Unfortunately, if there was a whole different, better Bush that the public didn’t know about, that only emerged when he addressed privileged groups in private – that is Bush’s doing. One of his critical shortcomings. Being unable to translate his success in small groups to the national constituency he was tasked with interacting and communicating with as President.

The cadet’s posting is remeniscent of news coming from the private fundraisers and meetings with bigshots in the 2000 Republican campaign, talking about how impressed they all were with Bush. How engaging he was. How sharp he was. How at ease, eloquent, authentic and fair-minded he was.

If true, more the pity for Bush and the country he diminished himself on a larger stage.
