I keep remembering that video clip of Bush speaking at some kind of dinner with a lot of very wealthy and powerful people in attendance. He says something like this, "people call you the haves and the have-mores. I call you my base".

Ron Reagan (who probably knows this from his own experience with being a member of a family that occupied the halls of power for eight years), said something along these lines about the little people Bush calls his friends, "you're not his friends... you're 'the help'".
