Blast from the past

George Bush
- I hope I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, anti-racism. This is what drives me. --George Bush, after aides accused of anti-Semitism resigned from his campaign in 1988.
- It's a very good question, Very direct, and I'm not going to answer it.
- Now, I'm no cowboy. I pitch horseshoes for a living, but I don't ride these broncos. --George Bush in Texas, explaining what his job as President entailed
- It has been said by some cynic, maybe it was a former president, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.' Well, we took them literally--that advice, as you know. But I didn't need that because I have Barbara Bush.
- Look, I want to give the high five symbol to high tech..The truth is, it reminds a lot of people of the way I pitch horseshoes. Would you believe some of the people? Would you believe our dog? - Bush in a speech at a Ford Aerospace plant
- Our parents were of Midwestern stock and very strict. They didn't want us to grow up to be spoiled and rich. If we left our tennis rackets out in the rain, we were punished.
-Nancy Ellis, George Bush's sister
- Who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps and preside over the White House as the President's spouse. I wish him well!
-- Barbara Bush
