Oprah asked Bush if he thought Sarah Palin was "the one". He said -- you're trying to drag me back down in the swamp".
It was a pretty funny exchange -- more lighthearted than disagreeable.

With regard about issues that haunt each President -- let's face it, mostly it is a lapse in judgement. It happens because no one is all knowing. In every case (except Clinton), the President felt the urgent need to do "something" for whatever reason. In Clinton's case, his weakness has always been women and he should have realized that would ultimately bring him down. I guess it is a lapse in judgement to some degree. You know, while the ultimate responsiblity falls to the President, I don't think they are sometimes well served by those around them. No one wants to speak the truth to power, so when they perceive that the President is leaning in one direction or another, they step up and provide the "facts" that support that decision. It's nothing that the President does directly, but people are always trying to read the tea leaves and provide what they think the President wants. At least, that's my thought.
