Bush. Before and after.

It's funny to see this 2 interviews. First is the first one after Omaba´s victory. Second is made before Bush became president, talking about the good economic situation not being involved in any big war. In exit interviews, President Bush sounds reflective, even chastened, while Vice President Dick Cheney is defiant to the end. Historians say presidents, especially those who serve two terms, often grow reflective at the end of their tenure. “They tend to be exhausted, they’re worn out, they’re trying to make some sense of their administrations, and there’s a natural tendency for them to want to give their own perspective,” said Jay Winik, who got to know Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney after they read his book, “April 1865,” an account of the closing month of the Civil War.
