I wasnt even 4 yet when that happened, but I can verify Im an expert, lol just kidding.interesting take on this...my news about the states was very limited during the Reagan years.
What most people dont know is that Bush actually was friends with Hinckley's family for many many years and were even campaign donors.
Another interesting fact is Bush Sr. claimed he couldnt remember where he was when Kennedy was shot.......although he WAS in Dallas that morning!!! He actually called the FBI (confirmed by a FBI memo) claiming he knew who may have shot him, and it was someone he personally knew and of course it wasnt that person officially anyways.
Anyways its a long story but check this out....
