Assessing the Presidential Candidates

Many thanks for Barry Bearak’s article regarding Bush and his family. I had often wondered about Bush’s background, but I had neglected to put forth the effort to satisfy my curiosity. Your reporter’s excellent article was just what was needed.

My views and respect for Bush are now in focus. He has his head screwed on right, and if the Republicans get theirs screwed on right and nominate him for President, I will certainly vote for this erudite and dedicated gentleman. He is a patriot who believes that the good of our country must take precedence over self-gratification. Thank you very much.
