People just automatically say 'If this guy is George and Barbara Bush's son, we don't have any question about those personal qualities that we were fooled on by Clinton.'

This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership, that is the way he does what he does, is to his perception.

Most of the things that need to be said about the President are things he can't say himself.

Every person has only so much attention to give, and politics and government takes up only a fraction of what it did 25 years ago.

The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.

This has resulted in more and more people becoming inner-directed and having as their only goal, getting as much as they can get out of the system and putting as little into it as possible

It is my belief that it is not the fact that he traveled as much as he did during the past few months as much as what he said and how he said it that hurt him.
