That's why I'd fail. :-)

Good grief. This must have been sheer torture.
Ronald Reagen handled both very well--especially adding to the honor of the office by representing the role so well.
Today, George W. Bush honors Bill Clinton for having held the Office of President and honors that office. That is good and proper, and Clinton's eventual State Funeral will be good and proper as well to honor the Office he held.
But Clinton was ghastly in his role as President. That is a personal failure on his part that Americans largely forgave because the country was not collapsing and because Bob Dole presented such a poor alternative. History will record that Clinton presided over the roaring '90s, largely provided by Reagan. His personal failings will be a footnote, if that.
GW is a better person than I. I would never be able to get through this speech.
Heh, heh, he's got better looking legs than his wife.
LOL! Love it!
Rush played some clips. I've never heard the President sound insincere until today. He read the words, he didn't mean them.
>>He filled this house with energy and joy.<<
...Not to mention he drove up the price of Kleenex.
I think this speech is hillarious, it sounds just like what some of the leftist media tried to do Reagan last week. I think that it's called damning with faint praise. The funniest remark was the one about Hillary's brothers being two boys. Hillary must be seething. I wish I could have seen the expressions on their faces while they were listening. I bet they didn't sit there with their eyes closed.
and Scope.
I'm curious as to whether there was a similar event hosted by Clinton for 41. Anybody know? Or know how it was handled?
I watched it and thought Bush was very good...and so did the people on the the live thread.
And he's time its release with this presentation to kick off his book tour.
He'll be signing books in the lobby as you exit. Please purchase several so that the publishers can recoup some of their losses. billy will remember your purchases, and he will remember those who fail to make purchases--hilly will be sitting behind him taking down your names to add to their files.
mark to read later
Yes, I heard on another thread and Clinton was gracious on that occasion...It is the only way to go (as painful as hearing Bush's nice words were! LOL)
haha!! I now NEED your services!
You can do that with a desktop compuer keyboard, but with a laptop, you have to buy a new keyboard. I know......
The President has taken a page out of the late President Reagan's playbook. He is being gracious and kind.
