Doug Wead, the author of "All the Presidents' Children: Triumph and Tragedy in the Lives of America's First Families, recently stated in a C-Span Book TV presentation that presidential children often strive to complete or conclude goals their presidential fathers failed to achieve.
Wead opined that this may be behind Gorge W. Bush's obsession with finishing off Saddam Hussein to compensate for his father's failure to rid the world of the Iraqi dictator.
Wead also opined that Bush's clinging to reducing taxes is based on his drive to erase the elder Bush's failed statement "READ MY LIPS; NO NEW TAXES" policy reversal and make good on it.
Wead should know something about W. He worked for George the First's administration.
Indeed. Yet another reason for rejecting the next Bush who runs for president, be it Jeb, Jenna or whomever. Can you imagine the shortcomings one of them will want to fix?
My suggestion, a lobotomy - for the cure!
