No, not in public, but there has been speculation those from his administration expressing concern were in a way conveying a message of caution from him. Not saying that I buy that as anything more than liberal spin, but it wouldn't surprise me either. Nor would it lower my respect for Bush.

My point was that no man is independently wise. There are some things a younger person just cannot fully understand. The role of the wisdom of elders is sometimes cliched, but often forgotten.

I agree re: the need for input. But I am STILL betting that if Dad wanted to talk to son he would pick up the phone and call him. He would NOT send forth his advisors to backstab his son at every turn. Look at the TIMING. It was almost daily.

I still think GHB is IRATE about the interference being directed at his son.
