While I was alive through all of Clinton's tenure, it is Bush who came in during most of my school years, and like any other Bay Area kid, my opinion was not a high one (I do know that one kid wrote to Bill and actually got an answer though, while nothing of the sort came from Bush).
In middle school, we had to write letters to the guy, and, one kid headed his letter "Dear Mr. Bushwhacker"
And before that, even in 2002 and '03, it was common to see shrubs with the "No" sign all over them.
In 2nd grade we wrote to Bush and we all got a reply .
I believe this was in January 2005 , and I wrote to Bush about how cool of president he is , and my winter break and hoped his winter break went well too .
