“Perhaps Bush will decide that the best way he can be president is by being a governor, of sorts. He can get to know the local pols, corporate execs, entrepreneurs, neighborhood leaders, the textures of the Gulf communities. Put on a hard hat. Aides will want to know where he went and they’ll be told, “He’s driving the forklift again.” The forklift with the presidential seal. Forklift One.”
(Even three quotes from Achenbach leaves much there for you to go read for yourself. It’s priceless.)
