So George Says...

This is the Oval Office. It’s a shrine to democracy. And we treat it that way. When people walk in here, they -- they don’t come in here in bathing suits and flip-flops. They come in here dressed like they’d come to a shrine. It is to be respected and honored because the Office of Bush is bigger than the person who occupies it. It’s one of the great things about a true democracy -- is that the institutions outlast the individuals, and therefore, there’s stability in the process. - George W. Bush
