Bush, the current president’s father who inspired Americans to volunteer by speaking of “a thousand points of light.”"I think (Obama’s appeal) could even be bigger, because people criticized Bush and they said, ‘Well you don’t really mean it, this is just a way to get government out of things,’” Stern said. “I think this will be more equivalent to Kennedy.”(Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis: Editing by Dean Goodman) Entertainment People Lifestyle.
