In a new interview with the Hoover Institute, President Bush talked about how he likes life as a former president. "Eight years was awesome, and I was famous and I was powerful. But I have no desire for fame and power anymore," he said. He added that he thinks it's bad for the presidency to have former presidents inserting themselves into the conversation. "I don’t want to undermine our president — whoever’s president — and a former president can do that. … Either you’re in or out of politics... you can’t be halfway.” We here at Lean Forward thought the quote itself was awesome… and started constructing a little lunch time “match the quote” game for your entertainment.
