"Bring it On" (cont.)
Even when George W. Bush leaves the office of US President, he is likely to be the most expensive ex-president the US has ever had.
Congress recently approved 16.5 million dollars to begin training Secret Service agents to protect Mr. Bush when he leaves office.
"He is the only president that invaded a country without provocation and without it being started by the other side. I think he has gained a lot of enmity. ... There are a lot of people who resent this president, both externally and internally, some of whom have lost sons and daughters and had people injured in the war in Iraq."Chuck Vance, former Secret Service agent and former son-in-law of ex-President Gerald Ford.
