Check it out! I almost won a contest to interview GW! Came in under 100 folks out of 11000 who entered. My name is John J. Dixon. I am a 47 year old 3.83 student at a small MCC on the Colorado river studying education. I am a father of 3 grown children and my oldest is a senior in highschool. In May I will be graduating with her and we are moving after almost thirty years here on the river via Rochester NY to Tempe AZ so we both can attend ASU. I will be teaching history. Its a far cry from the HVAC and plumbing company I was raised on owned by my father and worked by my 4 brothers and I so many years ago back east. I am an icy cold christian conservative and attending college has been adverse at best in such a liberal atmosphere. While here I was a BUSH man and I had to fight my way through every class surrounded not only by liberal students but also by an entire staff of liberal teachers and suits. I spent an entire semester writing a 4000 word essay called Last of the Caucasions, an indept look at our presidents American life, political journy and presidential legasy. My questions will not be flying solo as I will use quotes from the paper ,which means so much to me, and follow with a question. Since President Bushes departure our lifes have been cheepened and darker and I want to have this priveledge of being there for this event because I and my wife loved President Bush and his family like our own and what was done to him and his family by our own people still sits deep inside the bottom of my guts and I need it to go away so I can live out my mission in Christ and help families and children of the future to keep the hope alive of someday returning this country to a favorable view in Gods eyes and to return to where we were when my presedent left his office. I run a website called the Direction Connection where I store all my writings and host an online radio station called Liberty Rock Radio. Question #1 Martha Holton who lived just down the street from Mrs. Bush and cross the way from Mr. Bush as they grew up in Midland says’s “Texans and particularly Midland are just friendly!” Midland go’s all out if there’s a need for anything! That’s how we do it here! I don’t know if George Bush ever met a stranger. We are all American people. We have a strong sense of right and wrong. The pace is slow. In ten or fifteen minutes you can just about go anywhere.” “People speak their minds in Midland, and their word is their bond!” {A1} President Bush: Could you brush on a small anecdote or story about your neighbor Martha Holten and then try to tell us how growing up in Texas positively affected you future and successes in your life? Question #2 Bush finished his high school years at Phillips Academy, a boarding school (then all-male) in Andover, Massachusetts, where he played baseball and during his senior year was the head cheerleader. Bush attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. During this time, he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, being elected the fraternitys president during his senior year. Bush also became a member of the Skull and Bones society as a senior. Bush was a keen rugby union player, and was on Yales 1st XV. He characterized himself as an average student.Beginning in the fall of 1973, Bush attended the Harvard Business School, where he earned an MBA.He is the only US President to have earned an MBA {A6} President Bush: Your humility has always been what drew my wife and I to you and continues to amaze us! With these EDU stats and being the only president to ever earn an MBA, how did and do your keep your self so humble concerning the brutalness of your critics concerning your intellegence and education? Question #3 So close your eyes and imagine being at the helm of a F-102 soaring over the Texas landscape at mega speeds while controlling a raging explosive fuel fed beast of the air…and dare you~! I say again! Dare you take cheep shots at this man’s pride and accomplishment as a trained jet fighter and defender of these lands borders? Mr. Bush served his country as his father’s fathers did. And I will refuse any partisan, un-American spin of its merit and his quality as a man in that uniform. God bless Mr. Bush and his historically honorable family and its dedication to our freedom and defense of its true nature of liberty. Alexander the Great said,” man reaches and man falls and man reaches and man falls.” Mr. Bush never stops reaching and that’s enough for me. President Bush: With so much conntoversy surrounding your time as an AirForce pilot, could you tell us what is was like to to fly these experimental classic machines and touch lightly on any bit of advice or wisdom your father passed on to you durring this time defending the southern borders of our great nation? Question #4 Unwittingly this semantics of prejudice that not to long ago was an undercover and rarely admitted to application of persuasion in the media, is now everyday, out front and sharpened like a knife for its demagogy purposes. If Fox News reported a story on Mr. Bush it might use the word discrete to describe his actions or activities for the day. While CNN would step to the middle-left on the same story and describe Mr. Bush’s activities or actions that day as cautious. And finally MSNBC will close out the same story with the word cowardly as to describe the activities or actions of Mr. Bush that day. After a while you just watched everyday as they peeled away the moral clarity and merit that held back and together the liquid soul of journalism. On Fox Mr. Bush is a humanitarian, on CNN he is an idealist and on MSNBC…he is a do-gooder. The words we chose often come from some implicit value judgment we have made of a person and desire to arouse the same attitudes in others. We have come so far from integrity and with these sleazy practices becoming everyday tools in our politics and journalism, we miss so many significant events, possibilities, opportunities and truths while our attention is held by the semantics of prejudice. President Bush: I know you said that you did not watch much TV or any cable opinion broadcasts during your time in charge of the free world. Could you one ,tell us if you started watching any of it after your return home to Texas and two, explain lightly how you feel personally about the overload of the semantics of prejudice that seems to be turning Americans against each other in this partisian nightmare we call modern day America? Question #5 “No one could have anticipated the peril that we faced as a country during his administration. Yet know one could have stepped up and been better suited to confront that peril. It required vision, courage, patience, optimism, integrity, focus, discipline, determination, decisiveness and devotion to this nation, It was...a matter of character.”{A-8} President Bush: While watching the movie GW by Oliver Stone , I coulent help but be more proud and interested in you and your life. I dont think he made the movie with that intent for effect on its veiwers. I couldent help but weep during the scene with Stacy Keach where you asked about your faith and Gods presence in your life. I still to this day play it over again when Im feeling left out or I am bordering doubt. Please tell us a little about your salvation and how your personal relationship with Christ and the living God continue to enhance your mission at home in Texas as you release your new book and baptise your new Library and Policy Center? dearjohnyaz1.tripod/ Natalie Harper To: John J.
