Perceptions change with time and you can't rush it, in my judgment.
George W. Bush
They've seen me make decisions, they've seen me under trying times, they've seen me weep, they've seen me laugh, they've seen me hug. And they know who I am, and I believe they're comfortable with the fact that they know I'm not going to shift principles or shift positions based upon polls and focus groups.
George W. Bush

George W. Bush
