Bush's Education

This also comes from the article by Joan Walsh, referenced below.

Bush atteneded Yale in the 1960's, at a time when there were numerous protests. His comment on those who attended Yale, as related by one of his biographers is as follows:

"These are the ones who felt so guilty that they had been given so many blessings in life -- like an Andover or a Yale education -- that they felt they should overcompensate by trying to give everyone else in life the same thing."

An interesting comment from someone who would make education a focus of his Presidency and Governorship later in life.
