President Bush Conducting

Our President, George W. Bush, is better at conducting an orchestra, as he demonstrated at the 2008 White House Correspondents Dinner, than leading our country. But honestly, he's not a bad person just not the best president there ever was.

Lydon B. Johnson as strong?? More like naive. Also under Kenedy might as well put "player"

From a musician's standpoint......This video is hilarious

[cory45x]

to tell the truth he was good at both jobs. just at a crappy time

I don't see why people think it's so bad. Ya, his pattern gets reversed a lot, but overall for a non-musician I'd say it was pretty darn good. He knew the piece really well - even gave cues - and he was enthusiastic and looked like the music. A big part of being a conductor is being a "cheerleader." He didn't just beat beats, he actually felt the music and showed it. This is a patriotic song, and that's exactly how his conducting would have made me feel if I were playing.

not to be a pretentious musician, but his pattern's backwards most of the time and it physically hurts me to watch it :p lol

@sumoldfool Hard to believe. You crack me up.

[sumoldfool]

@Luneleger EVERY President ?? Both Parties ??Hard to believe. Think you need to read up a little more.

[sumoldfool]

@Luneleger mmmmm 

[Luneleger]

@sumoldfool Not really. Every president since and including Hoover has stunk to high heaven.

@TheMichiganfan39 That was FDR and he wasn't strong enough to walk. JFK wasn't so smart as he was a skirt chaser. W was the son of a President, born in Connecticut, Harvard and Yale grad, who milked a phony country boy image to win the Texas governorship because daddy knew southern governors do well in presidential elections. That is why W's brother became governor of Florida. Daddy Bush's plan worked for the most part and prince W got elected twice to be President. Bro never got to play prez.

Pretty good job-of course, the band is known as "the President's own" As an aside, Presidents and their administartions have to be over for at least FIFTY YEARS before historians can judge their quality.
