HOUSTON — Few people outside of the family knew President George H.W. Bush as well as Jean Becker, his longtime chief of staff. She is sharing stories from her new book, "Character Matters," calling it a roadmap to civility in our polarizing political climate.
Becker is a journalist who became deputy press secretary for Barbara Bush in the White House, then was asked by the president to become his chief of staff once he left office
."I told him I didn't know how to be a chief of staff," Becker said. "I didn't know how to be a boss, do a budget. He said, 'Don't worry about it. We’ll make it up as we go.' So I said, 'OK, I'll stay.' We never talked about it again."

Reagan’s first mistake.
I remember that debate
“A New World Order!”
It at least showed what a do nothing, go along to get along, globalist establishment RINO President is for everyone to see and avoid in the future.
Our national debt in 1992 was $4 trillion, today it’s $34 trillion.
A thousand pints of light - credit, or not so much to Peggy Noonan. They initiated mumbo jumbo worthless meaningless word salad in the lexicon of politics.
Perot should have one. The Bush Crime Family should be in prison.
“Reagan’s first mistake.”
True, but we were toast either way. Simply not enough will in this country to put Labor Unions in their place. We could spiraled down like the UK (same problem) and been destitute in a decade, but instead Bush started the workaround with China effectively negating the unions. For what it’s worth, it did buy us 30+ years, but this bunch in the White House, via Ukraine, has made DAMN SURE that we’ll soon be destitute in the near future, anyway.
A kinder, gentler machine gun hand.
And one of his worst.
I thought that was just normal politician language.
Along with the Clinton crime cartel, Obeyme and Schwartz Gyorgy.
Please.
Georg H.W. Bush you say? I’m trying to imagine anyone who might care.....
If you thought we had a choice before Trump, look at this picture.
Clinton looks like he is is horn dog mode.
Bet he shagged the chick on Wallace’s left.
