Michael Glickman from Westwood, MA asks:

Did the presidents behave the same in private as they did in public?

Diana Walker responds:

Yes, they behave the same, but they are so much more "normal" not being "on stage." They display the same range of emotions you or I would away from the lights and the mikes.
