But if the older Bush had used the 'Clymer' remark, it could have done wonders for his image! LOL! It would have erased any of the stupid medias commentaries about how he didn't understand how the scanners in stores work! He'd been a little more macho or sumthin! As it was, I swear everybody I knew thought Barbara wore the pants and had the male hormones n' stuff! She was just more a straight shooter blunt outgoing sort.

Bush let himself be outfoxed.

He squandered some fairly good opportunities.

but I don't think anyone else could have done any better against what he had to face: The Dems sold their souls and let someone totally corrupt them because he could lie well enough to get elected. Buchanan....who would give a nickel to hear what he has to say now. Perot....A Bush hater who almost single handedly gave us the Slickster. The Media...who were so totally juiced and committed to giving us anybody (or thing) than another Republican President.

A public willing to listen to these shysters.

Tall odds at best

GHWB would never say that .. it's not in his upbrining .. even though he would have thought it .. he would not use those words

As for him knowing about the scanner .. If I recall they were new to stores back then ... besides that ... his was Vice President and President for the previous twelve year .. I don't think one would find him at the Grocery Store

As for Babara wearing the pants .. what wife doesn't .. LOL And yes she is a straight shooter and says what she thinks .. I somehow can relate to that ..

The Media had an agenda for Clinton to be President and would and did make GHWB look like a fool to help push their agenda

Gee .. didn't the media also do that with his son????
