Ambition

...Or lack thereof.

Bush's Great Ambition: Wealthy Boredom

Wow, this man is our president!! It's still hard to believe...Not a word in this article about putting his position to good use in the future (because why break the cycle of shittiness?)

A few gems from our dear leader:
[On retirement] "I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch," he says. He also has big plans for making money. "I'll give some speeches, to replenish the ol' coffers," says Mr Bush, who is already estimated to be worth $20m. "I don't know what my dad gets - it's more than 50-75 [thousand dollars a speech], and "Clinton's making a lot of money".
He goes on to note that,
When it all gets too much for the president, his wife Laura storms to the rescue. "She reminds me that I decided to do this," he tells Draper.
And by far, the best quote:
"I've got God's shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot"

Thanks to my schwes to bringing the article to my attention. Made me feel good on an otherwise down day!
