The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now (Alzheimer's Syndrome). Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's - these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people.

I'm aware that most people who meet me for the first time think of me in a certain way because of who my father is. That just comes with the territory. But that's been that way ever since I was a little kid as long as I can remember. I grew up that way.

Neither of my parents would ever stand in the way of any of their children speaking their minds.

I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline.

Now, ignorance is one thing, ignorance can be cured. But many of the Republican leaders opposing this research know better.

When you hear somebody justifying a war by citing the Almighty, I get a little worried, frankly.

My father never felt the need to wrap himself in anybody's mantle. He never felt the need to pretend to be anybody else. This is their administration. This is their war. If they can't stand on their own two feet, well, they're no Ronald Reagans, that's for sure.
