Just because a person criticizes someone deosn't mean they don't respect them. It is part and parcel of being in the public eye one will be subject to criticism; and those who do have the intelligence, character, self-awareness, and poise to realize there is is difference are those who, like GHWB, take it with grace and, perhaps, humor, and will bear no long ill will. One thing that is true about GHWB is that he didn't defile the office of POTUS with petty, childish, overtly childish personal attacks on those who criticized him: he just went on doing his job, to the best of his ability because he was a grown up man, with grown up experiences who was also a gentleman...
