Bush says he's better informed than his dad, doesn't talk much about policy with him

WASHINGTON (AFP) Apr 25, 2003
US President George W. Bush said Thursday that he was better informed that his father, former president George Bush, and did not spend much time discussing the Iraq war effort with him.

"I really don't spend a lot of time hashing over policy with him," he told NBC News. "He knows that I am much better informed than he could possibly be."

"I check in with him on occasion, but now, we don't talk every day," he added.

"Our relationship is more of -- and our conversations are more along the line of -- a dad and a son: a dad conveying to his son how much he loves him, which is important, even at the age of 56 years old, it's important." Bush said.
