Bushes in Naples: George W. and Jeb show personal side in appearance

NAPLES — The Bush brothers packed the house at the Naples Grande Beach Resort.

Former President George W. Bush and his brother Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, spoke Tuesday night as part of the Naples Town Hall Distinguished Speakers Series. They talked issues _ everything from health care and the Iraq war to budget deficits and Social Security reform.

George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. president, has stayed out of the spotlight, limiting his face-time in public since leaving the White House about a year ago.

He and his brother – the state’s 43rd governor – addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 who purchased tickets to see them. Tickets to hear the duo speak started at $200.

The brothers had the crowd laughing, clapping and sighing with heart-felt emotions as they showed their more personal side. A few times, George W. Bush fought tears as he talked about the support of his wife in the Oval Office and how his decisions to send more troops to Iraq hurt families in the U.S. who lost their sons, daughters, husbands and wives to the war.

Poor guy is GONE for the time being. (Bet the Mod warning did that! LOL!)

I wonder if his "appointment" was with a real life shrink? :)

I thought retreads were illegal...?

Just wondering. This guy has been worse than ME on a CRevo thread!! (post-attack-on-me, of course — lol) ;)

He didn’t even wait to begin his personal attacks. He came out spitting and biting — looks like he WANTS to be banned. Or at least have that “Silence of the Lambs” rig they fitted Hannibal with.

Good to know we were right about him being a retread — there are just signs...

Cheers!

I gather from your constant hostility that you are a very unhappy person and you've been hurt by people in your life. You can't continue to project that hostility at this forum - it's not healthy.

I hope you find peace some day, but only if you make a commitment.

WHOO HOO!

Like the Irishman O’Malley said when keeping the promise to his friend O’Reily that he would pour fine scotch onto the latter’s grave on his passing: “You won’t be minding that I’ll be filtering through me bladder first...”

Thanks for the ping, Ohio.

I avoid these threads because I know it will be filled with comments like that one.

But George W. Bush is still my president. If that makes me some anonymous internet loser's enemy, so be it :)

It was directed Mike...and others who told me to “shut up” not you particularly

Where did I tell you to shut up? Point it out if you'd please.

Where did I make GW Bush or George Bush into George Washington? Please point that out.

And feel free to point out any evidence that Jim Tressel ISN'T a good football coach or that Woody Hayes was not a great football coach in his own right in the 60s and early 70s. I'm so sure you'll respond with more hate directed towards me for no reason.

I got a very nasty freepmail from F16Fighter, who clearly has serious anger issues! Yikes!

I can say without a doubt that it is an honor to be hated by such a man. I must be doing something right!

Thanks for getting rid of him.

Well, we both qualify, jonny.......and we're in some pretty good company, I'd say!

(NICE people. :)

It’s hard to reason with irrational, Mike.

Well, now that we know he is working on sneakbacks, we must be ever vigilant. Such is the price of freedom.

I know there is a rule about not posting contents of FRmail, but does it apply to the dead? Is it like lawyer-client privilege and evaporates upon their demise? I would be interested to see just how black his heart is with a cleaned up exemplar.

For future reference, what say thee (thou?), AM?
