One of the key things about Bush is that the private bush was an intensely emotional

man.

He cried at the drop of a hat.

Still does.

You know, there could be a heavy due outside and he will we...

But the country didn't see that very much.

They saw a man they thought was out of touch.

They saw a man they thought didn't understand a supermarket scanner.

They saw a man who they believed to be a rich man out of tune with recessionary times.

The reality is that this was a man who Bill Clinton may have said, I feel your pain.

George Bush really did.

He just didn't think that it was the role of a president to emote all the time.

You know, he thought that yes, he put it, you know, you're just damn lucky to be there.

You should do your job and be the president.

And you can argue that was naïve.

You can argue that was out of tune with the times.

He certainly paid the ultimate political price for it.

But, you know, in an age now where everyone's emoting all the time and real time, all over

social media and all over our culture, you know, the appeal of a dignified.

World War II combat veteran congressman ambassador to the United Nations, ambassador to China,

director of the CIA, vice president, president.

I have a lot to recommend it.
