George H.W. Bush to Trump: Doctor says going to inauguration could 'put me six feet under'
Politicl ^ | 01/18/17 | Nolan D. McCaskill

“Barbara and I are so sorry we can’t be there for your Inauguration on January 20th,” the former president wrote in a note dated Jan. 10. “My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it will likely put me six feet under. Same for Barbara. So I guess we’re stuck in Texas.”

“I want you to know that I wish you the very best as you begin this incredible journey of leading our great country,” he continued. “If I can ever be of help, please let me know.”

I have not been a big fan of either of the Bush's, but H was always a gentleman. I did not believe the story he was voting for Hillary. This letter to DT is exactly what I've would expect from him.

He’s a NWO guy but there’s far worse people out there.

He served the country in WWII and in the CIA, I think.

Plus picking on a 92 year old sick man isn’t conservative.

You’re right.

I hope he survives or goes peacefully into that good night.

See, that’s class. Obama, John Lewis, and the rest of the Democrats don’t have any.

At his advanced age any kind of change to the routine can be deadly. I have no doubt that his and Barbara’s healthy crisis is a serious issue do the family. I wish both George and Barbara a speedy recovery.

We are fortunate to have had 41 in office as the USSR/Berlin wall came down. There were a lot of nuclear missiles to account for.

Yep. The man shows class and respect towards his country as he lays on his deathbed with the last of his strength.

Wishing the couple well and better health. I always thought they were a classy pair.

That’s class! On all sides!

So have the classless libscum tried to make noise of this?

And have the classless Obamas even bothered to comment?

There must be a background story about those socks. I wonder what that could be.

Perhaps a Christmas gift one year from one of his grandkids?

Trump’s election killed Janet Reno.

That’s the first valid excuse I’ve seen by someone declining to attend the inauguration.

Wishing GHW and Barbara the best.

I’m only a few miles away from the inauguration, but I just slipped from Stage III to End Stage of something nasty. I’m close, but can’t go either.
