Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush has been admitted to a hospital in Houston for a mild case of pneumonia but "is going to be fine," his spokesman said on Tuesday.

Jim McGrath, official media representative for the 92-year-old former president, said Bush was hospitalized on Friday "for observation due to a persistent cough that prevented him from getting proper rest."

"It was subsequently determined he had a mild case of pneumonia, which was treated and has been resolved," McGrath added in a statement.

He’s gonna be fine?

Good cause I was worried.

Wouldn’t want the man who started a 28 year long descent into one world government madness to get a virus.

a mild case of pneumonia but "is going to be fine,"

Brings back memories of old Soviet leaders who died suddenly after catching a cold or pneumonia. At Bush's age, there are no "mild cases" of pneumonia.

I wonder if POS Obama will attend his funeral. I think POS Obama would be very nervous facing President Trump.

I am sure the Bush family had their hopes on President Hillary eulogizing GHWB.

I really don’t mean to be nasty, but I could care less what happens to anyone in this family. Vile people who have hastened the destructive n of our country.

He was just in the hospital in January...both he and his wife. That’s why they weren’t able to go to Trump’s Inauguration... or so they said.

That would be an awkward run in :)

Carter’s still alive, right?

Carter, GHW’s sons Bill and George, obama and President Trump would be there. Wow.

92 is pretty good for an old WW2 Navy pilot.. Lots of what ifs.. he was once rescued at sea
after a bombing run on a Chichi Jima island antiaircraft gun installation.

Sailors of USS Finback throw Lt. j.g. Bush a line and pull him and his raft alongside the sub.

I just can’t believe I thought it was the end of the world when this guy lost to his “son,” Billy Jeff in 1992.

That depends on how you define alive.

I think this might be the third time he’s been hospitalized for pneumonia in the last couple of years.

Yea, I felt the same way when GA Jimmuh upended the “unelected” President Ford.

Prayers for his recovery. Pneumonia is a killer in the elderly. My grandfather succumbed at age 100 years, 1 month, and 23 days. He was otherwise healthy for that age and sharp as a tack.

It would be funny if Donald Trump didn’t go to the funeral.
Although, I don’t think even he would be quite that bold.

He saved himself and let his crew die.
