Call me a quisling, but with Bono, I had to give it up. Props to GWB for having a tanker full of class. Of course he learned it from his momma and his daddy.

[Mo1]

I can't believe this rain ... FOFL!!!

[homemom]

Dare we hope for an EXpresidential library opening electrocution? the toons would be made cause the attention got taken away from them.

Sr. Bushes talking "When can we leave, George?"

[JFC]

That is so weird that Bono would talk after W.
Not in the dims world, They live and die by hollywood

[Howlin]

I never doubted that for a minute.

I'm looking down the road to the day we go to the opening of 43's library.

This is kind of sad looking, isn't it? Everybody standing alone under their own umbrella?

Didn't anybody think about a TENT for the dignitaries?

Bush looks bored out of his mind.

"Sunday, Bloody Sunday?"

Does this music have anything to do with this library and/or this country?

[gopwinsin04]

Bono's hairline is receding big time..

[Diddle E. Squat]

I missed the speech, did W say "Bless their hearts"?

[kcat]

I was just thinking...the President and the former Presidents are there. Couldn't they rent some kind of tarp to keep them out of the rain?

[xp38]

This is like a road wreck you can't stop looking at.

[Constantine XIII]

Wow, that has to be the evilest clinton pic ever!

[bonfire]

Carter? No. Clinton was conceived by the Devil.

[SuziQ]

Matthews calls it a "generous" speech.

That's because BOTH GHW Bush and President Bush are gentlemen with CLASS, something neither Matthews nor either of Clintons will ever have.

[sweetiepiezer]

Just take three deep breathes old cracker and settle down. lol

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

Amazing..........U2 is on stage performing. Real smart. I wonder if the morons that organized this event realize the audience that will be in attendance for a Presidential Library opening. They audience members are probably 50 yrs old at least.

A rock n' roll act is somewhat inappropriate for a Presidential Library event, even if it is Clinton's.

[Quilla]

President Bush is magnanimous in all situations. A true gentleman personified. What did you want him to do, insult a U.S. President?

[gopwinsin04]

Piano playing 'The Hands of America' from Gangs of New York...

[miele man]

With regard to the rain, I've noticed that as Hilary and Chelsea stand next to each other with their umbrellas, rain will occasionally run off the umbrellas much to the aggravation of them. Hilary looked quite peeved twice when water ran off Chelsea's umbrella and onto her. Chelsea really looked ticked when Hilary spun her umbrella and water then hit Chelsea in the face. Still later, Bill raised his umbrella and tilted it toward Hilary. As the water ran down close to her neck, she looked like she wanted to slap him and almost had the same look toward Chelsea. This is a very dysfunctional family.

[small voice in the wilderness]

You know you'd think that they could choose some better music. The dems. are depressed enough. Sounds like Jonestown music.

[exhaustedmomma]

That "bridge to the 21st century" looks like a bunch of trailers off a big mac truck welded together, placed in a landfill, and dangling over a cliff. Bleak. Not too promising looking. Must have got the idea from a Mad Max movie.
