North East.

    Everything else is just our territory.

  • I think people falsely equate a good president with a likable personality.

  • I believe The Dark Knight is an allegory of The Presidency of George W. Bush.

    In the begining Batman is beloved by the public, and than shit hits the fan when a terrorist by the name Joker starts killing people and blowing shit up. Batman is having a hard time finding the Joker, the public turns on him, wanting him to resign, Batman decides to be the outcast and do what's right, and uses illegal surveliance technology to defeat the bad guy.

  • @walmartpimp2 yeah, you're probably right, the only thing is that one is fiction and the other is scary fact, george bush ran the presidency like a popularity contest

  • What a creep! e.e

  • sometimes u dont need a great politician to b president... just a great man to do whts right.

  • He's a modest man, thats why people voted for him.

  • While I still think Bush was a not-so-good president, he certainly was a good man.

  • i think if bush didnt have laura he would have been worse. she seemed to be his anchor

  • did she really kill a guy?

  • BIG MISTAKE. lols

  • Elizabeth Banks is perfect in this role. 

  • Is it fair to say that this movie's theme is that Bush tried to be a good man and failed to bea good president?

  • @thebigfuzzer Absolutely! I think that Stone takes great pains to establish that Bush was not necessarily a bad man, just a bad president. I think it shows that he very badly wanted to do well and make the world a better place, but he simply wasn't equipped to do so. As well, he was surrounded by individuals who soon found that they could manipulate and take advantage of him, and they played him like a fiddle. He's certainly not beyond reproach by any means, but he's not evil, either.

  • @34ptruth34 I think it's interesting too to consider how different Presidents delegate responsibility within their administration. I know I'm about to get ripped up in the comments for this haha but I can see some parallels between how Bush handed off powers to his Cabinet members much in the way that Obama has (although it looks like he's finally wising up and stopping) delegated authority to the Congress. I couldn't name two members of the Obama Cabinet if I had to while Bush's was a who's who

  • This scene is awesome.

    I wouldn't say this movie is the "portrait of the man" that everyone is crediting it. Just some guy's interpretation.

  • sorry for the length had alot to say also sorry for the spelling long day was on the way to bed when i came across all the comments and decided to set some people straight for what the think they know

    also they all go to gether so please read them thats way before u start bitchin

  • ok people chill out stay with facts the facts are it takes 75 years for government classified documents to come out

    saddam was basically the hitler of his time but not as smart he was a bad guy without a doubt but u have to use stadegy takeing him out when we did might not have been a good choice being that the middleeast feared him

    also its not a for certain fact that the war is over oil i personally think its part of the reason but not the full reason we will find out in about 75 years

  • by the way who ever said we found uranium there and it was sent to canada what r u smokeing cuase i want some no weapons of mass desturction where found there becuase he either used them all, sold them, or moved them we know he had them becuase we gave them to him in the ten year war with iran in the 70s and 80s

    and

  • to the englishmen on here if it wasnt for the jollie ol americans germany would have control of your country and the rest of europe if it wasnt for us saving yall from an ass whoppin you wouldnt be europe cuase it was us who supplied yall when we wernt in it and it was us who push russa to help and we made germany repay yall for the shit yall went through and we helped rebuild u theres no dept becuase where alies

    and

  • by the way wikipedia is not a good example for anything for the reason they arnt alway correct due to people not geting there facts right

    bush wasnt the best president and he sure as shit wasnt the worst but he did not singlehandly fuck up this country congress helped to and they are mostly democrats

    by the way it take 4 to 6 years for a president to fix the last ones 8 years of mastakes so back off of obama for the time being hes tring to fix the last 8 to 12 years of fuck ups

  • sides remember that it took nixon 4 to 6 years to fix kennedys and johnsons fuck up

    and to who reads this and disagrees call me what u please i dont care just remember everyone has the right to form an opion but not the right to pressure some one else sides opions are like assholes everybody has one and the all stink including mine

  • yee-ha!

  • I believe there was a lot to like about George W.Bush and even more to like about Laura Bush. Although I believe thats almost a crime to say that here in the UK.

  • Laura Bush killed a guy.

  • 300,000 mass graves of men,women and children were found.uranium was found and sent to canada.oddly,bush did not make a big deal as clinton or obama would have.he was too honest of a man to his own peril.tapes were found of men thrown from bridges into traffic,women raped and battles staged where men were forced to fight animals and be mauled to death.50 milion people were saved from a man that had solid gold bathrooms while his people starved.shame on oliver stone and this bunch of crap

  • I enjoyed this movie because it pointed out the real reason America invaded Iraqi. The scene where Cheny(Dryfus) stands in front of the world map and talks about the limited availability of oil in the future and how the United states will have to compete with Russia and China for it.

  • george bush is my favorite president

  • @Coachmaster I am partial to Bush Senior, but I give respect to George junior where it is deserved. They are both veterans of the United States Military (US Navy [Sr.] and US Air Force [Jr.]), which makes them more deserving of presidential office than Clinton or Obama.

  • @NewBrunswickJim George Jr was in the National Guard.

  • @Coachmaster i can only hope thats sarcasm

  • bush is a stupid cunt

  • @TheBuick8888 yea so is ur mommy well actully she is more like a smelly cunt

  • @TheBuick8888 : It takes a minimum of 20 years before it can be decided if any president was any good. Nixon who was hated during his time as president is looking more favorable by the year as time pases.....also as time goes by more information is "declassified" and the public becomes more aware & understanding as to the decisions a president made during his time in office. Only time will tell.

  • Comment removed

  • @johngl70

    bet u wouldnt say the that 2 one of are faces

    remember war worl 2

    bitch boi

  • Oh yeah sorry i forgot that the Americans are the saviors i do apologize for that. Who are you planning to send into your new war? Flash or Batman? Don't send wonder woman because she could have problems in there ;) Read some history kid before you can talk. Bush two times president? Just ignorants ;)

  • didnt the americans rebuild your country ?

  • French Revolution rebuild my country, Roman Empire rebuild my country and Etruscan rebuild my country just to mention the last 2000 years. That's more history that what Vegas or Hollywood could ever teach you. After the second world war, European countries have paid and more than repaid any debt with America, if you don't trust my words, just use wikipedia. I'm not trying to point out which part of the world is better, i just declare a fact that Usa has a lot,lot to learn, child ignorance ;)

  • @johngl70 Not really.

  • @johngl70 : you have to remember, many Americans still question if G.W. Bush even really won his first term....the country was split right down the middle...it's not like he won by a huge margin.....by his second term...many Americans were not willing to "change horses in mid stream" after the 911 attack. I firmly believe He would not have won a 2nd term had the 911 attack not happened on his watch

  • @inkey2: Finally a comment worth to read coming from a native. I know that as a fact but still, the death of 50.000 people doesn't allow a nation to destroy half of the other part of the world. Again, America needs to learn from the mistakes the are doing. Hopefully we won't see any more cruelty coming from a superior country or a mad man, being elected twice. Thank you for your comment.

  • @johngl70 : I am curious....I'd like to ask you a question....do you think it would be acceptable (or wise) for all middle eastern countries to be allowed develop "atomic weapons"? After all, the USA has not used them in 64 years. If all the Arab countries were to have such weapons I fear they would not be as restrictive in the use of them as the USA has been.

  • I think this is not the right place to write about that. Email will be better in that case. However, as my country is also involved in the Nato coalition my point of view counts as yours. Remember that the media is the one showing you the criteria that the western world has against nuclear development. The Usa has not used the nuclear attack in 64 years but the middle east has never used it at all, always stick to the facts even thought they can be hard. I will send you a message with my mail. J

  • Yes i would, i am not trying to start a fight, again, it is a massive fact the dumbness of America dealing with other countries or solving it's national premises. Just take a deep look. Bitch boi? Is it a word? Means that many women are around me? Well, thanks Obamahater, i see that you are a bit of a brain, aren't you.. Cheers mate.

  • Or how about fuck you!

  • How can i fuck myself? I would assume that if you use that word means that you have tried that already. Could you please show us, maybe with a youtube video? Ask any member of your family to hold the camera,i am sure someone will have the pleasure. Cheerio....

  • It's refreshing to know, after eight years of suffering under the blind irrationality of the right, that the left is no better.

  • You realize the plot of this whole movie was essentially fabricated? They make the assumption that Bush had daddy problems.

    I watched this with an open mind, thinking it would be a serious portrayal of Bush...instead it was just another caricature.

  • it wouldn't be interesting if it was all, hey dad, hey son.

  • but why make stuff up and pass it on as fact

  • did anyone say that to bush?

  • zing

  • Its really nice to see there are other people out there who see past the cruel, liberal media that has demonized W. Bush, and his family. Thank you to everyone who stuck by Bush! There are some sane people in the world :)

  • This movie is much better than its reputation. Josh Brolin is an outstanding actor!

  • I sure miss W...He was a man of conviction and beliefs!!!

  • Obama has now adopted ALL of Bush's national security policies - which proves that Bush was right all along. God bless W. He kept us safe for 7 years.

  • Amen. History will show Bush was right and all these lefties were dead wrong.

  • pffff tell that to all the dead soldiers and civilians. Ignorance is bliss huh.

  • Yeah, kept us safe after he realized that he was sleeping on the job during 9-11. But he sure accomplished fucking up Iraq pretty well.

  • Iraq is better today than under Saddam. That's a fact you have to deal with JazzBitch.

  • Yeah and I'm sure the 100,000's of dead civilians would agree with you. : )

  • That's funny I didn't know the George Bush worked airport security during the day of 9/11. Also how is overthrowing a tyrant and bringing democracy to iraq fucking it up?

  • @detectivesyme you both need to get fucked...hard!!

  • @detectivesyme What have you been smoking? If anything he plunged us further into a costly war that we now cannot seem to get out of.

  • Fuck me huh?...Well ok, Thanks but your SLUT ASS MOMMA is taking care of that for me, ok son =)!!! But Thanks for reminding me boy!!

  • Becuz here is a guy who was critisized for about 5-6 yrs non-stop and not only for his policies but the typical liberal personal attacks. And when he came Home it was like, he felt at peace you could see it in his eyes that he was TRUELY HOME and was vindicated somewhat and yes not everything popular is right, Adolph Hitler was one of the most popular leaders in World History, loved by all of Germany as it's savior..he was also one of the most Evil men in World History, but liberals dont c that

  • Fuck you.

  • THANK YOU walmartpimp2, you are dead on 100% CORRECT about President Bush!!! I Pray that History will judge him kindly, not to many new networks covered this but the day of Obama's Inaguration when W flew back to Midland, TEXAS for a Welcome Home Party he was greeted a Heroes Welcome and gave a speech saying that he wanted everyone to know, EVERYTHING he did, he did not for himself or personal gain or popularity but becuz he felf in his heart it was right!!! I felt really good for him!!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow u fought in Afganistan? :O i dont mean to be dis-respectful but what was it like?

  • bush sucks

  • lmao!

  • whoa... you need medicine, REALY!

  • she's cute as  hell!

  • I am so buying this on Blu-ray next Tuesday.

  • geez I saw pictures of Laura when she was young and she looked much cuter than that actress. there are plenty of cute women. they couldn't find anybody better?

  • I beg to differ. I just watched W and Elizabeth Banks was hot. Perhaps a little too sexy to be Laura.

  • elizabeth banks is so pretty :)

  • I've read "Conscience of a Conservative".

    It's not very "engaging" at all.

  • search for "howard stern Obama supporters" and see the genius left...complete retards.

    Question: "do you support Obama's choice of Sarah Palin as VP?" RETARDED DEMOCRAT: "oh yeah, she is a great choice!!!" Way to Go!!

  • I think they give him too much credit to be reading Barry Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative... The alternate cut should say:

    "I'm reading something right now. A very engaging book."

    "What is it?"

    "Puff the Magic the Dragon..."

  • Good One! XD

  • Laura Bush should of married the man that she killed.

  • I think this movie is brilliant. The point is to show Bush the human being. Whether you like him or not, he is a real man with a real story. Anybody who thinks this movie is trying to make Bush look good has bought in to the trend of treating public figures as inhuman caricatures. An attempt to get to the real identity of Bush ruins that illusion and makes some people uncomfortable. Bush is human, and personally I think he has an extremely fascinating story, whether I agree with him or snot.

  • I completely agree with you, Bush is a human being, with feelings, and ambitions, and insecurities, and morals like anyone else. I loved W, and as soon as it comes on Blu Ray, I will be the firs to get it. W is a very charming and enlightening movie.

  • redneck dum ass Irish southerner and brain like is squinted eyes in the toilet of History

  • Show some god damn respect for The President!!! You don't know what it's like to lead so many. You don't know what it's like to have the burden of the world on your shoulders. You don't know what it's like to walk a mile in his shoes. I've been to Iraq, I've seen the oppression Suddam has inflicted on his people, and even though Iraq had no WmD Suddam had to be stopped. And now that he's gone, freedom must be maintained until the people of Iraq can sustain themselves.

  • @KillMeNow1990 I completely agree. I have loved Stone's work since I first saw The Doors when I was little. Although I dont agree with his politics, I can fully say that if it were anyone to tell the story of the former President, let it be Oliver Stone. With his masterpieces like JFK and Nixon, He told the story of W quite awesomely!! I believe the movie came out, Too Soon, but "W" cleared the way to show Bush as a true meaning, other than what those liberals portrayed him in the media

  • @KillMeNow1990 I totally agree. It's not just about his flaws or his good side, but it's about just a guy born with the circumstances of a perfectionist dad, being in the shadow of his brother, and finding his true self in something (politics) where he can finally do something right (after screwing up other stuff). Kinda like the story of many of our ordinary lives and the stuff we face everyday... except that the stuff Bush faced is at a high level of society.

  • @TaintedFaith88 Well, if that were the case, he would have apologized. Instead, he stuck to his guns, and sacrificed his dignity. He gave us the freedom to mock him everyday. However, compared to Obama, this man got things done, and that is what I appreciate about him.

  • W is pretty smooth...I like the way he pulled that off..

  • It's not supposed to make him look good.

  • bush is the typical redneck

  • ok i dont think so.. he went to Yale and then got an MBA from Harvard, with better grades than Al Gore... he is an intelligent person who just happens to have a twangy southern accent.

  • Yeah. I think he's reasonably intelligent. You'd just never know it to hear the way the guy talks, but you can't be a complete moron and become President.

  • Thank you for saying that. I'm getting absolutely sick and tired of Bush-bashing.

  • Yes. Bush bashing is so boring and cliche. He did get rid of Saddam Hussein, and I believe he was put in an impossible situation after 9-11. The people wanted blood. He gave it to them, and then the people turned on him.

  • I agree. The people turned because they didn't realize there was more to a war than a nice and tidy incursion that would take maybe a couple years. He did make the mistake of hiring some in his administration. That mistake prolonged the war and killed public support.

  • The hoi polloi needs to be instantly gratified, or else they become fickle and cynical. George W Bush did more good for the world, than most people do. I believe history will judge him kindly. B-O-

  • He was a very criticized President and I feel sorry for him and I agree that in the end history will judge him kindly

  • He was criticized unfairly. After 9-11 EVERYBODY wanted to kill someone. He gave them what they wanted, and did what needed to be done. Unfortunately our society is based on instant gratification has trouble seeing things through.

  • Its good to see that there are some smart people on youtube. I agree with you 100%

  • What's popular isn't always right, and what's right isn't always popular. Abraham Lincoln wasn't a very popular President when he was in office. People hated and despised him. And now he's regarded as one the greatest men to have walked the Earth.

    Lincoln knew that people didn't agree with his actions, but he did them anyway.He saw the big picture, when no one else could. I believe there's a big picture that at the time only George Bush was able to see, And he acted accordingly.

  • Well said.

  • Thank you, I am an Army Veteran an an OIF veteran and I agree with you 100%. As much as I hated the Middle East I feel we belonged there, regardless whether there was no WMD or not. Suddam needed to be overthrown, and Iraq needed democracy.

  • Hey, I am a Canadian veteran of Afghanistan. I know how you feel. Most people in our society don't see the good we do, as the fighting is what the media focuses on.

  • I'm glad there are people out there like you who think for themselves, and don't just buy into what the media tells them. I

  • I completely agree. Regardless of whether it's for oil or not, the fact is Iraqi people was under a facist dictatorship before and they were liberated by Bush. These are facts that liberals tend to turn a blind eye on.

  • redneck dum ass Irish southerner and brain like is squinted eyes in the toilet of History

  • george bush owns..you have two's and thats not good.

  • Mmmm, has a way with the ladies, huh? ;D

  • Lmao I quitttttttttttt

  • I would think she was very pretty when she was young. As someone said, she does look good for her age...

  • isnt that that chick who did the blond crazy woman in 40 year old virgin and the redneck wife in slither?

  • bUSH , THE FRISCO TREET

  • At first, I was inclined to write off Karl Rove's criticisms of this movie as "fantasy," given that Rove lies worse than Bush Republicans govern. But having seen this clip, I now agree - This movie is implausible. George W Bush cited a book and its author on its own. I mean, COME ON, everybody knows that he's an illiterate dyslexic retard of a chimpanzee! Shame on you, Oliver Stone, for trying to attribute qualities to an American President where none in fact (in this case, literacy) exist.

  • We don't know the context. For all we know, he could be lying about reading the book. Now that would be in character.

  • Excellent point, virgileco. But I find it doubtful that a semiliterate, drunken retard like Bush would even know the title/author, to be able to lie about reading the book. All part of the massive dumbing down of the Republican party that's been steadily happening over the past 8 years.

  • I don't think thats fair to say. With much respect, Bush did make lot of mistakes but to call him semi-illiterate or a drunken-retard isn't hardly reasonable. Also, with the "dumbing down" of the republican party, Karl Rove may be the most ingenious and brilliant political adviser of our time and Condoleezza Rice (spell check?) was a professor in Staford, the Provost of Stanford, and the second woman after the Clinton administration to become Secretary of State. Oh, and Cheney can shoot people.

  • In the absence of personal acquaintance w/Bush, I have to rely on his track record and info in the public domain. He routinely mispronounces words, stumbles on his sentences, gets facts twisted and has obvious problems thinking even remotely quickly on the fly (witness the 04 Presidential debates). So he is definitely sub-standard in smarts, even more so when compared against any other post-WWII US President (with the possible exception of Ford, and he was a historical accident).

  • On your second point, when I discuss the dumbing down of the GOP, I'm principally talking about the voters the GOP has decided to pander to and make its base over the decades (and especially the past 8 years, courtesy of Rove/Cheney): Middle American, lower middle class subprime trailer-dwelling Jesus-freak swine who think Sarah Palin is smart and will vote for anything with a flag, a gun, and a good war story.

  • Again, 1) this is all personal bias and no textual/proven information. 2) no matter how much daddy pays for you, Bush still got out of Yale with acceptable GPA's. 3)The pandering and shift of Republican voters towards after Clinton just proves Rove's competence in the political scene against strong Democratic opposition. 4) You just admitted on basing your information on public domain which we all know is easily thwarted. im not a republican, im an anit-idiot.

  • Anti-idiot? You sure sound like a typical Bush retard. 1) if you believe Bush routinely sounds intelligent and articulate - even in right-wing media outlets - then you are truly an imbecile yourself. 2) Legacy kids from prominent families who get into any Ivy League are going to pass. Period. 3) I don't dispute that Rove is smart - My point is that his strategy involves dumbing down the GOP by attracting redstate lower middle class buffoons, such as you, who then befoul the party's platform.

  • haha sorry if i sound like a "typical Bush retard" but i lived in Cali all my life and now i am currently going to Calvin College in Michigan. You sound like an angry 14 year old (sounds like only) who just got a little offended because i said idiot-free (i never meant to call YOU an idiot). i never said Bush was articulate by any means (read them all) and dude, any kids rich enough WILL pass but they need to at least take the requisites for high school and College. Don't reply out of anger :).

  • "Cheney can shoot people." Love it :)

  • Either Brolin isnt playing 'W' correctly or Bush is (or was) alot more charismatic in private. Of course, 'W' clearly had that 'intoxicated' charisma going on in this scene...and obviously he hasnt taken a drink in a pretty long time. So maybe he was just charismatic when on the booze.

  • Yeah, I don't know darkthrone - I wouldn't call Josh Brolin's W having "charisma" in this scene, exactly. More of a sort of drunken, "I'm proud to be an ignorant moron" frat-boy folksiness that passes for charisma in the Bible Belt.

  • They made Laura Bush look hotter than she actually is.

  • Hey, shes a good looking lady for her age. I imagine she was this good looking at this age.

  • hell yeah, id bangd this laura

  • well at least the man knew how to pick up a chick lol

  • To bad Laura Bush doesn't look like this anymore. But the actor has Bush packed down. This scene was very charming, and memorable. I look foward to watching this.

  • Clever title by Oliver Stone. He turned all those ridiculous "W." bumper stickers into an advertisement for his movie.

  • its acually called porntube... dont ask me y i kno this...

  • man shes hot, I am actually a fan of president bush(please dont crucify me), I want to go see this movie, I think it looks informative and entertaining, if its just a bunch of Bush bashing could someone tell me now, id be kinda disappointed if it was.

  • death duct tape

  • captures the way he thinks I believe..in terms of how he reacts and what have you!.

  • this clip is very inaccurate

    i don't want to misunderestimate him but he is not really as articulate as hes portrayed

  • I kinda creamed a little... in my undies.. watching that clip.

  • bush=devil.his future wife seen thru him. seen his core; and most americans today still r blind to it. wake up sheep.

  • baaaaaaah!!!! You = hilerious

  • Be careful who you call a sheep. You're the one hiding behind your keyboard calling names. I doubt you'd have the nerve to call somebody that in person.

  • She got it right when she called him a DEVIL. she knew his character and make up from the beginning. and still married him. must take one greedy, corrupt social climber to know one....

  • A lot of women purposely seek out a bad boy because they want to be able to straighten him out. That's why nice guys finish last. :)

  • so you prefer obnoxious cocks down your throat

  • Did anybody ask your opinion? Cuz' I know I didn't.

    I think you're on the wrong website. This is YouTube. I think you must be looking for YouPorn.

  • Okay, Eagle, we get it. You really hate Bush. Yeah, most of us do. But seriously. Stop telling such obvious lies, and grow up.

  • I want to know if this movie is going to be funny or boring. Please, tell me.

  • it will be a dramady

  • It's going to be funny and scary.

  • LOL yeah

  • I want her naked in the movie

  • does she get naked in this?

  • Why do you want to see a sex scene with President Bush? I mean, for the last 8 years, he's been shagging you and me and ever other American in the rear end.

  • No kidding. George W Bush has already plowed every one of our asses. It hasn't been a pretty sight.

  • I don't know about you, but after 8 years of Bush & Cheney, my rectum is hurtin' bad. :(

  • Pal, I despise Bush and company.  But grow the fuck up will ya?

  • It's pretty interesting, but you don't take an exclusive organization of wealthy, greedy, influential people and cry "Satanists!" Trust me, I give the mainstream media no credibility anymore. I think we agree far more than you'd think, but don't waste your intelligence on radical conspiracy theories, because no one will ever take you seriously. And rightfully so, because if you can't prove it, you're automatically bullshit.
