Haha, yeah I feel ya.
Look, my family, especially my dad, has had a relationship with the Bush family for 25 years. Pretty much all grew out of the oil business. Dad's best friend's father was, literally, one of H.W.'s closest friends. C. Fred Chambers. He contributed heavily to his campaign, along with bigs from Baker Botts, etc. Fred died a while back....we sat with the Bushes and Chambers family in the church. Taken them fishing, co-hosted parties during various campaigns in Texas, etc. etc. Basically, we know them and they know us. Not like we are buddy-buddy....but you get the picture.
People can think he's an idiot all they want. He made some idiotic decisions. Get him in the right setting and you'll see that he really isn't one.
