Listened to Bush Sr.
Gave lots of credit to others, but there was a stark omission of Reagan.
No Credit for Reagan???
He didn’t say his name, period.
And he did talk about the roles of people before the wall came down and not just at the actual time.
Tell me where in this video the word Reagan was uttered from his tortured bitter lips?
Try again.
Likely true.
Biggest injustice of the Reagan Admin was the failure to put Bush Sr. in a pine box for long term storage.
“Gave lots of credit to others, but there was a stark omission of Reagan.”
Initially I was bothered by this.
I have to admit my personal expectation was to hear him give praise,
honor and glory to the triumvirate:
Reagan, Thatcher, and John Paul II.
But reflecting on the interview...it did seem to be more about the
“end game” and how the actors on the scene at that time didn’t
“screw up” the terrain as prepared by Reagan, Thatcher and JP II.
But I must admit as a person that is old enough to remember the
building of “The Wall”...and young enough to be around for the fall
of The Berlin Wall...
I was at first bothered not to hear a mention of Reagan.
Call me too kind, but I chalk it up to the format and actual questions
of the interview...plus Papa Bush did enough heavy lifting to keep
us out of nuclear war at a crucial juncture.
(and yes, I don’t agree with all of Papa Bush’s actions, especially
folding on the “no new taxes” pledge and some other mis-steps)
I don’t buy it, look at him pause and think, hesitate and phrase.
It was purposeful, he is a bitter bitter man.
Oh, by the way, this isn’t the first time he has pulled this stunt before.
He has done these at least three times before.
After the last time he was thumped for this, I am surprised he did it again.
I bet there are threads still on FreeRepublic from the last time he did it.
Blue-bloods are usually bad for America.
Reagan was forced to take him.
Daddy bush is a globalist. That is why he did not ring true with the American people and why he hated Reagan. It is why his sort hate Palin. Reagan was an American-American and did not do as he was told by the globalists. Palin won’t obey either.
could be the pause was just a senior moment...I get them alot.:O)
I don’t think so, not the first time he pulled this stunt
Sigh, I wish my senior moments could be explained some other way.....:O(
That's very true. Reagan also let Bush and the other liberals like Baker, have too much power in his administration and in the party.
The Bush (Rockefeller) Republicans are in charge of the party and will fight like hell to keep us from getting another Reagan in office.
Bump to >>never ever<<.
