Bush Will Miss Airforce One, White House Cooking

NATASHA T. METZLER | November 27, 2008 01:56 PM EST | AP


WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush is relishing the chance to see "the klieg lights shift somewhere else," although he admits he'll miss perks like White House cooking and flying on Air Force One.

"Frankly, I'm not going to miss the limelight all that much," Bush said in an intimate family conversation with his sister, Doro Bush Koch, about how he'll feel when he leaves the White House to make way for Barack Obama on Jan. 20.

"Been a fabulous experience to be president," Bush told Doro in the conversation recorded for the oral-history organization StoryCorps. But he said he'll be ready to go when the time comes.

Bush did acknowledge in the Nov. 12 conversation _ aired Thursday on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" _ that he would miss the trips on the presidential jet and not having to worry about traffic. He and first lady Laura Bush both agreed in the talk that they would miss the chefs at the Executive Mansion, but disagreed about who would be in charge of meals when they move back to Texas in January.

"I'm sure I'm going to lose a lot of weight, because Laura's going to be the cook," Bush deadpanned. The first lady responded, "You're going to be the person grilling, though, I think."

non-fabulous experience, doesn't it?

32. It's gonna be tough going back to torturing small animals, livestock, immigrants...
and "ferners" without the Residential Power and the implied immunity. It's gonna suck for him.

As much as we hate him for what he's done, his life if about to become his own worst Hell - he's got a monkey on his back that few of us could even conceive, and he's about to go into forced withdrawal. Shit, Cheney's probably going to die within a week of the inauguration - Dumbya probably doesn't have that option and, after eight years, he's just beginning to realize how hugely he's fucked up.

Small comfort, but between the withdrawal of personal power and the constant threat of indictment by the international courts, I'd be willing to forgo the retirement package and just get the Hell out of Dodge - and where do you run when you're the most hated person on the planet? Even Paraguay has rescinded their invitation.

11. Heh, I know one of the AF1 chefs. Nice lady. Refuses to talk about work.
Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 05:08 PM by YOY
I dare say (and she will never express this until he leaves..perhaps never) that she will not miss him one iota.

14. How hard is it to find someone who makes a decent PBJ sandwich and oreos and milk?
I mean really, Bush's palate should not be too hard to satisfy. I have a seven year old who could probably fill the job description.

15. What a card! I love that guy. You know what you are going to miss, smirk?
Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 05:26 PM by onehandle
Forced respect and attention from the hundreds of people who work for you.

After you leave, few will want to come anywhere near you. People hate you.

And not just liberals. Regular people will want little to do with you.

You will be a prisoner. A free one, but a prisoner all the same.

31. I doubt the little sociopath cares if anyone will miss him or not. He loathes the
majority of Americans and clearly has demonstrated that these past 8 yrs.

19. No fucking class: "I'm sure I'm going to lose a lot of weight, because Laura's going to be the cook,
I hope she dumps his ass. One of the most honored things a woman can do for a man is to cook for them. And when they make statements like that in return, then screw them.

20. This makes me sick
As if this idiot is ever going to not have a staff to cook for him, drive in traffic or ride on a commercial jet. The phony baloney attempt at being a regular person is just too much for me.

22. They was good !!
:-)

I'll really miss that fried fish with those hushpuppies. Laura says that if I want 'em, I'll have to cook 'em myself. Maybe I will?

And that wine! That shit was so good! Sometimes I could barely stutter thru my press conferences...

27. Exactly...yesterday, I heard him use "whom" correctly and he wasn't speaking with that cornball...
Texas accent.
He no longer needs to fool the rubes.

29. My thoughts exactly!!!!! As I lay in bed listening to it on NPR, I thought, "We've been HAD."
That fake accent was GONE. He ENUNCIATED. He actually showed the fine Northeastern education he had.

I was PISSED.

Then I was sad.

We've been HAD.

30. He's still an idiot. NE education or not.
Edited on Fri Nov-28-08 12:50 PM by YOY
Some of it is an act...like the accent, the pig farm, the rolled up shirt, etc... Most of it truly is not. Ask someone who knows someone who knows someone in DC.
