I find myself in agreement with you, GW does not care much what people think. Thats a bit scary in the leader of a democracy...

"Look for Cheney to resign in about 2 years for health reasons, so that a candidate for 2008 can be groomed." Whence comes this obsession with viewing the Vice-President as the heir apparent? The elder Bush was the first sitting Vice-President to win election as President since Jefferson -- and it can be argued that Amendment XII changed the nature of how one got the office so radically that Jefferson and John Adams shouldn't be held out as precedents.

I seriously doubt that Bill Clinton gave much consideration to Al Gore's aspirations, other than lip service (no pun intended). I think Bill was much more concerned on how history would perceive him, and in that respect he acted in his own best interests. In being saddled with a Repulican Legislature the best he could do was go along with them and take credit for what was accomplished.
