They've even somehow rehabilitated George W. Bush even though he's evil incarnate.

The bit where they had Bush giving candy to Michelle Obama six fucking years after the "end" of the Iraq War.

“He has the presence of mind and the sense of humor to bring me a mint,” Obama said of the former president, per ABC7. “And he made it a point to give me that mint right then and there, and that’s the beauty of George Bush.”

Actual quote from Michelle Obama.

In October of this year, Obama discussed her close relationship with the former president while making an appearance on TODAY to interview with Bush's daughter, Jenna Bush Hager.

“I’d love if we as a country could get back to the place where we didn’t demonize people who disagreed with us. Because that’s essentially the difference between Republicans and Democrats,” she began. "That doesn’t make me evil. And that doesn’t make him, you know, stupid—it’s just a disagreement and that’s how I feel about your father. You know? He’s a beautiful, funny, kind, sweet man.”

HE MURDERED A MILLION PEOPLE OBAMA!

(I never know how to refer to the spouses of major political figures. First name, for women especially, seems demeaning but not in a useful way, while last name is confusing, and fuck me if I'm putting "Mrs".)

He's just a kind old feller who spends time painting nowadays. Wholesome harmless grandpa with a guilt free conscience.

"That doesn't make me evil."

I politely and respectfully disagree with killing one million Iraqi people, Mr. Bush.

If she held Dubya to a higher moral standard than this, she might have to consider doing the same to Barack, and she definitely doesn't want to do that.
