Not bad! I like the limo and the UN fry cook. ---

I think Bush was more skilled, though then again his were made at leisure, not hastily doodled. And Clinton has a bit of surreal humor to him (the UN as a fry cook?). ---

The doodles are mercifully spare. Bush’s paintings are dreadful. ---

The Atlantic Wire pointed out that it appears that Clinton doodled a guy with a big dong in the third pic down. ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > The Atlantic Wire pointed out that it appears that Clinton doodled a guy with a big dong in the third pic down. Next to “Bob Dole?” That’s funny, but this is even more insignificant than the hack of Bush’s paintings. ---

I didn’t notice until somebody pointed it out, but the text next to that doodle kind of explains it (admittedly in a surreal way). 🙂 ---

Google Reagan doodle and you can see a few of his. Along with articles saying that Margaret Thatcher kept some of his doodles. ---

I smell hoax. It seems unlikely Clinton was doodling like a ten-year-old in a boring math class during a briefing on intervention in Yugoslavia. He was the president - if he didn’t want to sit through a briefing, he just nodded his head to his chief of staff and the briefing was over. ---

He sure liked to draw flags and stars. > [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I smell hoax.

He was the president - if he didn’t want to sit through a briefing, he just nodded his head to his chief of staff and the briefing was over. This is so not about what doodles are. I doodle all the time, _especially_ when I’m listening and not expected to speak. It keeps me in the room and not out on the beach or re-modeling my house. ---

He was the president - if he didn’t want to sit through a briefing, he just nodded his head to his chief of staff and the briefing was over. As noted above, Reagan was famous for his doodles. A lot of people doodle, including me. You don’t stop a lifelong habit just because you become president; ask Monica. ---
