all of a sudden, this guy named george bush. in 1954, it was the last time the senate had been in those hands except for the six-year stint. we started out arguing about nickels and dimes. whether or not we would increase the minimum wage. it was $4.10 or $4.15. early on, the president was tested and dealing with the question of increasing the minimum wage and what impact that would have on jobs and the economy and small businesses. we talked about practiarental l. we have the chinese issues. because of the president's background, he had tremendous issue in that issue and was what i would describe has more than expert. we dealt with the fsx fighter. there was something that was called civil rights legislation. but correct me if i'm wrong, it started out on an effort to try to deal with a decision of the supreme court and the question of where burden of proof was going to lie in the beginning. it then became a huge thing called civil rights legislation. we vetoed it three times. and we kept vetoing it until congress got it right.

yes, this kid, as is true of most of the people who worked in the bush white house, was bound to george bush by a kind of personal fealty. bush, a man of extraordinary personal qualities -- charismatic, friendly, very much present when people talked to him, people from his closest aides to the lowliest campaign worker. bush, unique, i think, in the annals of the modern presidency and, indeed, in the annals of washington, had built this relation to the people that worked with him that was ferociously loyal and the problem, of course, is that that does not necessarily get you very far. bush's staff did not write books about him, did not leak about him, did not do all the things that the reagan staff did against ronald reagan, who was a stronger and more decisive and more charismatic leader but was quite distant and aloof from his staff. his staff eventually sort of took revenge against him in large measure. but bush's staff -- and i think that the quote you just read reflects it -- loved him in a way that is very rare in washington among washington staffs. i think they thought and bush thought
