Perino: Even Bush ‘doesn’t wish for a third term’ of Bush.»When asked today about the attempts of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to distance himself from President Bush, White House Press Secretary inadvertently admitted that even the President sees the value in moving away from the policies of the past seven years.
He’s been involved in this for a long time and you can’t wish for something that’s not going to happen — he doesn’t wish for a third term. He thinks it’s good that we have a two-term limit in the United States. It’s good for the country to have that smooth, peaceful transition of power every four or eight years; one where you get new energy and new ideas across the board — from the President on down, throughout the administration.
President Bush has acknowledged, however, that he and McCain have the same foreign policy goals. “He’s not going to change when it comes to taking on the enemy,” Bush said of McCain in March.
