I have heard an interview with one of the former Presidents (I think it was Carter) where he talked about how the former Presidents are almost always very close because they are the only ones who truly understand what their life is/was like as President. The responsibility, the security, essentially living in a glass house, etc. They all seem pretty humbled by the experience too.
