***If you are implying he is any more talented than any other person born
into a powerful, political family I disagree. Its simply a matter of staying within his birthgiven social strata.

***I just do not see 8 in bush. He is a nervous man. Remember six is a pscyological amalgum of 4 and 8. Traits of dependency and wanting a parental protection coupled with traits of domination and providing parental protection. Counterphobic 6's can seem like 8's.

The simple answer is usually the best. Overanalyzing can lead to confusion.
