George W. Bush Nightmare The story goes that on the very first night in the Whitehouse, the new President was awakened by George Washington's ghost. Bush asked the ghost, "President Washington, what is the best thing I could do to help the country?"
"Set an honest and honorable example, just as I did," advised Washington.
And then, later on that night, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson moved through the dark bedroom. "Tom, what is the best thing I could do to help the country?" Bush asked.
"Cut taxes and reduce the size of the government," Jefferson answered.
Bush tried to sleep, but he was again, visited from beyond. It was Abraham Lincoln's ghost."Abe, what is the best thing I could do to help the country?" Bush asked.
Lincoln replied, "Go see a play."
