“For 18 years I have resisted talking about current events. I am not go...” — George H. W. Bush Quote

“For 18 years I have resisted talking about current events. I am not going to start now.”

“I'm going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you're not going to believe it.”

“It's much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself.”

“I'm fascinated by current events and the privilege of trying to share it with other people and tell a story.”

“I like fiction and the kind of history that gives the grace and flavor of fiction to the past. No bloviation on current events, please. I can write that junk myself.”

“If I know I'm going to be in a little different system, I'm 39, I can plan for that; we can plan for that. Doing nothing, the status quo, is going to guarantee cuts for current seniors... reforming the system is the only way you shore it up.”
