Thanks for that response. I didn't want to have to bother as there are so many examples...
Unfortunately, your opinion, my opinion, and anonimous' opinion do not affect the mentality of President Bush. The man went to great lengths (I would say nigh on ridiculous lengths) to make sure the outer decorum of the Presidency remained immersed in a sort of idealized purity.
This would include the avoidance of foreign trips and drawing unneeded attention to himself after his time had President elapsed.
