Well, Bush is the political equivalent of that. Old political power but not arrogant (unless you mess with his security guard), or condescending.
What Fred probably isn't aware of is the West Texas oil field trash influence on Bush's persona. In the oil patch a man's word is his bond and everyone carries his own weight and accepts responsibility for his own misfortunes (dry holes).
Having been raised in the Panhandle, I agree completely. Making the mistake of judging folks by their attire in West Texas can cost you a bundle in sales. Humility is considered the epitome of class there.
