| Description | “Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you,” wrote George H. W. Bush to Bill Clinton on the morning of the latter’s inauguration.
It is traditional for an outgoing president to write an Oval Office letter for his successor. The contents of these missives tend to remain secret, but Bush’s well-wishes to Clinton in 1993 have been revealed by Brad Meltzer, author of the new novel “Inner Circle,” to ABC News. Bush sent Meltzer a copy of his letter to Clinton.
Meltzer told ABC News that Bush’s words are evidence of his strength of character: “What I love about the letter is here is a moment where George Bush has every reason to hate Bill Clinton. It is the end of a bitter campaign and instead what George Bush does in this moment is he puts our country above his own personal feelings,” he said. |
