George W. Bush on his dad's brush with LBJ's salty humor

George H.W. Bush asked Lyndon Baines Johnson about the difference between the House and the Senate, and Johnson replied as only he could, former President George W. Bush says

"Making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg. It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else." (Lyndon Johnson)

[TropicalLatitude]

In hindsight, few if any Presidents got as much accomplished as LBJ. He was on the phone 24/7 and never let up the pressure.

Great, humorous story! LBJ had an iconic way of describing things, and George H.W. Bush was a class act. Thanks for sharing, and please keep these political video interviews and clips coming.

LBJ had served in both houses and knew the Senate was where you could really make a difference in terms of legislation

[Blakecartersfs]

You know the world is a strange place when I miss George bush

[_MaxHeadroom_]

Why were they sitting so damn close to each other? 😄

[instapizzabmx]

That’s honestly really cool. I never knew that GHWB actually met LBJ

[darreljohnson]

When I see Bush Jr. all I can think of is Will

[uzmandoktor]

I always laugh this man. He is naturally funny.

Bush Jr and Lyndon Johnson had so much in common. Two politicians from Texas who became President. One a Republican and the other a Democrat. They had two unpopular wars under their belts. Johnson was unpopular when he left office as well as W. And they were good old boys.

Why didn't Bob Shieffer just sit on his lap?

[ZingaraJoe]

LBJ and GHWB go way back, recall GHWB became Dir. of CIA prior to attaining the presidency for himself.

[drbonesshow]

LBJ's footprint was on the arse of the entire Bush Family.

[larrywheeler]

They both on the same team. Oil and military contracts.

LBJ and Jumbo ran through many White House secretaries.

Bob Schifer...before he retired mentioned .." Well this is the quality of candidates we got "
Different Era..
