"But holding the office entails far different considerations for the Bushes than it does for the Clintons..."
I agree with you totally... BUT, I think there is a certain of..... I guess respect, but it just sounds like the wrong word when talking about Clinton. I guess when you're among others who have held the Office that YOU now hold, who have been privilaged to certain information that you have been privialged to, made decisions that only a President can make, and frankly has had the weight of a nation on them as you have, however differently circumstanced.... I don't know, I guess there is a pretty large commonality???
Trust me, I hate the scumbag.... He disgustingly defiled the Oval Office, the same office Ronald Reagan would not enter without wearing at least a sports jacket out of respect for that "Office"...
I do "get it", but there is a certain link between them, simply because they are part of such a small group of men who have been President of the United States, that's all....
I completely agree with you. I think there are considerations here that W made, that we'll never know about.
