He also said that it makes Barbara mad but I think it hurts him more than makes him mad. Do you remember when GHWB was Pres and how angry GWB was at the criticism aimed at his father? I remember reading that from a couple of witnesses who were on the premises. It's a family thing, isn't it?
Yeah, he looked like he could almost cry at times, when talking about the vitriol against Dubya...
I think there is probably part of him that wants to "make up" for losing to Clinton...and doing things that he "didn't finish"...but, he did have to admit that he doesn't keep up with things like he would if POTUS...
