My recent HBO binge continues...
They have a doc on George H.W. Bush, our 41st president. This guy, when you think about it, has a highly decorated family and life. His dad was a Senator, he was a Representative, then Ambassador to China, then head of CIA, then Vice President, and President. Not to mention when growing up, he went to Yale and was Captain of the baseball team, and before that, a pilot in the south Pacific in WWII and was shot down and rescued by a sub at sea.
Finally, his son was Governor and President, and Jeb was Governor.
Not a bad life. He says his only regret is his father did not live to see him as President.
Not to mention, he lives in Maine, here:
Surrounded by the Atlantic on three sides.
One more point:
Our last three presidents, including his son, never truly served in the military and in my opinion, do not have the type of resume 41 has. Each was a Governor or Senator, but it still not the same.
