Following the death of George H.W. Bush, who passed away on Friday at the age of 94, many politicians and his children shared heartfelt tributes to the late 41st president of the United States.

“I already miss the greatest human being that I will ever know,” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush wrote on Twitter Saturday morning. “Love you Dad!”

Mere moments after his father’s death was announced, former President George W. Bush also shared a heartwarming tribute to his father and to his parents’ love on Instagram....

Its his Father, after all. A son should believe such.

My obscure, not famous Dad, even with his failings, was pretty great too.

I agree.

However, I did not want my country turned into North Mexico.

Hopefully there is money set aside in the estate for staff to look after Jeb.

Good point. I’ve been sorta thinking the same thing. Hell, there was a story about freakin’ Obama visiting H.W. three days before this death. I get that Jeb et al. have their own lives, families, blah blah blah, but it’s kind of like, “Where the heck were YOU in his final days?”

My Mother was a nobody but to me she was the Greatest Human being on Earth. Now does that offend you? I surely hope not but if it does, not sorry:-)

I have no problem with such declarations of love and admiration from family members, which seem absolutely normal, fitting and beautiful to me. God bless all.

I have been wondering that about W specifically, Dallas is only 30 mins away from Houston by plane ....

Notwithstanding my feelings about Jeb, I will not say anything derogatory on this post.

I miss my Dad, too.

Ok. Not a fan, but how were they supposed to know he was going to die, just when he did? He’d been lingering for weeks. Were they all supposed to camp out there, every hour, just in case?

I’m sure he was everything to his kids and grandkids.

But this media love affair is ridiculouse. Now he’s the most successful ONE TERM president in history. Then why didn’t they support him in 1992.

I am singleing out W because is so close geographicaly, and since I basically did camp out with my Mom before she was called home.

I held her hand when she passed and I am glad I was there with her then, so maybe this is why I am so curious about it.

Love the criminal but not the criminals actions. Obviously ole Jebby didn’t know his daddy very well, unless of course he was also complicit. Jebby always appeared to be a mama’s boy anyway.

I voted for George H. W. Bush twice. I admired his military service. I was a trifle disappointed that he was not equal to Reagan, but Reagan was a tough act to follow.

What is hypocritical is how the Democrats and the Left are praising Bush as a bi-partisan (in order to slam Trump). Remember how Bush was depicted during his presidency? Take a look at several movies such “Naked Gun 2-1/2” (Bush is a heartless politician intent upon allowing energy companies to pollute the world) or “Dave” (a president is patterned upon Bush without using his name). Worse still, was “W” in which Oliver Stone depicted #41 as an awful parent with an idiot son in #43.

I’m glad you were with your mom when she passed, but we don’t have any way of knowing the reasons W wasn’t there. Maybe the last time he saw him, he looked stronger. The point is, we don’t know. Why speculate negatively?

Hear, hear!
It struck me, listening to W eulogize his father, that so many children in America are being brought up without a Dad. And I think of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson’s point about fatherless young men.

Peterson said that fatherless young men would protest to him that “I never had a father, so I don’t miss that,” and he would reply, “I never had a million dollars, either - but I miss it!"
