I also listen to this kind of videos in order to improve my listening skills but I'm having some trouble.

George Bush's accent is, I think, pretty typical of Texans. (I have a couple of nieces from Texas.)

(In Texas they say y'all. Example: "What y'all gonna have?" (Spoken by a waitress to restaurant patrons.)

In Texas they pronounce oil as all (as in ball). Example: "I got some oil (all) on my ball." (Spoken by a bowler.)
