I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective we've had in a couple of hundred years.
I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.
Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.
The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive.
This isn't a man who is leaving with his head between his legs.
I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close, personal, loyal relationship. I'm not, as they say, a potted plant in these meetings.
