That. He has written other books in that he he is best kn
He talked about it and of course other people were talking to him about it. I knew what it was like. I knew already what it would be like to run for president. I knew what it would be like to live in the white house. George and i had an advantage that only one other family has had so far, the John Quincy Adams family. Because wed seen somebody we loved in that office, and we visited him very often. We moved to washington in fact in 1987, rather, to work on president bushs campaign. And so i saw them then when they were campaigning nationwide, and they still had time to babysit barbara and jenna on a saturday night when george and i would want to go out to dinner. Really that year and a half we lived in washington until president bush was elected in november of 1988. It was a wonderful bonding time for our family.
