It is not an act. I guess that depends on the definition of what "is" is. His whole life's an act. bushwatch.com Alexander concludes that "George W. Bush seems less like a moral visionary and more like a man who, above all else, knows how to work the inside game -- a consummate opportunist. His entire life has been the pursuit of accommodating himself to power -- to his father, to his father's wealthy and influential friends.... In the end, what Bush really seems to stand for is business as usual. His greatest achievements all seem to involve an almost magical ability to position himself in the channels where the money flows." He "wants to be president because it will bring him not just more power and prestige but also personal vindication. Should he achieve this goal, he will finally be able to say that he is just as successful as his father." In the end, Bush's desire to become president appears to have little to do with any wish on his part to better the life of the average citizen, despite what he says in his speeches and in his interviews. After the talk, it's the money that walks.
