I saw this and thought the same. Governance and governing is changing as governments get out of the business of creating and managing public spaces.
Think two tier society.
Damned right! (Actually it's an n > 2 tier society, just like we live in an n > 2 tier world....)
George W can afford his "home on the range" where he can do anything he darned well pleases and the guards will keep the American People out.
We get to live and work under "free" conditions of intimidation. Legally incorporated "peer pressure" at home and the whims of the bosses freed from government regulations and unions at work. (Of course, if you happen to live in welfare housing, you may not even be able to have an overnight guest.)

As George W said (well, not exactly...):
When you own a tract house, every day is toe-the-line day.
I wonder why Bush doesn't quote Kant, since Kant believed that freedom was [voluntary] obedience to impersonal law that doesn't give a sh-t about "you".
