Very nice....so great to see this servant-hearted man well received by the crowd. Hats off to Texans for their gracious response.

It’s good to see that he got a warm welcome.

That’s because W is one of them. If president Urkel did it, there would be teeth grinding, spitting and people looking at their watches.

FNC broke into their broadcast to show a live shot of this. The entire stadium was on their feet applauding. GWB threw an OK first pitch. The guy is sixty and looks good.

Laura and the daughters were in the stands.

He wasn’t perfect but he probably could have done better without the rat congress but even so.....he’s so far above what we’ve got now...

man oh man....i’d feel a whole lot safer if W was still in the WH.

He spent too much imo, but in global affairs he had it right..he put America’s interests first and he had no problem telling the world that America is a GOOD country. I miss that especially after this weekend.

It's wonderful to see him.

A moment of wholesomeness in the wilderness of political garbage coming from DC day after day.

We were blessed with Bush's presidency IMO.

It would be better for him to do the first tip-off for the NBA....preferably in some inner-city that doesn’t make many cars anymore. They’d love him.....especially if he brings some walking around cash to hand out. Make it another trillion.....why not.....
