IMO George HW IS more cynical than his son, but nowhere near to the point of being a whore. I'd have to say that Clinton wins that honor.

I agree with your assessment of the current President Bush. I believe in him far more than I was ever able to believe in his father - not that I didn't like the elder President Bush, because I did...just not as much as his son.

When George W's father kept mentioning "prayer in school" and "family values" because he thought he could garner votes, it totally turned me off, because I knew he was pandering to the religious right, who apparently were more cynical than he was (Bwhahahaha) because he didn't win a second term.

My problem is that I've either run out of patience or I'm not as happily naive as I once was.
