dana once said the key to doing george h.w. bush's voice was mr. rogers trying to be john wayne. but when i was listening to the diary, he would be belly aching about the press in very specific terms. like, marine dowd did this, judy woodruff did that, sam donaldson did this. i was beginning to worry as president, the man who won the cold war had watched tv all day. what i realized, somewhat in consultation with tim, part of what happened is he had everything in his briefcase. so he had the white house news sum entry the tape recorder. so he would be on marine one or air force one and pull everything out and start looking at this and be reading this great transcript of everyone who'd been attacking him all the time. so he would just react to it that way. that's the reality. how many of you all love being criticized? maybe you're better than i am, but, you know, it's just -- and that -- to me that's the importance of the work you all do. it's that you all humanize people who are at risk of becoming momentumal and therefore less accessible and character's destiny. the greeks were

elected after george w. bush. george w. bush is elected, barely, sort of, after bill clinton. bill clinton is elected after a single term of george h.w. bush. we can all do the timeline, right, in our heads. it's easiest to do it if you go backwards rather than forwards. there's a lot of things that go into the election of any one president. when you get really reductive and simplistic about it, there is a sort of certain logic that we can at least imagine for how one presidency follows another for how the presidency of one american president creates the possibility for the election of the next one. when george h.w. bush was elected president in 1988, he had been ronald reagan's vice president for two terms. george bush was not seen as a sure bet when he ran for the top of the ticket himself in 1988. it's hard to get elected president after serving for eight years as vice president. people get used to seeing you in that subservient or even sidelined role as vice president. it's a hard place from which to run from the top job. after eight years as bill clinton's vice president in 2000, al gore did not make it. in 1960, after eight years as

the country and they overstate their ability to do that. it's what makes george h.w. bush so interesting because he was so modest about his ability to do that but generally presidents from kennedy forward, i would think, i would even think perhaps eisenhower but will might disagree, presidents have a tendency to believe they can persuade their foreign adversaries and still do what they want to do. this comes back to tim's point about not seeing how what we're doing is perceived as threatening by others. i can build a relationship with you as boris but i can do what i'm doing that undermine russian interests and because boris and i are friends, bill and boris can manage all these things. the problem is that foreign leaders are not persuaded as easily as we think they are and they pay close attention to what we do outside of our personal relationships with them. it takes a long time for presidents to talk like that. >> i think that the -- the very good discussion is not generous enough to soviet foreign policy. in this period jeremy made the point how we would do better if we b
