Jacob Weisberg describes George W. Bush's entry into politics after a "mid-life crisis" when he turned 40.
Weisberg believes Bush consistently chose to do the opposite of his father's policies in an attempt to define himself against his father.

Looking at Bush's biography, Weisberg sees that Bush "tried to be like his dad and didn't do very well at it."
George H. W. Bush was "the chosen one," while his son George W. Bush failed to live up to his legacy.
