I listened intently to Matt Lauer's interview with former President George W. Bush a couple of nights ago on NBC TV. It was an amazing, mesmerizing interaction.
Breath-taking really.
Here's some things I respect from the interview:
1. Mr. Bush was articulate, much more than I remember than when he was in office;
2. He owned up to his mistakes, he admitted when he had been wrong on some decisions (something Barack Obama could learn from);
3. He seemed honest, open, direct, and clear. He did not mince words as politicians usually do;
4. Mr. Bush never criticized his successor. To quote Mr. Bush, "President Obama has plenty of critics. I am not going to be one." Wow, CIVILITY from a politician! Well done, President Bush. Thank you.
5. "I believe in justice, not in revenge." ~ George W. Bush on being at Ground Zero after Sept. 11th.
