If I remember correctly did not Walter Mondale open a restaurant and hotel after he left public office and did he not state, He (Mondale) had no idea of how TAXES and GOVERNMENT REGULATION made it difficult to be a succsess in a small business.

What and add this would make if someone could find the footage.

I think that was George McGovern.

I remember that too, but I'm pretty sure the ex-senator you are talking about is McGovern. He had opened a restaurant or a bed-and-breakfast somewhere in New England, like Vermont or New Hampshire.

You are incorrect - that statement was made by George McGovern after his disastrous defeat in his run for President. He later admitted ruefully that, as a politician, he had participated in encouraging laws and behavior that came to haunt his role as a small businessman. Additionally, I believe he or least his investment had to go bankrupt.
