, much more of a young man who was -- i'm always captured by the idea he as a young man at georgetown university was already thinking about how he could become student body president, how he could move up, you know, helping other students unpack so he would get he to know them and their parents and just sort of insinuate into their lives and he was extremely smart and not as -- not as much of a reserved figure if you will as the first president bush. but much more out there, friendly, sort of the hail fellow well met-type attitude and if you come forward to that to george w. bush, again, what struck me there what a nice person. in other words, this is the guy who's working really hard at this job. someone who is really disciplined about his life. someone who put his own life on a certain track and understands who his dad has been and the opportunities he's had and absolutely feels blessed to be in this position and fortunate. and say working really hard at it and trying to do his best in obviously a difficult situation with 9/11 and with president obama what always strikes me is that no matter w
