What did Reagan do when he got out of office? Nothing. Granted, he only had a few years of lucidity left. But what did Bush The First do when he left office. Nothing. Well, he did play golf and make money with his cronies. I expect that Bush The Second will probably not begin some sort of humanitarian foundation after his term in office is over. He'll probably go on to become the leader of a Christian, right-wing lobby group that pushes a Christian Taliban agenda.
